I recently acquired what I believe to be a Mannlicher Schoenauer but I'm trying to figure out how old it might be and if anyone had any ideas about what scope rings might work with the mounts. Anyone have any guesses? Given that it seems to have some of the hallmarks of an earlier M-S but has...

I don't have much experience with the M2 machine gun but we recently found an M2 .50 cal machine gun barrel in grandpa's barn (he thought it was a truck axle and was about to scrap it). I'm trying to figure out what might be the best way to go about selling it (I doubt I'll ever be able to...

I recently purchased a 1903 sporter rifle that is chambered in some 375 Mag. Initially the rifle was sold as being chambered in 375 H&H Magnum (which was a fair assumption given the rifle's age) but I tried to run some 375 H&H Mag snap caps through the rifle, but had trouble fully closing the...

I recently bought a sporterized Rock Island 1903 rifle that has been rechambered in 375 H&H Magnum. The rifle currently as a Williams peep sight on the rear but the receiver has also been drilled and tapped for scope mounts in the past. I'm a big fan of the rear peep sight but I've also been...

I have two British WW1 revolvers that I would like to find holsters for (preferably full flap holsters). The first is a Webley Mark IV with a 4" barrel in 455 Webley. I've seen a lot of reproduction Webley hoslters available but I suspect they're mostly intended for the more numerous Mark...

I recently bought a pretty well used Winchester 94 in 32 WS (it was made in about 1959-60). I'm having a problem with the loading gate and carrier. When I go to load a round, it's clear that the loading gate is hitting the carrier and thus not opening fully. I took the whole thing down and...

I recently bought a S&W Hand Ejector/M&P/Pre-Model 10, 4th Change (so it's a 5 Screw K-Frame). It has a 5" barrel and I've been looking for a holster for it. I was wondering if you all had any advice you might be able to give me. I'm almost leaning towards 2 holsters and I'm leaning towards...

I was wondering, how many of you guys make your own blackpowder? It seems like you could certainly save some money over buying it premade or is that a misconception? I'm curious how one would go around sorting the powder into correct size, or do you just load it up with a mix? I'm mostly...

I recently purchased a Martini-Henry Mk IV from IMA and I was very happy with the condition of the rifle. I will be shooting this rifle as soon as I finish making the brass for it. Here's a picture: I started to do research on the various markings on the rifle (boy did British love to...

I have a S&W Safety Hammerless and I really like that little revolver. I was wondering if anyone knew a source for a leather flap holster for that gun. I figure they must be fairly rare since I don't think many people use their Safety Hammerless guns anymore. I'd like to be able to carry the...

Does anyone know of a good source for brass or an online venue that would allow you to trade brass with others? I recently sold off several guns so I've got quite a bit of 9mm, .45acp and some 5.56, .30-06 and 7.62x38r and I've been looking high and low for .45/70. It'd be nice if I could off...

I recently bought an Egyptian Remington rolling block rifle. For whatever reason the rifle is missing it's front sight and has what appears to be a shallow 1/2" or 5/16" dovetail slot cut into it. Does anyone know of a replacement front sight I can fit into this slot? If necessary, I can try...

Any of you guys reload .43 Egyptian with blackpowder? Does anyone know if Lee makes a .43 Egyptian die set? If not, what do you guys use to load these up.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of selling off a number of my milsurps (buying older stuff instead) and I've reached the point where I'm putting my M1 Garand up on the market. I was hoping to get people's feedback on value so I can put it up for sale or a reasonable price. It has a SA receiver...

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for reloading .43 Egyptian with B/P (particularly what bullet seems to work best). I'm also curious for any insights anyone can give me about Egyptian Remington Rolling Blocks in general.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 1868 Egyptian Remington Rolling Block rifle in .43 Egyptian? I've been looking into them and was wondering if there's anything I should look for or avoid when purchasing.

I recently bought a Hakim rifle that I found in a local shop for $300. The rifle's in great shape except that it's missing the front barrel band/bayonet lug. I'm not worried about it as it's not necessary for the gun to function, but it would be nice to find something to put on there. Does...

I'm thinking about buying myself a Winchester 1886. I've been considering one of the new production Winchester 1886 Light Weights or the Pedersoli 1886/71. I was purely thinking of a real Winchester but I'm not a fan of the rebounding hammer and the other numerous lawyer added parts. I know...

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Cimarron Type II Richards conversion. I'm very happy with the pistol so far but I wanted to ask those of you who own one a few questions. I'm not sure if there is a problem or not. I've fired 50 rounds through this no problem. In the last day or so, I've...

I've started into the reloading game and I've starting by using a hand tool kit for .45 Colt. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys took any special steps to clean your brass after it's been loaded with B/P. IE, do you just stick it in a tumbler like one would with cases that had been loaded...
