An acquaintance asked for information on a gun they inherited, Smith and Wesson model 1700 LS Made in Japan #LS04543 .243 Can anyone give me info about date of Manufacture?

for those of you who might care I have essentially been homeless since October 2012, Recently my daughter and her husband bought a home and asked me to stay with them until I get Social Security claims straightened out. I have a laundry list of medical problems and haven't been able to find...

Which is better a converter to 9mm or a dedicated lower that only takes 9mm magazines? my thinking is this with a lower dedicated to 9mm mags only I have less points of failure from a wear and tear operational stand point. what do you think?

In a few months, by late July or the Middle of August I will be able to have my firearms in the same location I am living. Since Sept. of 2012 I have been having to store them with a trusted friend and live in Shelters or Housing for Veterans with PTSD and therefore no firearms. But I will be...

the dimensions of a .357 Magnum cartridge is 9x33 and a 30 Carbine is 7.62x33, So here is one of my questions could a .357 lever or pump action be re barreled to shoot .30 Carbine? Feeding the cartridge from the Mag tube would be the hang up. How tight do you think the tolerances for the mag...

It might not be gun related enough but I'm hoping the mods give this one some leeway. Only the perpetrator was armed. It appears some of us are raising our younger Generations in a positive manner and this story gives me hope. Two boys being boys checking out a girl and then they turn into...

Am I nuts or is this a good firearm for the Money?

What do people know about them? Would you consider one if you were in the Market for a 9mm carbine? What is a fair price?

I'm considering getting one of these handguns because I'm also considering a Marlin Camp 9. Are there any pitfalls other than I'm buying firearms no longer produced by the Manufacturer? Anyone have direct experience with the S&W's?

http://www.wimp.com/veteransniper/ It's a WWII sniper being honored by a group of Modern Snipers it's a cool video.

So I don't remember the thread exactly, and searching for it has proven frustrating at best. So here is my question Can I take a surplus barrel chambered for 303 British and trim the chamber down to shoot 7.62x39? the Bullet diameter on the barrel is correct but I think I would have to recut...

Here's a Fail if I ever saw one but not because it doesn't work http://www.smilestud.com:8080/assets/uploads/original//1352917679.jpg

Let's see those deer tags full and pics to share. I'm not able to get out this season and need my fix vicariously through the rest of you....

I get tired of the Caliber wars, and although I have an opinion I feel I also have some practical application thoughts too. First my opinion, the 9mm parabelum/luger is a good SD/HD or Carry round. It has fair impact power It is a relatively easy recoil round It is relatively inexpensive if...

So someone I know saw pics of the .410 in my other thread and emailed me. She said her son took apart a gun to "Clean" it and never got it back together and she basically has a "Bag o Gun" We are both single so there is some ulterior motive for telling her to bring it over, but man why would...

So the take down bolt for my .410 got lost in the distant past and my father a machinist did a weird thing for him he did a hap hazard job replacing it. Today some 40 years after I purchased the gun and easily 30 after my dad "fixed" it I learned to reshape a bolt head with a drill press files...

Would you pay $200.00 for this Rifle?, Ishapore 2A 7.62x51 It has been rehabed painted and the stock was stripped and refinished with TruOil Not test fired since the work was done but the bolt was not stripped down, and should be head spaced correctly.

I stashed some empty .308 brass somewhere to make go / no go gauges and for other various purposes. Well I'm painting a .308 barrel and was going to put an empty piece of Brass into the chamber to protect it. Think I can remember where I stashed that Brass? Not to save my life at the moment...

So I might be asking questions that are at least annoying and at worst just plain obvious if I thought about it more. I am aware that creating rounds with excess chamber pressure is not advised let alone safe. Can you under load? ie use .44 Mag cases and load them to .44 special...
