    Question about older Charter Arms

    Just using the cylinder latch will give you a hard time getting the cylinder to open. You pretty much have to pull the ejector rod to get a smooth release. This is because (warning: long winded): There are two springs in the ejector rod assembly. One is the return spring and one is the lock...

    Charter arms floating cylinder?

    For all you Charter arms experts. I have a 1980 or so pathfinder. When the cylinder is closed, the cylinder is pushed forward due to the spring loaded ejector rod end (protruding thru the ejector star) as it rests against the cylinder latch release screw. Thus, the cylinder acts like it is...

    Jared Jewelry anti-gun

    If a woman can sue a store for not letting her breast feed, it would also seem to apply with firearms. It's like a store saying it does not allow men with brown shoes. What legal rights the state or feds grant should be applied equally.

    older 870 Wingmaster .410

    Just purchased. From the barrel markings I believe its a 1971 vintage. Its also marked as a full choke. I really like this gun. Its not a super light weight and has some good heft to it for the caliper. I havn't shot it yet as it needs a good cleaning. I am wondering if parts for the late...

    Beretta barrel bore condition

    gudel My cheapy digital camera can't take the real closeups I need for a picture of the bore. Maybe I can borrow a better one. Yes, I have seen striations parallel to the lands on many barrels. On the barrel I have they are even more pronouced along with the other machining marks I see. I...

    Beretta barrel bore condition

    gudel New. So were the others I looked at. I noticed the bore condition after I cleaned it well befor I shot it. Unlike buying a used gun, I didn't examine the bore when I bought it assuming it would be in similiar or like condition as all other new pistols I have purchased. The gun shoots...

    Beretta barrel bore condition

    To JohnKSa Staring down the bore is not the issue. The issue is a technical one for those interested in manufacturing issues. There are many facets to being interested in firearms. To psyopspec If two guns shoot equally well (a pristine whatever vs. a bottom of the line rust bucket), then...

    Beretta barrel bore condition

    I have a USA made all stainless Beretta 92FS and I find the barrel bore not as "finished" as all the other guns I have owned from the all the majors and some foreigns. The smoothness isn't there and residual machining marks can be seen with light reflection (more so than any others I have seen)...

    Winchester Reduced Recoil

    TX911fan Do the reduce recoil shells really appear to you as to reduce the recoil by 50%? I've never tried them.

    Recoil issues and eyesight, etc.

    Excellent question. The same issue concerns me also. Much of the issue is to try to limit as much of the shock part of the recoil transmitted from your shoulder to your head. I would say as a minimum don't snuggle your cheek real tight on the stock to help minimize the g forces transmitted to...

    Magazine catch for CZ83

    The magazine catch protrudes a wee bit too much in the magazine well so that the magazine will get hung up on the non sloped portion of the catch. This will only happen if the mag is riding on the forward side of the mag well. Anyway, anybody have any tips on disassembly to get at the catch...

    Cylinder length on Webley Mk V .455

    I have a book on the MK VI with technical details including a review of the changes up thru the various marks. There were no cylinder changes between the Mk V and the Mk VI so the cylinder dimensions are the same. Face to face is 1.5 inches even according to drawings (appear to be drawings done...

    Beratta 81FS 32 cal

    Onmilo I have not yet looked at the CZ-83. I have owned a Beretta 84 and like the feel and fit. I will check out the Czech model and see how it is. Thanks

    Beratta 81FS 32 cal

    otomik "it's not really available and I question your patriotism and knowledge of gunfu for even asking ;)" Apparantly Beretta makes the gun work well regardless of cartridge rim design. Also, I will assume you made the above statement in jest.

    Beratta 81FS 32 cal

    Checking the Beretta USA website I see no listing for the 32 cal version of the Cheetah, although they do mention it. Does anyone know if this gun is available for sale in the US? Thanks

    Quality of a mid 80s S&W J frame

    I bought a used J-frame (650) that needed some work and to have something to fiddle with and as a learning experience. I knew it was not in good shape but here are some things I found. - Top and bottom surfaces of the barrel are not machined parallel along the bore axis making it "appear" that...

    S & W and MIM Parts

    MIM <<With MIM, powdered metal with a plasticy/waxy binder is forced into a mold, then bashed in a press, and heated to "melt" (or sinter) the metal together.>> Seems like an MIM part would be uniformly more porous (less dense) than a casting or forging. Although castings can have voids...

    Webley Mk VI question

    Thanks for the picture. I found an inexpensive technical publication with some excellent information, "S.A.I.S No. 9". Also thumbing other books at a local firearms dealer. Went to a gun show today. There were two Mk 6s. One was a rusted out hunk of junk that the guy wanted $400 for. Crazy...

    Love the picture. Hot gas and steel! And just think, your hand is only inches away from super hot temperatures and immense pressures.
