Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a long time. Other than maintenance, I haven't been dealing with my gun collection much lately, but I do have a question concerning it: I have been looking at values online recently. A lot of completed auctions on gunbroker. My focus has always primarily been...

Forgive my ignorance, but I drift in and out of following gun stuff depending on my interest level. A couple of years ago I bought a Charter Arms .41 Magnum revolver when they first came out. Just now, however, I searched Gunbroker and found nothing on them. Didn't see them at Bud's, and I...

Bought a 1941 Romanian issue Beretta model 1934 pistol in .380. Cool gun, cycles all ammo great, accurate, but has light strikes with some ammo. Ammo I've had issues with: Armscor, Magtech and Maxxtech. Didn't have probs with PMC, but only put 50 rounds of that stuff through it. And 25 rounds of...

I love my .38 Colt Diamondback, but it's an expensive revolver that I don't want to shoot because the factory wood target grips make the recoil against my middle (and maybe even ring) finger somewhat painful. In other words, there's not enough room between the back of the trigger guard and the...

I bought a CZ-52 surplus within the last year or so, and while the gun has been 100% reliable, it was nowhere near as accurate as this chambering (7.62 x 25) was reputed to be. I thought about replacing the barrel, and found new-ish or used ones on ebay. Then I found a place online called SARCO...

There is a pretty decent shape sporterized .303 Enfield for a low price at a LGS. I don't mind that it's sporterized (stock shortened in fore-end...as typical) because I had one years ago, but got rid of it because the bore was shot out. The barrel and bore on this one seems good. (I'm sorry...

Or heard about expected delivery dates? They're on Hi Point's website. From conversations I found online dating back a couple of months, it was sounding kind of tentative. Didn't know if things had changed since then. I also heard a pistol in 10mm was discussed, but see nothing on the website...

I bought a safe from Sentry that is rated for water and fire protection. It is rated for security, as well. It is a non-electronic combination lock safe, weighs about 125 pounds. I wanted it to store some pistols in, so it's a smaller unit that stands about 2 feet high, and won't take rifles. It...

And they'll get a fair bit for it, it looks like. Bidding was at $3200 with 5 days to go. I don't know if it's ever been shot...I didn't read the whole description, but it looks brand new even as a pre-model. The finish is so clean that I thought it was bright blue at first, but it's just the...

Why are the grips on my Colt Diamondback signed (and apparently dated) on the inside of the panel? Is it a common thing to do that if the gun has reproduction or refinished grips, or if the gun is reblued? Or was somebody just marking the gun as his in case of theft? I've seen one other set of...

Hi. I have a Colt Diamondback from 1968 in pretty good shape, but not perfect. It's a nice shooter, but I don't shoot it much. I shot it a lot today, though, and noticed that when I was cleaning it, a little bit of the matte part of the finish on the top of the barrel and frame (to keep the...

I bought a Ruger SR40c a few years ago. I shot it a few times, then hadn't played with it for a while. I remember that back when I was shooting it more often, it had a couple hiccups, but I couldn't remember what they were, so I went shooting with it again today to refresh my memory. I shot...

Or K-32 Masterpiece as we often like to say. The ad says 1959, so it's going to be a 4 screw, I believe, which makes it even better. I'd love to have it...I consider it a true holy grail gun, but a starting bid of almost $3000 says, "no." I thought it was worth showing you guys, though. Maybe...

Does anyone have the Magnum Research 1911U Undercover pistol in .45 ACP? Or have you shot one? What do you think of it? There was a review by GunsAmerica on youtube, and they presented it as a well made gun, but one with some reliability issues. I've heard that short barreled 1911's can have...

Thanks to everyone for their input on my earlier question about the best ammo for my new old CZ 52. I went shooting today, and the gun cycled 25 rounds of S&B and 25 rounds of PPU without any sort of hiccup or malfunctions, so I'm very pleased with that. The accuracy, I'd say, is more than...

Just got a surplus CZ 52, 1953 issue. Haven't shot it yet. Don't see a lot of different ammo brands out there in the Tokarev 7.62 x 25, but I got a box of S&B with the gun, and ordered some PPU, which I haven't received yet. Haven't found a source on surplus ammo - I hear they've dried up. Any...

I'd like to get a set of black shrouded Bianchi Lightning Grips for one of my more heavily used model 36's (round grip frame), but can't seem to find any. (I'm aware they are no longer being made.) None on GB or ebay right now. Are you seeing any anywhere?? What kind of money are people asking...

I know nothing about swords. But I found some of those inexpensive ceremonial swords, and bought them for my two kids. They are ornate, but have no sharpened edge, and are intended primarily for decorative purposes. Nevertheless, my kids are VERY excited to get them (they haven't arrived yet.)...

One of my model 36's came with a spurless hammer...sort of a chopped off looking thing. Kind of ugly, but the gun was cheaply priced, and an otherwise decent gun. But I found a complete and good spurred hammer. I've taken a couple of K frames completely apart and put them back together...

I saw them advertised as guns with significant finish wear, but at prices well below used Browning Hi Powers (which aren't that easy to find, anyway.) Are the FN's decent guns? I know FN is a great company, but are their Hi Powers as good as the Brownings? How are they different from Brownings...
