I have a brick of Fiocchi primers that are marked “Small 0.45 SL”. Are they small rifle or small pistol?The Fiocchi web site is no help.

Just got an ad from Brownells advertising a new, US made Remington 870. Who is making this shotgun? I wasn’t aware that the shotgun line had been picked up by anyone.

I am pulling my hair out over a 06 pump rifle. The problem is the latch that keeps the carrier down until the action is opened. I have two hammers, two triggers and three carriers and cannot make it work with any combination of parts. The top of the trigger that should engage the carrier to hold...

I have ended up with a quantity of 6.5 CM small primer brass. I find no loading data specifically for small primers. Any difference in loads?

I’m working on a M-41, mid-70’s manufacture, that fails to fire most of the time. I am in the middle of troubleshooting and thought I’d solicit some advice. Apparently the hammer is dropping to half cock rather than all the way when fully assembled. With the slide off, the hammer drops properly...

I picked up a batch of once fired 9mm brass last week and started loading it today. It is range brass, mixed head stamps. I noticed that some of the commercial Winchester brass has crimped primers while some of the Winchester GI brass, WCC 03 (NATO cross) does not. I was really surprised to find...

I have not been able to access Brownells web site for the last two days. Any one else had the same experience?

Is anyone loading 147 gr. bullets in 9mm using Bullseye powder? I am currently using Unique but have scads of Bullseye and would like to utilize it.

A customer has a Charles Daly semi auto 12 ga with a missing operating handle. It is one of the KBI guns made in Turkey. There don't seem to be any parts available. If anyone has one of these shotguns, could you please take some pictures of the operating handle so I can attempt to make one?

In late May, I ordered some night sights from Brownells. I normally get my merchandise in one week but Memorial Day was in the mix so I didn't start fretting for a few days past one week. The tracking showed the package was delivered by UPS to the local Post Office then "out for delivery". I...

I found this proof mark on a Winchester M-92, 44-40 that dates from the teens. The mak was repeated on the receiver, barrel, and the bolt. From limited research, the only thing that looks similar but not exact, is the London Proofhouse. Any help from the experts? Thanks.

There is a thread in this forum concerning registering a gun obtained in a private sale. From the comments in the thread, there are a number of people on THR who are not aware of what happens after the forms are filled out at your LGS. The transfer form, 4473, goes into the dealers file where it...

Just a FYI for you who love in hot climates. I had fairly recent M-70 come in for a little work that required the action out of the stock. It was so tight it took two of us to break it loose. I asked the owner if it had been glassed and maybe no release agent used? Owner said it had never...

I have a Winchester 1876 in for repair. Needs a new sear. I have done an internet search and have not turned up many 1876 parts at all. Question, would an 1873 sear fit this rifle? Not many of them available either but the chances would be better of finding one than an 1876 part. Anyone...

I have been trying to call in for NICS background checks for a couple of hours. After they answer and I punch 1, it disconnects me. Anyone else experiencing this?

Another smith I work with has mentioned bringing me a 94 30-30 to pull the barrel on. As I have not seen the rifle, I can only assume its age as being fairly recent but not Japanese. Question. Another smith in town told him he could not pull the barrel since that vintage rifle has a pressed in...

Can anyone give me the address to write for a Colt factory letter? Is the cost still $200?

Had to pull the barrel on a DPMS today, one of the uppers with no dust cover. Anyway, my Brownells upper vise does not fit these receivers properly. Some smiths have reported that they use a barrel vise rather than a receiver vise so I tried it. Bad idea! Instead of loosening the barrel nut, it...

Had a Colt Double Action Army come in for repair. First one I have seen in person. What can you experts tell me about it? It is 45 Colt, no markings except serial on butt, US on right above trigger, and RAC on trigger guard and frame. The trigger is extremely long and trigger guard is...

Has anyone used Frontier plated .224 55 gr bullets? The price is very attractive but I am wondering how they work in quick twist AR barrels. I can live with less than stellar accuracy if they stay together to the target. I have used their pistol bullets and am pleased with them.
