I am the proud owner of a Sphinx AT 2000 P that I bought well used at a gun show for just a little more than a CZ would run, and have enjoyed shooting for several years now. (For those who don't know, it's essentially a high quality Swiss-made clone of a CZ-75 compact.) Recently I noticed that...

The titanium cylinder on my friend's 340PD is getting some weird erosion on it. He says he's only shot it 250 times and that he has NEVER fired loads lighter than 110 grains like the billboard on the barrel warns. Supposing he's not lying, I can only assume the strength treatment isn't quite up...

I just installed a new cylinder lock spring in a Freedom Arms 83 after its original gave out after many, many cockings. Installation seemed fairly easy, but now the gun will only enter half cock when aimed downward. The trigger return spring acts on the trigger before and after cocking, but in...

I bought a Freedom Arms 83 Premier grade on the internet and just picked it up today. Everything looks about perfect on it but the rear sight, while calibrated to shoot dead on at 75 yards, looks a little odd to me. Is this kind of asymmetry normal? What's going on there?

A friend asked me if I wanted a Colt d-frame "parts gun" for a few bucks. I shrugged and said maybe, depending on the shape of the parts. Then he handed me a 1968 Colt Cobra in .38 with an absolutely immaculate finish. I look at him like he's nuts and say sold. He said check it over first...

I so far possess an Uberti 1861 Colt replica, a Pietta Remington 1858 replica, and a Colt 1873 Single-Action Army. I notice when cocking the 1861 that it clicks three times, and when I cock the 1858 it clicks only twice, with the action feeling especially "springy" and less authoritative than...

I bought a Diamondback in need of some serious help because it was the right price. It's not even that old, so I don't know where all the bluing went, but that's not the problem. The sideplate was on crooked when I bought it. I figured I could remove it and put it on properly, but it's not...

A friend stopped by today and left this with me. He says he found it in his grandfather's belongings. It appears to have been made between 1888 and 1910 according to its trademark and a google search. Everything seems find on it, excepting the rust, except I opened it up and found the...

I've encountered, for sale, an MR-73 with a phosphated or parkarized type finish. The seller believes it to be the weapon's original finish. Literature on these things is scarce even in an extensive web scrawl, but nothing seems to suggest one would ever be factory parkerized. Can anyone weigh...

I've come across an antique, over 100 year old revolver, a Webley specifically. The price seemed right at first glance but opening it up I notice one of the six chambers looks like it has narrowed, as if either the sides had been stretched outward horizontally or it had been squished vertically...

It's big and ugly. The shotgun doesn't always fire. The lever cranks the wrong way and chews at the side of the barrel. It takes a thumb as strong as most arms to cock and even the trigger tries to eat a piece of your finger if you're not careful. We love them anyway. Our membership may not be...

Saw a Webley Mark VI at a gun show today. I've been looking for one, any one, for a while now so I got excited until I tried it out. The whole thing felt shaky and loose, including the hinge holding it shut, like the barrel would tip forward and back ever so minutely. The cylinder had a...

So in my university engineering course the class has been divided up into teams and each will design a 8" by 8", less than 1.5" square panel of lightweight composite using a variety of provided materials and whatever materials the class can think up. The finished product will be graded based on...

I recently purchased a NIB SIG P229 in .40 caliber for my brother and he's shot it about 150 or so times before telling me that he thought that it shot low. Not only this, but as I look at it, it looks like the business end of the barrel isn't perfectly centered inside the hole that it looks out...

Supposedly by "accident" while cleaning gun. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/04/22/1145344306978.html?from=top5

Sometimes they DO make them like they used to. I've had this Colt for a while, but just picked up this nice "Performance Center Schofield Model of 2000." S&W apparently made a short run of these in 2000 in the original .45 S&W chambering. The Colt, chambered for .45 Colt, will feed...

I recently bought one of the new production SAAs, blued. I have been very pleased, and it has the best bluing on I think I've ever seen, which really makes me want to preserve it. I've only shot it a few times, but enough that its starting to gain a turn-line. I understand that this is natural...

I've recently been given a Dakota Arms 76 action and a Lilja stainless varmint barrel, given to me by a friend who bought them as a project and decided to pursue another. I'd like to have this barrel threaded, chambered, and bedded by a professional gunsmith. This is a really nice action, and...
