I bought 2 kits from a national brand company at a gun show last year. One of these was the 7.5" AR pistol complete kit less lower. Since completing this build recently, I am having cycling issues. The gun does not return to battery. All is well in the upper, but I note the buffer is 3-oz...

Hey guys, I've been accumulating some basic reloading equipment and supplies and I'm going to start in this week. First batch I want to do is 32 ACP, because I'm getting low on that round. Probably not the best choice to start with but it's what I need. I have 200 or so rounds of once-fired...

Same gun as a Winchester 1000X. I started in repairing and upgrading. I am at the point that I need some help with the powerplant. I have seen references to a couple of PDFs originally posted on another (dead) forum by Russ Sauer. Any chance one of you might still have a copy of these two files...

I have a Ciener Platinum 22 slide kit for 1911. It has work flawlessly, but now I'm getting some FT extract. I cannot figure out how to remove the barrel for cleaning. Does anyone have disassembly instructions or tips for this slide?

Local guy here has a revolver bought at an estate sale. At first glance I thought it was a S&W Victory, but it's not. The cylinder release is unique. I found nothing like it in any of my reference books. Other than that it looks like a pre-war S&W. The owner says it has no markings. Anyone...

I am in the process of cleaning the copper from several barrels that have never been thoroughly cleaned. Using Hoppes, followed by M-Pro 7 Copper Remover. It doesn't seem to be very effective, frankly. So i'm thinking, since the active ingredient in cover solvents is ammonia, why not just...

I just ran across this photo. It is from the Rodney King riots in LA. This is one of the Korean citizens protecting their shops from rioters. This pistol looks like a movie prop. Is it a Real Gun?

I just bought a really nice Ithaca 49 like I had as a kid. In fact, this one is nicer, having been carefully refinished by the original owner. However, it has a breechface that is peened from dryfiring, and has other marks like someone has used a tool to dig a cartridge out. It just looks like...

I have a NAA Black Widow that I occasionally carry in .22 mag. I have tried a 642, but it's bigger than I like. So I'd like to find a DA revolver in something like .32 H&R magnum. It would be midway between a NAA mini and a 642 in overall size. Something like a short-barrel Bearcat, except...

I have a Llama Minimax 45 project gun. In the process of rebuilding it, I wish to use Gun-Kote or similar coatings on the frame and slide. On these guns, the serial number is etched into the side of the frame above the trigger guard. It's barely visible in good light. If I apply a coating, it...

I found one of these in a local pawn shop. All stainless, very slim pocket pistol. It seemed to be very well made, in Italy. I've searched the web and found little info on them. Apparently only imported 1993-1995. Does anyone have any experience with them? Owners manual perhaps...

Hey guys, I ran across a couple of these in a pawn shop. Very nice-looking SS DAO pistol, flattest I've ever seen. Unfired, asking $250 OTD I'm sure tempted, but I don't want a gun with a history of problems. Anybody have any info or experience on these? Maybe a scanned owners manual? Is...

I just bought this gun because it looked interesting and was in excellent condition. Now I'm trying to find out something about it, with little luck. Someone on another board said because of a quirk in the GCA they had to change model numbers for a period, so this 101 is the same as a 71. But...

This is one of the 1940s-era Llama .380s that are almost identical to a M1911 in 3/4 size. It differs only in 1 - external extractor 2 - non-floating firing pin 3 - minor details - threaded fasteners instead of pins for example. I had stripped and cleaned it after buying it used...

I am building up an old Sistema. I acquired a Kimber adjustable target sight. I will need to fill the old dovetail on the slide and cut a new one about 1/2" further forward. Is there a correct location, or do I just set it so the rear of the sight is just at or behind the end of the slide...

From the sticky: "Headspace limit for the 1911 pistol is .898 inch minimum and .920 maximum. GO and NO-GO sets are made to these specifications." I'm pretty handy with a lathe. Can I make a couple of cylinders in the proper chamber diameter at a length to match these two numbers? Or is...

I have my Heritage western-style revolver all apart. I can figure out how to reassemble, but I'd sure like a step-by-step guide for a similar gun to go by. Is there any such on a website or a downloadable document? I bet some of you can do this blindfolded. If you can relate the proper...

I recently acquired a well-used .22 revolver. It's one of those cheapo Heritage guns, but I like it for a cheap plinker. I also have a mint Super Single Six for formal occasions [Wink] Anyway, I'm comparing the cylinder rotation between the two revolvers as the mechanism goes through a cycle. On...
