    What S&W did my wife buy?

    My wife jumped in at the deep end and picked up this used S&W based on feel and a good trigger. According to the crane it's a Model 67-3, serial is CCF4XXX, the pin is affixed to the hammer and not the frame. Barrel is stamped .38 S&W Special. Can anyone tell me if this is a "recognized"...

    P228 trigger - what to do?

    I have a NIB P228, one of the last factory versions with the P229 rail frame. My gun came nicely equipped from SiG with factory night sights and the short trigger, but here's the problem. That short trigger is very thin across the face, and the DA trigger pull on this gun, while being smooth...

    How to remove brass rub on slide?

    I have a brass streak on the rear of a Sig P228 slide that I'd like to remove. Sigs have that easily marked Nitron finish and I'm concerned that anything I use will remove that finish and end up looking much worse. Any ideas as to how best to remove it appreciated. Thanks

    Remington 870 locked up solid

    While I know my way around a pistol, pump action shotguns are new to me, and this was only my second outing with a new 870 home defence with an extended (6 + 1) factory fitted mag tube. I have maybe 50 rounds total through the gun with not so much as a hiccup, and was literally emtying out...

    British L1A1 FALs

    I'd like to buy a genuine British L1A1 but get confused by all the "sporters" out there. For example, is this one? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=144438096 Does anyone sell the real deal?

    SiG 522 - Where is it?

    I'm now seeing the new SiG 522 advertized in magazines, but I don't see a single one available for sale. Why do manufacturers do this, it's annoying to say the least. Has anyone actually seen one of these rifles for sale yet?

    Colt Umarex M4 in .22LR - any good?

    I was looking hard at one of the new Colt M4s in .22LR, they look pretty good except for that long magazine. They seem to be running arounf $550 here which seems a little steep. Anyone have one, and are they are a good buy?

    Unusual Ammo Stash - Photos

    Some of you may recal that I handled an estate sale recently that had a lot of firearms to offload, and I am still picking my way through the stuff. All the guns are gone, still have some rare magazines left, and no one wanted the holsters, so now I'm down to what's left of the ammo. No...

    Is it legal to sell reloaded ammunition?

    I don't reload myself, but I do have a quantity of reloaded ammo I obtained from a friend that is in a caliber I no longer need. Can I safely re-sell it to third parties?

    870 and 3 inch magnums OWW!

    Ran some Federal Premium 3 inch magnum #4 Buck rounds through my 18 inch 870 Express yesterday and have the bruises to prove it. The 2 3/4" standard load shells were a pleasure, I could have shot them all day, even the slugs were tolerable. But those 3 inchers - oh boy did they ever kick.

    SigPro for $400 out the door

    This is the second one of these I have seen locally, but this is the best deal so far. New 9mm sigPro for $400 out the door with night sites and 2 hi caps. These guns just seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper, military contract overrun maybe?

    Sig P232 - photos

    I just picked up a new in box, unfired Sig P232 in blue, cost me just $380, I'm pretty happy to say the least. The gun has one blemish on the slide from rough handling in the safe where it was stored for the last 2 years (it's an '07 model). It really doesn't bother me, Sigs do seem prone...

    Latest Sigpros - what should they be going for?

    Just found a local dealer who is selling NIB SP2022s with night sights for $399 and no credit card fees (only one high cap mag though). Seems pretty good, are prices dropping?

    Slugs in a Rem 870

    Is it safe to shoot slugs through an 18" Remington 870 and if so are there are slugs that are more suitable than others. Right now I have Rottweils and Remington Sluggers on hand, would both of these be ok?

    Remington 870 7 shot only takes 6 ?

    I have a new 870 with the 7 shot magazine tube, or at least I thought it was. The mag only seems willing to take 6 rounds, so is the "7 rounds" really meaning "6 + 1". If I line up 7 rounds, there barely seems to be room for them in the mag with the space required for a spring and follower...

    Which shotgun for HD?

    I'm thinking Remington 870 with a 7 round tube. But seriously, what's the pump action that you guys would recommend for general all round home defence and self defence. Thanks

    Shipping Ammunition

    As some of you know, I have been clearing an estate's firearm and ammunition collection for a deceased friend's family. Having sold the majority of his guns (just the long guns and one handgun left now) and some of the bulk ammo, I am left with a lot of collectable ammunition, boxes of Black...

    Please help me value this ammo

    As some of you know, I have been made responsible for the firearms portion of a deceased friend's estate sale. I'm just now getting into the ammo, and I found quite a lot of the attached ammo - see photo, it's Lake City 7.62NATO Match. What would be a reasonable non-gouging price per round...

    Me and the wife are heading up there on a road trip. Any suggestions for a good outdoor shooting range appreciated.
