I'm most annoyed how terrible to disassemble it is. Because the crennelated pins have to re-enter their positions in the aluminum receiver, a minute mistake can literally destroy the gun that you just cleaned. For that reason, I have one that didn't disassemble in 25 years. Just pour light oil...

Russians tend to have items on their guns that are next to impossible to remove, at least with basic tools. The AK safety is one. For Mosin, my E.J.Wood book says that "If not broken, extractor is better left alone (in the bolt head where it dovetails)". I would not want to try and swap the...

I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure MEAN literally invented the Endomag, then something happened and it's primarily known as a CMMG schtick. I never heard of any acrimony between them, so it must've been an engineering contract, a licensing deal, or something of such nature. It's not...

The Endomag is a secret sauce of modern AR9. It offers a gradual feed path that Glock magazine cannot match. Because AR was designed around a long rifle cartridge, the distance between the bottom of the stripper rail (lowest lug in case of CMMG RDB) and the axis of the barrel is far greater...

Sphinx AT-380 (unfortunately, only the senseless versions with thumb safety were imported into the U.S.)

I'd start with factory ammunition first. But FTE on Ruger PC can come from many reasons, even as basic as a takedown screw not tight. You'll have to be patient and eliminate all of them one by one. UPDATE: I'm not joking about many causes. I tried to enumerate them a couple of years ago in a...

Compared to all the tacky appearance packages, Rose seems to be tastefully done. Props to SIG (and Lena).

There is very little to chose between them. I had a positive experience with XDm 45, and I like the grip safety, so I favoured the XD-S. However, because the XD-S grip accommodates the aforementioned safety, it is somewhat longer front to back, making for a different feel. It feels flatter and...

This suggestion won out in the end. I acquired a Winchester 69 at a gun show in Ft.Worth. Although the big screw is recessed, it is easily accessed without damage by a coin. P.S. The recessed takedown screw is a feature of 69A, but the bolt at least is clearly of that of 69, and the markings say...

The 2024 is the year for unconventional lever actions with box magazines. Bond LVRB, Henry Supreme, and FightLite Herring just off the top of my head (the 2023 POF is chambered in 9mm, so it does not count as a real rifle). Henry in particular already offered HLR, which you mentioned, but the...

It is difficult, but it can be done: -> ALL (drops "shop all categories") -> 10/22 PARTS & ACC -> ELITE22 Receivers (in the left menu! - the one on the right does not have the steel ones) -> ELITE22S™ STAINLESS RECEIVER (now on the right) This is what happens when a company has no money to...

The finish looks the same. It's dark black and glossy. Not bluish or brownish. The barrel is flush, so not like pictured. It has a deeply recessed crown. No forward serration. The right side safety is 1-piece, but I cannot be sure it was like that. I converted mine to G with the official kit...

Good job. I tried to do the same, but the lookup I found required asking Beretta. Now I have a question: what is the point of this configuration? I have a plain 92X. Its slide looks exactly like that, except the front sight is dovetailed in place. Also, it came with 3x10rd instead of 2x15rd.

Bruh Kahr guns always been striker fired. Not different from Glock, just the trigger travel is longer.

It's not a DAO. Calling it that was just a marketing ploy. It's a normal striker-fired SAO mechanism with a long motion of the trigger. SIG used to sell a true DAO single-stack, called P290RS. It was hammer fired. The first time I took it up, I could not complete the shot with one hand. But...

I have proven to you with math that frame thickness can be reduced by a significant amount, or at least 10% for double stack guns. Yet you still spread this "one millimeter" thing. It is just not true and you know it.

The case head diameter of 9mm Luger is 10.01mm, and the case head diameter of 30SC is 8,74mm. In addition a double stack magazine gains more, although not quite twice more (about x 1.85). So, about 2.35mm total reduction in thickness can be gained. That is close to 10% for guns like P365 and...

I'd shoot a question to Beretta. Take the s/n from the photos at Gunbroker. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/general-enquiry-form

My opinion is as follows: the 30SC cartridge offers a useful capability that the gun makers aren't exploiting, so it's going to die out quicker than .45 GAP. What we see now is the marketing of cramming 12 rounds into the space of 10. Unfortunately, the launch partner, S&W, accomplished it by...

Blowback designs can be OOB safe. Look at Ruger PC Carbine or Henry Homesteader for example, They use a very simple geometric safety by using a distance between the rear of the firing pin and the bottom of the bolt. If the bolt is even a little out of the battery, the hammer cannot reach the...
