    Looking for more information on old Mercury Model M-34, single shot 10 gauge shotgun. Made in Spain.

    I've had this collecting dust for several years, got it from a yard sale for $50 in as-is condition. Seller knew nothing about it, sat in their closet for decades. but as far as I can tell it is in functioning condition, the action locks up solidly and the firing pin pokes through the breech...

    60th Anniversary Ruger 10/22

    Saw this very compelling Lipsey's exclusive condut on gun.deals last week and emailed my local family owned FFL (A F Boyer Hardware in Slatington, shoutout to them for being in business since 1868, across 5 generations!) about it. Turns out they already had this specific configuration rifle on...

    Girsan Regard MC39 (Turkish Beretta 92 clone but with frame mounted 1911-style safety)

    Picked this up on a killer internet deal for $277, figured it was too cheap not to try. It eliminates the biggest problem I have with my 92fs, that is the awkward and backward-functioning slide mounted safety. Brought it home, and compared to the real 92fs, this one has a barrel about 0.5"...

    Pre-1956 Marlin 39A adding aperture rear sight

    I just picked up this gorgeous 1950-dated 39A that has a single threaded hole atop the receiver, and want to install a peep sight. Is there anything available that I can mount without drilling additional holes into this piece of history? Thanks! :)

    Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7

    Just dropped an hour ago courtesy of Honest Outlaw on Youtube: Gas operated, 22+1 round capacity, double-stack/double-feed mags, full size but very slim frame, factory-threaded barrel, built-in red dot mount directly on slide, 26 ounce weight. Looks really sweet and might finally drag me...

    Question about CMP Rimfire Sporter matches

    According to the rules I found on their website, the few limitations on equipment to participate are that your rifle can't weigh over 7.5 lbs with optics and empty magazine, and that the trigger must support a 3.0 lb weight without firing. I was looking into possibly attending a match, but...

    Ever find cartridges or empty cases of calibers you don't shoot?

    Sure, this is expected when policing my brass at a range. But at home?? Found these two today while cleaning up some neglected corners of my basement. I've never even owned anything chambered for either of these. Who knows how they found their way here.

    First shots with a silencer

    Very pleasant and relaxing to shoot without ear plugs or muffs. Kudos to Dead Air Silencers for making a great product. Bullet impacting the berm at 100 yards was louder than the report of the rifle. Point of impact changed a tiny bit compared to without the can but I was able to adjust for...

    Shooting down an Su-34 with a rifle

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11181503/Ukrainian-pensioner-shoots-74million-Russian-Su-34-jet-RIFLE-awarded-medal.html Color me skeptical. What say you folks? While theoretically possible to strike with a high powered rifle if the plane was flying low enough, the odds of not only...

    Girsan MCP35 Hi-Power

    Finally found one, and at a reasonable price too. Got the two-tone version. Already took it apart and gave it a once-over, and installed a new trigger sub-assembly from BHSpringSolutions, which dropped the trigger weight by over a pound and eliminated the mag disconnect safety, which I...

    Taurus 692, where did it go?

    I got the 6.5" barrel stainless version two years ago for $465, and have been very happy with it. Put about 500 rounds through it so far and never a hiccup. About 400 of those rounds were 9mm, the other 100 were .357 mag. Was making recommendations to a friend for affordable wheelguns, and...

    Ukraine to Grant Citizens Right to Bear Arms

    https://www.nationalreview.com/news/ukraine-to-declare-state-of-emergency-grant-citizens-right-to-bear-arms/ This is about as 2A related as it gets. Let this be a wakeup call to any fence sitters and casual antis out there. Bearing arms isn't a luxury, it's the duty of a free people who want...

    Brownells / KE Arms WWSD 2020 rifle review

    I pre-ordered this rifle back in March of last year, had it delivered in October. Installed a Holosun red dot and Vortex micro 3x magnifier. Got it sighted in, and that's when the problems began. ~The Bad~ First few magazines, I got six failures to ignite, three failures to feed, one random...

    First CZ Rifle

    I applied for a silencer tax stamp earlier this year, and while I wait for that to come through (not expecting it till at least April or May of 2022), I decided to go shopping for a threaded barrel .22 rifle with which to use it. After much deliberation and research, I decided on a CZ 457...

    Ruger gp100 in .22lr

    anyone have one of these? Opinions on handling and accuracy for target shooting out to 25 or maybe 50 yards? Any mounting options for a compact red dot or holo sight? Looking to supplant or replace my Smith 63 which is just a bit too small in my hands and its been having constant fit/lockup...

    J frame ejector lockup loose

    just got this guy back from S&W for a slow timing issue, they replaced the extractor, yoke, and hand according to the enclosed paperwork. Now the cylinder doesn't seem to positively lock at the front, as it wobbles quite a bit: Is this usual or do I need to do some adjustment to the...

    Importing F/A-18 Fighter Jets from Australia!

    https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32869/this-man-owns-the-worlds-most-advanced-private-air-force-after-buying-46-f-a-18-hornets What piques my curiosity is the legality of this in particular: Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, there is no loophole or exemption for aircraft...

    Taurus 692SS, anyone got one?

    Been tinkering with the idea of getting a 9mm revolver so I can share ammo with my brass chuckers, and this gun came up in my searches. Large frame, 8 shot cyl capacity .357 mag that comes with a 9mm cylinder that's quick-change (takes 10 seconds with the push of a button on the frame). I...

    Refinished WWII pistol with illegible frame serial number

    Is it a violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(k) if the serial number is still fully legible on the slide and barrel but not the frame? Does it matter if the refinish was done before the 1968 GCA was passed? Thanks :)

    New S&W 19 Classic vs Old (technical review and disassembly)

    This is an excellent perspective of an old S&W armoror who worked on old police-issued revolvers for years back in the 70s and 80s. He takes apart a new S&W Model 19-9 Classic and points out all the revisions in design and manufacture that make it a vastly superior working gun to the old relics...
