This thread is for 92 aficionados only... LGS has a few 92F (not FS) examples for sale OTC at $325 each. They are made in Italy, served overseas (where???) and were imported here to the US in G to VG condition. Grips have been replaced with some aftermarket checkered wood specials (maybe...

Has anybody bought recent production (since the Vista merger) Remington .30-30 Core-Lokts? If so, did they still have the traditional scallops, or were they just a regular JSP? Thanks!

Eventually, I would like to build a classically styled (pre-WWII) 98 Mauser sporter on a military surplus action. The selected caliber will appropriate for the time, so no modern high pressure barn burners. I refuse to butcher an original condition military issue firearm, so my starting point...

What are the pros and cons for the following barrels in .223/5.56? How would you rate them for accuracy and longevity? What did you choose? - Plain Carbon Steel - Chromed Lined - Melonite (or Nitride) Lined - Stainless Steel Thanks!

A LGS has an unmodified .30-30 336TS in good/very good condition with the somewhat rare (?) 18.5 barrel and is NOT fitted with the cross bolt safety. From some interwebz searching, it sounds like such a a gun would only be in 1980-1984 timeframe. I need a .30-30 lever gun, and I like this one...

Used to be extremely common as the lowest cost ammo for folks not interested in reloading and leary of steel case imports. Nowadays it's rarely seen, but it's brass sibling is everywhere.

I have four sets of the Pachmayr Presentation grips that I have acquired used over the years for the K/L-frame square butt (size small). I just noticed today that one of them is not relieved for speed loader access. Just curious- Does anybody know when this change was made?

A LGS has a 1914 Amberg Kar 98 (direct ancestor to the WWII Kar 98K) that was modified to a mid-grade sporter in probably the 50's or 60's. It has a non-cheek rest sporter stock, new .270 Win barrel and was fitted with a rear peep sight. The recoil pad is cracked and tired (not surprisingly)...

Do fingerprints from handling/loading cartridges actually survive the firing process? Seems like that if you leave a big old thumb print on something like a .45 case while loading a 1911 mag, the expansion of the case wall onto the chamber wall would obliterate any sense of the original print...

What are you folks seeing in your area for used AR pricing? Something like an older M4gery with fixed front sight, removable carry handle and standard military carbine collapsible stock and short hand guards- No extra rails, no extended handguards, no M-LOC, no Magpul stuff, etc. Makers might...

Which 6mm or 6.5mm cartridges on the standard commercial market today use case body diameters different from the standard 5.56mm/.223 or 7.62 NATO/.308? Are there any based on the .30 Remington/6.8 SPC case? Thanks!

A LGS has a AMT 380 DAO for a very reasonable price. It seems to be in good condition and fully functional. I like the full stroke, full weight trigger pull and the positive heel mag release, features that make it kryptonite to today's Tactical Teds Does anybody have direct experience with...

Announced today- 90 day ban on export of US arms and ammo to civilian and unapproved military destinations. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-halts-exports-most-civilian-firearms-90-days-2023-10-27/ The Commerce Department did not provide further details for the pause, which also includes...

I was looking at a used .40 96D Centurion (true DAO with the "Police Special" shield) at the LGS. When I entered the serial number into the Beretta website, it returned as a standard 9mm 92FS. ???? Can you put a Centurion .40 slide and barrel onto a stock 92FS frame? Does the Beretta serial...

The long-term durability of the S&W N, L, K and J-frame .357 Magnum families are frequently discussed, but what about the older Colts? How do the 3-5-7 and original Pythons stand-up to extended shooting with 158 and 125 gr jacketed loads? What about the various Troopers, Peacekeepers and...

Interesting PBS video highlighting a MN high school shotgun team. I would say 80% to 90% positive, with only a minor roll given to Brady screeching and mandatory NRA bashing. Your thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA0asva7tqQ

I think I already know the answer to this one, but I have a line on a 1934/35 production Walther PP in 7.65mm. It is fitted with the heel mag release, no signal pin, specialty "swelled" barrel end, 90 deg safety and marked PDM 7XX with the appropriate serial number. Everything indicates it is...

What would be some good rebuttal points for the below vitriolic editorial? Its a pretty good summary of the bigoted hate directed towards armed citizens. By the way, "Shall not be infringed" is NOT a good rebuttal point. Thanks! In a gun-crazed culture fed by fear, any little action can...

Has anybody ever explored the Remington Hi-Way Master .38 Special loading? It featured a 110 gr pointed zinc-alloy projectile designed for "metal piercing" anti-automobile applications, hence the name. Definitely a different approach that the Winchester/Western product line. I believe it was...
