Hello, A friend of mine is looking for a side by side Beretta 486 Paralello, but he must order it - it's not available at the store. On the Berretta site I found two guns with different product codes, but the exact same specification - 12 gauge with 3" chambers, 30" barrels, English stock with...

Hello. A friend of mine, which doesn't speak the language, asks for advise - he is in the process of building a long range bolt rifle in 6.5x55SE and hesitates between the two barrel manufacturers, Krieger and Shilen. Could you please give your opinion on what is the better option to choose and...

Hello, Does anyone have pictures, or schematics, or even descriptions of a disassembled FN/Browning/Saive Grand Rendement pistol, model of 1927 (the 16 round version from 1926 will also be OK)? I'm particularly interested in the hammer mechanism - is it an "en block" design, like Mr. Stevens...

Hello gentleman - long time no see... A Bulgarian collector recently posted pictures of an interesting Remington NMA - it appers to be made in Russia, by the gunsmith Nikolay Goltiakov in the city of Tula. The problem is that there isn't any information for such revolvers - Russian made Colts...

Hello. I have a request for the owners of Savage MSR 15 Recon rifles - can you please check if your tension adjustment screw for the upper has a plastic top, or it's just plain steel? Only interested in the OEM screws, not the aftermarket ones. The reason I'm asking is because a friend of mine...

Hello there, movie/gun nerds. I thought that it will be interesting for you to share some info about the revolver that Hellboy character is using in the third part of the sequel - as I understand it it's unofficially called "Devil revolver". So, this is basically a Gasser M1870, but heavily...

I have stumbled upon something rather interesting: the new 7.6 Creedmoor. From the article: "In creating the new 7.6 Creedmoor, the product engineers were primarily concerned with accuracy, reliablity, and compatibility. In a brilliant marketing stroke, the 7.6 Creedmoor’s designers crafted...

Hello, I plan a short tourist trip to Minneapolis area this fall so I was wondering: What are the legal options for a folding carry knife for a foreign citizen (B-2 tourist visa)? I plan to take a one hand opening lockback knife with 3.7" blade, so I would appreciate any input about it. And, if...

Hello, A recent thread here sparked my interest (purely historical) about the origins of the birdshead grips, but only on Colt 1873 type revolvers. From my limited search on the subject I gathered the following (quite brief) information: - Colt introduced the birdshead SAA model as a standard...

Hello, I'm in the process of installing iron sights on a rimfire rifle that does not have any, so I can't take measurements. I will use a Brno 1 50/75/100m adjustable rear sight, but will be milling from a billet the front one (probably). Since I don't have much experience with .22LR, could you...

A disclaimer first - I don't intent to bash on other people, fellow members and etc. but just to offer some thoughts on the subject. I just read a recent thread in another gun forum in which the OP was discussing his chain fire experience. Nothing out of the ordinary - both the shooter and the...

Hello, A local company (Manly knives) just released a new folder - a slipjoint knife with 3 inch blade, reversible pocket clip and G10 handle with steel inserts. I believe that one of the steels for the blade will be D2. I plan to get the mentioned knife as a gift for a friend in the UK, as it...

Hello, do you know if there are aftermarket nipples available for the said revolver, or what size is the nipple thread?

Hi, recently I started to warm up to the idea of a simple friction folder that will be used mainly for leather cutting, plug tobacco slicing, some light carving and etc. I have settled for the bellow showed model by Nagao Kanecoma, but my question is: it's Aogami super blue, OK, but is it really...

Hello, I was just watching the new video from Balázs Németh (Youtube's capandball channel) about the different Remington revolver models - he made a brief comparison between the original Remington-Beals and the New Model Army. One thing that got my attention was the bolt design in Beals - single...

Since several members here mentioned that they were looking for such type of stock, I thought to share a Facebook post from Westernguns.fr: https://www.facebook.com/westernguns/posts/1434438803272207 It says that the stock is still a prototype, but it does not hurt for the interested to make an...

Confessing your sins, or the holy sacrament of repentance, has an important role in the Orthodox Christianity... This is a picture of the brand new Mikhail Kalashnikov monument in Moscow, Russia. By the time I'm posting this the controversial plague is already removed. With an angle grinder, in...

Since the last thread discussing movie weapons was closed, for one reason or another, I have a couple of questions (It's more like a rant, really): Why is it, that every time someone mentions a movie gun, someone has to pop up and say: "Since the brother in law of the second assistant director...

Hello, A friend of mine has a S&W CS9 pistol with broken extractor claw. Our local S&W distributor is, let's put it politely, not quite helpful... And S&W does not deal with foreign customers directly, only thru the distributor. So we are left with the option to search for some aftermarket part...

Hello, this is not exactly a gunsmithing question, but more of an informational one - can someone confirm my suspicions, that the new MIM safety levers on Browning Hi-Powers are of a one piece design? I'm interested in this offering from Midway...
