I have a Colt Cobra Lightweight .38, 1960 manufacture. Is this gun suitable for +P loads or should I stick with standard .38 factory rounds?

This is how I keep some of my extra mags handy: CZ82, 1911, CZ 75b Rare Earth magnets:

Last August I bought a Saiga .223 with the intention of converting it to a typical AK style. Even started to acquire some parts to do so, a Tapco G2 trigger kit. In all honesty however, I'm pretty fond of it in the Sporter style. I didn't expect that! The 10 round mag is sufficient for my needs...

If you are old enough to remember the original Herter's out of Weseca, Minnesota, well, you're no pup. Herters was like Sear's, nothing they sold was actually made by them, and they sold all manner of sporting goods, from leghold traps, to waterfowl decoys, to snowmobiles, reloading...

I am re-finishing the stock on a commercial Mauser bolt action. The finish was a dog to remove, strippers didn't work well, so I ended up using a card scraper on most of it. In the checkering on the postol grip, te finish and stripper have left a "stain" so to speak. Thats gotta go. I see...

Recently picked up this old wall hanger....... I know very little about it aside from the fact that it appears to be a "Khyber Pass" rifle, a copy of the Martini-Henry. I believe this model might be a Calvary Carbine model? Note the stamping on the receiver is reversed!! Is this...

I am in the processing of re-doing a commercial Mauser rifle from the 1960's. I can live with the Monte Carlo style stock, but the dreadful fore-end cap and pistol grip cap have to go. The fore-end may just get shaped, or I may add another cap of a dis-similar wood, and the same can be said of...

I recently acquired a Herters J9 rifle in .308. It was actually built in Yugoslavia, I believe by Zastava. The trigger leaves a lot to be desired and I'd like to replace it with a fully adjustable unit. I cannot however seem to find a correct replacement. Any help or advice would be much...

I live in roughly the center of North Carolina. Within 10 miles of my house are two of the best gun stores you could ask for as far as selection and prices go for both new and used guns. If I'm willing to drive a few more miles, there are several more. However, when it comes to reloading...

The Pawn Shop where I work has a Winchester 1885 High Wall. This is not the kind of gun we typically deal with, and I have been tasked with coming up with a fair price for the gun. I would rate wood and metal at about 70%. It's in .32-20(32 WCF) 28" barrel, 9xx serial number. Any help ya'll...

Don't know a whole lot about this rifle, but I'm hoping others here do! As I understand it, this is an 1885 Winchester High Wall, although I cannot find a model number on the gun. It has a 28 inch barrel, and a vernier tang sight, in addition to the factory buckhorn rear sight. There are no...

I'd be interested in hearing from folks with first hand experience owning/shooting the Zestava built Remington 798 series of rifles, especially as concerns accuracy. I about had my mind made up on a Marlin XS/XL-7 but came across a used 798 in .270, with a VX-1 3-9 50MM on it that has my...

I'm fixing to order a Marbles fiber optic front sight for my Super Redhawk .44, but the various heights available confuse me. Can somebody tell me which height would be the equivalent of the stock front sight on the gun now?

Came across this Marlin/Glenfield Model 25 .22 rifle recently at a local pawn shop. I'm not sure how long they have been out of production but the condition of this gun was amazing. Except for some residue in the barrel it might have passed for new-no box. Condition notwithstanding, I now have...

Picked up a surplus CZ-82 the other day. I have to say this is a mighty impressive little handgun! Finish is kinda beat, but I'll Duracoat it to fix that. Pleasure to shoot, great feel in my hand. Api safety and mag release, double-single action, theres a lot to like about this gun. Best...

Theres a few new "budget" rifles coming onto the market that have caught my eye. In particular, the Stevens 200 and the Savage Axis. I'm leaning toward the 200 in .243, but I hear good things about the Axis as well, and prices are comparable. Any advice or opinions on choosing between...

If you were looking for a used Remington pump rifle, in whatever caliber, is there any reason you might prefer either the 760 or the 7600 over the other? They seem to be pretty similar to me......

I came across a used Marlin 882SS .22 mag in a shop. Nice little rifle. I looked at the Marlin website and that model is apparently dis-continued, replaced by the 980 series. Is there really all that much difference between the guns? Was there a problem with the 882's that caused them to be...

The array of holsters available for the 1911 is dizzying, frankly. But thats a good thing. I'm trying to find a rather simple style leather holster, one that does not raise the grip much above the belt, made specifically for a 1911. Most of the holsters I see ride the gun up higher than I...

Hypothetical question: Non FFL gun seller in one state, sells a rifle on GunsAmerica to a non ffl in another state. Buyer arranges for a local FFL to receive and transfer the rifle to him, which the dealer does. Two days later(GA requires a three day inspection period) buyer decides he is not...
