Did he close up shop? The website is down, don't know for how long.

Just got my Pedersoli Howdah pistol! I'll take some pics soon. For now, I'm getting familiar with it. And also looking for a nipple pick. I stupidly decided to try dry firing by putting several layers of cloth over the nipples. Cut right through and now they're packed with cloth! I tend to...

I've finally saved up enough money for another gun, and it's down to two. One is a modern abomination which I won't mention here. The other is a good converted 1860 repro of the earlier Richards conversion, if such a thing even exists at present. I absolutely prefer the aesthetics and...

Did a search, didn't come up with anything. Has anyone bought one of these monstrosities? http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=655946 They're supposed to come in in a week. I'm tempted to throw away money on one, just to have it. Cheaper than a Beta C at least. I bet...

In the modern schools of pistol shooting, one-handed shooting is pretty much only done if one of your hands is otherwise occupied. However, how well do the "armchair commandos" here think it'd work as a primary technique, for someone who does not have the time, motivation, or cashola to...

It's not often I make this kind of post, but I just found something crazy, and had to share. http://www.horstheld.com/0-Confederate.htm I think the gun speaks for itself, and no comment I could make would add to it.

Can someone with an M500 that they can remove the tube from, tell me how many coils their spring has? I ordered a tube spring from Numrich, and got what appears to be a generic, user-cuts-to-length spring. All's I have is a Serbu Super Shorty spring, so I don't know how long the original was...

Okay, weird question. It's been established that an SBR cannot be used as a "concealed weapon" type of AOW without first re-registering it, apparently in conjunction with the concealment device, as an AOW. I assume it's something like the "dual registry" of machine guns which are also...

Do the 20" 8+1 shot models use the exact same magazine spring as the standard 5+1 shot ones? Given that extensions for the 535 and Rem 870 never need a new spring, I'm guessing they do.

Any ideas? I've got a parked gun that rusted many moons ago, and it's still slightly brownish-gray and spotty in places where it was the worst. The rust hasn't progressed at all, but I just can't get rid of it. Tried a few cleaning products, and scrubbing with an old bronze bore brush...

Like the thread title says. My main concern is prices may go up. There are a couple dealers that are sticking to their old prices for now, or at least really close to 'em. But how long will that last? I've been sorta wanting an MPA10 for awhile. Is now the time to buy? Should I just...

If I moved to Maryland, what kind of indignities would I need to endure, as a gun owner? Registration of already-owned handguns? Neutered magazines? AWB? I already know that a CCW permit would never happen. I've told myself I'd never move to one of "those" states, but need for a job and...

Something that's been puzzling me for awhile. Why does the US Army use a belt-fed machinegun as a squad automatic? My best guess is that it's just tradition, an extension of the "horse cannon" concept, in which a team of men can move a tripod-mounted machine gun from place to place on a...

I'm starting to look really hard at investing my own hard-earned cash into this idea. How many of you would actually buy 12 gauge slug ammunition which: *Exceeds 12" penetration in properly calibrated ballistic gelatin, bare and with 4 layer denim *Does not penetrate beyond a single...

What companies make bullet casting molds to custom specifications? I need one that can make a very large bullet, about 2.5" to 3" long. The biggest Lee will make is 1.25" long.

In a word, wow! My Serbu Super Shorty is now a genuine pleasure to shoot. My hands are not sore at all after firing 3 target loads and 3 full power 2-3/4" slugs. Not a lot, I know, but I had just finished shooting at the rifle range and I was getting hot and sweaty and tired from jogging...

Seems like, if you're using a shotgun defensively, loading the first round that way needlessly complicates the manual of arms and could also magnify operator error under stress, for almost no benefit at all. Speed? Pull slide back, grab shell, put in ejection port, push slide forward...

With all the recent talk on sticks (at least it seems that way to me), I had an idea. Wood can really only be so dense. Most hardwoods top out at a specific gravity of about 1 (equal in density to water). But what about something like this...

Just picked the gun up yesterday. Transferred by Scott of Bloodhound arms. All around great guy, fast response to inquiries, and the lowest title II transfer price I've seen, at $50. If you're in SW PA, he's the NFA dealer to use. Only problem is he can't do destructive devices on his...

Am I insane, or what? 58.3 gr weight of 4F will fit in the tip of the rocket, which is below the legal limit of 1/4 ounce (109.375 gr). At this point, I'm thinking streamer stabilization would be the best bet, to keep the OAL from springing out too much. The motors are 0.70" diameter and...
