    Age/model of American Bulldog .32 centerfire

    Trying to find some basic information about this gun. Only writing on it is along the top of the octagonal 2" barrel, "American Bulldog." I think it was probably Iver Johnson, has the original hard rubber grips with bulldog in the center and is chrome or nickle plated. It's not in working...

    Gia Castelli Bodeo model 1889

    I have been looking forward with much anticipation to shooting this gun; finally got 10.4mm ammo for it, took it out and...nothing. Looking for suggestions. It appear that the firing pin is not making contact with the primer. The pin itself appears undamaged and from photos I've seen it...

    Removing cylinder from Colt 1901

    Shot my first three or four rounds through this 1901 with no problems. When cleaning it later, put a couple drops of oil on the extractor rod and a short time later the cylinder became difficult to turn. The knob on the extractor rod screws off if I attempt to turn to the left, so obviously...

    Crude manufactured firearms

    While looking at the ATF's list of what are considered AOW's, I saw what were referred to as "crude manufacture" weapons. An acquaintance of mine has a pistol his father built when he was a kid out of a .22 rifle, which would appear to qualify. It looks like he could legally possess it if he...

    WWII 50 ca. round

    For years my Dad had a live fifty caliber round that he brought back from the big one, ww2. We would find and play with that frequently and it was around for many years. Finally he said he was going go get rid of it and we never saw it again. He passed a couple of years ago and I have no...

    To shoot, or not to shoot; that is the question

    ]I have a colt 1901 which appears to be in great shape. With it I found several boxes of .38 ammo from 1905 to 1918. Haven't tried firing it yet, would like some opinions on the advisablity of doing it and, if I do, what I should do perparatory to doing so. Beyond that, does anyone know...

    Italian steel

    I have a MIDA GIA CASTELLI MODEL 1889 – REVOLVER, built in 1918, that I'm trying to determine the value of. It's a 10.4mm weapon and surprisingly I can find ammo for it, but nothing in the way of values. Any information would be appreciated.

    Springfield/Stevens 16 ga double barrel markings??

    I just got my Dad's old model 5100 double barrel. I think I've dated it to 1952, (letter D in a circle under the breach), however there are several other letters there as well. Anyone know what they might mean? They are: G, F and E.

    S&W .38 victory gun

    I have a Colt .38 revolver, Special CTG. The serial # starts with a "V", which I understand to indicate it was a "Victory" gun, manufactured between '42 and '45. The mystery I need solved is the word, "England", stamped on the cylinder. Also not sure what the "CTG" stands for. There is no...
