Can a Ballester Molina be fitted with an ambi safety? I know where there is a decent one, but no ambi, no buyee. Thanks ZM

I'm loading the 75gr BTHP Match bullet for .223. I got the powder data from the Hornady Manual while at Sportsman's Warehouse, but forgot to get the max OAL. This is for a AR with a chrome chamber .223/5.56mm Thanks ZM

I should know the answer to this question. I have a LW Commander. I'd like to put the alloy frame in mothballs and fit a steel frame to the Commander upper. Not a lot of frame choices for a Commander. Can the dust cover on a Govt frame be shortened to allow a Commander upper end to...

In this months American Rifleman Taurus ad. Shows what looks to be a Taurus stainless PT1911 Commander. Hopefully it will have a proper 4.25" barrel. Look to be a very nice looking pistol. Need to stop drooling on the keyboard. ZM

Has the Stainless version of the Taurus PT1911 hit stores yet? Does anyone know of a Commander (4.25") length version? Thanks ZM

Playing with the digital camera today. Thought this was an interesting pic. ZM

A co-worker asked me this question and I didn't have the answer. The co-worker in question was convicted of a non-violent Class A felony in Oregon. He is off supervision. Can he possess old timey guns like flintlocks and other black powder firearms? What about the newfangled in-line...

I put a H&R Buffalo Classic on layaway on Saturday. Looks like a good gun. The price is certainly right. I need to know a couple of things about it. Will it handle Marlin lever-action pressures (28,000 psi?) as I have been told? I can't find any data for long barreled 45/70 loads. Most of...

Got moved, got my bench set up. Polished a few cases in the tumbler. I can use my noisy diesel powered case tumbler now, I have an honest to goodness garage. Started with 303 British. Ran a couple of cases through a Redding neck sizer sans expander ball. Runout was .008 on both cases...

Looking for a bag large enough to hide a SKS or Mosin M38, some ammo, flashlight, and a few other goodies. Prefer something that looks like a overgrown gym bag. Don't want the bag to scream gun or SWAT. This will be stashed behind the seat or in the trunk of my itty-bitty car. The more space...

A close friend of mine sent his Dan Wesson 357 to repaired. He was not pleased. Here is a copy of his letter back to Dan Wesson/CZ and pics Greetings, You recently repaired my Dan Wesson 357 Magnum revolver. I received it back today and I am very disappointed with the quality of...

What is the difference in action strength, if any, between a Ishapore 2A and a 2A1? I have a 2A. I don't know for sure if there is a difference other than cosmetic differences, sights and such. I play it safe and load 2gr under max. It's more accurate and there is no need to load hot in a...

Saw one live and in person while window shopping at Sportsman's Warehouse http://www.hr1871.com/firearms/index.php?cat=4&subcat=23#45 Looks to be a loose copy of the original H&R break open rifle. Sights aren't original. They are Williams sights front and rear. Nice fit and finish...

Affordable meaning $500 or so. Can't arouse too much attention from the "Imperial Red-Headed Scorpio" Old school meaning no Russian New production guns. I think more like a Stevens 311 or some other good solid working class double that is afforadble and can be used in the field. A beater...

Anyone own or shot one of these? I am really interested in one. It 's probably the only double rifle that is remotely affordable for a poor starving working stiff such as myself. Thanks ZM

I would like to hear from anyone that has actually had work done by ER Shaw in the last year or so. Rebarreling, gunsmithing or any type of work. Did you like the work? How was their customer service? Did they get the work done on time? Most important, how did your gun shoot with a...

After three years in a crappy neighborhood we are moving to a duplex in a nice neighborhood. Much more room and a real garage. Defending the new place is going to be a challenge. My living room shares a common wall with a bedroom in the adjoining unit. Any shot that misses the BG has a...

The AIM Yugo Mauser I ordered arrived today. I know why it was $99. It's a mixmaster parts gun. Stock, floorplate, bolt and reciever all have different numbers. The bore is in excellent shape. The bluing is first rate. No primordial gun ooze anywhere, just the smell of mineral spirits...

Found it at the shop that is doing a cut and crown on my Enfield '06. It is a P-38, coded AC41. No bluing left. Slide and frame match, mag and barrel do not. Tooling marks on the barrel suggest late war manufacture. Frame to slide fit is very good nonetheless. Would make a very good...

OK that sounds a bit strange. My current pair of bumming around shoes has been comdemned by the "Imperial Red-Headed Scorpio". Some nonsense about the duct-tape and silicone seal holding them together. On Sundays I usually park my car and walk if I need to run errands. No big deal, put...
