    Pre-18 takedown?

    I recently bought a 95% 4 screw S&W Pre-18 in .22LR off gunbroker. I took out the three obvious screws in the sideplate but couldn't get the plate off. I didn't want to reef on it, so I put it back together and came to get some advice. Is there some trick or some good way to apply force...

    Colt Trooper Mk III or Smith K22?

    Greetings! I found a Trooper Mk III (in .22LR) locally, and of course there are plenty of various vintage K-22's on Gunbroker. A friend has a K22 and I've always enjoyed it, but I like the idea of a gun built for .357 being 'downchambered' for .22LR. Can anyone that has experience with both...

    MI - FFL's responsibility to state law.

    Flawless first outing: Kahr PM9

    I put 200 rounds of WWB and ~40 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P through my new PM9 yesterday. This was a NIB gun I got from Bud's with an IA-prefix serial number. There are plenty of reports of PM9s not working right out of the box. I took the time to clean and relube mine before firing...

    Hey, where's Bud?!

    Bought a PM9 from Bud's Gun Shop, and it's supposed to ship today.... I tried to log in to check the status, and I get ubiquitous 404's. Anyone got the skinny? :confused:

    Several FAL questions...

    I'm considering the purchase of a DSA FAL in the near future and have some questions. Regarding the barrel treatments available, I read things in this and other forums that seem to imply that flash hiders are better than muzzle breaks but I like the look of nothing best. I don't have enough...

    Pump gun technique question: foregrip 'pull'

    I have a question on appropriate pump shotgun technique- how do you pull the gun into your shoulder pocket? On non-pump guns I pull with both hands. With a pump gun though the non-trigger hand is also the shucking hand- if I'm pulling my 870 in with that hand and fire then the action...

    Indexing Tritium Shotgun Bead?

    Recently I bought this tritium bead for my 870 barrel, which I had shortened and drilled/tapped to accept it. I've not yet had a go at installing it but am wondering if there are any tricks to getting it indexed correctly- the axis of the bead needs to match the axis of the shot. Thanks for...

    870 Extractor plunger jammed.

    Today when removing the extractor from my 870 bolt I got the plunger jammed in the hole. It wasn't flush to start with, so I tried to free it with small needle nose pliers and a hemostat but couldn't get a grip. Figured I'd have a go at drilling it out so I drove it in as deep as I could to...

    870 shell latch unstaked; how to fix?

    I just bought a police trade-in Wingmaster 870TB and when I took the trigger group out for a spray clean I discovered that the left 'shell latch' was no longer staked in. Any hints on how best to fasten it back down? After cutting my fingers a sufficient number of times I was able to...

    OC: stream vs. cone/inside vs. outside

    Pepper spray: stream vs. cone/inside vs. outside My GF just moved into a neighborhood that has a vibe a little less safe than I'd like. She's got an upper flat, and her porch lights don't work. At my suggestion, she ordered up some Fox OC, and surprisingly, went one better than I'd hoped and...
