    Browning HP 9mm magazines

    Like 10X said, Mec-Gar is the way to go. I just bought 3 of their flush-fitting 15-round magazines from CDNN and posted a little review of them on my blog here. CDNN also carries the standard 13-round magazines and the 15/17-round South African jobs.

    Subcaliber inserts for .35 Whelen?

    I *think* Alex Inc. makes an adapter for this. Alex, Inc. Box 3034 Bozeman, MT 59772 USA WWW: http://www.mcn.net/~alex E-mail: [email protected] Website seems to be defunct, but maybe you can reach him by email...

    CZ75B or CZ75B SA?

    Also be aware that the SA model has a different slide with full-length rails instead of the Hi-Power style lightening cuts on the regular B model, so it might not fit into all CZ-75 holsters.

    BHP - what should I do? Help!

    The factory adjustables are recessed down into the slide and that will limit your options for replacement sights. In fact, I don't know of anyone who makes a replacement rear sight that fits the current slide cut; you might have to have the slide welded up and re-cut. The epoxy finish is more...

    Necked down shot shells?

    Greener made some Martini-actioned shotguns that fired a special 14-gauge, bottlenecked shotshell. The gun/shell combination was specifically designed so that stolen guns would be useless without the special shotshells. More info here: http://www.martinihenry.com/faq.htm and here...

    On removing paint from my scope?

    I'd recommend contacting Leupold. They have a great rep for customer service.

    different bolt on new 870s?

    I believe those bolts are only in the Super Mag (3 1/2") guns. Don't know if it serves any purpose.

    Cosmoline: How does the military remove it

    An old gunsmith I knew told me that the standard procedure was to dunk the guns in a series of drums full of diesel.

    Gun/military history related sights in NYC?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the antique gun collection at the Met. They also have some great swords and armor on display. Should you find yourself in the East Village, my favorite bar in NYC is Manitoba's.

    Gun/military history related sights in NYC?

    Unfortunately, you're going to miss out on the coolest military-related sight in NYC, the USS Intrepid museum. The ship is getting an overhaul in New Jersey right now. The only gun place I can think of is the Holland & Holland Gun Room on E. 40th. Enjoy your trip, New York can be fun... in...

    Photo of bullet leaving muzzle

    Re: cameras capturing infrared light, if you have a digital camera with an LCD display, try pointing your TV remote at the camera and pressing one of the buttons. You'll see the IR from the remote on your camera's screen.

    I carry mine in an Aker Express sharkskin pocket holster. I'm quite happy with it. http://seecamp.com/aker.htm

    Fired from an open bolt?

    As El Tejon said, open-bolt guns are less accurate than closed-bolt designs, because the impact of the (usually quite heavy) bolt slamming forward is much more jarring than a hammer hitting a (usually very light) firing pin. It seems to me that lock time would also have to be a lot longer, too.

    Your 12-ga was made in 1953 and the 20-ga was made in 1929.

    Best place to get a Mauser action?

    The Interarms Mark X actions are currently being imported by Remington and used in their Model 798 sporter. To the best of my knowledge, bare actions and barreled actions are no longer available.

    Impossible to carry Browning HP in condition 2...?

    Also bear in mind that you might not want to go with a 26# mainspring if you plan on using +P ammo in the HP. The mainspring absorbs a lot of the energy of the recoiling slide, and going to a weaker spring means that the slide and frame take more of a beating.

    Who is your preferred shipping carrier?

    I'm convinced that UPS employs people to knock packages around with sledgehammers in the distribution centers. Another vote for FedEx.

    Thoughts on the Steyr M-A1 Pistols.

    The guns themselves have a good reputation, but this is the SECOND time in the last 5 or so years that Steyr has had a major disruption in supply. If I bought the gun, I'd also try to stock up on spares of the parts that are most likely to need replacement...
