I have a S&W 686 CS - 1 revolver. These have the bead blast finish. I have some shiny spots on it where carrying it has polished the finish. I read awhile back somewhere, where it could be touched up using an abrasive product like scotch brite, sandpaper, etc, but I cannot remember where I...

I was talking to some friends the other day, and one of them mentioned the fact of having to use moon clips in some 627's. I really did not know that you have to use moon clips in any 627. Can someone fill me in on this. The PC revolvers, like the 8 shot ones, do they take moon clips? Which...

I have a CS40 and when I fire it, it has a definate click in the trigger pull. Any information on this problem? I tried to take it down, but I have only done 45's before. Is the take down the same? Any fixes for this problem? Thanks in advance.

I need some spacers (shims, bearings) not exactly sure what they are called, for correcting endshake on a Smith and Wesson. I cannot find them anywhere. Also, what thickness are they available in? Any information would be appreciated.

I have been using steel bases and rings on some rifles, and aluminum bases and aluminum rings on other rifles. (Weaver style) I have not shot any of them very much. I have been told not to use the aluminum rings as they will not hold the scope in alignment properly, and that they are not...

I recently purchased a High Standard Victor. I have wanted one for many years. I think that this may be a newer model. It has a plastic case with it. It has the large wooden target grips on it. It has the weights on the front. Is this a newer model. I am thinking that it is because of the...

I have a Savage 17HMR, it is about 2 years old. It did not come with sling mounts drilled, just a black synthetic stock. I want to put a Bi Pod on it, and I am not sure how to do it. I need to get the measurements from the front of the stock to where the bi pod will mount. I am new to rifles...

Hello I am trying to find the web site for Century gun safes. I have had no luck in finding it. Anyone know the web site? I am looking for the factory web site. Thanks in advance.

I have been checking the pistol sales sites for Pythons often. It seems as of late, that the bidding and prices are just not what they were. Up until a few months ago, Pythons were selling really good, with bids on most of them. As of late, there is a very large amount of them with no bids at...

I am getting my J frame back together, but I do not have the diagram just for this model. I am looking at the one I have and I think that this is the right location for the hammer block. I have enclosed a picture of the hammer block installed, is this the proper location? Also, I am wondering...

Hello I am in need of a hammer for a 649 - 2. I believe that the 649, 649-1 and 649 - 2 will all work. I have checked with S&W and they are a little pricey - 55.00. I found another one for 45.00. It cannot be the MIM part as it does not have the hammer mounted firing pin. Any...

Hello I am having a problem with a 649-2 Smith and Wesson. It will not cock back and lock the hammer. It fires fine in DA, but no single action. The 649 has the shrouded hammer, and at one point someone has taken down either the hammer or the sear. I have put a couple of pictures up, one...

Can someone tell me how microstamping works. According to an article on this forum, Kennedy is in favor of it. It was stated that empty casings could help to find out what gun fired the round. Can anyone explain how this works, and how it could possibly be used to fight crime?

I have some older ammo that I am considering selling. I am trying to figure out how to ship it. I know that UPS has signs posted that it will not ship certain items. I know ammo can be shipped, but what are the restrictions? What is the best way to ship? Thanks

I am expecting to receive a revolver that I purchased. My question is - do revolvers have to be shipped next day delivery. It is coming from out of state. If they ship it on Friday and it has to be shipped next day, is it delivered to the FFL on Saturday, or would it be delivered on the next...

I am looking at a revolver that I am thinking about buying. It is a 642 with a 3 inch barrel. Of course, it is a pre lock. I think that they only made them for one year, not sure on that however. I have never seen one before. Anyone know what the value of this revolver would be? Any...

I see that Cleveland is challenging the state removing their assualt weapons band. I recently had the privledge of speaking to a fairly high ranking memeber of law enforcement in the Cleveland area. Getting back to challenging the weapons ban in Cleveland, I am really getting tired of the term...

I have a 642. For some reason I like the Lady Smith. Maybe it is the grips, I don't know. I just checked the Smith and Wesson catalog and the Lady Smith sells for 200.00 more than the standard 642 (list price). It looks like the same revolver only with real nice grips on it. Anyone have any...

I was at a gun show in northern Ohio this past week end. Saw some interesting firearms. There was a super buy made there on Saturday. This guy was walking around with 2 Colt revolvers in their original boxes. One was a Python and the other was a Diamond Back. He had not been there too long...

I am going to start carrying with a hip holster. I normally use the in the waist band holster, but want to try something else. I am not looking for any particular brand, just some information on the following two types of holsters. These will be for either a revolver or an auto. On the paddle...
