    When did gunmakers “standardized” their gun parts for all their guns to have the same specs?

    Hand fitted factory guns were standard up until the Smith and Wesson 39/59 series. Davis/Raven/Jennings semiautomatics were drop in due to the huge tolerances in the design Glock was probably the first that was so simple that even a person with limited skills could do a complete takedown and...

    Is gunsmithing a lost art?

    I know a gunsmith who went to a reputable school for several years to learn the trade He found out, pretty quick, that most gun people are cheap. They need a firing pin, extractor etc for an old gun and only want to pay $30 for him to make it The metal, precision machining and heat treat take...

    amt

    I have owned several AMT products over the years. Most were crap. Hardballer and the Longslide were jam-o-matics. The ruger pistol copy had the ejector slot cut into the chamber and would send pieces of brass out the side. The 22 magnum pistol was reliable with Winchester ammunition only I...

    Colt Python expertise needed!

    I agree about Gunbroker. I picked up a Smith revolver a few weeks back. The listing said 98%. I should have asked for close ups. It had plenty of surface wear. Not horrible bit not 98%. The seller had well into the hundreds of A+ feedback. I decidedly to keep it even though there was a 3...

    I got a nice 32 Beretta 81 a bit ago. 32 ACP is crazy expensive. I got lucky and found 32 bullets plated bullets and dies at Midway. I do have some factory ammunition so I will have brass I have never loaded this small of a case. Powder is hard to find. I do have plenty of Winchester 231...

    6.5 Carcano in stock

    Great deal finding that. The oddball calibers do come up once in awhile. I am still waiting to find 32 acp for a reasonable price. I would probably pay $25 or under for 50 but I doubt we will see that for awhile
