A good friend of mine recently inherited a number of firearms from a relative and one in particular has me a bit curious. At first I thought it was simply one of millions of sporterized Mausers out in the world. But in one of the pictures he sent me I noticed that it has a receiver mounted...

A friend of mine came to me yesterday with a little request. He had asked if I could make 6-12 blanks for him to "pop off" to ring in the new year. I asked him if he was gonna try this in city limits. He replied, yes. Now, out here in Arizona it is a felony to discharge a firearm in city...

Ive got an old win model 50 and am in need of a hammer spring. I've nearly worn out Google searching for one and have not found any. I really love this old shotgun and want to continue shooting it. Light strikes make Cliffy sad :(

I've allways wanted a Colt DS and a Python but I've never run across any at my local gun shops. The other day I stop by one of em' and an employee (who knows I've been looking for a Colt revo) tells me he may have somthing I want to see. He pulls out of a display case a stainless 6" barreled...

Just blowin off a little steam here. About a year and a half ago I purchased a new colt 1911 series 80 .38 super specifically for shooting tuesday night steel matches at my local range. Right away I purchased 200 rounds of assorted ball ammo with the intention of breaking the gun in first...

I shoot a Colt 1911 in .38 super at my weekly steel matches in limited class and I'm looking for some hi cap mag to help me compete. Most other guys shooting in limited are shooting double stack STI's, Glock's or XD's. My gun is single stack and thou most of the time it isn't an issue every once...

From time to time I see 1911's with the front of the slide cut in the Browning Hi Power style. I really like the look of it, especially on commander's. My question to all is, are there any negative effects of the lighter slide? Con's I'm thinking that in max effort loads the lighter slide...

I've got a Winchester model 94 chambered in 30/30 and I've notice a little problem. The primers are backing out of the case when fired. First things first, this is with three different types of FACTORY ammo. I've purchased dies and shell plate to reload for this caliber but have not done it yet...

Simple as it sounds. What do you revolver fans use for lube on your lockwork in your revo's, oil or lube. I shoot 1911's 90% of the time and for the Colt's I use slide glide on the upper and Hoppe's on the lockwork (sear,disconnector, hammer and hammer spur, ect.) Just wonering if anyone...

I have a Colt Compact that I have carried daily for a year or more and just today I noticed some minor surface rust on the front strap. The gun has the original park finish and I was wondering if I can "treat" the area to remove the rust or am I just gonna have to live with the stain...

My model 28 "Highway Patrolman" has a sticky extractor. The gun was stored under a water bed for 10 years before it was re-discovered and ended up in my hands. It had a lot of rust on the left side of the frame. I pulled it apart, sanded all the rust off and painted it. The rust was...

So whats the deal? I am an avid 1911 fan but my next handgun will be a Hi Power. Problem is the only things I know about them is as follows. 1 Hammer bite can be a problem (I get pinched by 1911's with spur hammers). 2 Many say the mag saftey can give you a iffy trigger pull. 3 Some...

I do a little coyote and fox hunting from time to time and on the occasion I get one. I have allways processed the pelt with the only way I know how. I will decribe it but my question is , how do you do it and what would you recomend. After the inital skining I strech the hide on a board...

This is a legal handgun. I have the original owners manual. ATC corp cut down a Mossberg rifle (i think) and sold it as (ATC "The Pocket Rifle" model 4). It is chambered for 22LR feeds from a 7 round magazine and even came with a neat little shell deflector that clips on the scope mounts...
