    I know C96 Mausers, Some models of Luger, and some models of Browning Hi-Power. What / were any other common C&R eligible pistols made with original factory but stocks? I realize there were some other antique pistols like the Fiala that came in kits with stocks. I'm not really interested in...

    Hey guys, sorry for the weird topic, but I've been trying to hash this out on some other forums, and I'm unable to find the information I need. Wikipedia says that the German army and Military police use the Remington 870, but I am unable to find any photos or further information about it. I...

    Im trying to replace the firing pin on my K.Kale Turk Mauser. I already have removed the pin assembly from the bolt. Easy... every video and tutorial i see says that to remove the pin, i just need to compress the spring by pushing down on the shroud, and turning the cocking piece 90 degrees...

    Anyone Tried the 'HC3R' Mag for the Ruger 1022?

    As seen here: https://hcmags.com/ $40 is steep for a mag I have never heard of, nor am able to find any articles or Youtube videos for. I'm curious if anyone here has ever seen or tried one - the ability to load via strip clips, and carry additional rounds in the side pocket seems...

    S&W hammer doesnt cock in DA

    Occasionally my new 'N' frame S&W doesn't cock the hammer when I'm shooting quickly in double action. It seems like the trigger is short stroking - the cylinder turns, but the hammer doesn't cock. I only have about 300 rounds through the gun. Nothing looks worn, but I can't reproduce this...

    Sorry if this is the wrong place - I looked in the handloading forum and didn't see any black powder stuff. I would like to load some light 'cowboy' loads in my 12 gauge using Pyrodex 'P' (FFFG). The load I have in mind is 55gr by volume, fiber wad, 7/8 oz shot, and roll crimped. I have read...

    416 Rem recoil opinions?

    I realize that recoil is subjective, but I'm looking for opinions. I have been saving money for a medium bore rifle, for big game trips I will hopefully be taking in the future. i have settled on a Winchester Model 70 in 416 Remington. I just got back from the range, checking the zero on...

    Ever used rifled tubes in your SxS?

    I've got a decent SxS lined up for my next purchase and was wondering if it would do any good with rifled choke tubes. This gun would be a general purpose hunting weapon, for upland game, small game, and probably deer too. Basically I want to know if it is going to be worth getting the...

    10mm AMT magnum Contender?

    I'm looking to build a short range deer carbine that can utilize most of the reloading components I already have. I hand load for a 10mm and multiple 40 S&W pistols, AND my state require a minimum case length of 1.16".The 10mm magnum seems like the perfect round to meet the case length...

    WHY is it so hard to find a list of case capacities online?

    Its driving me crazy. I have several projects going, and I need info. I don't have a reloading manual (this does not involve loading any cartridges, no worries). But you would THINK that you would be able to find out what the case capacity of a certain cartridge is via a simple Google...

    38-40 bullet question

    According to old Chuck Hawks (:rolleyes:): ... Since the cast bullet diameter for the 38-40 is identical to modern 10mm handgun bullets (.401"), and the bullet weights are identical to modern 10mm handgun bullets, what's to stop you from loading .400" jacketed bullets intended for the 40 S&W...

    Local store has ZIGANA pistols in stock

    I did a search here, and it revealed some interesting information. They seemed to be well made to my eyes, and the few threads i managed to dig up, and the videos those threads included, sure make these things look like a steal for the money. They are $400 locally for the stainless model, and...

    I love the way these feel in my hands. capacity isn't an issue for me. I have two 9mms: a CZ-75 and a Glock 17. There are a little big for concealed carry. I have done it successfully with both, but im in the market for something smaller and lighter. i don't NEED a pocket gun, and i cant seem...

    Just picked up a NIB Beretta 8040

    Its the DAO model, with Trijicon night sites. I like the feel of the grip, and the heft of metal over plastic. I will post a range report when i get to shoot it. :)
