Yesterday I posted about a trigger issue on my new to me CW45. In a nutshell, it had a noticeable delay at the end of the trigger stroke before the striker released. Well, I followed advice on here and other boards and lubed it really good and put 50 rounds of hardball through it. (That...

I recently traded my CW9 for an essentially unused CW45. I really liked the CW9, I just wanted more punch with a carry gun. I stupidly agreed to the trade before dry-firing the CW45. It's trigger is different, in a bad way, from the CW9. When I pull the trigger slowly, to stage it, there is a...

I've got a 1920 Remington Model 11 with a 20" barrel that I love. I want to refurbish it and make it into a HD shotgun. I understand it has no real collector's value, so modifying it doesn't seem a problem. Here's what I'm thinking. Please share your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks: 1...

A local store has the Stevens 320 with pistol grip and ghost ring sights for sale at what seems like a good price. Does anyone have one of these or have info they could share? Thanks.

Bought a Ruger SR9c yesterday. Am really impressed with its effort to be both a bedside table/home defense and carry gun in one package. I've owned a lot of pistols, from a Glock 21 to a Kel Tec 380, and a lot in between, and this splits the difference as well as I've seen. I liked my Glock 26...

I have a standard Century GP75. I have tried on several occasions to remove the slant brake. It is held in place by a depress-able pin that sticks out of the bottom of the front sight base. Problem is, no matter how hard I press, I can't get this spring loaded pin to depress enough to allow the...

At lunch I was browsing a nearby gun store and saw 6 or so nice Browning Auto-5s on the rack. Three of them were Sweet Sixteens. Don't know if anyone's interested. Standard engraving and nice condition. It was Dempsey's in Meridianville, Al, just north of Huntsville.

Circumstances finally allowed me to shoot the 1920 Remington Model 11 that I bought last month and posted about. It was right at dark so I was only able to run 15 rounds of Federal birdshot through it. All 3 magazines-full cycled perfectly and then it was too dark out to shoot any more. I...

Today I stumbled across a 12 ga. Remington Model 11 mfg'd in 1920. It has a 20 inch barrel, and has serial # 217,XXX. It's in nice shape. I learned that magazine extensions for 870s fit if you add a 1/8 in. spacer. I tried the Scattergun Tech +2 extension from my 870 and it does fit. I'm...

I am going to replace the wood furniture on my Wingmaster that I've set up for home defense. After looking at the options on Midway, I'm leaning toward the Choate conventional stock and forearm. I really like the ability to adjust the length of pull and that the forearm doesn't interfere with a...

I recently got a Century Arms GP1975 and was able to take it out to shoot yesterday. I was a little concerned b/c of the Century Arms connection, but I've owned one of their Golanis and my brother in law had a WASR. Both were very reliable. I loaded 5 magazines and mainly function-tested it...

I recently bought an 18 inch barrel for my 870 Wingmaster and am considering a magazine extension. I will probably get the Remington brand one. My question is which extension fits flush with the end of the 18 in. barrel ? The 2 round extension ? Thanks. Chuck Pullen

I recently bought a converted Saiga .223. It came with a 10 round Saiga magazine. After looking at the magazine options, including installing a bullet guide, I was not confident in my ability to install the bullet guide, even though I'm aware it's not supposed to be a difficult installation...

As I posted earlier this week, I traded into a converted Saiga .223 AK Wednesday. I was able to take it out this afternoon for function testing. I put 60 rounds of American Eagle Tactical and 20 rounds of TulAmmo .223 through it without a hiccup. The gun shot smoothly, and felt solid and tight...

I posted yesterday that I was thinking about buying a Saiga .223. After reviewing everyone's responses (thanks), i went ahead and made the trade. What I got was a like-new Saiga 223 that has already had the pistol grip conversion done. It has: 1) Tapco collapsible T6 stock; 2) Tapco SAW...

I'm thinking about getting a Saiga AK in .223 that is new, and has already been converted with a pistol grip and a Tapco adjustable AR_15 style stock. It comes with one ten round (might be 5) mag. Does anyone have experience with these guns? Are they as reliable as 7.62x39 Saigas? Are mags a...

Last week I traded into a lightly used CAI Golani Sporter with GT member AK74auto (thanks, Joseph). Today was the first chance I had to shoot it, so my BIL and I went to a nearby field to do some function testing and plinking. I got the gun with two IMI metal mags and two Orlite plastic mags...

Last week I was looking for opinions on a Remington 1100 for HD backup. Well, after thinking it over, I went conservative and got the shotgun I really wanted. It is a 1976 mfg'd Wingmaster with a 26" barrel, nice bluing and really pretty walnut furniture with fleur de lis checkering. It is...

I'm thinking about getting an 1100 with a 21" Cylinder bore that would be primarily for HD and range/fun. I already have a Mossberg 590 Special Purpose for HD, so really I'm already set and know it. However, this Remington 1100 Magnum with rifle sights looks and feels good. I just don' want to...

Long ago, before I had any appreciation for such things, I inherited my grandfather's Ithaca 37. It has no serial number that I can find. I'm pretty sure my grandfather had it at least in the early 50s, probably earlier. It is in good shape, and I want to keep it, but I'd like to figure out...
