I've been looking for a 22 lever gun for a while. Something that would be fun for me to plink with and something my son will like when he graduates from the "Chipmunk". While I would like a Win 9422 or Marlin 39A, these rarely get below $300 and I am just looking for a plinker. A local...

In my opinion it would depend on where it's been. If you bought it directly from one of the distributors (SOG, Century, AIM, J&G, etc), then I would say "disassemble, clean and inspect" should be sufficient. One of the reasons these are such awesome rifles is because they were carried a lot...

DWS1117, German Sales Promotion recently imported a batch of Russian TT-33 pistols WITHOUT the added safety (like the Polish TT-33s have). These are refurbished pistols in excellent condition that are believed to have come from Germany (although there are no East German proofs). Although...

I have the plain-jane one-dot Bushnell Trophy on my P22. 1" tube with 6 MOA dot. Boring for paper shooting but makes can plinking lots of fun. The mount doesn't feel all that great (too flexible), but it seems to work okay without any zeroing problems. I got mine from Midway USA for about...

Thanks for the help guys. Interesting that the dates seem to conflict according to B36's serial number. For now though I'll go with 1932. Thanks again, :) LL :)

Agreed. My K31 is nice. Buy my SR 1911 long rifle is absolutely dreamy. The most accurate milsurp I own, period! However, the top 10 list is very accurate. K31s are simply the best all-around value you can find right now. Ammo isn't exactly cheap, but the rifle makes up for that with...

Tampa, FL gunshow.

I picked up a Colt Police Positive in .38 Special this weekend at the gunshow. It's serial number is 4086xx. The seller believed it to be made in the 30's to 40's. The bluing appears original and about 95% with wear on some of the high spots. The metal finish is superb with no pitting or...

Hmm, I think I just might be an idiot. This takedown screw thing just kept bugging and bugging me. It then dawned on me that before I looked at the Winchester I was looking at a Marlin 22 lever rifle. So I go scanning around for pictures and sure enough, the Marlin 39A has a large takedown...

Thanks for the reply. The bluing does seem deeper than in your picture. It's entirely possible it's been polished and refinished considering it's age yet how good it looks. For the takedown screw, I started thinking maybe they had simply replaced the original with a finger-turnable version...

While perusing a local pawn show I found a nice Winchester 9422 lever action that looks tempting. Here's the specs that I wrote down from the barrel and receiver: Winchester 9422M XTR .22 Win Mag SN: F3584xx It has a very deep blue which seems unusual as I'm used to their more matte...

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! That was exactly it. I finger tightened it down and it works fine now. Two questions about the Loc-tite: 1) Do I need to degrease both threaded parts? Not sure how I'd get inside the one part. 2) How tight does it need to be? Finger tight, or use a...

I have an older pre-number suffix 686 4-ish" revolver that I bought used about a year or so ago. It does not have the M stamp indicating it's been back to S&W for the binding problem fix. It does, however, have a light SA trigger and I suspect either S&W or a gunsmith has worked on it at some...

How can someone zip-tie a loaded gun? Not only a Glock, but any loaded gun? I've always seen them zip-tied one of two ways: 1) Pistol is cleared, zip-tie is run through the barrel and out the ejection port. Result: cannot possibly chamber a round. 2) Pistol is cleared, trigger is...

I had one for a little while. In fact, it was my second handgun ever after many years of just owning a Beretta 92F. Mine was an Interarms PPK/S bought around 98-99. Considering that I bought the Beretta coincidentally after I saw Lethal Weapon, it wouldn't surprise me if I coincidentally...

Here's my OD G19 with it's OD Sten-15 accessory ;) LL

My solution, while probably not the best, has worked like a champ for me so far. I've always liked Harris Bipods and wanted one for my M1A. The problem was a lack of QD stud. I could have screwed one in to the stock, but I hated the idea of messing with an otherwise beautiful stock. I...

For the importer, you should go by what's stamped on the rifle. Tags could have been put on by anyone along the way, but only the importer would/should stamp the rifle. Usually the stamp is near the muzzle of the barrel or on the receiver itself. It should say something like "CAI, St Alb VT...

I'd like to enter as well. Pocket Defender Convertable 2-in-1 for Kel-Tec P-32, RH carry, dark brown. Thanks! :D LL :D

Thanks for the replies. I got the flask filled up and I think you're right, I won't be using all of that in one outing. I also have some Pyrodex pellets to try as well. I bought one of those powder can funnels and was able to fill the flask through it's tube screw hole. Those screwlets...
