I have a new Ruger Hawkeye in .257 Roberts that does not extract cartridges when the bolt is pulled. Ruger's service department sent me a replacement extractor and collar ring, but the problem remains the same after switching out the parts. I've used factory-loaded Hornady ammunition and...

I see the .221 Fireball listed as an option for the CZ 527 at the cz-usa.com site. What is the velocity of this round from a rifle, and how is the accuracy from this particular model? I know/own CZ rifles and am not asking for a reference for their product line. Thanks

I dislike the noise enhancing properties of the muzzle brake on my DSA StG 58. Should I replace it with one of the unvented fake flash suppressors; cut the muzzle brake and threaded section of the barrel off; or, sell it as is and buy a DSA without a muzzle brake? I figure any modifications to...

I am always trying to add to my library of gun references and would like some insight from other students in this forum. Often times it is hard to find reviews on potential purchases, much less have an opportunity to even glance at a table of contents or index prior to ordering them. What is...

I am looking for a magazine spring for a medium-length action Sako Forester. Any recommendations on where to look are appreciated.

Has anyone taken a look throught the recently published tenth edition of Cartridges of the World? I am especially interested in what has been updated since the 9th edition. Thanks

Will it be legal to attach a suppressor to the Beretta CX4, or will that be a violation of the law regarding flash hiders on "assault weapons"? I know that suppressors can be put on certain semi-autos with detachable magazines (e.g. Ruger 10/22). I suspect the answer to my question is "No,"...

Has anyone examined or shot one of Vector Arms' V93 rifles? The Vector Uzis are of great quality, but I haven't heard a thing about this model. I've read that Special Weapons, Inc. was making the receivers, information that has raised my concern. Thanks for any insight.

Anyone know the pistol involved here? I would guess it has a polymer frame and an ultra modern safe trigger such as found on some Austrian pistols and their Massachusetts imitators. However, I may wrong. Clearly, mishandling of the firearm is the culprit here. By BOB ANDERSON...

I see Century Arms International is selling 1911s with the brand name "Shooters Arms" manufactured in the Phillipines. Are these the same pistols that were sold under the Rock Island Armory name? Has anybody here had any experience with these pistols? They're very low in price.

Has anyone seen any of the ex-military Glock magazines from Norway now on the market? I wondered what general condition they are in. What would make a military force get rid of magazines that would not be a problem for me, the future user?

I just bought a Butler Creek Boot grip for my S&W Model 40. Though the grip is labelled for use on J-frames, it will not fit onto the revolver. The upper rounded cut out in the receiver is a good bit smaller than the portion of the grip to which it should mate. Was there a change in the...

I have a S&W Model 40 produced between 1971 and 1974 that wears a finish with the appearance of the electroless nickel found on some Colt Combat Commanders from around that time. It has a sort of brushed silver/gold look all over, including the grip safety. The only parts finished otherwise...

Changes to the original designs of handguns often seem for the worse, and the "improved" models usually have little appeal to me. For example: 1) The recurved trigger guard and checkered grips of the CZ-75 B greatly alter the appearance of the original CZ-75. The current model simply...
