So the Moms Demand Action/Brady campaign sent out one of their mass emails, with a letter from a supposed "Gun Dealer" Chris Kitaeff who agrees with the Brady Campaign about how we need more background checks.
Turns out this guy doesn't actually own a shop, and his FFL#9-86-013-07-5J-05759...
So I saw this weird bolthead online and was compelled to buy it for some reason. I guess I was really curious. The guy said it was for a C-93 Borchardt but I knew it wasn't.
The case head marking diameter measures about .470" +/- .005, so I guess it was chambered in .45 acp or .308 or 8mm...

As a Thompson Center Contender pistol owner, I'm surprised this revision/clarification from the ATF somehow slipped under my radar until recently. But if I understand this correctly, it basically says that you...
Hey guys, I just got a c96 broomhandle. It's mostly mechanically functional except for the fact that when you pull the bolt back, the hammer won't stay cocked unless you manually pull the hammer back all the way. It seems that there is not enough material under the bolt to push the hammer back...
Does anyone know who made these grips and what gun they go to? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=320348487374
Says "Eagle AW (c) 70" on bottom of grip. Has allen head screws on both sides near the bottom center of grip. I did a quick google of Colt...
I bought a complete AR lower from my local range/gunshop. I never planned on it, but it was right THERE and I had a strange urge to buy it for some reason:eek:! I don't wanna say the brand or the price, because I'm pretty sure I paid too much :uhoh:
1. Is assembling an UPPER difficult...
I just bought a used T/C Contender Pistol in 44 magnum a while ago and it works fine. Recently I just bought a stainless 23" .223 remington barrel. The package says it's compatible with all Contenders, so I don't know why the hammer stops before touching the firing pin.
Anyone know what the...
I was wondering if anyone makes a small, pocket-sized s.a. revolver. Something like the 1849 Wells Fargo or any of the other .31 caliber cap-n-ball guns, but in a .32 caliber cartridge. Actually, it would be neat if there was a 5-shot .357 cylinder in a small frame. I'd prefer something that...
I was wondering if it's safe to load 30/06 projectiles in a .30 WCF. They're both .308 diameter, and they both have about the same weight, so I figure I could load them like I would load standard 150 grain bullets. Anyone ever try this? Is the tracer material gonna wear out the barrel quicker...
I fired a shotgun for the first time a few days ago. It was a cheap-o Higgins/Sears Model 200 (or model 20? I don't really know!). I shot at a giant Folgers can and really ripped it to shreds :D Fun!
One thing I didn't like was the recoil. I've been thinking maybe I should get a Winchester...
I'm thinking about getting my first Remington copy and decided I want one with the 12 inch barrel. Cabella's sells one in brass and stainless steel, but the stainless steel is too expensive ($390) and I don't want the brass one. So does any place sell a plain steel version? It doesn't look...
Does anyone know who made a small .32 caliber 5-shot break top? On the top of the barrel reads "National Arms Co. N Y, USA". No other writing, except serial numbers in the 20,000's.
From what I've been able to find out was that National Arms Co. made a front loading cartridge revolver...
:confused:
Does anyone know of any Spanish firearms manufacturers who may have produced Single Action Army clones? This particular one my brother bought at a flea market has a round swivel on the back strap, and the backstrap is part of the frame and not removable.
The left side of the frame...
Anyone else buy those junky Gewehr '88 rifles sold by Old Western Scrounger? I bought one about 7 months ago, got around to fixing it up recently and it actually cleaned up well enough to shoot. I only had enough bullets to make 15 rounds, but when I shot them I got 8-10 inch groups at 25...
A few questions :confused:
1) I've seen some ar-15 stripped receivers at some places (like this one http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=917223 ) and was wondering, are ar-15's something that you can put together easily? (As opposed to an ak-47 which requires...
I was wondering if the grip frames on 1851 Navy/1860 Army/Single Action Army are interchangeable. I think it would be cool if you could add a birds head grip to a cap n ball revolver, or be able to use those detachable skeleton stocks that were originally made for SAA's.
Actually I was really...
Hello my first post!
I know nothing about shotguns, so sorry if my shotgun terminology may not make sense :confused: . I recently purchased a shotgun receiver from an auction. After randomly searching shotguns on the internet trying to compare the reciever to mine, I thought it was a...
