    Revolver Grip Restoration

    I have an old set of Detective Special grips and on one side the checkering is worn a little smooth. Is there anyone who can restore them? :confused:

    16 or 20 Gauge?

    I have a pair of old Wingmasters, one in 16 gauge and one in 20 gauge. I have never shot either, and I'm thinking of trading one away. I would like to keep one for my girlfriend as she is pretty small and maybe she would want to shoot a shotgun sometime. Which should I keep and why?

    Can a nickel finish be saved?

    I picked up an original S&W Model 58 (no dash) .41 Magnum for $200 yesterday. It locks up well, the trigger is beautiful and overall it is a solid gun in great shape except for the finish. There are tiny specs of surface rust all over the original nickle finish. Can I buff them out with...

    What S&W revolver was in the movie Magnum Force?

    In the second Dirty Harry movie, Magnum Force, Lt. Briggs pulls a revolver on Callahan in the car after the mailbox bomb is unsuccessful. What type of S&W is it? It is larger than a J frame but still looks to be a 2" barrel, maybe a 2.5 inch? Does anyone know if it is an L or N frame? I know at...

    What is this worth?

    Hey guys, I got this mount for a Winchester Model 1894 from my grandfather with a bunch of other old shooting things (including some shotguns, old boxes of shotgun shells, etc) but neither he or I own a '94 and I don't have any intention of buying one. It appears to have never been out of the...

    Parts ID in a commercial SA, Inc Garand?

    I also posted this elsewhere, but some of you Highroad ol' timers might know better! ;) So I have had this Garand for at least a couple of years now and I was curious as to what parts it is made from. Obviously the barrel is a new Springfield Armory, Inc. and the receiver is a casting made...

    Enfield 2A replacement stock

    Does anyone know where I can find a replacement stock set? Mine has a bunch of arsenal repairs with non-matching wood. Since I'm refinishing it, I figure I'd like a stock without arsenal repairs. I don't care how it is finished, as I'm going to refinish it. Metal isn't necessary but I'd pay for...

    Pocket Carry -My Problem.

    Does anyone else have a problem with pocket carry, and I don't mean your gun is too large to fit in your front pocket. When I have my Kel-tec P-3AT in my front pocket, I never feel comfortable sitting down with people. Specifically, if I'm going to out eat with my parents, or on a date, or...

    Romanian pioneer air rifles from century?

    Has anyone ever bought one? For $25 for a very good condition I am tempted! Looks like it would be much better than my plastic Daisy powerline 880 for trigger control practice at work or in the backyard. :what: Any info on them? Google turned up nothing, THR search came up empty as well. ETA-...

    How do you guys do a 2 handed grip on a revolver?

    I just honestly haven't shot my wheelguns a lot. I'm a 1911 guy mostly myself. But I do so love my Colt Dick Special and my '68 Colt Official Police. Oh yeah, love my dad's '66 Python! But anyway, I use a standard both thumbs forward not too high grip on my autoloaders. I use virtually the...

    It's amazing when..

    You go to the range to relax and have fun and you actually do both! When I used to go shooting I would always load up my bags with as many guns as I could fit and usually drag along a rifle or shotgun and just see how many rounds I could go through in my alloted time on the range. Well today I...

    Why do gun shops close on Sunday?

    Or any retailer for that matter? For example, I work in a service business M-F 7-7 and Sat 9-2 except if I'm in class. This leaves me with little to zero time to visit any gun store other than the one that is also a range that is open Sunday. If he majority of America works M-F then why are the...

    Taurus Customer Service

    What can I say except for TOP NOTCH. I'm almost speechless. On Monday the 10th I went to the local post office and sent out the factory magazine and recoil spring to my dad's old PT-945. This pistol sits, loaded, under the counter at our business and has been for the better part of 12 years...

    Legal question about my AR nd barrel length

    So now that the ban is over I want to un-neuter my Bushy M4A3. The only gunsmith around my area that I could find is about 45 mins away and will charge about $200 to replace the muzzle brake with a threaded flash hider and replace the front sight post housing. I can get a complete barrel...

    Guys, honesty is the best policy...time and time again.

    Today was my friend's 21st birthday so I was the designated driver. We went to Bennigan's and had dinner and he and everyone else drank. I had one (1) ice cold pint of blue moon beer the entire night and drank diet coke for the remainder of the evening. Well, fast forward to about 20 after 3 in...

    ...American Political Tradition and so far I absolutely love this class and professor. The professor is hilarious and absolutely impossible to peg as either a dem or repub. Well today we got discussing the 2nd Amendment and I really got into a great discussion with the professor. Now mind...
