    Please help with information on an old (civil-war era or earlier?) side-by-side.

    Another member suggested I post here where there are people more familiar with this type of shotgun. This shotgun has reportedly been in my brother-in-law's family for an unknown number of years. It has been on his mantel for the past 25 years. My brother-in-law is deceased and the history of...

    This shotgun has reportedly been in my brother-in-law's family for an unknown number of years. It has been on his mantel for the past 25 years. My brother-in-law is deceased and the history of the gun is murky (non-existent). I hope someone will be able to provide some information regarding...

    32 H&R fans rejoice

    I have been a fan of the 32 H&R since i bought a S&W snubbie (model 332) years ago. When shooting the magnums, it seems a lot of propellant is expended in a fireball coming out of the one and seven eights barrel. I wonder how much the Charter Arms 3 inch barrel would increase bullet velociity...

    What Caliber Do You Carry Most?

    I wish you had included 32 in the list. I'm fine with 32, though I have others. I'm not trying to convince anyone, just adding my response.

    Snubby revolver barrel length?

    This may be just a trivia question. I have a S&W snubby with a 1 7/8 inch inch barrel. This strikes me as an odd length to choose. Why not 2 inches? or 1 3/4 inches? Is there a formula defining a relationship between barrel length and some other measure of the gun or cartridge? (I know...

    Ithaca manufacturing problem years?

    I am left-handed and am looking for a used 20 guage Ithaca 37, preferably deerslayer. I have read many websites and discussions and one website mentioned that as the company changed hands, quality sometimes suffered. For those of you who know Ithaca over the years, could you tell me if there...

    Thanks for the replies! Would a gun made in the '60s or '70s have a mated barrel?

    Ithaca Question: numbered barrel?

    Hi, Ive been looking at Ithaca 37 shotguns because i am left-handed. Up to now I have shot a SxS. I have seen some 37s advertised with barrel and receiver having matching serial numbers. I have also seen one in a local pawn shop with no serial number on the barrel. The barrel appears to have...
