    Marlin 1894 "Cowboy" .... Need a bit of help??

    I have a Marlin 1894, which has a plastic follower in the mag tube. It's OK but I want to replace it with an aluminum follower, which I have already obtained. My problem is the end plug is held on by a transverse screw that attaches to a hanger dovetailed to the barrel, and removing the...

    WANTED: Follower for .357 magnum Marlin 1894 Cowboy.

    I own a Marlin 1894 Cowboy in .357 magnum. The magazine tube has a red plastic follower and I'd like to get a metal one. A few years ago I did this for my Rossi R92, but I've forgotten where I obtained it. Can anyone here help me? :)

    Schofield Help Inquiry

    Recently I purchased a Uberti repro of the S & W Schofield revolver, and since I purchased it used, it has no instruction manual. What I would like to know is how one disassembles the gun; very specifically, removing the cylinder for cleaning around the forcing cone, and under the top strap...

    Marlin Follower Needed....

    I recently bought a Marlin 1894 "Cowboy" in .357 magnum. I have noticed that the magazine follower is plastic. A few years back I purchased a Rossi 92R with the same type of follower and was able to update it with a metal one. Does anyone make a metal follower for the .357Mag. 1894 Cowboy...

    .300 BLK Ammo Question re: super/subsonic

    I recently purchased a Sig MCX "Rattler" AR Pistol in .300 Blackout. The weapon has an adjustable valve setting on the gas piston mechanism to select for supersonic or subsonic ammo. My question is, that while some brands appear to state on the box if it's super or sub sonic, other brands do...

    Bump Stocks Banned

    I heard that the Trump administration has now banned bump stocks. When this goes into the registry, owners have 90 days to dispose/turn them in. I heard this on the top of hour radio news brief just before Rush Limbaugh starts, so, sorry, no url to post.

    DPMS Sportical AR-10 ?

    I just got back from a quick trip to Academy Sports where I decided to inquire about AR-10s. I was shown a DPMS "Sportical" for ....um .... $649? Maybe it was $749.00 . Seemed to be a nice rifle, basic, no FA, no dustcover. No sights but picatinny rails. Now, what I'm asking -- and not...

    According to a Fox News report aired a minute ago a Massachusetts judge judge just refused to hear a case attempting to reverse a state assault weapon ban. The judge reportedly stated that the subject arms fall outside the scope of 2A protections. Does anyone here have any idea what...

    Struck By Lightning!

    I really shouldn't attend gun shows. I have no excuse, and I should know better; the only saving grace was this one cost me only about half as much as the last one. I found and bought an interesting revolver -- a Colt Lightning in .38 Colt. This is an interesting historical gun as it was...

    FINALLY .... a >ERSATZ< "Colt" 1911 Model ... I was at Academy Sports today and .... well.... :uhoh:... got caught up in an impulse. But, hey, "early X-MAS gift" that thought can justify a lot of monetary damage. I have always had a sorta deep felt desire to own a (actually a Remington R1)...

    "Ghost" Gun?

    I have a question I'd like to put to the membership here. Keep in mind this is NOT intended to be political but informational: I have heard the term "ghost gun" bandied around in the media. Just exactly what is supposed to be a ghost gun? The term makes no sense at all to me. I suspect...

    What to do about a leather holster?

    I just received a pretty nice leather holster for a semi auto 9mm. It's "form fitting" and has a leather thumb snap. The problem is this: I am admittedly ignorant about leather. The stiffness of the material on this holster itself doesn't bother me -- I realize it's necessary to hold the...

    Wedge Issue in "Shooting Times"

    I know there are experts here who could probably write a book on BP firearms, but in the recent issue (April 2012) issue of "Shooting Times" magazine there is an article about fitting a Colt barrel wedge in reproduction revolvers. Some of you guys may find it interesting. Check out page 24.

    Colt 1860 London?

    I was paging through my most recent Cabela's catalog and happened on the cap & ball revolvers. Looking at them I managed to control my drooling long enough to notice what is being marketed as a Colt 1860 London. I know Colt made a 1851 Navy .36 caliber in their London based company -- actually...
