Looking for some background info on a H&R Pioneer 750 bolt action 22. Several years ago I bought this rifle for $60 minus a bolt. At the time, spare parts like a bolt were scarce. Eventually I came across a complete bolt on GB listed for the same model, and equal to what I paid for the file...

Recently picked up a Pietta 1873 in 45 Colt. Been learning about this round, and was wondering if anyone has tried .410 shells, cut to the same length as a 45 Colt? Either with shot buck, or slugs? What would be the safety concerns of attempting this? Am I mistaken the .410 is a little lower psi...

Looking at buying a Enders Secret Service 12ga for $100. From basic searching I've found it was made under contract for Crescent Arms. While I understand these aren't the highest quality shotguns, I have heard these were rated fairly decent for the period. My question to everyone is, does...

somewhat a odd combination on a revolver. But I'm thinking about having a python barrel fitted to my Ruger Security Six. The barrel I'm going to use is blued, and my Ruger is stainless. Of course to have it uniform, I'd had to have it refinished. Wondering if some people could offer what...

I know this has been a repeated topic. And I have searched too. But have a couple questions that I can't find if anybody has asked. Looking at possibly having a Security Six re-barreled with a Python barrel, or a King Cobra barrel. I understand this is a major undertaking, in some opinions a...

I bought a single shot 12ga for $50 the other day. Its stamped Springfield Arms Chicopee Falls Mass, Model 1929. Overall the gun is in pretty decent shape. Someone chromed the receiver at one point in its life. Barrel is still blue and cut down to 20in. Goes bang every time. But two things wrong...

I'm looking for a little pocket carry gun. I have just under $200 to spend. Not a big fan of the Keltecs, or clones like the Hellcat. I'm looking a used AMT Backup .380 for sale, in SA. He's asking $200 for it. No idea on the function. Condition, its moderate, but afterall, its stainless. An...

I'm about to buy a FIE Titan II in .32 auto next week. Its in mechanically good shape. Cosmetically its pretty good. Good bore, blueing is ok, no pitting. One mag for $115. I know virtually nothing of these guns. I hear good things about them. I hear this one is a Beretta copy. I had a FIE A27...

I was looking at parts on Numrich today for my J22. And I noticed they had listed a barrel replacement made out of stainless. Does anyone know if Bryco/Jennings actually ever made a stainless barrel? I know the frame/slide are made out of that matchbox zinc alloy ONLY. But never really read...

Kind of a odd request. But has anyone successfully found a way to convert their Security/Speed/Service Six, either .38 or .357 to a unfluted cylinder? I know Ruger never made such a thing from the factory. So this would be purely aftermarket or retro fit from another revolver. I know that...

I'm looking at picking up a used Taurus 82, blued, 2in snub this weekend for $200. I don't know the history of this gun. What I want to know is, does anybody know when these guns were first produced? I know this one does not have the ridges in the cylinder flutes, which tells me is a later...

Just wanted to get some basic info/opinions for a Remington Model 11. I have a Colt MKIII Metropolitan "converted to .357" up for sale at $275 or trade. My gun has some heavy pitting on the barrel and the bluing is 50%. So a guy on one of my local forums is offering a Model 11 in trade. I read...

I might be buying a Winchester 1200 here soon and I know that its only setup for 2-3/4 shells. I might also be buying a Defender 1300 18in barrel for this gun. Now since the 1300 series barrels can handle 3in, would it be safe to use 3in shells on a 1200 receiver? I originally thought the...

Hello everyone, I have a simple question. Can a Winchester 94 chambered in 30-30 fire Win32 Special? I bought a couple misc boxes of old Wester X, Peters, and inside the box is was a mix of Western & Peters 30-30 and some Western & Rem UMC Win32 special. I lined them up, far as I can tell...

Hello everyone. Have a general price question about a SW99 in .45. What is something like this worth? Original everything, grip extentions, mags, sights... I have a Ruger GP100 6in I've been trying to sell for $400 with a scope rail, hogue grip and Truglo 2x red dot. I only paid $375 for it a...

I'm looking to buy a Winchester .22. Doesn't have to be semi or bolt specifically. But I came across a model 67 and 121 both for $125 each. They both look to be in 85%+ condition given their age. Just looking for opinions or input here on what people think is the better model/value? In my...

Just like the title says: New WWI Colt Reissue or Colt Series 70? I have the chance to buy either one: NIB WWI Colt reissue for $900 or a NIB Series 70 MKIV for $835 I started off this quest for the WWI because, out of all the guns I've ever had, the one I regret selling the most was my...

I'm considering trading my Springer SS GI towards a reproduction Colt in either WWI or WWII configuration. Granted that's not a even trade, but the only left GI on my gun is the slide and frame. Everything has been professionally replaced with Wilson or EGW internals. My question is, are...

I'm looking for a mag extension for my Winchester Ranger 1300 20ga. All the 1300 series mag ext I find don't specify if they are 12 or 20ga. I'm assuming, but need someone to clarify for me, there is a difference right? I can't order one for a 12ga and expect it to work on my 20? I would...

I recently purchased a used Mossberg 500c 20 gauge. This is a home defense shotty and I'd like to get to hold as many shells as possible. I recently learned that you cannot add a mag extension to the 500 series. Rather that I'd have to change out the tube & barrel. Not worth it in my opinion...
