    Hatfield SAS shotgun.

    Total impulse buy. Was going through some stuff and realized I had a bunch more 20 ga shells then I thought I had. Including a bunch of #3 buck and slugs. Can't recall when and where I got them. I have two Savage Model 24s that have probably several hundred 22lr rounds fired through them for...

    My Hbar is starting to grow a little old on me and I am getting evil thoughts about sending it off to fat camp. But first I would like to know how much of a difference it would make. Anybody know how much lighter a govt profile midlength upper is compared to a Hbar?

    Swiss 1911 Carbine.

The thing had some rust on the on the outside but the barrel was good, the stock had a crack about two inches on the butt and looked weathered, and it had no magazine. It looked like it could of been fixed up but I was just afraid that a new mag...

    Need help troubleshooting a Rossi revolver.

    The gun is a model 84. It works just fine in single action but when you work it double action the cylinder does not line up right. I have it taken apart and I see no signs of excessive wear or someone screwing around with any of the parts. I'm pretty sure it is the hand but its always a good...

    I need a quick answer to a transporting firearms in Texas question.

    I am going to move a lot of my stuff in the morning. Sense I drive a small car I am borrowing my uncles pickup. The problem is that the pickup does not have a tool box so that doesn't leave any good place to put guns. I decided that laying guns in an open truck bed isn't very wise and the fact...

    My Hawkin didn't want to work with me today.

    I took my TC Hawking out today and it just did not want to group worth a damn. The first 3 shot group was at 50 yards and was about 1 1/2, but at a 100 yards the rounds wouldn't even keep on a piece of typing paper. I tried different powder charges, projectiles, Patches, cleaning the bore after...

Lately I have noticed that when I cock the gun slowly the cylinder stops just a few thousands of an...
