Some years ago I foolishly sold my Parker Hale 58 cal Enfield. How does the Pedersoli Enfield compare ? I know the Parker Hale would be generally better.

I never liked shooting this rifle because the safety tab which Was depressed by the closing of the lever, was so hard to depress that it interfered with trigger squeeze. I removed the butt stock and saw a screw which appeared to put a strain on a flat spring which put tension on the safety tab...

I have my Dad's M50 serial number 7544 (serial numbers started at 1000). I remember reading that early M50's would fire with the barrel removed, through the chamber extension. This was caught by the ATF and Winchester made appropiate changes to prevent this being done. Is my M50 one of these...

What are Winchester primers bringing at gun shows ?

A few years ago all the gun magazine covers and articles were flooded with news on this cartridge. Now I never read much about it. Personally, I never saw exactly where it fitted in, or was not overlapped by the .22 rimfires. I bought a CZ-452 American, shot it once and haven't looked at it...

I got my grandson a Mossberg 500C Bantam 2 barrel combination 20 gauge. Yesterday I sighted in the deer barrel. I rested the wooden forearm on a sand bag and upon firing normally, I noticed the action had fully opened, ejecting the fired hull. After repeating this several times I tried firing it...

Do I need to use magnum primers with deer loads for this rifle ? I'm loading Hornady 180 gn XTP's with 2400 and W296 powder. Also, what are good deer loads using these powders ?

Any recent news on NBC getting back to normal on delivery and quality ? I would like to keep them as a bullet supplier.

How can I send a shotgun to my Grandson ? Can I use USPS ?

The August 2006 issue of American Rifleman has an article on post-WWII Garands. On page 83 it states "The highest M1 serial number reported in government documents is 6,090,905." I purchased a spanking new M1 NM at the National Matches at Port Clinton, Ohio in 1965 for $148. The serial number is...

Bought a Colt 1903 32 type IV made in 1927. The gun is mint and I just noticed on the bottom of the grip frame there is stamped in very small letters : DEAC. AMHERST NH. Thought was interesting. Doubt if I'll ever know much about it.

Why are these pistols seldom seen for sale and springs, etc. are also very hard to find ? I have a like new one imported by Interarms some years ago and I need extractor, magazine and slide stop springs. Would magazine springs for Colt 1903, Mustang, etc. possibly fit after proper length...

USRA is discontinuing the manfacture of the Winchester model 70, model 94 rifles and 1300 pump shotguns. I can't believe it. These guns were the cornerstone of the company. Looks to me that they must be in financial trouble. The parent European company that owns Browning and USRA made the decision.

I rented a 14mm X 1 LH Die threading set so I could install a slant brake on my SAR-1. The threading went fine but the die was beveled on both sides so I could not thread up to the Front Sight Base. I ordered a die from Brownell's and it is beveled on both sides also. Why are dies beveled on...

I have my Dad's model 50 shotgun serial nbr 75XX that was mfd in 1954. Were there inherent design problems and/or fragile parts in this gun ? It is in mint condition and I hesitate to shoot it much.

My pair of Colt derringers were purchased around 1959-60 and have blue barrels, gold frames and wood grips. They come in a red leatherette case with Colt logo on front. The ATF lists the "Lord and Lady Derringer pair" as C & R items. Are my derringers C & R also ?

Were the Blue and Gray boxes of the 60's and 70's related to specific dates of changed color or was it the finish - i.e. - Gray for nickel finish and Blue for blue finish ?

Was given a case of these shells. They are 20 ga. 2 3/4 #8 competition and field loads and are made in Minnesota. Someone told me they are "promotional" line shells made by Federal. Has anyone had experience with these ?
