I was taking a look at an old Stevens "Buckhorn" bolt-action tube-fed 22lr rifle today, and it was looking like it was going to join my collection as the price was right...until I tried to work the action. The bolt would not cock unless the safety was on...if you tried to cock it with the...

If I understand correctly, the Colt .38 Trooper (not MKIII) and Colt Official Police look alike, share the same frame and chambering, so what's the difference? Is it smaller things like the grip, sights and hammer? Does the finishing or internal lockwork differ? More to the point, I have two...

I needed a fast response on this so I've posted my plea for advice in a couple places. Long story short is that I need to choose between two 9mm clones and I can't step back and get perspective anymore, I need somebody to tell me which is the better deal. I can either get a used $250 FEG...

A Makarov, of course.

Hi y'all. Need some advice. I bought this Detective Special on gbroker today for a good price...but I noticed it at the last minute and didn't have time to consult anybody before the auction ended. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=91808288 The problem, as you can see in...

THANKS ALL for the advice. It was worth it...I will keep them all, I think. :) The collective forum intelligence rules supreme. I guess my milsurps felt like a "herd" of rifles to me for two reasons: 1) I didn't mention the non-milsurp rifles I own, which are enough to make me feel guilty...

Hello all. looking through my rifle collection yesterday (which has been ignored for a few years as I've gotten into trapshooting), I realized that I've got milsurp rifles in too many calibers. Back in the day when I was single and, I think, slightly looney, I bought a whole slew of milsurps...

Thanks a million GC...went ahead and did just that!

Well, I've either got to shoot it (and hopefully it will "break-in") in the hopes that will start closing normally, or send it back (which will cost me). Recommendations?

Hey Lovesbeers, what do you mean by "tight?" Could you close them okay, or did you have to use the release lever?

I have a couple more questions about my new over/under (my first). It's a Lanber 2087, and the action is VERY stiff. 1) Breaking the gun open takes some effort... and closing it is even harder- I have to use the release lever to close it...the lock plate is stiff and the lugs can't move the...

This is pretty bad news. I would hate to start attacking a new gun with a file in the hopes that I could fix the problem. I am not sure about Lanber warrantees, since it is a Spanish-based company. MAX100, thanks for the info...if there are any specific details you could give me as to how you...

Help- can't close the action on my new o/u, what's the problem? Hello all. Brought home my first o/u today, a new Lanber 2087. I discovered that once the gun was broke open, it can't be closed it without moving the break-open lever to the side (same as you do when opening an o/u). If I try...

Yeah, what's the deal with those grips...they add some serious bulk! I wonder if it's possible to find panel grips somewhere? Anybody seen some, or know where customs one could be made relatively inexpensively?

Wow, I didn't know about that warranty thing...thanks! (I didn't want to send it in because in my experience company gunsmithing/repair always cost more $ than my local gunsmith)

Curious if anybody else likes this S&W throwback from the late 90s. Probably one of the last completely-metal lightweight small 9s to be made by anybody...20 oz, 7 rd mag... ....and pretty lousy to shoot, at least for me- bad trigger, hi bore axis, and doesn't fit great in my hand. Still...I...

Thanks... it's tough to search for posts covering this particular problem, as many posts I've read seem to deal w/timing issues, which I don't think is the culprit here. Simply looking for the keywords "Taurus" or "revolver" and "problems/seizing/binding/jamming" haven't given me much relevant...

Hopefully the knowledgeable here can chime in and tell me what's up with my newish revolver. I've never had a revolver w/a problem before... I bought a used Taurus md66 .357 a few months ago, but stupidly neglected to take it to the range right away for a test run. It was in pretty good shape...

As Jorg said above "....you can never assume a future ban will have a grandfather clause." Here in Chicago, they banned the sale and CONTINUED POSSESSION of "assault rifles" about a year ago. Too bad if you went out and bought a bunch of AR15s after the Federal ban expired...you had to turn...

Any Norinco 87/ Winchester 1887 owners out there who have both and are willing to find out if a barrel swap is possible?
