    German “pot metal” revolvers

Anyhow I got to poking about the Internet and found piles of …. er, waste… and what appears to be a few nuggets and jewels. For one thing I...

    Colt Government Series 70 Bushing

    Anyone still using one? I used one from 1975 until 2005 when a “gun school” instructor said that if I loved my kids I would go to a “Standard Barrel Bushing” I was wondering if anyone has one they used longer than 30 years with no issues. Despite all the stories from instructors, gun smiths...

    Barn gun Daisy 102

    Doing some chores in the Tack room today and went to give the Daisy its monthly flip. I store it either muzzle down or muzzle up to let the lube run back and forth. Cocked it muzzle down and sure enough it did not pick up a BB but aimed and fired like it had. Second cock was muzzle up and I got...

    Tech Sights on Ruger 10/22 take down

    No opinions, just your experiences, please. If you have no experience with Tech Sights on a Ruger 10/22 take down Please do not confuse the issue. I imagine that having the front and rear sights on two different pieces during take down MIGHT lead to loss of zero, but I do not know. If you...

    Any Glass Daggers out there?

    I believe Larry Niven once wrote a short called “What good is a glass dagger?” back around the time Jimmy Carter was beating bunnies with boat paddles. I have wanted one since. About the time I found a piece of glass long enough and thick enough they shut down the university hobby shop and the...

As I have not been to the barn in over a week I reach around the door frame and flipped an ancient Daisy with the removable “barrel” end for end. The...

    Return to Mayberry (Service Revolvers)

    I commented in another thread that I sometimes think it would be best if uniformed police carried classic looking DA/SA revolvers in .38 Special even today. Someone sort of dared me to start a thread about it so here it is. My reasoning will seem stupid to some folks and that’s fine. we are...

    Your (informed) Opinions, please

    Old High school buddy and I were exchanging emails and got to talking about how I had gotten my first handgun in the late 1960’s and he and our mutual friend had to wait into the early 1970’s to get hand guns. First one and then the other guilt tripped their dads into getting them pistols… of...

    US M1847 Carbine

    Saw this on a gun show table in Ocala Florida Tag IDed it as US M1847 and stated only 5700 built. Well it confused me as it was rifled and had these three leaf sights (1 fixed and two old up) also it has a chain to retain the am rod rather than a double hinge. Turns out that while 5700 basic...

    AR adaptor?

    So I have an Olympic Arms Version of the old service .22 LR and like it. What I am wondering is why no one makes a .32 ACP adaptor for the 7.62x39 AR. Maybe a vz61 skorpion mag fixed in a mag or even just a Keltec ten shot for feeding Seems like it would be a lot of fun. Shoot I have been...
