I won this little beauty on GB, was the only bidder. A Traditions SAA by Pietta in 44 magnum. When it arrived I discovered that the gun was not safe to shoot in its condition. The cylinder did not lock up on 3 chambers and would rotate left to right while the hammer was pulled back or at rest...

I didn't want to hijack my own thread when @Jonny2guns displayed his knife that @hso identified as being made by Anzas. I looked at their website and they do make some beautiful knives. I notice one that appeared to be made from a farrier's rasp. I guess they make a lot of theirs from old...

On the way to my mother-in -law's home in Spokane I like to take a stop at the Buck Knife factory in Post Falls, Idaho just down the road. I haven't yet takene was a tour but that is definitely on my to-do list. But they have a store there where they display all their different knives and...

I am looking at bidding on a S&W model 17 on gunbroker. The seller has an A+ with only one previous sale. Currently there are no bids and the clock runs ou tomorrow afternoon. Are sellers vetted in any way by Gunbroker. I realize these guys have to start with 0 sales to make their first sale...

I've generally been turned off by such a long barrel on any revolver. It looks cumbersome and difficult to carry or draw from a holster. I don't think I've ever even held one. And I don't see them on the shelves at the LGS or big box stores like Cabelas I understand that the longer sight...

I traded a guy yesterday for a CZ 85 Combat. I've never even handled a CZ handgun before so I'm not familiar with the nomenclature about CZs. In short the grips were customized for him and I said I would send them back when I got some new ones. I'm not sure if the frame of this CZ 85 Combat is...

I have never used an electronic powder dispenser or have ever seen one used in person. I would like some recommendations on what is accurate and easy to use. RCBS has a Chargemaster 1500 combo for under $200. What other dispensers are out there for under $400 that you trust to be a good...

Wondering what ya'lls experience with this online sight is. I saw that they have a real business in Alabama (I think) so they must be brick and mortar business. But they seem to get really lousy ratings/ reviews. I am looking at a Cimarron revolver that is about $150 cheaper than a used one on...

that make me wonder what it would be like to live in Arizona. I hear February is beautiful there. It seems there are several U-tubers live there and shoot in the desert and the country looks really interesting. Never been there but I think I would love to spend part of my winters in Arizona...

There has been so much talk and love on THR for the 44 Special that I had to find out what it is all about. It took a while and some horse trading (and a chunk of change on my part) but I finally scored a very special SPECIAL, a 4" S&W model 24-3. This gun looks to be about 99.5% condition...

Someone has offered to sell me a Raging Bull/ Hunter (not sure which). He said he would give me a good deal on it but we haven't discussed price. I've looked all over the web but I can't find anything relatively recent on people's thoughts and experiences. I don't know anything really about...

Someone mentioned a possible trade for a rifle I have. He said he had a S&W 44 Thunder Ranch. I looked that model up and learned it is either a Model 21 or 22,he didn't specify. Just from reading threads on other forums the revolver didn't seem to be well constructed or just problematic. What...

I didn't want to steal the other current thread about the 44 specials so I opened a new one. What does the 44 Special bring to the table that a 44 mag does not? Or even a 45 Colt? I have 2 of each but I certainly could be convinced that I really need a Special. What I seem to have gleaned...

Someone has offered to trade a Fusion 10 mm "Bear Edition" used for a (NIB) Henry 41 mag. I haven't a clue about this 1911 as far as value or reliability, and the interweb is all over the place about Fusion firearms. Can anyone with experience enlighten me?

I don't have but maybe a half pound of unique so for the last 2-3 years I haven't been loading with it. Yesterday at a local sports store I saw some Unique on the shelf. But at $52 a pound I passed. That's twice or more than what I paid in 2019(?), and I know prices have risen, but I would...

I have been making knives from old files. This is getting to be a pretty fun hobby. I just bought a small forge and want to start heat treating. First thing I want to do is anneal the handles so that I can drill some holes in the to attach scales. My questions are 1) do you heat the blade...

1. New/unfired Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt. I took it to the range today for its first outing. I was shooting my reloads (H110 under a 250 grain cast). With those black plastic Ruger grips that was the most unenjoyable gun I have ever fired, but that wasn't the problem. Three cases had...

If you ever get out that way be sure to make a trip to the Buck knife factory. M-F about 8am to 5 pm. I haven't taken the tour but you can get some good deals there if you are a veteran or LEO or retired. As in a 30% discount. I picked these up together for less than I could buy one at retail...

I've made some knives out of old files and farriers rasps. I went around a bought up a bunch of files and rasps for about $1-3 each. I'v had some success designing, cutting and filing the blades into knives. They are no things of beauty but possibly functional. Even made some micarta and...

"Texas residents must pay sales tax of 8.25% along with the new MPF states per new "Market Facilitator" Laws which include most states as of April 2021." I saw this on a gun auction on GB. From what I can find this has to do with Ag commodities. Why would this be added onto the end of a...
