    Charter Arms, parts compatibility over time

    I'm keeping an eye on an auction elsewhere, for a parts gun. (One of those things where they remove or destroy the serialized part, and sell the rest as service parts.) This is for a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog. The barrel on the parts pictured says Stratford, CN, so this is an older Bulldog...

    Come Heller high water (merged threads)

    --scotusblog Specifically, what does " The only Justice without a majority opinion from that sitting is Justice Scalia. " mean? I suppose we'll know soon enough.

    j frame (equivalent) pocket holster suggestions

    I got tired of waiting for my gun monger to get a Ruger LCP in, and told him to get me a Taurus 605. In stock, should be here Wednesday. What's a good pocket holster for this thing?

    Rossi snub, yet another buy this or not thread

    I looked at a new Rossi snub this past Saturday. Looked decent, has hammer mounted firing pin (one reason I'm not looking at Taurus -- my last Taurus had a tendency to eat firing pin springs). I did not catch the model, but I think this was a 351 -- .38, 5 shot, blue. Anybody have...

    Smart Reloader Mark Xvi Reloading Press

    Is it just me, or does this press Midsouth has in their newest catalog look a whole lot like a Lee Classic Cast? http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00047MKXVI

    CZ-82 barrel swap?

    I looked at a CZ-82 today. Price was right, I was impressed. I probably would have done some wheeling and dealing for it right there if my dear wife wasn't hovering nearby. :scrutiny::scrutiny: Anyway, how hard would it be to swap in a .380 barrel? I assume the CZ-83 barrel would fit...

    Price check, Russian .380 Makarov

    I'm contemplating selling off my .380 Makarov. I haven't shot it in 5 years or more, and I want to fund a copy of Ruger's new popgun. The full kit: gun (standard capacity .380 Makarov with black Baikal grip, blue finish with the usual adjustable rear sight), 2 magazines, holster, cleaning rod...

    Escrow for internet gun purchases -- howto?

    There's an item in the THR for sale that mildly tempts me, to the extent that I emailed the guy for pics. He's got a low post count, so no reputation I can check on, and states he wants payment via money order. Is there anyone out there that does escrow for transactions like this? I'd pay...

    Williams WAK47 elevation screw

    I've come by a Williams aperture sight for the AK-47. It came to me without it's elevation screw. I matched it as close as I could at the hardware store, with a "6-40x3/8 set screw". It screws in easily about a turn and a half, and then binds, so I suspect this isn't quite right. Anybody...

    No more Makarovs :-(

    Per George at Makarov.com Arsenal has ceased production. Kind of reminds me of when they stopped making the VW Beetle (the real Beetle, with the air cooled engine in back). (In more ways than one. The last manufactured Beetles were made in Mexico, and they couldn't be imported into the...

    Rumor mongering -- new Ruger auto?

    Casting question -- undersized mold, will this fix it?

    Casting newbie question here. I have an old Lee .45 mold, labeled 450-200-1R. Round nose, 200 grain, molds to .450. (It's from my grandfather's estate, I have no idea how old it is, but it's at least 20 years old.) I have a handful of bullets that were cast with this mold, and they measure...

    Avurt pepper ball launcher

    My gunphobic shopmate just passed this on to me: the Avurt IM 5 launcher. It's not the worst idea ever, just many shortcomings. Not least of which, is that ammo is a tad pricy at 10/$40 or 25/$60.

    Casting and sizing question

    I'm looking into casting, starting with 9mm Makarov. Lee makes a mold for a 95 grain .365 diameter lead round nose bullet for the Makarov, but they do not make a .365 sizing die. The mold instruction sheet says bullets can used as cast (once lubricated). Is this in fact the case, or am...
