    New one? .450 Short Colt

    Being made by Fiocchi, with a registered trademark symbol on the name. (look at last entry in the table) http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=453961 I guess this is for people who have old .45 Colt sixguns and are a bit unsure of full power loads. And ain't it a cute little...

    Mauser k98 seen, odd sling swivel

    Last week I spent time in a nice WW2 museum in the Netherlands, and there was a room with a collection of German paratrooper displays, guns, dummy people smartly turned out in the unique uniforms and gear etc. And yes, some of the FG-42 weapons. But one had a k98 slung muzzle down over...

    Heller decision as applied to other anti-gun subjects

    I'm new to this Legal Room. Just a newbie. But I have some thoughts about other problems we gun owners face, and what the Heller case means now. First, that Rebecca Peters person (think that is her name) that is trying to ban all civilian guns for all people in all countries, with the UN...

    Did US Marines use the Krag-Jorg.?

    Hold on, I do know about the Navy & USMC using the 6mm Lee around 1900. But I have the latest Military Heritage magazine and it has an article on the Krag. One pic show USMC on a ship's deck, all kitted out for going ashore. It says they are part of the relief force going to Peking to...

    No. 4 Enfield in .45 ACP

    I saw some for sale yesterday, from Century. The ones I touched were Savage No.4 Mk1 (with the US Gov property stamp) that had been given very short barrels (just barely legal length) in .45 ACP and use standard 1911 magazines. They have a pistol magazine guide setup in place of the standard...

    Peep sight on AK47 receiver cover.

    I was sure that somebody offered the sight, or the service of mounting one, to give something of a Galil sight setup. But lots of Google time has led to nothing. I was sure that Krebs offered it. Anybody know? A custom gunsmith who mounts a good peep sight for an AK, near the eye where it...

    LawDog has posted another good one.

    It's Critter versus Construction Crew. http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/ Bart Noir Who just found out he can't edit the title. So, the correct name is LawDog.

    M&P-15 needs break-in period?

    Bought on on Saturday, fired it up on Sunday. And it was a jammamatic, seldom successfully loading a second round. Tried with 3 different magazines, and suspected the bolt wasn't coming all the way back. In fact, after the last round in a mag it wasn't and we could tell that. We kept...

    My first Mauser (Yugo M48)

    So I still have this 50-round MG belt of 8mm cartridges (Made in Egypt, go figure.) for my brother’s rifle, which he sold about the time I got the ammo. And there was this Yugo M48 in the pawn shop, in very nice shape. So I bought it. And have a question. The butt-plate is smooth...

    Ruger Alaskan in .45 ACP

    No, that is not a mistake. There is one that shoots .45 ACP. :D Actually, all the .454 Casull Alaskans do. You just need the special moonclip. The one my brother invented. I gave him a moonclip for N-frames and he set to work with a Dremel tool. He thinned the "finger" area of the...

    Px4 frame has a ripple in it.

    No, nothing to do with cheap wine. Or is it PX4? I await the nomenclature Nazi's correcting me Last night I noticed that my Px4 has a ripple (or bump) in the frame, just above my riight-handed grip on the right side. I have fired only 3 or 4 boxes of .40 through it and sure hope that...

    M1 Garand loading problem

    I have a new (to me) M1 Garand and fired it with 8-round clips for the first time, and I am a new-bee with the M1. The ammo was Korean surplus and it worked every time. But there was a nagging problem. In over 120 rounds, there was not a single clip where the insertion of the clip resulted...

    8mm rounds from Arab country

    I find I own a 50-round belt of machine gun ammo, this being the WW2 German style of belt. The headstamps have Arabic symbols and numerals. At first I thought I had 7.5 MAS made in Syria, since I knew that 7.5 French was made in Syria and I knew that the French copied the machine gun feed...

    Told myself I'd never see a Swiss Stgw-57.....

    So the recent issue of American had an article from 50 years back, about the Swiss adopting the Stgw-57 rifle, a magazine-fed full-auto military rifle. http://www.world.guns.ru/assault/as45-e.htm I told myself this would be a rare one in the US and I would never actually see one for...

    Beretta mags good in Taurus?

    My coworker has an early model Taurus 9mm, the model that is the same as the original Beretta 92, that is, the safety is frame mounted and not on the slide. I told him that I believe that the magazines for the Beretta 92 will work fine in his Taurus. Am I right or wrong? Bart Noir

    STATE FIRE MARSHAL

    Those words are engraved on the S&W model 6906 that I just bought. I has been fired, but shows not a single external sign of being used or carried. I feel I got a great deal on a gun that I like. But those engraved words! Do you think that maybe somewhere they put more emphasis on...

    Shot to death.......the gun, I mean!

    Yesterday I watched a guy and his sons rent an XD in 9mm. Later they brought it back, with lots of apologies. Seems it was busted. The employees were very nice about it, took it apart, and that's when the "gee whiz" statements started. The frame-mounted feed ramp had broken off. This...

    Gunfire on Myth Busters tonight

    Tonight they will have some Old West shooting in the show. I saw a whole line of the "cast", "staff", whatever we call them, shooting old model lever action carbines. Might have been a rifle too. And then some fast draw work. So I'll be watching. Bart Noir

    Colt Magnum Carry in 9mm

    I was at the Colt Collector’s Association gunshow in Louisville last weekend, and saw my first Colt Magnum Carry. Held it in my hands in fact, and it was a multi-caliber version, built by the same people who built the Medusa revolver. It could fire and extract 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum...

    This does violate a few rules, laws, common sense yet strangly appeals to me. http://www.glumbert.com/media/carshoot Bart Noir
