I broke the hammer spring on my early contender (pre safety). The lgs has Contender hammer springs but they are different than mine.
Will the new spring work in the old style hammer?

She is on the small size so I'm thinking 20 ga.
We will be hunting waterfowl over decoys and pheasants.
She has a semi auto 22 so a semi auto would be nice.
I'm thinking a semi auto 20 ga. with a 26" or shorter barrel and...
Pre pandemic I bought a carton of CCI quiet 22 ammo. I thought that they would be very quiet in my suppressed XT22 and Suppressed Contender.

One of the main differences is the fact that I moved the ram rod off to one side in order to have a longer ram rod.
I also mounted a scope to it.
I started with a...
I built this Gemmer percussion pistol this summer and just finished it.
It has a 57 caliber barrel, walnut stock with pewter nose cap. I rust blued the metal.
Shoots good with 30 grains of 3f and a .555 round ball with a thick patch.
What do you think?

Do any of you have strange or unusual guns? Something you don't see everyday (or ever)? Show some pictures and give a description of something odd that you own.
I'll start with a Ferguson sporting rifle I recently finished.
I made the action, barreled it with a 50 caliber swamped barrel...
I have a converted revolver in 38 special with the barrel marked American Western Arms on top and 38 special marked on the side.
There are no proof marks or country of manufacture marked on the gun that I can find.
The gun has matching 2 digit serial numbers on all parts and is unfired. I...
