    Serial number fell off.

    Two months ago, I went to sell my FNX-45. I’m the original owner. Deal was made but buyer pointed out the serial number was missing. So no sale. The metallic strip with the SN on the bottom of the frame had fallen off. And I don’t know where or when. And that’s apparently the only place FN...

    KKM Barrels

    I ordered a KKM Barrel through their website about a month ago. I never received any response that they received my order. I've emailed them twice inquiring about the order and never received any response to the emails. I know everyone's busy and orders are backed up. I just want to know if...

    Need Help Identifying Bullets

    A friend gave me several hundred bullets he's had stored for years. They are round nose, fmj bullets. I thought initially they were 9mm because of their appearance but they're all 150 grain and they measure .356. I'm thinking they're something other than 9mm. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...

    PTR-91 Polymer Trigger Group

    I've shot HK-91's and had an SAR-8. Considering a PTR-91 but I'm not familiar with the polymer trigger group they're advertising. Anyone had any experience with this trigger?

    Star Bullets - Need My Memory Jogged

    I'm trying to recreate one of my older .40 S&W loads that used Star bullets. (I'm under the impression they are no longer in business.) My question is: were Star bullets actually FMJ (like Remington, etc. makes) or were they plated bullets like Rainier makes? Thanks for any help.

    Need AR15 Wisdom

    Just got a new Bushmaster carbine (14.5 in. barrel.) It's my third AR. This one is having reliability issues. Problem is probably an extraction problem. I'm getting the bolt back with a loaded round under the spent casing problem. During the first 50 rounds this happened about every 3rd or...

    2006 Witness Polymer Compact .45 ACP

    Just a note for those contemplating purchasing one of these. I bought one about two weeks ago to use as a low priced, plinking, leave-it-hidden-upstairs for home defense purposes. Plus it had been awhile since I had a new gun. You know how it is. Anyway, the good news is that as far as...

    20-Round Thermolds?

    I have a friend who's looking for 20-round Thermold or Orlite mags for an AR-15. Does anyone know if they make those in 20-round configuration? If they make them, does anyone know a source? All I can find are 30 rounders. Thanks in advance.

    Stainless SA Mil-Spec

    Returned to the world of 1911's this week. Purchased a SA stainless Mil-Spec. (Traded in a Beretta 8045F - great gun but never got used to the initial trigger pull.) The Mil-Spec came with non-wraparound Hogue grips with palm swells. Don't know if that's factory or if the factory plastic was...

    SWC in 8045 Cougar?

    Does anyone know if the Beretta Cougar in .45 ACP likes SWC ammo? The Sig P220 I had didn't like SWC so I thought I'd ask before I order the bullets. Currently using FMJ but want to try my favorite 1911 SWC load in it. Thanks in advance.

    Kimber Quality - Shame on me

    I don't want this to sound like whining or a knock against Kimbers. Had a nice one some years ago. But I did want to bring this experience to light so that potential purchasers might examine the guns closely before closing the deal. Bought a Custom II this week. Never out of the box, packing...

    Cast Bullet Load(s) for Guide Gun

    Does anyone have a favorite load for a Marlin Guide Gun (45-70) using 405 grain or 300 grain cast bullets? I've got several loads with jacketed bullets that work great with this rifle, but I'm really not satisfied with my cast bullet loads. I have some reduced power loads that work fine at...

    SAR-8 Muzzle Non-brake

    Just bought an unfired SAR-8 (with the "8" stamped over a "3"), made in Greece with the steel receiver. Came with the thumbhole stock removed and a green pistol grip stock and forearm attached. I'm happy. The only problem is that it has this politically correct non muzzle brake thing on...

    Load Request - 38 Spl. Light Recoil

    Am going to work up a load for my wife to use in an airweight S&W Chief using 110 grain hollow points. Looking for the least recoil in a load that would still get the job done at distances to 10 yards or so. She's not actually recoil shy, but the practicing becomes a bit tedious with hot...

    Garand Bore Guide Problem

    Just got a new Garand. Bought a bore guide. One of those black plastic (Delrin) things that attach to the end and gently guide the cleaning rod through a center brass guide without messing up the crown on your bore. Have used them previously on other rifles. Rod and jag go through the device...

    .308 AK mags interchangeable?

    Just purchased a Saiga in .308. Are the mags from any other .308 AK variant (Vepr for example) useable with the Saiga? Thanks in advance for any insights.

    FN49 Loads?

    Just acquired an FN49 in 8mm Mauser. I'm currently using a load I used for a Yugo Mauser (46.5 grains of IMR 4064 behind a 170 grain bullet.) I'm wondering if the powder may be too slow for the semi auto rifle. Rifle has a gas adjustment on it, but I'd prefer to not mess with it unless...

    Ishapore Bayonet?

    One of my friend's 13 year old son is the proud owner of an Enfield (Ishapore) - one of the .308 varieties. He's restored the weapon and is looking for a bayonet for it. It seems that the different Enfield varieties had their own type of bayonet. Does anybody know the type, description, or...

    Whitney Wolverine

    Just received a nice Whitney Wolverine (.22 semi auto pistol) as a gift. I had never heard of one let alone laid eyes on one. Here's my possibly futile question. Does anyone know of a source for an owner's manual or disassembly/assembly instructions? Thanks.
