I'm usually good at identifying magazines but these two have me puzzled. The rifle one is marked E on right side other than that no markings. 30-06 ammo does not fit that well it is ok in length though so I'm thinking it is a magnum caliber like .300 Win mag. It does not look like a Remington...

I go to a local gun show that comes to town a few times a year. There is a dealer there that has been trying to sell a Chinese SKS with "extras" since I was about 14-15 (I'm in my early 30's) The gun costs $1000, it appears to be a standard Chinese SKS, not a bringback. Not sure what the...

I bought a box of 8mm Lebel today because the price was right and I figure I'll get a rifle so chambered eventually. This is a tough calber to find. Anyone else do this? I do it with grips and magazines such also if the price is right and a model I plan on getting one day. I bought a case...

I have 30 firearms chambered in .22lr, is that excessive?:) I think the most in a centerfire caliber is 9x19 at 20. Also I have a .22mag convertible cylinder revolver with a cylinder in .22lr. I think there are people on rimfirecentral that have way more .22lr's though.

I was going thru my collection recently, I was surprised to note I have guns in 51 unique chamberings! That doesn't mean either as an example that since I have a .44mag I also count I have a gun in .44spl and .44Russian though I do have guns chambered in .44spl and guns in .44mag. The...

I have one that says "patent applied for" on the gun and the serial number is very low, like 1734 IIRC and has no letter prefix like my 1941 version which starts with a B. The barrel profile is smaller and thinner on this model than on the 1941 model and the cylinder removal latch is...

Anyone have any good examples? I don't mean so much like the HK blooper with the backwards loaded magazine(I've actually see this happen at indoor ranges!) What I mean is things like this. In my 2007 Glock annual/catalog, every time the word "Glock" is written in an article, it is...

I know, I know, beating a dead horse! I Hope I don't see a bunch of arguing and political stuff here. I'm just curious on the percentages of who will own one and who wont. I am a huge S&W DA revolver fan but I can't bring myself to own one with the lock though I own other guns with them such...

I'm torn between what loads are best for these guns. In guns that can take +P pressures I'm partial to the Remington version of the FBI load since it has softer lead than the other makers it seems. More likely to expand I'd think. I'm thinking of the Gold Dots for shorter barrels though...

pls delete/please post in my poll.

I don't see too much info on these or see them for sale much. Anyone have one? One maker that did them I know was FIE who marketed the Brute. It was with a cut down stock and short barrels just over the legal limit. I don't have a camera but this one subject is going to have to make me get...

Anyone ever come across that? I do quite a bit as I live in a no more than 10rd state so sometimes the gunshops just put gramps old Browning High Power that granny or the kids brings in after he passes in the consignment/used case w/o the mag. But I also see this sometimes with guns like a...

I'm sure many here have sold or traded guns for other guns. But how about barter? I once was going to buy a used car and part of the payment was going to be a circa 1952 S&W pre model 10 6". I once traded a Bulgarian commercial Makarov and a TV for a medium sized Cannon gun safe. Someone...

I've been wanting a 38super and I can't find a Colt locally so I picked this one up. NIB in blue for $359, how did I do? The idea of a DA 38super seemed neat too, I didn't want the EAA CZ clone and the Sig Sauer 220 in this caliber is hard to find and expensive. Don't even get me started...

Can anyone think of a pistol chambered in 38super that is not also offered by the factory in 45acp? I read once that is the reason 38super is not more popular in the USA. When I think about it, every 38super pistol I can think of is also chambered in a 45acp version. AMT backup, EAA...

What do you all think, I have a nice one but have not worked up courage to shave with it yet. Would it be legal to carry as all it really is is a non locking folding knife I would think if those are legal in ones area. I thought they may be the ticket for being at least minimally armed in...

Has anyone here ever fired or owned one of these guns? I know they are illegal for hunting in the USA but I always found them interesting. Is the recoil much worse than a 12 gauge? Is ammo a huge problem or a reloading only type proposition?

Though I'd amuse you all with this tale and seek any comments/concerns/criticizms. I have lamented in my area of CA there has not been a "buyback" as of late. I have as most people who are really into guns some real trash that is not worth repairing or salvaging. The last buyback though...

Managed to get a Star PD, older Garcia import with wood grips, hope to find Pachmayrs to tame recoil and because the wood looks cheap! $200 in about 96% condition, what do you think? I usually don't like compact 45autos but for the price and because I know my dad has wanted one for since...

Any of you ever have been to a gun auction? I had the pleasure of attending my first, held at a local American Legion Hall. Had to fight traffic and rain but thankfully they postponed the start so I could preview some stuff. About 95% guns, a welcome change from gunshows and beanie babies...
