Hi, I posted this message awhile back and didn't really get the kind of info I was hoping for. I think I'll try again and see if I can get some help this time. Basically I want to use hi-cap mags with my .308 Saiga without doing a conversion on it. I need to replace only 1 part with a...

I recently picked up a 22" .308 Saiga with beautiful wood furniture like the one here: http://www.raacfirearms.com/Saiga_308.htm The rifle was brand new, but was missing the factory low-cap magazine. The guy at the shop gave me two brand new Surefire 20 rd mags and I have purchased two 25...

Let me clarify a little bit. I already had the Tripp springs/followers and I forgot to add that I canceled the Wilson order when I found they were out of extractors. I have four Colt factory mags right now, two with the Tripp upgrades and two with factory followers. I hope to go to the range...

I think I posted before about this but I'm still trying to decide what to do. Somehow I managed to buy TWO brand new non-functioning Colts. I purchased a WW1 reissue and then a Series 70 repro a month later. They both have around 450 rounds through them and continue to be jam-o-matics. I...

Thanks for all the info. I already detail stripped once when I bought it and I'll probably do it again after I take it to the range the first time out (just to learn the process by heart). After that, I'll try to be less anal and strip it only when it really needs it. It will be hard...

I just purchased a new Glock 19 with intent to use it as a concealed carry piece. The first thing I did was detail strip it using internet instructions. My question is in regards to the three pins in the frame. On my Springfield XD's, I know that the pin holes in the plastic frame are...

I've been considering buying a Glock 36 for concealed carry. From what I've read the earlier versions had some problems and Glock has issued a few recalls, etc. I'm going to buy new, so can somebody tell me what to look for in the serial number that would suggest recent manufacture/ current...

I have a coworker (registered nurse with no criminal history) who has become interested in purchasing a handgun for range/defense use. He is originally from the Phillipines and has been here in Texas a little less than 2 years. He is not a citizen but he has a passport and visa (I don't know...

I have two J-frame S&W revolvers, a 442 and a M&P 340. I want to purchase wood grips for concealed carry. Are these frames both round butt, square butt, or one of each? The frame of the M&p 340 appears to be more square than round. It requires the little wedge tool to remove as opposed to...

Thanks for the help so far. The concensus seems to be for the Mark III. I guess I'll order that one unless somebody else has anything to add. Thanks again!!

Hi, I have a Remington 870 Police Magnum 12 Gauge that I use for home defense in my small one bedroom apartment. I just ordered the Pachmayr Vindicator pistol grip and forend to replace the wood. There are two different tools for sale on Brownell's website and I need help picking the right...

OK, this is driving me crazy. The only number on the frame below the barrel is the number 83, just like on every other part of the gun. I honestly can't find any other numbers except for the 1911 on top and the unit markings on the grip frame. I'll try again at the Luger forum, but I don't...

My degree is in nursing. I'm starting a critical care internship in a couple of months. The Luger was from a female coworker. Here dad had left it in the attick when he passed away like 20 years ago. She knew what it was worth but was kind enough to give it to me because she really was not...

Hi, I tried the Luger forum but for some reason everytime I try to post my message, the board logs me out. I don't know if it's my computer or their message board. So I'll ask here again in the hopes that somebody can help me ID it. Markings: Top: 1911, DWM Right Side: GF with a...

I was given a German Luger as a graduation gift a few days ago. The finish is about 90% (slight holster wear on edges) and all the parts including internals have matching numbers (83). The year 1911 is written on top just before the barrel. The magazine has a wooden floor plate (I was told...

Hi, my brother has a Bersa Thunder chambered in .380 I believe. He told me that the lever used to take the gun down for cleaning is stuck and will not rotate. I do not own a Bersa and I have not seen the gun yet, so I was wondering if anybody here has experienced this problem and how it might...

Ok, I might have figured something out here, but I'm not sure if it's right. I'm using somebody else's photo here because my camera is so crappy, so I hope that person doesn't mind. On this photo, right underneath the firing pin, there is a little metal rod sticking out of the black frame...

Hi, I recently purchased a new S&W MP340 Centennial. Tonight I removed the grip and the frame plate to do a general cleaning. I did not remove any internal parts, just cleaned the insides a little bit. After I reassembled everything, I was left with two little metal pieces, both the same...

I'm having problems with my Armory USA AKM underfolder. I bought it brand new and once or twice per mag, the rifle will chamber a round, but when the trigger is pulled, it just clicks...I then have to drop the mag, manually remove the unfired round from the chamber and try again. This...

Thanks...just put in the order.
