This thread only proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love my Astra 600's spacey looks and love shooting it, but I'm not one to try to put 100 rounds at a session through any one gun I own. I'll take three of four along and spread out the wear and tear. Especially with my...

Thanks, RC. I guess that's my best bet. I'll see if Bob has the hammer stop for the 32, maybe it'll fit the 22. Otherwise I'll try cutting a bit down. Good idea.

I picked up an old Higgins Model 85 22lr semi. It is missing the HAMMER STOP which appears to be a 5mm x 16mm steel pin, based on the hole it fits in. But I don't know if it's a plain cylindrical pin or maybe has a groove or something? I know some of you have this gun but it's a long shot...

'I don't need a gun' bothers you that much? I think you're a little too sensitive. I have close friends who hate guns but they don't bug me about my collection and I don't push my politics on them. To each his own. It's a different story with the anti-gun nanny staters of course. They...

The Sig SP2022. Extremely reliable, comfortable to shoot, readily available inexpensive mags.

I too own a P64 and it's a nifty little gun but I wouldn't trust mine for carry. Sometimes it shoots all day, other times it flakes out. No matter how much "forensic" testing I give it, the reasons for its failures are a mystery. And be aware that the P-32 also has a history of cracked...

I own a CZ-82, a P-64 and a FEG 9mm Mak. I'm not particularly recoil sensitive, but am aware of guns that have snappier recoil. I don't find the FEG harsh at all. It has less felt recoil than a stainless Walther PPK .380 I recently shot. I already owned a similar FEG in .32acp and I think...

Thanks, flashcube. I've heard it might be a bulged barrel. I'll keep trying to get it open.

Hi. I recently acquired an Astra 3000 in an auction. It's in beautiful shape cosmetically, but I can't get the slide open. I've soaked it overnight in Kroil but it still won't budge. I've had some amateur success fixing minor problems on other guns but don't want to ruin this gun by doing...

Your gun looks like new. I'd bet you'd get top dollar for it. It's a very desirable model. Rarer than the 400 and 600, but shoots readily available ammo. Made in 1945, it probably was one of the batch that the Nazis ordered but never received because the war ended. I have a 600 and it's a great...

I started collecting C&R about seven months ago and have somehow amassed nearly 2 dozen on a pretty modest budget. IMHO the best bargains are: 1) CZ-82 (prices are rising but a few can still be had at bargain prices; reliable, fun, accurate, easy to maintain, CHEAP MAGAZINES--something you...

If you want a reliable bargain 9mm there are Beretta 951 aka 1951 models out there. Great shooting all-steel military and police pistols. Grandaddy of the Beretta 92 series. A little heavy at 31 oz but that keeps the recoil down so they're fun to shoot. Long 4.5 barrel for accuracy. Beretta...

Lucky devil.

I tried removing the button but it didn't help. Luckily it fit my second gun.

That's a nice collection of mags and a nice looking gun. I'll take some pics of my two soon. Did you find a source for the magazines or get them with the gun?

Update: It is a Beretta 948 mag I loved my Beretta 948 so much I actually stretched my budget to buy a second one, and was pleasantly surprised to find the magazine fit it perfectly. Apparently there were two versions of the 948. This fit the earlier (1952) version, while the 1957 version I...

In some cases it is hard to determine whether a gun qualifies, such as a model that was made in the 50s and for decades afterwards, and isn't marked with a date code or listed in the very incomplete C&R lists published by the ATF. But all guns that are 50 years old or older are automatically C&R...

I'll bet the same FFL dealers who won't honor C&R licenses are the first ones to scream if the government tries to levy a tax or impose any restrictions which affect them. Not only does it add a minimum of $40 to any purchase to have to go through a standard "phone call" check via an FFL in my...

I will add a very sincere vote for the CZ 82. I own a bunch of handguns, mostly C&R. Ruger, Berettas, new SIG Sauer, P-64, Colt 38 Army spl, original Whitney Wolverine, Magnum Research 22. The CZ-82 is the best deal out there in a semi. It is built to last and to function impeccably, and my...

Thanks USP9. I'll check that out. Hopefully you're right and I can end my search. UPDATE: You might be right. It looks like a Triple K Walther PP mag! LATEST UPDATE: Walther expert says no. I've also found pics of Triple K mags for the Beretta 948 with the button on the right. Now I have to...
