I was wondering if I could get someone who owns a Sig P226 to measure the diameter of its recoil spring guide rod. The reason is I am hoping to be able to use aftermarket recoil springs intended for the P226 in a Charles Daly ZDA (actually a Zastava CZ 999 Scorpion) that I recently acquired...

Someone in a Singapore-based discussion forum just posted his response to the VT incident: Here is the relevant page of the thread with the post (it's about halfway down). Yeesh! That post is riddled with so many misconceptions, inaccuracies and outright lies that I don't even know where...

Hello, all. I have a 44 Mag Ruger Super Blackhawk with the 10.5” barrel that I purchased new a few years back. The barrel on the gun has always been “off index” by about 10 degrees to the right. In other words, viewed from the rear, the front sight is tilted to the right by about 10...

So I checked my mailbox a moment ago and noticed a letter from G&A, marked "Immediate Attention Required". I have never had dealings with G&A, and my first thought was that it was just another magazine subscription offer. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and discovered it was a "Magazine...

Hello, all. I have a quick 9mm reloading question that I wish to pose to the experts in this forum. But first, a little background: I recently acquired some Rainier 9mm 124 gr. FP projectiles to handload 357 Sig cartridges for a SigPro SP2340. I have handloaded tens of thousands of 9mm...

I am in the process of reloading my first batch of 380ACP cartridges for my recently-acquired Bersa Thunder 380. I am using brass from a 100-round box of WWB 95 gr. 380ACP ammo that I had previously fired through the gun to break it in (the Thunder 380 is surprisingly accurate, by the way!)...

Hello, all. Earlier today, I was in the process of handloading some 9mm cartridges, when I came across the following case: Notice the case is primed, meaning that I completely failed to catch this defective piece of brass in all of the previous case preparation steps leading to the...

CDNN is currently running a special on SIG pistols (actually, come to think of it, they seem to always be running specials on SIG pistols!), and I've always wanted to add one to my collection. I've heard good things about the SP2340, and CDNN's price was definitely in my territory (read...

Hello, all. Last Friday, a couple of friends and I were at the local range. One of my friends, Jim, was firing his "military unissued" Yugo SKS for the first time, using Wolf ammunition. As we were stationed at separate benches firing our own rifles, we were not monitoring each other...

Hello, all. I just purchased a 24" Bull Barrel AR-15 Kit from J & T Distributing. Upon examining the bore, I noticed some kind of obstruction at the gas port. I managed to knock out most of the obstruction--it was obviously a metal burr from when they drilled the hole. However, there is...

Hello, all. (I posted this question in "Gunsmithing" but it hasn't garnered any responses, so I though I'd post it in a forum with heavier traffic.) Does anyone know how to remove the extractor on a Steyr M40 pistol? I am sending the slide in for a refinish, and need to completely...
