I recently purchased a Ruger Precision Rimfire Rife in .17 HMR. What an accurate and easy shooting firearm! Even with my 75 year old eyesight and an economical Sig Whiskey scope, I could easily fit groups inside a quarter at 100 yards. I'm thinking about getting a Ruger Precision Rifle in 308...

I inherited a Model 27 C.J. Hamilton rifle. I know the history of these rifles, and have restored it as much as I can, but I'm missing the small forearm. Short of fabricating one myself, does anyone have a lead on a source for that spare part. I've search several sites but all the ones likely...

If you read Armslist's FAQ, they have a lot to say about scams by folks listing (selling) firearms. But they say little about scams or frauds perpetrated by buyers. The only advice Armslist gives, which is good advice in all cases I think, is to sell your firearms locally, in person. In the...

Here's a puzzler. I have recently acquired a Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless pistol chambered in .380 ACP. The SN shows the handgun was manufactured around 1921. Condition is pretty good, actually, about 80% with much of the dark gray-light bluing still visible. The problem is that the pistol...

I recently had the opportunity to purchase a Stevens Favorite Model 1894 chambered in Steven 25 Rimfire. It's in great shape for it's age, and I've dated it's manufacture to around 1900 (which is only an approximation since dating these models is somewhat difficult for the early pieces). The...

i recently purchased an Interarms Virginian Dragoon Deputy in .357. It's in excellent condition and I'm trying to find the manufacturer date. The SN begins with J0xxx. I'm fairly sure it was made in Midland, VA between 1976 and 1984. Does anyone know of any sources?

I'm looking at buying a Springfield 1903 Mark 1 (w/0 the Pedersen device). The receiver is dated to 1919 but it was rebarreled in 1944. It also has a CMP stock. Condition is about 75-80% as a result. I know what Blue Book says about the value of an all-authentic rifle, but was wondering what...

My Curio and Relic FFL license arrived yesterday. It took the BATF less than 30 days to process. Looking forward to exploring the C&R universe, though I'm going to take it slowly. I currently have about 8 handguns and/or rifles that qualify. If anyone has experience as a C&R license holder...

I have my eye on a Sterling 302 22LR (blued) at my local gun shop, but I don't know why. I've read not-so-favorable reviews about this little pocket pistol's unreliability. But then I've also read that after a good cleaning, burr removal with steel wool and proper lubrication, they (or some)...

Hi everyone. I'm new to THR - Tabequache from Colorado. I recently purchased a very nice, used Uberti Cattleman in 45 Colt. My local gunsmith looked it over and pronounced it is excellent condition, no serious wear, good action, tight, light trigger. My problem is that I can't find the date...
