As to who built this one? No further info. What you see is what I have.

Gents, I have two 1851 Navy revolvers. One is a recent-production Uberti, and the other is a Second Generation Colt. While the fit and finish on the Colt are superior to the Uberti (and should be), the Uberti is considerably more accurate. That being said, the cylinder throats on the Colt...

In the past two months, I have had two Uberti revolvers (an 1860 and 1851 Navy) both develop miss-fire issues due to weak mainsprings. A weak mainspring may make for a light, smooth action, but it does nothing for reliability when the cap needs a good WHACK! There are reduced power spring kits...

OK, I can't find my Brophy 1903 Springfield book, so a pop quiz for the collective: What is the correct metal finish for a Remington 1903A1 (NOT A3)? Black or gray-green Parkerizing?

Gents, I am in need of an old Hi Bev-L-Block front bead base. I cut back an old Auto-5, and it is patterning WAY high with the Colonial Arms base and standard bead. I need the higher base to lower the pattern. Brownells and Midway used to carry them, but they aren't available anymore. In...

This is probably a question best directed at Old Fuff or Dfariswheel, but does anyone know if the Colt Army Special was marked differenty to differentiate between the earlier .38 Colt chambering and the later .38 Special chambering? All of them that I have owned or seen just say "Colt Army...

Gentlemen; I am in the middle of rebuilding a thrashed Browning Auto-5 in 12ga. The magazine tube is bent, and I need to unscrew it from the receiver to replace it. HA! I have removed the set screw at the magazine cut off, and I am trying to unscrew this thing counter-clockwise, but it...

Ladies and Gentlemen; I am in need of a good '97 gunsmith who can possibly replace a barrel on a take-down Winchester '97 (1951 vintage) and polish and reblue it. I would provide any needed parts. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Gentlemen; I am in the middle of a Colt New Service rebuild/restoration and am in need of some advice and info. First off, the gun is an old Austin PD 4" .38 (Serial #3452XX) that was beat to death as a duty gun, retired and reblued, and beat to death AGAIN! Most of the markings are gone...

When you bought your Chinese Paratrooper SKS, what configuration was it in? Did it have a bayonet? Scope mount? Thumb hole stock? Removable magazine? Did it have a cleaning rid? If you have pics, feel free to post them. Thanks!!

It is listed on an auction site as a large bore, turn of the century "French Revolver", probably around .44 caliber. I am guessing 11mm. Well, it isn't an 1873 Martial Revolver. Any ideas?

arrived last night from Cabellas and they look pretty good. They appear to be timed correctly, lock up well, and the actions are pretty good. They are a little gritty, but that should smooth up with use and cleaning. The triggers have quite a bit of creep in them, and I don't think much can be...

I couldn't hold out any longer.....the craving was just too strong. I broke down this morning and bought a brace of '51 Navy revolvers from Cabelas. Why two? Well, Wild Bill carried two.... Oh, and did I mention that I am having a custom, butt-forward rig made up by San Pedro Saddelry? Now...

I have always loved the Colt 1851 Navy, but have never gotten around to ordering one. My favorite is the earlier model with the square-backed trigger guard. Aside from looks, does either trigger guard offer an advantage over the other? Also, just out of curiosity, who currently has the best...

What light fits the rails on the M&P? M3? M5? Gracias.

Which would you prefer, 18" or 16.25", and why?

Will the Charles Daly High Power rear sight cut work with a Novak Lo-Mount rear sight? I am thinking about picking one up as a project gun/tinkering project. No, I shan't be abandoning my T-series Belgian Novak... :D It's not a standard HP rear sight cut, and it LOOKS like a Novak sight...

I am in the middle of a Remington M-11 rebuild, and the fibre recoil buffer at the back of the receiver is long gone. Given the adhesives we now have available, do you see any reason why a new buffer couldn't be glued in place instead of riveted? I am very leery about trying to drill out the old...

I recently purchased a model 455 .45 ACP stainless snubby that is proving to be kind of interesting. First off, it has a 2" UN-ported barrel. I can't recall seeing a non-ported .45 ACP Taurus snubby before. Out of the box, the action was pretty rough and heavy. Being someone who can't leave well...
