Looking for a little guidance if anyone here really knows Mossberg action tubes. I've always read there are three versions: The one with the springs, the one with no dimples and a plastic ring, and the one with the dimples and no plastic ring. But I have a couple I scrounged up that are...

I picked up a cheap Mossberg 590 from 1990 today, which turned out to be an Intimidator model. That's a factory laser forend. It's missing the laser capsule itself. Anybody here own one? I'm trying to decide if it's worth fixing or I should sell to one of the guys who collect these things.

Picked up a 1974 High Standard Flite-King Riot gun last week. Oddly, my dream gun after seeing one in a 1965 Shooter's Bible when I was a kid. Good condition and doesn't appear to have been shot much at all. One thing I need some help with, though. As I got the gun the "left cartridge stop"...

Never been much of a shotgunner but I've always had a couple in the back of the safe. Today I'm browsing Gunborker and I halfheartedly put a lowish bid on a Benelli. Much to my surprise I actually won the thing, and now I'm waiting for a 18.5" M2 Tactical with a Surefire forend and ghost ring...

I hate asking value questions but this isn't one I know much about. Fellow is selling a Winchester-made Enfield 1917 with COTC markings on the stock, which should mean it was used for Canadian cadet training. It also has a Danish front sight and CAI import marks. Wood is kinda beat but not...

This is a new one for me. I have a 1993 Ruger Mark II target. I stripped it today and discovered the square retaining block for the bolt stop appears to have broken its welds to the grip frame and is rattling around loose. Anyone ever see this? I couldn't find any mention online to similar...

Creative news laws in my state recently made all AR-15s worth a good $1200. Decided to cash out so I'm selling the AR and bought a Mini-14 to replace it. $500 off Gunborker and turns out to be a police Mini-14GB from 1987. Stainless, wood solid stock, mid-mounted sight with bayo lug. First time...

Snagged a cosmetically challenged .44 7.5" SS Redhawk from 1981 off Gunborker the other night for $450. My first big bore wheelgun. Arrives in a week or so. Anything I should know as a new Redhawk owner? It has some tired looking Pachmayers on it right now but I'll see what I can scrounge up...

I recently bought a pair of lightly-used pocket pistols, a P32 from around 1996 (one of the first) and a TCP from around 2012. Got a good deal in a state where they're not officially sold. Haven't had a chance to fire either, but I'm curious to hear experiences from people who've had a chance...

By this time tomorrow I'll be the proud owner of a Norinco "Model of the 1911A1," as long as it's not one of the guns with barrel lug peening. They seem like interesting pieces and they're rare in my state for legal reasons. Never owned a 1911 before. The catch is it was given a very '90s set...

Local guy's selling an M1A standard with both the OEM black plastic stock and GI walnut stock and one mag. Looks like a recent gun but I'm not positive. What would be a deal on something like this? He also has a scope and mount he's asking too much for.

An older friend of mine has a Smith 36 from the '60s. Beautiful thing, barely even shot it. But with his eyesight now he wants to get a set of Crimson Trace grips, and his 36 is a square-butt which none are made for. Any suggestions for the best option in a new J-frame (or maybe another brand?)...

An elderly gentleman I know was cleaning his place out and found a Remington 514 he'd forgotten he had in the basement. It's pretty gross looking but I think it'll clean up. The bigger problem is that he _really_ forgot where he put the bolt. We tossed the entire house and didn't find squat...

Came home with a lovely 1948 Ithaca 37 for $100 today. Only catch is someone cut the barrel down to 19" by hand some time ago. It's not gross but it's not great and there's no bead. So I'm thinking I could either get the muzzle cleaned up and a bead put on, to look like all the riot guns I...

I've had a months-old Smith 638 since October, and I've found the pin that holds the forward cylinder latch in has fallen out a couple times. It doesn't seem to be a very tight fit. Am I missing something or is this a defect?

I decided to give my old P6 a well-deserved overhaul today. Among other things, it now has a new recoil spring, a stock P225 hammer spring (P6 originally came with a brutal spring for the West German Hulk Police,) and a new set of factory grips. But I also decided to replace the worn-looking...

Probably sounds like a weird question since almost everyone carries in a holster without retention, but so far I've only carried in Garrity thumbreak IWB holster. I like how it's impossible for running, clothing, or car seats to pull my piece out. Now it's time to by a holster for my new...

Have this old girl I'm trying to work a local sale on. Anyone have an idea of value? First-year (1914) 12ga Winchester 1912, 30" bbl, normal takedown, plain grade. Very little original finish remaining, no rust to speak of, wood in good condition considering. Gun now has a new vintage butt pad...

First, anyone have a photo of a j-frame next to a midsize semi pistol? I have a Sig P6 and I'm considering a 638 but I don't know how big it really is. Also, what's the going rate for a used 638 with about 75 rounds through it.

An old friend who stopped shooting gave me about 400 reloaded 28 gauge skeet shells and a MEC progressive reloading press for them. Normally I'd say "Time for a new gun!" but I rarely see 28ga shotguns for sale and zero inexpensive ones. Should I keep trying to track one down or just turn...
