I've got a couple of S&W Model 60's and would like to convert one to DAO by bobbing the hammer and removing the SA sear. Does anyone premanufacture this type of hammer or am I on my own (or the gun plumber) for this mod? I am comfortable pulling side plates swapping rebound slide springs...

Gents and Ladies; I inherited my Grandfather's S&W 1917 from my Uncle when he passed. This revo will not win any beauty contests but it was Papaws. When I got it I discovered that it was not rolling up far enough for the cylinder to lock before the hammer would fall. I found a local gunsmith...

Well ladies and gents I am the proud owner of a AR15 specification built rifle which for $800 is alot more rifle than most of the premades. I have a 1/7 16" 4150 MP and pressure tested barrel and am currently mid way through the initial 500 round break in period with factory ammo. Being a 7"...

This past week I finally got my new (and First) AR assembled. I managed to get off of work a couple hours early and scurry about to find all of the range stuff. Just before I leave I toss out a "anyone want to go with me?", more out of courtesy than any real expectation of company. Much to my...

Well recently I won the first something in a long time. I won Taipei Personality's drawing for the book MOLON LABE, Well now it is my turn. Going through my reloading gear I found a brand new, unused Lee carbide Factory crimp die in 9mm. This is kind of ironic since I have never owned a 9...

Ladies and Gentlemen; I recently procurred a M65 with 4" bbl from Mark at summitgunbroker.com. He is a upstanding guy and based on my experience you can count on the condition of the pistol being better than his call. Now back to my topic. I intend to reload primaily 38 spcl equivalent...

:) Well guys and girls many of you read and even commented on the thread I started entitled "Gun Show Beef". The gist of that story is that I was frustrated at the lack of gun stuff at gun shows here in Tidewater and being treated rudely by a gun shop representative at the show. Well now...

Well went to the first gun show in about a year today at the Hampton Convention Center. Overall I was disappointed. Overall a lot fewer gun tables that I would like and a bunch of fooferaw that is not even firearms relate. Beef jerky, BBQ sauce, flags, electric stun batons, and general junk...

:banghead: : Guys Please help me figure out what is going on with my Dan Wesson Bob Tail Commander with an external extractor. It suddenly has gone south many failures to extract. Yesterday I was trying some new ammunition 5.3 Gr of W231 underneath a 200 grain Precision "black Bullet"...

A number of years ago I happened into a heck of a deal on a Colt .22 conversion kit for my 1911. I bought the conversion kit and moved it around on a couple of pistols. Now I'm getting the urge to build up a dedicated frame for the pistol and have a full time .22 1911. Any suggestions as to...

Ok Ladies and Gents: I have inherited my Granfather's/Uncles's 1917 S&W revelver. The barrel is ugly, probably too much corrosive primed ammo and not enough cleaning. The timing seems to be a touch out in that on a couple of cylinders the locking bolt does not lock before the hammer falls...

Well I got the New Year off to a good start and hit the range today after work. But what a mess I had when I got home. I had a couple hundred rounds of too hard a lead bullet at too low a velocity (200 gr LSWC @ 850 or so, BTW very little leading at 1000+ fps)leaving what could best be called...

Well Monday morning I picked up a new CZ Bobwhite in 28 Ga. This is my first purpose built small frame 28 ga shot gun. Shot a fair number of tubed or 4 barrel 12 ga over the years though. First the appearance, fairly nice figure on the butt stock and splinter foreend, finished in a low gloss...

Ok guys and girls. I'm trying to get set for the upcoming quail and woodcock season and I kind of have my heart set on a 28 Ga SXS. I would like a legitimate 28 gage frame. I've seen some ads and articles on the CZ Bobwhite and Ringnecks, and am wondering if any of ya'll have any first hand...

I got home from work this afternoon and tended a handull of honey dos like replacing a couple of damaged vinyl tiles on the kitchen floor and finish installing the new dish washer and the like. Well I got into the family room and executed a quick clean up and inventoried by 45 ACP ammo and...

My Christmas came a little late this year, but I'm pretending to be Greek Orthodox... I got a call from my local neighborhood gun shop saying that my Christmas present had arrived. What was the late Christmas present you ask??? :confused: It was a Dan Wesson Patriot Commander Bob Tail in 45...

I'm thinking about a project gun. The goal would be to take a Combat Commander, rough externally but sound mechanically, set it up with a set of Heinie Slant 8 NS, bobtail and hard chrome. The Heinies are easy, send Richard the slide tell him to cut the dovetails asnd install the Slant 8s, no...

Well folks tonight was a first for me. I open carried in a resturant that served alcohol. Here in VA we have a silly law that says that even with a CCW you cannot carry concealed in an establishment that sells alcoholic beverages for on premesis consumption. The whole story is that my wife...

This morning about 0545 I was taking the first of my twice a day mile and a halfs with my Brit. I walked out of the house, living in the burbs on 100' wide lots, and I hear the pair of Dobies, one of each tuning up nthree doors down. They are frequently chained to the garage door tracks by...

Well daylight savings time has rolled around again and it is "that time of year again". What do you mean my wife asked me? Well it is time to shoot up my carry ammo that has been rotated through my mags since last October and change the batteries in the smoke detector. This is about the only...
