Don't really see a sub forum for this topic, so I figure it might fit in here. I know zip about these things. Lot of friends have them, every one different. Reviews and catalogs are total information overload for someone as clueless as me. After a lot of wasted time searching I came up with a...

I have a nickle plated S&W 29 with some bad scratches on the frame. I figure possibly from where a rivet or something in a holster rubbed for some time. I buffed them downs about as much as I think I dare with a felt pad and white rouge, now I'm trying to figure out what compound to try to...

Anyone know what the grip panels were made of on the pre '71 models? The original frame. They're wood and look like ebony, but I haven't been around that stuff for years and can't really tell. Maybe some other black very hard wood?

Anybody remember when the last of those was made? I had a computer crash and don't know where it was I used to go to check S&W SN's anymore.

I've had this for about 50 years, it originally belonged to an old friend who had it possibly from WWII or so, I don't remember. If there were any makers marks on it, they've long faded away. Maybe some of you guys who collect holsters may recognize the embossing on the strap covering the...

Might be a few old timers here who know about this old company. They made hundreds of styles of aftermarket grips from the 40s into the 60s. The material they used was an early plastic. I found some references that the stuff was similar to Tenite, I tried some repairs to that stuff back when I...

Anyone know offhand what the main identifying features are to tell the two apart?

any of you still sort of wonder what the media thinks of gun owners in general and the NRA in particular. http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/06/opinion/waldman-nra-conference/index.html?hpt=hp_t4 Whew! Hard core rot and yellow journalism.

Bloomberg and his cronies are now attacking the remaining free states! :fire: http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/wyoming/gun-control-advocates-take-aim-at-wyoming-laws/article_655ba74f-be80-5fab-adef-c5faf1b84040.html

I just laid out 1300 bucks for a new Smith, before it even got dusty a malfunction required it go back for warranty repairs. Well, OK, the job was done the day after it was received. And they tell me it could be another 2 to 3 weeks!!!! before it gets out of their shipping department. Too...

Dealer not far from me got a few in so I'm going to get one. Big chunk of change on my pension, but I'd been thinking about one for quite a while. Hmm, now gotta get a set of dies, and start looking for a supply of brass :D

Just what's happening to make this occur? Is a shock wave in front of a high velocity bullet some how flipping the paper up before the bullet strikes or what? I've seen it, but never figured why.

Any of you knife guys know what steel was used for the old Schrade+Steel blade? I just dug out a 296Y Yellow Trapper I bought years ago. Never liked it because it was always so hard to hone to a good edge compared to the old fashioned carbon steel blades I always liked.

We see a lot on primers here. Lot of stuff gets tossed around when supplies drop. All sorts of ideas about how to keep a supply. I got to wondering how people here generally buy theirs.

Anybody know where there might be some illustrated parts lists for the Contenders, G2's, etc. ?

Anyone here ever used this little handgun scope? Seems to be the strangest scope I've ever run across for getting the eye piece adjusted for a good sight picture.

It's been years since I've bought a new scope, couple decades probably. And never a new one for a handgun. I know there are a lot of readers on this forum who try different scopes faster than I even think about another caliber to get. So, how are the Weavers now? They have what looks like a...

As a general rule, which is kinda stretching it. If you got a chamber plus bullet and case that will allow allow it, just how advantageous is it to have the bullet kiss the lands? Single shot barrel, no concerns about magazines, etc.

As the title says, anybody like that wildcat?
