With a little horse trading, I've ended up with a Saiga .410. I was wondering if the adjustable gas plug is a standard feature or not. I suppose I'll find out later tonight when I rip it apart, but if anyone can tell me beforehand I'd appreciate it.

Just brought it home, 99 made in 1950, chambered in .300 Savage. Solid frame, 24" bbl, and steel buttplate... Does anyone know what actual model it is? Thinking EG?

Well, did a little horse trading, ended up with 175 rounds of Winchester 250 grain .45 LC XTP JHPs, a decent rig for the Vaquero, and this thing. I know the old Spanish revolvers are almost universally considered crappola, but for sending some .38 wadcutters down range, I'm rather satisfied...

Does anyone happen to know the significance of P.N. above the Eibar admission proof? I have heard conjecture regarding black powder, but I find it odd that a .38 special would be BP proofed in 1929, but stranger things have happened. Barrel, frame, and cylinder have the earlier lion proof...

Well, that "Carry in the old west thread" has gotten me going. I suppose it is the curse of the history buff... Anyway, are there any history buffs that specialize in the coal field wars here on THR? Here is what I have found thus far: This is my great grandfather's H&R, with pictures...

Price check: Butchered 3 screw blackhawk (.45 LC) A bit of explanation is in order here... About thirteen years ago both my parents were into fast draw competition. Luckily, my dad was a traditionalist, and left handed as well so I ended up with his old model Vaquero and rig. Unfortunately my...

Has anyone used these, or better yet, know of a published gel test? I was always a fan of the .38 158 LSWCHP, so a 225 grain .45 seems like it would get the job done.

First, sorry for the cell phone pictures. I suppose it really isn't that much of an issue, as my camerawork isn't much better...:o Well, anyway, blade is ~13" from handle to tip, and roughly 3/8" thick.

I was just curious to see what others think about future value. It seems as though they have slumped below the pre-newhaven shuttering prices and have become somewhat stable.

Ok, here is the thing, I have had problems with my right hand since it was crushed back in 2003. This isn't that much of a problem, as I have always shot wrong handed. Now for the last month or so I have been having problems with my left as well, with swelling, pain, and loss of grip strength...

Well, I just got home with a Marlin 1889 manufactured in 1893 for less than the cost of a used Hi-point. She is ugly as hell on the outside, but locks up tight and has a great bore. Will be trying her out with some of the anemic CAS loads that advertise a MV of 700 FPS.

It seems as though mayorweasel Bloomberg is at it again. There have been several postings about minors calling from NY attempting to get private individuals to transfer handguns to them in PA. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, the "mayorbloomberg" channel on youtube is chock full of them...

Just came into one for a song to use as my new bunny gun. Does anyone know how similar they are to an Ithaca 37? I have not as of yet pulled it apart, and I am just a bit curious.

Well, I snagged this former 6" M&P abomination for next to nothing, and would like suggestions on what to do with it. Rebarrel, or trim, recrown, and silver solder a new front sight?

Here is another one that my google-fu skills are too weak to locate. Anyone have an idea on the value of a MINT 87 with original holster?

I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on whether or not the matte barrel was factory standard. The only information I have been able to locate on this matter is someones sales pitch:

Does anyone have a rough idea of what one of these would go for? Most web searches pull up model 11's for sale, and none of my books have anything on them.

Does anyone know of a free ballistics program for muzzle loaders? Even something as basic as Rem-Shoot would be helpful.

The story out of Zanesville has me thinking. What exactly would the rules be if one were to suddenly find a Cheetah in the hen house?

Does anyone know what this is?
