597 Thanks for everyone's help. I have received a new screw from Remington. I can always send it back for repairs, but a local gunsmith could probably do the job faster. The next time I take that screw out for cleaning the action, I will gently try to put it in being extra careful to not...

I have a Remington 597 that may be cross threaded and it is the back take down screw. My question is could a self tapping screw potentially solve the problem? graffer

I have aquired a Mossberg 500 persuader model. Can a longer barrel be put on in lieu of the shorter barrel that came with the gun? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. graffer

Double firing is terrible! Thanks for the input on that. Did Stoeger fix it?? Graffer

Forum Reading Forum reading often leads to trades and purchases of other guns. The decision to make is really this what is best for me? What is best for other forum participants is very likely not be what is best for you. There are many handgun choices and you may come to realize you...

sigma I got a deal on one like 4 years or so. My son has it now and he likes it. The grip on that model is very comfortable and the trigger does take some getting used to. I would not hesitate to buy another sigma. I had the Glock 23 that was a 40 SandW. It was fine. Either one is...

Ed Brown I have just one. It is the Executive Elite. I reload 45 ACP and I have yet to have a failure to feed or fire. Check out www.1911forum.com There is a forum just for Ed Brown. Many users call them garbage cans since they will fire reliably just about any round loaded to specs...

Browning 1911 At one time, Browning did indeed market a 1911 in the US. I saw one in Cincinnati, Ohio around 1992. Never seen or heard of any since then. graffer PS It seemed to be some kind of a commemorative going for $1000.00 The price kept me from buying it and I was not...

Neos The carbine conversion units seem to be on permanent hold and it is the cause of some griping amongst owners. I like the Neos but it did require some getting used to. I have Ruger MK II and SW 22 A. Take down and cleaning is not a particular problem. The iron sights leave...

gudel He has far more experience than some of you may think. He raised many questions on the 1911. As I recall he did not find satisfaction in the Colt brand. He tried one of the firest Sig GSR 1911 pistols and got a hold of a really bad one. He was not alone in the GSR debacle. I would...

Unneeded handguns Yes. But I tend to sell or trade down the road. There is something really special about buying and breaking in a new to me handgun. One positive benefit is that I can pass on my experiences with particular guns via the gun forums. Best wishes to all and your...

Not to worry at all, if a prospective buyer thinks you want too much, he or she will make a counter offer on price. Knowlegeable people will simply not pay too much for any used firearm. Ultimately, the price is governed on what you are offered by an interested person. It normally is good...

The single action trigger pull is 6 pounds and 5 ounces. Is there a way to reduce the trigger pull to 4 pounds? Thanks graffer
