My grandfather is beginning to have a hard time opening his early Contender frame and it's my understanding the easy open conversion is neither available nor necessarily desirable. When I look for "action job" all I see is trigger work, but does anybody do work to make the action open more...

I have a Browning 1885 lo wall in 45 Colt that is great to carry, slick action, fits me well, but the iron sights limit it's hunting use- particularly in low light. Is there a mount that fits into the rear dovetail cut (standard 3/8 dovetail I believe) that will allow for the mounting of a...

I have a very nice, excellent condition Browning 1885 Traditional Hunter in 45 Colt with nicely figured wood, factory aperture sight, brass bead front sight, and a Marbles folding rear sight. The barrel is half octagon, half round. I love the gun, but don't find myself hunting with it much...

I'm going to have a Bearcat built for my 2 year old daughter. Alan Harton seems to be the go-to for Bearcats, so I'll likely go that route though I'd love to do as much of the build as I can. I love the look of octagon barrels and wondered if whoever builds it could take a tapered octagon...

I have a Umarex PPK that shoots way high with the fixed sights. Any tricks to adjusting POI?

Who is the go-to gunsmith for installation of 1911 frame ramp inserts? If I had to pick good, fast, or cheap I'll go with good and fast :D I have a Colt LW Commander XSE that's valuable enough as a shooter to put the extra money in it.

I'm looking for opinions on a scoped revolver set up for long range (100-150 yards) target shooting and short/medium range (50 -75 yards) hunting. I'm considering a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt, Ruger Redhawk or SuperRedhawk in 40-something caliber, BFR in 45-70, or if I can talk myself into it a...

I picked up this gun over the weekend at a local show. Looks like a 1940 manufacture. Good shape but shot a lot. Honest wear and mostly intact bluing. The gun has a factory heavy barrel, Kings vent rib, Patridge front sight with mirror in the base, Kings cockeye hammer, short action conversion...

I've been entirely too busy at work to get out and shoot like I should, so I'm thinking about setting up a little range in the backyard. I already have a Crossman 1337 that I rebuilt a few years ago. It shoots great but is slow, and I'd like to get more shots in. I'm looking for...

I have a Browning Low Wall in 45 Colt coming this week. I've loaded 45 Colt for revolvers for years but never for a single shot. Does anybody have tips specific for loading for single shot rifles? Do you still put a full roll crimp or just seat the bullet?

I was given an original 451 Detonics Magnum kit for Christmas and have the die spacer and neck reamer as well as about 250 pieces of brass but I've scoured the internet and cannot find load data. I have a good supply of powders, so that's not an issue. I plan on using 200 grain bullets, but have...

I have a satin nickel Series 70 in need of a refinish. I just called Colt and they quoted $400 with return shipping. I was suprised, but thought this may only apply to the nickel. I asked about a satin chrome and got a quote for $390. I've always heard that Colt was competitive on their...

Found this on another forum I frequent and thought some of you might be interested. http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f26/gunstock-blanks-walnut-crotches-31039/

I'm a big fan of the old Bianchi Hip Hugger paddle holsters but they're sometimes hard to find or expensive for certain models. Does anyone make a paddle that can attach to a standard belt holster? I can't imagine it'd be hard. Just make a paddle, snap on a short length of "belt" at the top and...

I've got an old series 70 1911, satin nickel with polished blue barrel, bushing, safety, slide release, trigger and grip safety. It currently has the short trigger from the factory but I'd really like the look and length of a Gold Cup blue trigger. I can pick up the trigger for a reasonable...

I have an in-law who is looking to sell some shotguns he inherited. Could anyone give me a rough price range? I know it's hard without pics, but an idea of average price would be great. 5) Winchester 12 gauge double barrel (2 _” chamber) Model 24 S# 1098XX 6) Ithaca 12...

I haven't had time to hit up the gun shops here yet and have a Colt CCO on the line for the wife. What are the best gun shops in town? Which FFL will take transfers from out of state individuals, and at the best price? Thanks for the help guys.

I bought this K31 a couple of years ago when they were about $175 (not the $89 guns they once were, but less than the $250+ they go for now). It's walnut and in good shape, even the stock. No tag, unfortunately. I'm not good enough with irons to bring out the potential of the gun, so it got a...

This might be a bit OT, but I was just visited by the local PD and had a pretty good experience. Thought I'd share. About noon I'm in the laundry room folding clothes with some music going. My wife is out of town with the dog so it's just me and two cats, living like most of us would when the...

I somehow lost the screw that holds the hammer face on my first gen Contender. From the looks of things, it goes through the back of the hammer and into this cylindrical part that actually strikes the firing pin. Does anybody know the size and pitch of the screw in question? Does anybody...
