Was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on how to go about getting my Remington 788 in .308 rifle to group from a cold barrel. Right now it will only hold a group after at least six shoots are run through it and the barrel warms. First shot from a clean, cold barrel hits about 4 inches...

I just bought a Remington 700 that recently arrived new in box at my local gun shop. It is a stainless Remington 700 with a 24 inch heavy barrel in .308. The stock looks to be similar to what was on a Sendero rifle I owned I a few years ago…possibly an HR Precision? Barrel is 24 inches...

I am looking at buying a Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 over the internet (Gunsamerica) but I have a question. The seller says that the gun has a 6 1/2 inch barrel but the serial number has an N prefix (N365XXX). Did any of the N prefix Model 29-2 come with a 6 1/2 inch barrel? I thought that the...

I have a S&W 642-2 Airweight. My question is whether it would be possible to have the frame refinished and who would you recommend? Also, if possible I would like it to be done with something dark in color and durable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Art G.

Just curious as to when the Anaconda in .44 Mag was first introduced. Thanks! Art G.

I recently bought a Colt Anaconda that apparently is from the Colt custom shop. Came with paperwork that says it is “First Edition†1 of 400. Serial number is MM003XX. What I would like to know is when it was made.... but I really don’t want to have to send Colt $100 to find out. Any...

Ok, I am obviously not an expert on Remington 870 so excuse the question if I am missing the obvious... Why and when did Remington change the slide and action bar configuration to include the extra notch on the left side of the slide and the corresponding extra tab on the action bar? In other...

I just acquired in a trade an older Colt Series 70 with a G70 suffix serial number. The pistol honestly looks unfired and totally original. The only thing I am wondering about is that the trigger is nickel/satin. A B70 suffix gun that I own has a blued trigger and that is what I assumed would...

I have an older Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge that I would like to change out the the standard ejector/ejector spring to a mag ejector/ejector spring... so it will properly eject 3 inch shells. Any suggestions on how this is done would be appreciated. Thanks! Art G.

A fellow at work just mentioned to me that he had a Smith & Wesson 12 gauge auto loading shotgun 28†vent rib modified choke that he purchased new around 1978. I have not seen the gun yet but I am guessing that it is a model 1000? My question is who made these guns for Smith & Wesson and were...

Please excuse my ignorance on these guns but what is the difference between a Redhawk SS .44 mag and a Super Redhawk SS .44 mag? Thanks! Art G.

Is 18# the correct spring for military 1911A1 using ball ammo? Looking to replace the recoil spring in a Remington Rand that I recently acquired. Thanks!

I have been searching for a pre '64 Model 70 and finally found a 30.06 standard rifle (manufactured in 1958) that was advertised as being in new, unfired condition. The rifle arrived to me today and checks out as advertised as far as I can tell. However, the safety won't move from the fire...

I just acquired a Colt Detective Special 3rd Issue serial M488XX and I was wondering if anyone might know what year it was manufactured in? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Art Goddard
