    Taurus PT92 versus 99 sight accuracy question

    You can go with a leather-padded vise and a carefully-chosen brass or nylon (depending on the stubbornness of the sight) drift punch like I did once. I'm not sure if a Beretta 92 fixture would work, but there are some 'universal' sight pushers on the market of varying qualities.

    I can't believe this was published in a Kentucky paper!

    Lead quote: "The assault rifle a man pointed at two Lexington police officers early Monday on Arbor Station Way was more than dangerous, gun experts say." Hi all, I'm usually not surprised at the genuine ignorance of firearms function and nomenclature (and oft-found biases against them) by...

    Looking to get my wife into "Sporting Tac-ti-cool" Rifle. Suggestions?

    Does the .223 rifle that she dislikes shooting happen to be an AR-15 with a M4-type collapsible stock? She may simply dislike how the sharp angles of the buttplate of that stock feel as it sits in the "shoulder pocket". A good experiment would be to have her shoot an AR with a fixed stock with a...

    Taurus PT92 versus 99 sight accuracy question

    I wouldn't take a file to that front sight, for the sole reason being that (assuming it's like my fixed sight stainless PT92) the front sight has a dot cut in it (to line up with the dots on the rear sights), and even though the top of the sight might get lowered, the dot's position won't...

    Taurus PT92

    Submin, I wonder if Taurus has changed the mag release style during the PT92's production history... My PT92 is about 3 years old, with the decocker/safety. Is yours comparable in date of manufacture? I'd personally prefer to have the mag release like yours, instead of like mine that requires a...

    Taurus PT92

    Hello, I have the same gun, though I've never had that particular problem. I'm assuming you mean that the magazine release is not engaging the slot in the magazine when you insert it. For the most part, disassembly is the same as its Beretta cousin; see http://www.beretta92fs.com/ for more...

    Mental illness/concealed carry question--all states

    One good source that I've referenced before in writing papers on mental health is the work of Thomas Szasz. www.szasz.com Should your paper "be allowed" to adopt a stance (by the professor or instructions given) pro or anti on the issue, then you'll find his reasoning useful.

    Need help creating a knowledge quiz

    I generally agree with Conqueror. ZeSpectre, here's my request. As both a consumer and occasional creator of survey instruments (MPH and PhD in Health Services Policy), it pains me to see heavily biased surveys, whether intentional or not. As you can guess, I am pained quite often;-) The...

    Help with SC CWP rules

    Hello, I'm a SC CWP holder and a SC State Constable, and there is zero truth to what your friend told you about having to carry the firearm that you qualified with. FWIW, I, my fiance, and both my parents all carry handguns that are different from the ones with which we qualified on...

    870 receiver stud fix info please

    Yep, it's part #40. I'll oil it up tonight like you suggested and let it creep in, and give a strong turn tomorrow. Thanks for the advice; as usual, you're full of good info, Dfariswheel!

    870 receiver stud fix info please

    Hello all, In the process of changing the stock on my Remington 870 Express HD, I've managed to screw up both the stock bolt and the receiver stud (that the bolt screws into) by stripping out the threads on both. I've got the replacement parts on the way to me from Brownells, but I'm having a...

    Where can I find this AR barrel?

    Thanks for the reply; the Adco barrel sounds perfect! I looked on the website and it said they were out of stock on their midlength barrels (that were chrome-lined, at least), so I wrote them an email asking so. Are there any other places online that anyone can think of that would offer this or...

    Where can I find this AR barrel?

    Hello all, I'm building my first AR-15, and I've got the lower fully built, the upper receiver ready to attach a barrel, and all the tools needed to do that... My problem is I can't find a barrel anywhere online (that I can find, at least) that fits my "wishlist" of specs: - 16"...

    Aftermarket Taurus Revolver Sights

    Hey there, sorry to hear you've got a similar problem. However, I will suggest that you not give up on Taurus customer service just yet; it depends ENTIRELY on who at Taurus you speak with. I've called and talked to people who acted like they didn't have the time to speak with me, and then I've...

    Taurus "grey" stainless refinishing

    Yep, that's the exact reason I want to know as well... I sent a revolver back to Taurus for some timing work, and when it came back, some spots where the finish was spotty had been fixed somehow, and I was wondering if it was something I could replicate at home on my other Tauri....

    What do they come with?

    Both of mine (models 651 and 970) came with the stoopid little keys for the keylock, a generic manual, a warranty card, and a huge amount of smelly oil all over and inside the gun! As for "accessories" I got nothing... Most of that other stuff is probably stuff that the previous owners (if...

    What is purpose of grooves in a revolver cylinder

    I have a Taurus revolver where you couldn't remove the cylinder from the frame if those flutes weren't there... It's a 5 shot 357, and the yoke is really short. When I reassemble it, I have to line up a flute with the bottom part of the frame (where the yoke slides in) in order to get it to fit...
