A friend recently came into possession of this 1911 and a Spanish auto. Neither he nor I shoot or collect 1911's, so our knowledge of the value of this gun is limited, and we are seeking an unbiased opinion of it's worth, as well as the little Spanish pocket pistol. Any opinions of...

Would someone enlighten me on what the difference is between these suffixes on the Model 19? At first I thought it was the barrel length, but looking round the 'net I see that isn't so. . . So what do the different #'s refer to?

Cancelled due to me being an idiot.

Anybody have any experience with the 20-80 x 80 Winchester spotting scope? Saw one today in the latest Sportsmans Guide. They've got it for a bit over $200.00. I'm in the market for one. . . I know that when it comes to optics, you pay for what you get. . . I'd love to be able to afford a...

Well, I finally went ahead and had the hammers bobbed on my SW pre-model 37, and my Ruger SP101. I had been debating with myself for awhile, but I finally decided that it made sense. I view these guns, as I do all my guns, as tools. I know some SW afficiandio's may feel I've ruined the...

Some time ago, can't remember if it was on this forum, or another one, there was a posting showing how to fit out a large tool box with foam rubber to fit a broken down AR. Anybody have that site bookmarked? I thought I did, but I can't find it. Like to do this on my holiday vacation. . .

Here in NYS we still have a limit on high cap (>10 rnds) magazines. Does anyone make reduced capcity mags for the BHP?

How do you tell if a piece has a round butt vs square butt? I have a Chief's Special Airweight (pre model M37) that I would like to get new grips for, but I'm not sure about it's "butt". With the grips removed, it looks pretty "square" to me, except the front to the grip frame does have a bit...

Is there a good Smith & Wesson forum online? I want to educate myself regarding the different models, "J", "K", and "N" frame info, etc.

I have an older (150-series) Ruger Sec. Six, and I am looking for the push-type speedloader for it. Anybody know who might carry one?

I have been shooting some OLD (early 70's) wadcutter ammo out of my 3" SP101, and I have gotten some kind of discoloration on the outside of the cylinder, towards the barrel end, on the raised parts of the cylinder. It won't come off with Hoppes, or Slick 2000 cleaner (water based degreaser)...

Ok people--it's that time of year again. Vacation time. And in the FG household that means books! So, let's get some of your favorite reads listed, especially, but not exclusively, some more recent books. I'm partial to non-fiction--military history, true crime, bios. etc. So, uh, I'll...

Harrisburg Gun Show this weekend. One of, if not the biggest here in the East. Any THR's besides me going?

So I'm perusing the latest issue of Popular Science, and I see a blurb about an affordable jewerly cleaning machine ("GemOro Sparkle Spa--$50.00), and I think, "hey, I wonder if that would work on gun parts?" I was thinking things like AR bolts, pistol barrels---obviously smaller parts...

Is the SU-16 legal in NYS? I would think the "C" model would not be as it has a threaded barrel, and folding buttstock (that can still be shot when folded). But the previous "A" & "B" models cannot be shot when the buttstock is folded, it has no pistol grip, nor bayonet lug. But does the...

Seems I may have done a dumb thing. Just sent a money order to a guy for a Bushie upper. He tells me that the flash suppressor is pinned on a threaded barrel. Well, don't you know that here in NYS, with our very own state AWB, a threaded barrel is one of the things on the "verboten" list. I...

Just got my Kahr K9 back from Mac's Shootin Irons Restorations. He refinished it in satin nickel. Gun was over 8 years old, and, looking at the "before" photos I took, looks like either the bluing was wearing off, or someone had tried to "re-blue" it themselves (I got the gun used). In any...

I had several websites for various grip companies, Hogue, Ajax, etc. on my computer. But this past spring that hard drive bit the dust, and I hadn't saved my "favorites" onto a CD. (I have now!) Can someone point me to a link if this has already been posted, or give me the sites of some of...

Can someone tell me how (or point me to somewhere that does) to dissassemble the slide on my K9. I want to get the striker, extractor, etc out for cleaning. I was shown how to do this with my Glock 19 when I took an LFI class, and it seems similar on the Kahr. However, I can't seem to get the...

Just wondering what (approx.) a 30 round (or 28 for you under-loaders) AR mag weighs?--that is fully loaded. I'm trying to get an idea of what our GI's and Marines are lugging around weight-wise. I know they're wearing body armor, and that's not so light, plus grenades, a Camlebak or like...
