Tuner, I remember a subject I don't find here that had to do with installing a square edged firing pin keeper and how it effects the timing of a 1911 pistol. Wasn't it closer to JMB's original design configuration to not have the rounded edge recocking the hammer? I'm guessing it was...

Does anyone have a good close photo of how the sear/firing pin safety spring goes in the above pistol? It's a flat two legged guy with an extension to the left side of the left leg. Nothing I have shows me where the spring end(s) ride and there's a couple of possibilities. The spring I found...

The following email is being distributed to the membership of Clark Rifles, a community shooting club located in SW Washington, it arrived to me a few minutes ago. verbatim: "I just found out today that there will be a hearing on Bill 6396 ,the assault weapons ban, in Olympia on Tuesday...

Elk stag horn grips specifically, but working with stag the material in general. I have some pretty old stag grips for the 1911 pistol. I know that they once fit very well on a Colt pistol that was in my family for many years but they were removed and the pistol sold a few years back. It...

A 500 lb. guy, arrested and booked in a jail near Houston, told one of his jailers during a shower period that he was carrying a 9mm pistol in the folds of his fat. He'd been searched and all that by the cops arresting him and again when being enrolled in the slammer without them detecting his...

I'm looking for a scope that's made in the external adjustment style of many old target scopes and most Unertl scopes even lately (not sure if he's still making optics). Anyway I'm wondering if anyone in the website has run across a manufacturer who is putting out a decent copy of the old...

Does anyone know for sure that Dan Wesson pistols use Ed Brown safeties, slidestops, hammers, etc.? The reason I'm asking is that I have a Pointman 7 that has single side thumb safety and I really like the part that is used. It's obviously made of bar stock steel, not cast or MIM. It's more...

I have a nice Stevens Schuetzen rifle with a possible Harry Poe heavy octagon barrel in .22 LR that I've had hanging around for over twenty years. The serial number is 4646. I bought the rifle with factory scope blocks and a front sight installed, but only two threaded holes where the...

I've got a pistol coming that's gonna' be pretty far out of my range of experiences - an EAA Tanfaglio Elite Match in 38 super. It's a pistol made for competition shooting mostly and it has a polygonal rifling barrel. I'm going to load for it. There's a 125 gr 9mm lead round nose that...

I've got a 1969 Colt National Match ( #33313 ; pre Gold Cup) with a really pretty awful blue finish, or I guess it could be called the remnants of the original blueing. The slide has been cold blued and is mottled and faded as that stuff will do. So I bought it thinking that for the price I'd...

Dunno..... Probably.

will solid carbide mill cutters do the trick?

I have two of the small prewar PPKs .32 acp pistols. One, wearing waffennkapts and a scribed "K" on the bottom of the grip is in fine condition with it's internals appearing to have seen very little firing. The other could get me arrested. It doubles, and I'm sure it would empty it's...

I have a beautiful rifle, but I can't or don't have use for it anymore. I'd like to sell it but I don't have a clue about how to price it. It's serial number A545 in 22ppc, a single shot bolt action and is in as new or near new condition and when I was shooting it it makes easy 3/8" honest...

With all else equal - as in same powder, same seating depth, same crimp, does pressure go up with bullet weight or does it go down? I'm pretty sure that heavier bullet = higher pressures because it takes more energy buildup to get the heavier bullet moving, right? And so powder charge should...

I don't much care where it was first shipped but do wonder what year it was made. I've just bought Model 41 serial # 16427. It has the 7 3/8" barrel and came with two magazines, and three screw in weights, one aluminum and two steel, that screw into a hole under the barrel behind the...

I'm not sure what's going on with our local gun club secretary, but this little poll he sent around to the membership THIS MORNING was from November 2007 - BEFORE the Heller case decision. Apologies to the forum for not looking more closely before posting the text of his email here. I can...

..a picture of the end of the barrel with the compensator removed, that is? I'm assuming that it's removable at least for cleaning. But I've got my eye on one of the V-Comp models and would rather not have the compensator on it at all. I'm a compensator non-believer.

And if so, what are the reasons usually? Thing is that I've got one more lower and am thinking about an A3 carbine. I've got a 24" varmint rifle and a 20" NM standard rifle, so a carbine seems natural enough. But a 30 cal carbine could have uses, and ammo is cheap most of the time. But I...
