My latest gun purchase was a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I that was built by Maltby in Britain in 1944. The odd thing about this rifle is that it’s marked “No. 4 Mk. I*”, like its cousins made by Savage in the US: Here you can clearly see that mechanically, the rifle is a Mk. I (no asterisk)...

I've got some nice Colt Python factory grips that I would like to sell. There's not much of a collectors' market for them here in Germany, so I would prefer to sell them on the American market. The question is: Is it legal to send them to a private person in the US without any license? I...

I'm going to participate in a match that includes some long(ish)-range shooting (200 and 475 m = 220 and 520 yards). I'll only get 5 sighting shots per distance, and I only have a 100 m (110 yards) range available to sight in my rifles before the match, so I'll have to do some maths. It would...

Looking trough some old milsurps at a local gun shop, I discovered a couple of Mosins in a corner. One that caught my eye was marked 1917 and had the Czar's crest on it. Looked great for its age, but the barrel was counter-bored. Another one was a Hungarian 91/30 made in 1952. It had all...

I would like to buy a target pistol in either .32 S&W Long WC or .38 Special WC. I've narrowed down my choice to the S&W 52 and the SIG Hämmerli P240. Which of both guns would you prefer? Price should be about the same, but it might be a little easier to get spare parts for the SIG here in...

I'm looking for a side mount with a weaver or picatinny rail for my Izhmash Tigr rifle. My top choice would be the BelOMO BP-02 (should be similar to the low-profile BP-02 mount sold by Kalinka in the US). Apparently, it sits extremely close to the receiver. Unfortunately, this might mean...

I've bought an M1 Carbine made by Saginaw which has the type 2 barrel band. I'm thinking about replacing the barrel band with a type 3 with bayonet lug. I prefer the look of the bayonet lug, and I'm going to remove the front sight anyway, so replacing the barrel band wouldn't mean a lot of...

My Dad recently purchased an Egyptian contract FN-49 in 8x57 IS which we both enjoy shooting. Before today's shooting session, we had fired around 150 rounds through it, mostly S&B 180 gr. FMJ. We carefully adjusted the gas system when he got the rifle, and we never had any problems with the...

A couple of months ago, I bought a handgun that has some light rust on its barrel, right on the face of the muzzle. Fortunately, there's no rust inside the bore. So far, I've kept the barrel well-oiled, and the rust hasn't spread any further. I guess it would be best to remove the rust, though...

I went to a local gunstore a few weeks ago to check out their revolvers. Among the used models, I found a 1972 Colt Python with 6" barrel in excellent condition. The gun looks like it has barely been fired. There was a Ruger GP-100 in a similarly good condition, but after I checked out the...

A couple of months ago, I bought an Archangel Sparta stock for my Mini-14. I noticed that there aren't many reviews on the Sparta stock out there, so I thought I'd share my experiences with you. (After typing the rest of this post, I saw that another user, johnnydollar, also got a Sparta stock...
