Recently, I've managed to obtain what looks like a 54-bore 1859 Webley revolver which seems in good enough order to still be used for shooting. But, at some point it would appear to have been polished up and re-blued such that any markings that might have been on the frame have been removed. All...

I've got a Walker reproduction which appears to be an Armi San Marco model made in 1971. The cylinder has a bit of play back and forth, which could presumably be fixed with a shim, but there's another problem as well: The chamber mouths appear to be worn such that they have become slightly...

Hopefully this is the right forum to post this question - apologies if not. Anyway, I am interested in acquiring one of these: http://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=694_777_778_789&products_id=7265 But, I have been wondering whether it is a reproduction of a weapon...

Here's a modern reproduction of an 18th century Scottish pistol: http://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=694_864_867_868&products_id=6763 I think this looks rather nice and would quite like to add one to my collection, but the quality is unclear. Has anyone used one of...

Anyone seeing the title of this post will probably think that the best thing to do with a Remington Viper is to sell it and buy a Ruger 10/22. Unfortunately that's not an option at present; all I can do for now is try to get the Viper to work. At least it was cheap. I've tried two different...

I'll be visiting Baltimore in a few days and wonder if anyone has any recommendations of good gun shops to visit near the centre. I won't be able to purchase any firearms or ammunition (transporting either home would be rather problematic) but could pick up accessories such as holsters &c. I...

I've recently obtained a nice Lebel made in 1898 (see here) and have found that I can't get ready-made ammunition in the UK as Prvi won't import it unless "several thousand rounds" are ordered. This is both prohibitively expensive and more than the police will let me buy or possess. Luckily...

I've got a French 1886/M93 rifle (Lebel) which I have not been able to load due to a shortage of ammunition. A couple of days ago I obtained some wooden training rounds and de-activated rounds for display and thought I would try the former out in the gun. Although the training rounds fit...

I've managed to obtain a French 1886 M93 rifle which is currently sitting with the RFD for collection at the end of the week. Apparently it's never been modified for the Balle N which was used from 1932 onwards and required a modification of the chamber and striker, according to this source...

I joined this forum very recently after having purchased a second-hand ASM Walker, hopefully to be able to research information on loads &c. One post I noticed mentioned the cylinder gap having been extended by using large charges...
