    Enfield Jungle Carbine. How to tell if it is the real deal?

    A friend of mine told me today that he saw a Enfield Jungle Carbine at a pawn store down town. He said it was a .303 cal and it was one of the best ones he has seen. The price is only $99 so it got me thinking. How can I tell if it is a real Jungle Carbine or just a cut down? It is a good...

    A blued 686? Something doesn't sound right here!

    Check out this guy's auction. He says it is a "blued Steel 6 shot 686" The box says it is a SS 7 shot 686. I think it is just a 586 and the guy is an idiot.:neener: http://gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=13213495

    S&W 586. Need some info please. Recall?

    I just brought my S&W 586 4" blued .357 home today. I ordered it online so this is the first time I got to hold it. It is not as nice as my other one that I sold a few years ago but it is still pretty good. It is a little looser and the blue is not as deep but it is still better looking than...

    What C&R rifle should I get next?

    Here is my list of things that it has to have for me to buy it. 1. It must be in a caliber that is cheap and easy to find. I have stuck to these calibers on my other C&R rifles for ease. I would like it to be in one of these cals or in a common cal that I already have (9mm etc.) 8mm...

    How many guns do you keep loaded all the time?

    I find that I have only three guns that I keep loaded all the time. One is my home defense Beretta 92fs. The other two are my carry guns, a S&W 642 and a Beretta 21-A. I sometimes carry other guns but these guns are always loaded and ready to go.

    What handguns have you re-bought?

    Have you ever sold a gun and later bought the same gun or same model again because you missed it so much? Have you ever bought another identical gun even though you had one already? I had several guns that I didn't know how good they were until they were gone. S&W 586, I recently decided to...

    Is ANY gun that is 50+ years old really a C&R?

    I have heard that once a gun is 50 years or more old, it automatically becomes a C&R. Is that true? For example, if I have a S&W model 36 revovler that was made in 1952, is that a C&R? What if I buy it before it becomes a C&R, do I have to log it once it becomes a C&R? If I buy a gun...

    Is the S&W 638 going to go on sale like the 637 and 642?

    My dad really wants a 638 but if they are going to go on sale and come down in price like the 637 and 642 just did, I think he can wait. A few months ago, the 637s and 642s were selling for well over $400 but now they can be had for $300-350. If the 638 is going to follow suit, it will be...

    After market grips for a Bersa?

    With all the Bersa pistols that are being sold, you would think there would be more aftermarket products for them but I don't see any. Are there any aftermarket grips for the Bersa? What about Hogue? Will the modern Bersa mags fit my older model 383-A or do I need a 383-A mag?

    Thinner grips for Beretta 21A?

    Does anyone know if there are thinner grips available for the Beretta 21A? I have the black plastic with the checkering. I have heard that there are some thinner grips out there but I don't have any info about them.

    Barrel to frame ratio.

    What is the ideal bbl to frame ratio in your view? I am talking mostly about S&W revolvers. Here's mine: J-frame, 1 7/8"-2" K-frame, 4" but my 6" M-19 is nice and so is the 6" K-38 and K-22. L-frame, 4" N-frame, 5" Why this length wasn't more popular is a mystery to me. These lengths...

    Got a Bersa .380 at the last gunshow.

    I just bought an older Bersa model 383-A in .380 caliber. It is nickel with nice wood grips and has the steel frame instead of the alloy that is made today. It seems smoother than the new ones I have seen and maybe even a little better made. What can you folks tell me about this model...

    CZ-40s for $249 at CDNN!

    Wow! The price on these keeps going down! For that kind of money, you almost can't afford NOT to buy one.:D These are very good guns that could sell for $400 and up. I don't understand why people don't like them.:confused:

    Which wood grips for S&W K/L frame square butt?

    I have a M-19 and will soon be getting a 586 both with square butts. What are some nice wood grips to put on them? I don't like the factory target grips because they are too large for my hand. I don't want rubber or plastic because these guns are blued and I don't like the look of blued steel...

    What is a good price for a S&W 586?

    I just purchased a used S&W 586 and I was wondering if I got a good deal. I don't have it yet but from the pic and the description it is in excellent condition 90% with 4" bbl, red insert front sight and white outline rear. It comes with Pachmyer grips, not original. I have bought from this...

    Shot my new 642, first impressions.

    I got to shoot my new 642 for the first time today. I am not used to shooting DA only on targets so my groups were not very good. They were groups and not patterns at least.:D The shots were more or less centered and I had no mechanical problems. It did seem to spit more power and junk...

    Best factory self defense loads in a snubbie?

    What are the most powerful and effective self defense loads for .38spl snubbies? I know this has probably been asked before so if you could point me to the threads or just give me the 3-4 best loads that people seem to like, I would apperciate it. I don't like those wierd loads like Glaser or...

    Just got a S&W 642.

    I went to the gunshow on SAT and picked up a new S&W 642. It was only $369, which I think is a decent price and I needed a small, light carry gun. I really wanted the super light Titanium version (342?) but at $600, I think not! Anyway, I have had many small pistols since owning a Charter...
