I am looking for a well-made, lined, preferably flap holster for a very nice 6" nickel M29, and my usual source (El Paso Saddlery) really doesn't have one I like other than a shoulder holster, which may be what I wind up with. I would really like to browse other makers holsters, but I haven't...

I have an absolutly beautiful M29 with a nickel finish, and while I have been cleaning guns for ~60 years, I would like to ask for your input as to which solvent/cleaner will remove the black ring blasted onto the cylinder throat environs by those magnificent 44 mag blasts. I ask because I...

I've always wanted a Smith 22, and just happened across this one on GB. I looked around a little (here and elsewhere), and $600 didn't seem grossly overpriced. The pistol looked nice, and since I'm trying to spend my kids inheritance one gun at a time (and they can deal with selling), I made a...

I just had Ted Brown swap out my Armscorp M14NM semi-auto receiver for a GWLA. The Armscorp was o.k., but it had an iffy reputation and Ted didn't work on them - I never had a moment's problem with mine. Fit & finish is excellent, but being an old guy trying to get rid of everything that won't...

I just picked up a very nice little Mod 37 .410, and it isn't serial numbered. I have a few old .22s that are un-numbered (Marlin M80 & a couple of others buried in the back of a safe), but I wondered if the entire production run of M37s was un-numbered. I'm not a card-carrying Winchester...

Just picked up my new toy, and in looking through the very brief "manual", there is nothing about breaking it down for cleaning. I have several ARs & am very familiar with the breed, and I am looking at the rear pin & thinking it needs to be tapped out from left to right, but before I go...

I've been thinking about a 7.62 NATO AR, and wondered what advice anyone might have about this one. PSA is about 40 miles from my house and I have bought several rifles, uppers, and lowers from them, all well made & of good quality, but all in 5.56. I'm not interested in spending much over...

I have inherited several guns from my best friend's untimely death, and now that I can see again, I am trying to evaluate them before keeping or selling them. One is the pistol in the topic line, and while it seems to be well-made (.380), he never got the chance to shoot it, and there are no...

I haven't been able to find a source for springs for this Rossi - does anyone know if the Taurus or any other S&W clone spring kits from Wolff will fit this one? Nice pistol with a killer single action pull, but the DA reminds me of my Polish P-64 :eek:

I bought several thousand of these primers during the Great Drought, and haven't had a problem until last weekend when I had several FTFs in my P226 MK25. Once fired, mostly R-P brass, loaded as always in my 550, and no problems until now - I hate to think of the pistol having a light strike...

I just picked up a nice German P220 off Gunbroker, and the trigger is polished bright stainless or chrome. I am not a SIG expert by any means, but I don't recall seeing one like it before. I paid $600 shipped, and the only wear evident is on the barrel from being fired - the external finish...

I finally had a chance to fire my 10/22 after replacing the badly corroded barrel (with a new take-off factory bbl), new extractor, new hammer & spring, extended clip release, and bolt-release (all Volquartsen). In 4 shots (%$#& range was closed), I had two smokestacks. I cleaned it up, oiled...

Midway is selling IMI M855, 420 rds for $180 (Brownell's is selling 420 rds of LC/Fed for $190) - anyone know how it compares to LC/Federal M855? I'm guessing they are fairly similar, but you never know... :scrutiny:

I have looked at a bunch of websites and youtube videos trying to find what torque to apply to the two screws when reassembling the barrel to the receiver, and the best I can find is "snug, but not too snug". I understand the receiver is aluminum and too much will damage or strip the threads...

I just bought a 3x32 AR scope & am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a mount before I SWAG it. It's a flat top with a Pic rail, and I'd like to to get one that mounted directly and doesn't require a base & rings. I may put a rear BUIS on it, but not definitely... Thanks!

This is probably very basic, but I have been wanting to replace my A3 upper with a flat top, and I wanted to know if the standard AR front would interfere with a red dot or other low mounted rear sight? It seems that it would, but I see a lot of pictures showing them together. If so, I am...

LGS is having a sale on the AR 5.56 for $577 - current MSRP is $750, and Bud's price is ~$680. Thinking about springing for one - any thoughts? I have a DPMS CAR I bought at the height of the Obamania for a price I'm embarrassed to say, but it's an A2 top and putting a scope on a carrying...

I have had occasional problems with reloaded 9mm & 45acp rounds having the bullets forced deeper into the case after unloading then reloading (not related to case wall thickness, bullet diameter, and taper crimp setting). I use factory ammo for carry and haven't had an issue with any of those...

I'm considering selling off a good part of my collection, and was wondering if anyone had any opinions regarding an auction versus advertising individually (Gunbroker, for sale here on THR, etc.). Shipping longs guns isn't a problem, but handguns have been a pain in the past. Bud's recently...

I've tried to find threads on this one without success, so here goes: I want something like this to attach to my Sig P226 MK25 with the true Picatinny rail on the underside of the slide in front of the trigger guard. Anyone have any experience with this light? Looks pretty good on the website...
