Hey guys/gals, I was talking to a dealer at my gun shop yesterday and they told me about some company that reproduces the old single actions and pre wears them ie worn blue, nickel, pitting, and I wasn't thinking to write down so does anyone know of this manufacturer and what is your opinion on...

Sorry about not responding, had been out of town. I really appreciate all the comments it's given me a few more guns to think about, and I guess I will just let it lie and go with a .380, showed him one the seecamp and he seems to like it. Also he does want to carry, he is jus very specific with...

Well, the main problem with a belt is that his employer doesn't want customers to see one of his funeral directors packing. I let him carry my kimber pro carry and he said that even it was a bit heavy, making it tough to find a pistol that meets my caliber req but I guess if I have to I'll just...

Hey guys, my father bought bought a ruger lc9 a while back believing it was a good gun but he hates that its plastic so he never carries it. So I would like to buy him a new pistol that he will actually carry, ive been shopping around for a while and haven't really found anything im happy buying...

Hey guys, my friend was just inherited all of his uncles firearms and while helping him look through them I noticed that one of them; the Ranger 103-13 has no serial numbers, unfortunately the rifle wasn't taken care of and has a large amount of pitting on the surface of the barrel so I can't...

I used oxpho-blue from Brownells.

Really hard to say there is a nice 1851 navy colt at my local gun shop for 1300... but since it has to be 1000 i'd say a Colt Python.

Well, I decided to blue the revolver I know that some of you like to keep the scratches but this revolver just had to be reblued because of all the rust and pitting. I sanded out all the pitting and polished the metal to a mirror finish took me around 13 hours total, put on 8 coats of bluing...

Well, my thought is that I will reblue the revolver and if it turns out bad then I will send it to ruger and if I like it then all's well, nothing ventured nothing gained. Sorry to be so stubborn about it but sometimes you just have to try, I appreciate the help.

Well, I plan on cold bluing it, I reblued my mosin, marlin .22, and my high standard double nine and they all came out looking fine. I always spend always spent a lot of time on the prep and have been using oxpho bluing. Can you guys tell me if I can reblue this revolver and it look decent ...

Yeah, I had originally planned on posting some pictures, just haven't had time with work, I am going to try to have some up Saturday. Thank you for suggestions.

What I did to brown my colt navy was I polished the parts to a mirror finish, degreased them with isopropyl alcohol, and heated them up till with a propane torch while checking the temperature with a laser thermometer. It turned out great for my first time browning. Here is a link with...

Hello, I was recently given a Ruger Blackhawk .357 by a family member. The pistol was stored holstered in the closet for the past 20 or more years and had collected a large amount of surface rust which has destroyed the finish on everything except the cylinder and has pitted a large area on the...

Hello guys, I am trying to get this petition out to protect the last lead smelter in the United States capable of producing lead bullion which is used to produce our ammunition, car batteries, tire balancers, and many other necessities...

I checked the instructions and re-assembled the pistol and it is still not locking, however it does lock when turned to the left but that may be caused by the hand spring assembly.
