My local pawn shop has a 1903 colt pocket hammer in 38acp, I’ve been looking them up but it’s difficult to find good values on them as one small thing seems to make a $500 gun worth $1500. So with that being said The pawnshop has one listed at $750 on consignment but they said he would go lower...

I’m looking at Sig P320 M17’s I’ve narrowed it to that but should I get the manual safety version or the non safety version? I’m used to 1911’s so the safety doesn’t bother me but fondling one in the Gun shop seems like it may be in an awkward spot. Anyone shot one or both?

Ok I have what I think is a dumb question but I would rather be safe than sorry. I have a Remington 700p that I think has a bedded stock. I would really like to find out but I honestly don't know if taking the stock off would screw up accuracy. I'm thinking I will be safe but I want to know for...

Well I know the 5r has many threads and I've read a number of them but my question is a little different I hope. Back story is a guy my dad works with is getting married therfore he is downsizing his collection. He has on consignment at a local gun store a Remington 700 5R in 300 win mag(or...

I have been loading 38spl with 5.5grns of AA#5 and a magma 158 BB LSWC. This has been a VERY accurate load out of my S&W model 19, more than once I've been able to put all 6 shots with in roughly a silver dollar size area at 25yards. But the problem I'm having is there is so much soot and...

I am going to an auction this weekend and they have a Dillion that I think is a square deal(4 position, auto index, short frame). the problem is I don't know if all the pieces are there, and it's in a box of other reloading stuff so of course the auction company won't know. I do know it looked...

I just picked up a Norinco 372(I think) in any case it's the copy of the Ithica 37 but this one is one of the older models without ghost rings or a heat shield. I got it from a friend for $100, which I thought what the heck I already have ton of shotguns but for one bill I could probably trade...

I just bought some M1 garand clips loaded with some peteres headstamped 30G/906 with wax cardboard bullets is the brass safe to use? I was planning on pulling the cardboard bullets and using the brass. Any ideas

My father and I are finally going to take up handgun deer hunting, we will also have shotguns which will be the primary firearm but we both decided to take the handguns out this season. So needless to say I'm all ready to get a deer with my handloads. the only problem is I don't have a clue what...

I just took my 308win Remington 700PSS out to the range for the first time in awhile and after I got home I noticed it was leaving very noticeable lines in the middle of the cases, which look like weak spots in the brass now. All of these cases were my personal reloads, staring loads to so I...

Hi all, I was at a garage sale the other day and ran across 2 AR10 mags for $20, one an Armalite 10rnd and the other looks like a converted USGI M14 20rnd. By the title my question is obvious but by the laws of the 1994 ban I know the mags had to work in both rifles. But I have also read about...

I just picked up a $10 plain Jain Zippo at Walmart the other day and of course I can't just leave it like that. So my original idea was to go in a vintage WWII direction by Parkerizing both the insert and the outside case(inside because I want it black/matte) and then after park, duracoat the...

Just something about "used old" guns that I can't get over, regardless if it be a M1 garand, P&R smith, Browning A5, or one of the classic pumps, I'd just much rather buy an old cosmetically worn but functional gun than a hyped up shiny NIB one. That being the said I just picked up a Remington...

I just won a Tri-star model SB 12ga singe shot "pack type" gun at an NWTF banquet and I have been trying to find out more about it for a few days, coming up with nothing I turned here. It's a short foldable gun so you can put it in a backpack sized bag. 20in barrel, full choke, 3in chamber...

I found a old Savage model 430 O/U 12ga(double triggers) at a local gun shop for $250, only problem is it's seen better days. The receiver has a light(very thin orangish) coating of surface rust on both sides and the bottom(I think a little 0000 steel wool & TLC would help), the forend has a...

I live in Granville IL and I'm looking for a gunsmith because I just bought a J. C. Higgins model 101.7(which I belive is a stevens 311 made for Sears) and didnt notice till after I picked it up(auction so no going back) that one of the barrels has a bulge in the choke area plus some rust out...

Ok I was at a sporting goods store today and saw they had some reloading stuff 25% off, so I went over and saw a ton of powder, varget(got for $15) clays(got for $12) universal clays, RL??, on and on. well I say they had kegs of green dot and 700x(I thought they were 8LBS but the more I think...
