As I read about the new 327 mag. in one of the gun rags this past weekend, I was interested and made a call this morning to Ruger for the exact same reason as the OP; to inquire about getting a .327 cylinder for a 32 H&R SP101. I was only on hold about 2 minutes and the CS rep. politely...

Thanks, guys. Was 1971 the only year they were produced? any collectors' interest in them?

Hey guys, I need some info on a double barrel shotgun and hope y'all can help. the gun in question is a 12 gauge side by side, single trigger. it is marked "interarms, alexandria, va" and "star gauge". the barrels are made by aramberri in spain. This shotgun has belonged to a family...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about putting a Lyman 66MC sight on a Marlin 39A. It's a current production 39, already tapped on top of the receiver for scope rail. I don't like the semi-buckhorn rear sight and do like the Lyman sight (I have used them on other rifles). Anyway, the other Lyman...

agree with sentiments above..........very glad to have both, and thankful to Oleg, Rich, and all others dedicated and willing to make both THR and TFL succeed. I discovered and joined TFL only a few months before it closed in '02. Joined THR within a day or two after Oleg and others...

Thanks for your replies, guys....I've been eyeballing a nice used BPS in a gun shop I visit regularly. It's mid-90s production with engraved receiver, 3 chokes, deep blue, and nice wood; overall condition around 85-90%. Price is $300. New ones in that shop start at over $450. The used price...

had a chance to detail strip a Browning BPS the other day for cleaning. It was about ten years old and didn't appear to have been completely disassembled for cleaning since new. After reading some of the accounts here about how difficult they can be, I expected to finish the job with a...

Agree with Dave on more bangs for buck......I load 12 and 20 ga. AA or STS quality shells for about 60% of lowest store price around here. If I loaded a higher volume, enough to justify bulk component purchases, I could lower my cost even more. Right now, I buy powder in the 1-pound...

correct......about the S&W model 33-1 that was discussed Wednesday and Thursday not being .38 special. It was indeed a .38 S&W. Still looked nice, though. I had a chance to go the shop today and took another look. Also looked at a model 36, sn J327XX 3" .38 special in good shape. Had...

Thanks, Mike Next chance I get I'll go take a closer look. I know it was a J-frame, marked 33-1 and has a 4" barrel, and I'm almost certain it's 38 special. might be a hidden gem waiting to be collected. The shop I saw it in is 45 miles out of my way home from work - - got to think up...

the 33 mentioned above was marked 33-1. I didn't make that distinction earlier since I figured the -1 was due to minor changes, not a change from the I- to J-frame. The revolver was quite nice, with original box. I'm pretty sure it was marked ".38 S&W Special Ctg" Wish I could remember the...

saw a NIB model 33 today, 4" .38 spcl -- looked absolutely pristine. don't remember the serial number though. dealer wanted $400. would possibly go for $375. Seems a bit high. what do you guys think? I read somewhere that model 33s were discontinued in the early '70s. Also saw a 36, 3"...

Hey ya'll, Working on my Christmas wish list and am interested in getting a new turkey choke tube to be ready for next spring. Need remchoke and will be limited to 3" loads. Any recommendations? (Hastings, Briley, etc., ported or non-ported?) Thanks

Springfield Armory M1A - - why are TRW parts more desireable than others? looked at 2 nib m1a s recently. both standard gi spec w/ gi wood stock. one had TRW bbl, other was marked something else (probably SA?). both had SA bolts. does springfield inc. make barrels now, or are they still...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate your responses.

I've found a pump shotgun that I've never seen before and would like your opinion ( as well as anyone else who has knowledge of this shotgun). I believe it was a Savage or Stevens model 67 or 87, can't remember for sure. It was a police shotgun - - nothing fancy but hardwood furniture and...

Thanks for all your responses. I already have autos and bolts - - a lever will be added to the collection simply because I like it. looked at the henry, but wasn't particularly impressed with the painted receiver and plastic barrel band, although the action was smooooth. I like the look and...

I'm interested in a lever-action 22lr for plinking or small game hunting and have done a little research. Seems the best ones are Marlin, Winchester or Browning. Having handled a Browning and Winchester 9422, I like the Winchester better, but don't know much about the Marlins. From the looks...

Don't know what you all feed copperheads and cottonmouths in your respective states, but, here in the midlands of SC, every cottonmouth I've ever seen had a reeallly nasty disposition, and the copperheads are quite mild mannered. Get within ten feet of a cottonmouth, and it starts hissing and...

Never tried the Czech or Romanian trainers, but have the CZ 452 Scout. It is sswwweeeeet.. Fit and finish are great, all steel and walnut, except the magazine, and all-metal magazines are available, too. Little gun is extremely accurate and is sized quite nicely for youngsters. A dummy...
