    Inland 1911a1 replica

    For that kind of money, i would look fora used Colt MK IV. It will have the right cocking serations on the slide. Has an arched main spring housing but will probably be plastic so would need that. I dont think it would be hard to find a hammer and old thumb safety but the one on the Colt could...

    9mm Carbine!

    I have two of the HiPoint 995's, both in the ATI CX4 look alike stocks. Mine both have custom aluminum triggers. One has the barrel free floated and the bolt polished and jeweled. They run flawlessly, accurate with nice trigger pulls. Also have 10, 15, and 20 round mags for them. They also have...

    So who makes a good Bolt Action these days?

    If i had $1500 to spend on a bolt gun, i would watch the gun shows and find a used older model Rem 700 and buy a custom stock for it and maybe a better trigger though the older 700's had pretty nice triggers. I like the 700 safety, the bolt handle is just right and they are accurate. Unless you...

    Pietta 1858 Inaccuracies

    If you want to do a great job of removing the writing on the barrel then you will need to remove the barrel first. Its not real hard to do. Then get you a new Nikkolson 8 or 10 inch flat mill bastard file and draw file it. Draw fileing is hold the file by the tail with one hand and the other end...

    Crescent Fire Arms SxS

    I have one just like it but mine is marked under the trade name US arms. Mine does have 2 3/4 chambers. The barrels came three ways, Armory steel, twist steel, and damascus steel. Mine is marked genuine armory steel right in front of the chambers on the top of the barrels. Mine points and...

    .22 Rough Rider

    These guns are really the result of modern CNC manufacturing. No longer does a gun have to have a bunch of hand fitting to get them to work. As long as the opperator keeps sharp tooling in the machines the parts come out identicle.Someone paid a lot of attention in designing them in a way that...

    .22 Rough Rider

    I have two of them. One i bought new and the other one i bought used. There are a few differences in them, the used one is an older one. The hammers are a little different, and the cylinder flutes are longer on the older one. I have read some posts cutting them down pretty bad and from the...

    Makeing percussion caps

    I did not know it was corrosive. I wonder if that is an issue when using it to load rimfires or does the modern powder in the cartridge burn most of it out? I do remember the old percussion caps. I dont remember them being any worse than what they use now though.I know i wish they still made...

    Looking for bird/skeet gun

    What makes the best clay and bird gun is one that fits YOU right. What may be great for me may be awful for you. If you can try shooting some clays with other guys guns if they will let you. That should let you know pretty quick what gun will work for you or not. The 1100 does seem to work for a...

    Ruger LCP frame cracked

    Your LCP looks like a first generation. They will probably be sending you a new 2nd gen one. I bet you will like it even more as the trigger pull is much nicer.

    Loading an LC Smith SxS 16ga?

    Oh , you asked about 2 3/4 inch shells and if they will go in the chamber are they ok? No, a 2 3/4 inch shell will chamber just fine in a 2 1/2 inch chamber. The chambers are cut for the length of the fired shell after the crimp is opened.So if you fire a shell that is too long there is not...

    Loading an LC Smith SxS 16ga?

    Try taking your gun to a good gunsmith. It sounds like your gun has not been used a lot.I am thinking the extractor springs are stiff. A smith can probably put different springs in your gun so that it will open farther and it wont alter your gun other than the springs witch can be changed back...

    Do we have a Hi-Power Club?

    I have had several HP's. They are my favorite full size gun without question. There are several things i do like to customize on them though. They give me hammer bite from hell. So i tig weld a piece on the back and grind it to a slight beaver tail,then stipple or checker the front grip strap...

That is because those are the ones i prefer. I have an old winchester 67 single shot .22 that was made in the...

    How do I make a springfield mil spec more accurate

    Hey, if you ae going to club matches, ask around a bit. Good chance there will be a 1911 guy that either enjoys working on them or can at least look your gun over for you and see if there are any obvious problems. I dont know how much experiance you have shooting handguns, but the trigger has...

    How do I make a springfield mil spec more accurate

    One more thing you can check. With no ammo in the gun, push down on the barrel through the ejection port. It should not move any at all.

    How do I make a springfield mil spec more accurate

    Unless your gun has been shot many times i would say it is unloikely that it is unaccurate. My guess is the trigger may need a little help. If your slide does not rattle when you shake it then at most maybe a different barrel bushing.

    I guess I'm a junk owner

    Oneounceload, yes i checked the chamber and it is 2 3/4. I am sure it was as you say a hardware store gun. They came in 3 types of barrels, twist, damascus and armory steel. Mine is marked armory steel. I do not have a problem with useing damascus barrels though. I pretty much only use light...
