    Wolff & Lane?

    I've been asked to help someone sell this rifle which has been in their family for generations and belonged to a great, great, great, great, great grandfather, or something along those lines. It's marked "Wolff & Lane, Pittsburgh" on the side of the receiver area and has a personal name...

    Light strikes in DA

    A few days ago I picked up a used Model 38 Air weight Bodyguard. According to the store owner (yea, I know) it was a cops off duty weapon. The finish is only about 30% but the crane is without free play and the lockup, while not what I'd call tight, isn't what I'd call loose either. Visually...

    Pocket revolver size/weight chart?

    I'm curious if there's a size/weight chart for the different pocket sized revolvers, much like there is for the pocket autos. I know the 642 is popular, but I'd still like to see a chart comparing all the different revolvers, their sizes and weights. Thanks for any info.

    AMT .45 Backup, Yay or Nay?

    I don't know what the fascination is for me with tiny guns in big calibers, but I've always had it and have indulged it on more than one instance. So knowing that weakness a few weeks ago I was at a local gun show and a guy was selling an AMT Backup in .45 ACP. I was with the SO, so I didn't...

    Value of unfired A.S.M. Navy revolver

    About 15 or 20 years ago I bought this revolver brand new from a gun store that was going out of business. I've never developed any interest in shooting black powder revolvers so it's sat unfired in my safe ever since. I forgot all about it until I recently saw a local gun store offering a...

    What's wrong with Lee reloaders?

    I'm a long time reloader on a single stage press and am considering the move to a turret or progressive. Yes, I know "save up and buy the Dillon 550". But before I do that can someone tell me just exactly what is wrong with the Lee progressive and turret loaders? I know the Classic Turret...

    Proper disposal of dud ammo

    I've got a bunch of Pakistan 303 milsurp ammo which I bought it for my No4 Mk1 Enfield. The problem is it doesn't go bang, I've tried about 10 rounds and all are duds. Other ammo works fine in my rifle, so I'm assuming that the Paki ammo is junk, and several online sources backs up this...

    Help with ID on this S&W revolver

    Recently after doing some work for a client and knowing me for a gun lover, when I presented them with the bill they trotted out this old Smith revolver (pics below) and offered to trade me for the work I did...which of course I did, considering that the gun is probably worth twice the amount of...

    Price check, sporterized Springfield.

    This is a sporterized 03A3 Springfield. I'm guessing it was sporterized at least 30 years ago by how long my father in law says his brother has had it stored. I may be interested in buying it from him and I want to tell him what a fair price for it is. I haven't examined it in person so I...

    Help me ID this 22 rifle

    Greetings! My father in law was given this rifle by his brother who had it in his attic for many years. The only marking he can find is "550 I". Any help is appreciated.

    Dan Wesson 22

    Today some old friends of mine gave me a gun as thanks for a bunch of work I've done for them and I'm trying to collect as much info about it as I can. Needless to say, I was thrilled to get it and they knew I would be. It's a Dan Wesson 22 revolver and it appears to like new. It's still in...
