    Les Baer -Fix-sighted 1911s specifically the TR Special and the Gunsite model

    In c/2006 I bought this TR SPECIAL from an owner who had not shot the recommned 500 rounds. I completed the recommend break-in and arrived at full reliability which it has demonstrated ever since. The performance and accuracy prompted me to have Baer apply Hard Chrome. Some time ago, I got the...

    Ruger Cylinder measurements

    In the early 2000s, Ruger .45 Colt cylinder mouths measuared .449-inch. The forcing cone/ bore was larger- at least nominally .452. For satisfactory accuracy, people were reaming the chambers for a better fit with the bore and it worked. I sent a cylinder to guy with a reamer and he greatly...

    Ruger SP101s

    Ruger SP101 .357 A view toward Practicality suggests filling out your dance card with extra durable Rugers before indulging in other products.

    Ruger MIM. When?

    My SP/GP 100 revolvers have been around for a couple of decades. Recently, I picked up a new SP101 4.2" barrel and noticed the MIM Trigger and hammer and the modification of the ejector star. When did this happen? Does it extend to the other Ruger DA revolvers?

    Ruger Blackhawks

    The originals used the tradition Colt-type action with "safety", half cock and full-cock hammer positions,. Early ones often had plum-colored loading gates-Ruger not quite being clear on the blueing process and forcing cones tha seemed to be threaded-or at least rough enough to produce much...

    Colt 1903

    Neat little pistol from the Pre-1911 period when semi autos were beginning to take shape. They were the General Officer Pistol for quite a while but before that, Mark Twain had one There are quite a few of them in circulation as well as the 380 that came along in 1908. The limited edition from...

    TALO/Turnbull Super Blackhawk

    I've had a number of SBH revolvers over the years-still have my first one from c: 1977. They have been extra reliable and my only problem with them came with use of the early gunwriter loads using 300 grain bullets- eventual end-float and launched ejector assemblies. With reasonable loads, they...

    3 1/2-inch chamber 12 ga barrel for 870

    I have an old 870 Wingmaster marked TB-trap barrel. The receiver is circa 1960s. Would this be compatable with the "super magnum" chambered barrels? Thanks

    Mauser 96/38-Cut down or "New" barrel?

    I have a Swedish 96/38 with a 1908 receiver. The bolt does not match but headspace is just fine. The barrel, near the muzzle is marked 96/38 with no distinct date or serial number-making me wonder if the barrel was replaced rather than cut down during the modification. The Disc is triangled at...

    anti-gun posting- collecting evidence

    I didn't find this suggestion with the search engine. Sorry about the rep if it has been suggested Since high profile shootings and robberies tend to take place in "gun free" environments, there may be some case law to be made when these things happen in businesses that post signs that create a...
