I've got a Ruger Mk3 Deluxe .22 pistol, which is awesome except for the stupid rear sight blade. The Deluxe has the Hunter style sights (fiber optic front and adjustable rear) with a V-Notch blade, which is driving me nuts. I'd like to pick up a conventional square notch blade, but can't seem to...
I am thinking about installing a bushing on a revolver with .005 endshake. However, the cylinder gap on this gun varies from .006-.007. If I do not square up the yoke but still install the bushing, what result would occur?
Is a revolver that has a cylinder gap of .007in with the cylinder held back, and a gap of ~.002in with the cylinder pushed fully forward within normal specs for Smith and Wesson?
I know that many people despise these threads, but why not?
I am currently looking a S&W 28 (6"), for $350. There is some bluing wear on the muzzle, and some small scratches in the cylinder's blue (but no damage to the actual metal). Everything else is clean (has a pair of what look like...
A call out to the resident Colt afficianados:
In my research it seems there ia a common thread that the original lockwork in double-action Colt revolvers, while producing a tight lockup and good trigger pull, has a tendancy to go out of time when shooting magnum loads. Compounding the...
How do revolvers go out of time / develop endshake, etc?
Is it the mechanism of the gun being cycled, or the stresses from firing that cause this? I.e. can you wear a revolver by dry-firing it, or does it only develop when the gun is actually fired?
Would, say, a .357 Mag gun lose its...
I'm curious, how durable is a nickel finish? When it does wear, how noticeable is it? Lastly, I have heard that some cleaning solvents (Hoppes being cited) will eat through the plating; how much of a concern is this?
A question to SU-16 owners: How is your rifle holding up?
I know that some people had voiced concerns about the durability of the SU-16, but now that the rifle has been out for several years what have owners found in regards to durability?
A notion seems to be floating around the internet that the Browning Hi-Power is a (relatively) fragile pistol. I've read that they cannot stand up to +P ammunition use, and that the frame has an approximately 30,000 round service life. How does the HP's durability rate compared to similar 9x19...
I know how we all love comparison threads, but for some reason I have the insatiable desire to start one.
Anyway, my question is in regards to full size (L&N frame) .357 magnum DA revolvers. Specifically, I am thinking of the Ruger GP-100, S&W 586/686, and S&W 28. I'm interested in one for...
...is to be expected for a device relying on a large spring. My only real dissapointment was the cheap string used to release the trap. It snapped *twice* on me during this session. If you buy one of these traps plan on replacing the string out of the box.
Overall, for a $30 I would heartily...
Anyone here have any experience with the Remington Genesis? I am considering one for my first muzzleloader. The gun will be used with iron sights for deer hunting out to 50ish yards.
I was checking out CZ's site and noticed that the CZ75 "SA" variant is listed as having an ambidexterous safety:

Is this true or is it an error in the specs?
When you buy a gun at a gunshow in Illinois you still have to sit through the waiting period (one day for longs guns, three for handguns). How does this transaction work? The show only lasts one day, do you have to travel to pick the gun up for wait until the next show?
I'm looking at a gun right now that seems to be in pretty reasonable condition (esp. considering its age), but there is a small dent at the muzzle. It doesn't go into the bore, rather it is like the outside contour of the barrel is slightly flattened there. The blueing in worn on that section...
