Kahr Arms is about to release a double stack 9mm auto, with what are being said to be some unique features. They're being cagey so no idea about any details.

Apparently Hoppe's has gone metric on their cleaning gear and brushes will no longer fit American SAE threaded rods. I recently bought a Hoppe's Tornado shotgun brush and two 9mm pistol brushes. The packages specifically state that the shotgun brush is the standard 5/16x27 threads, and the...

I've recently updated my stock finishing technique for getting an old style oil finish. Link to the original post on using Minwax Antique Oil Finish to do a tougher old style oil finish......... https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/how-to-do-the-worlds-best-oil-finish.240961/ I...

Option One, send it to Master Colt pistolsmith Frank Glenn. He's a member on the Colt Forum and has done great work for other members. He works to Colt factory standards and techniques. His prices, turnaround, and quality are excellent. He can install a new replacement bolt and give the gun a...

WRONG. About 22 years ago I fully loaded a 30 round Okay Industries military surplus magazine and put it in my gun case with my old AR-15 Carbine, "just in case". Today I took my new Colt M4 LE6920 to the range and decided the magazine had sat long enough if the spring was going to weaken or...

According to the news, the poor wild animals that had to be shot in Ohio were shot with "High powered scopes" unquote.

For some reason, I can't get to Brownell's main web site. When I try, I get a download file I can't open. I can get to SOME of the web site by using a search engine, but even once in the site when I attempt to get to the main page, I get a download. Is it me or has Brownell's changed...

I was looking at my buddies new Rock River Match rifle, and a couple of AR-15 books he brought. I noticed something I've wondered about before. On nearly all AR-15 and AR-10 type rifles there's a raised vertical mark in the upper receiver, over the locking pin bulge. Any idea what this is...

My buddy is a National Match shooter who made the President's 100 one year, so he's no duffer. His Match M1A's are due for an overhaul, and he's thinking of selling one and buying a Target grade AR-15 rifle in .223/5.56mm. He's looking at Bushmaster and Rock River Arms target models. Rock...

I've heard rumblings from Kahr that they will be introducing a new .380 auto smaller than the Micro guns, sometime after the first of the year.

I've decided to buy one of Ohio Rapid Fires AK-74 rifles in 5.45x39 with wood stock and Ohio Ordnance Factory receiver. It sounds like exactly what I want, chrome bore, threaded muzzle, and Bulgarian parts. Anyone have an opinion on Ohio Rapid Fire, OOF, or the Bulgarian kits? Thanks.

I have an early Kahr K9 stainless steel, in which ONLY the slide, frame, and magazine are actually stainless steel. The barrel, slide stop, slide end cover, trigger, and most all other parts are actually hard chromed carbon steel that looks like stainless. I have a relative who wants to...

A friend of mine has an old Pre-War Walther target rifle he'd like to find out about. I found only a limited amount of info on it, and no longer have my reference books that cover this type of rifle. It's a Walther bolt-action single shot .22LR rifle with a 26" heavy barrel and target type...

A relative is in the process of buying a Walther post-war PP pistol imported by Interarms. Are there any online serial number references where I can get a production date ? Thanks.

I hate doing wood work and especially stock refinishing, but over a 30 year career and for person use I was forced to do so enough to finally find a GOOD oil finish that looks like a real custom oil finish should look like. Here's my directions to get a true custom gun oil finish with the...

I no longer have many of my old references, and I have a chance to buy an older post-war Marlin 39-A with Ballard Rifling. I'm quite familiar with Marlin's "Micro-Groove" rifling and the later 39 series rifles, but I've long since forgotten exactly what Ballard rifling is compared to standard...

As a "heads up" Remington has introduced an new BLACK FINISH Magnum Marine 870 shotgun. It comes with a sling, magazine extension, and a magazine type Speedfeed stock. Apparently the finish is some sort of rust resistant salt water finish. It's the new Remington Model 870 XCS Magnum...

Due to the increased use of Bore snakes, and reports of snakes breaking off in the bore, I contacted Michael's of Oregon about what they recommend as an extraction method. Their answer: I've heard numerous extraction methods, but the only thing that we recommend is for the individual not...
