Who can help? I am trying to duplicate the load for the .303 British as used during World War 1. Were there differences for rifle and machine gun loads? Different loads as used by British and let's say Australian troops? Bullet weighs, shape, powder? Any publications recommended that have...

Anyone know the background on this? The 30 round mags have not been available for a while, a source on the 'inside' told me they are backordered with 14K to go... The 20 rounders are available.

Had this invitation for a Boar hunt in Germany. Needed to send my Hunter Education card (Texas) and passport pictures. Now the local office there says this is not for 'Americans' unless Military stationed in Germany. I remember some hunts being auctioned off at a SCI dinner to take place in...

The German version of the Heckler & Koch website does not list the P2000 or P2000SK anymore, HK-USA still does. Wonder if they plan to stop making them, now that the P30SK is coming out. Think the little P2000SK looks better than the P30SK.

A lot (or most) new guns have very sharp edges. S&W PPK, Charter Arms and the new Remlin 1894. One could shave with the S&W Walther copy. I hear that even the new Colt 1911 have the same issue, for lack of whatever step is needed to prevent that. How can one remove those edges without sanding...

Does anyone know which guns were issued to the early (1920-1930-1940s) Air Mail Service? Pilots were required to carry guns to protect the mail (!) and at least one highjacking was averted by a Captain.

Shot my new CA Pitbull in .40S&W last week: First two shots bottom right, adjusted my trigger finger to forward index and check out the next series. All at 7 yards. Not bad for that short barrel.

From the PTR91 owners manual: "BREAK IN PROCEDURES: I. Fire 10 single shots. After each shot, push a cotton patch wet with solvent through the bore. Then wet a bronze brush with solvent and stroke the barrel five to ten times. Follow with another wet patch and then enough dry patches to...

Got this new Sharps - Globe sight up front, flip up sight in front of the receiver and the tang mounted aperture type fold down sight. Unfortunately I can't see much. Might just be old age, but my eyes can focus fine on the front sight with or without glasses but looking though the rear aperture...

Is it possible to switch barrels/calibers on the Browning BLR ? Since the bolt head is the same between the .308, the .243 and the .358 Win - should that be possible? Are extra barrels even available?

Not suggesting that this might be smart or safe or anything - but: Could a .410 shotgun shell be fired in a 45/70 rifle? Since there are .45LC / .410 combos out there. Again, emergency use only.

Came across this statement on the CTD website: Surprised me, that the Colt Delta Elite is on the list. What is an unsupported chamber and is the EAA Witness also? Beretta makes a 10mm? "BVAC 10mm Auto Ammunition Notice: Due to numerous customer request for the BVAC 10MM to reach maximum...

Hi, did Colt make a Dragoon blackpowder revolver recently? Or is this some Italian copy by Uberti or Pietta? Some say they bought the tooling from Italy (how sad) and made them here so they would qualify as Colts made in the US, but... The gun looks great, pictures to follow...

Has anyone done a fire mode conversion on a HK USP compact himself? The manual says it needs to be done by a HK certified armorer. Are the parts available to do it? What does a armorer/shop charge for this? Like to try to go from Variant 7 (LEM trigger) to a ‘normal’ SA/DA with decocker.

Not that I would ever do this but- what would happen if you were to shoot a .40S&W round out of a 10mm barrel? Assuming that it fed, since it can't headspace on the rim it would be held in place by the bolt and extractor. A short distance of free flight through the 10mm case length...

Not sure if some are making to much out of the NDAA. Does the US Military have arrest authority INSIDE the United States for anybody who is not a serviceman? Even some Law Enforcement Agency can not arrest, so what's the deal? Normal peacetime of course, I realize that things get slightly...

Double action only, sort of. The long trigger pull cocks and releases a striker. Pop up barrel like a Berreta and looks like it was made yesterday. (not the one on the pic above) What is it worth?

German Police in search of a cop killer - one carries some bullpup assault weapon, the other a submachine gun. Can't make out what make and model...
