can anyone steer me towards info and possibly value of some old engraved Smith and Wesson fixed blade knives? There is a set of 4 with presentation boxes

Ruger quit making the P95 a while ago and they don't have any of the recoil springs for sale. I've nosed around and can't seem to find anyone else who makes them either. I've checked Numrich for spare parts, Brownell's, Wolff springs... can't seem to find anyone that makes them. In fact, I...

I've been playing around with so.e different loads in both the S&W 637 and Ruger SP-101. The Smith is a 1&7/8 inch barrel in .38 while the Ruger is 2.25" chambered for .357 magnum. The Smith is on horizontally with whatever 158 grain ammo I've tried. Vertical shifts with muzzle velocity of...

You just have to have fun with it sometimes.

My experience with Garands is severely limited and my buddy just got one from a family member. It will fire and eject the first three or four rounds with no problem. Then the rifle will try to vomit out the entire rest of the clip. We all find this a little disconcerting. The rifle is clean...

If so many women and older folks are supposedly getting into shooting why don't we see middle/full-sized handguns in .32 and .380? If it's not for concealed carry but rather home defense or just plain shooting range happiness then should there be more pistols designed to be more comfortable for...

Since the new Ruger Charger has a modular AR type grip will it be possible to fit it it with a Century Arms arm brace? Conjecture?

Has anyone rigged a forearm brace to a lever action mare's leg handgun?

I decided to update the Davey Crickett with an adult-sized stock. I opted for the wood stock. I am impressed by the quality of the wood. Like the original, tiny stock it is held in place by a single screw. The good news is that not only did the company send a 'security bit' to take off the old...

Well, I tried some CCI Quiet-22 ammo in both a Ruger Mk-II and a Colt/Walther/Umarex Rail Gun. It wouldn't cycle either one even with a suppressor attached to the Colt. It was very quiet but it required hand-cycling. CCI's website mentions that this may be the case. Ely subsonic worked in...

Let's say someone had a psychotic episode and somehow managed to create a cylinder for a Nagant revolver chambered for 7.62x25mm. Could the Nagant take the pressure?

Can anybody tell me the screw/thread count size of the double screws on a Peruvian Mauser? I inherited an old one and a couple of the screws are missing. Thanks in advance.

With all of the 10/22 iterations I always wondered why Ruger didn't go with a brass-and-wood variety. I'd love the look of dark wood with brass accents. They could go with a 'traditional' feel with a brass butt plate, collar, mag' release, maybe trigger and front sight. They could...

thebangswitch dot come has an article stating that the Kalashnikov arms factory (formerly known as Izmash) will start producing Glock handguns. Could it finally happen? Could there one day be a baby Glock in 9x18 Makarov caliber? Could there be a full-sized in 7.62x25mm?! :what: I know...

Okay, I need some data. How much did adding a suppressor change the point of impact of your firearm? How much is "normal" especially for a .22? Please, list type of suppressor and firearm and at what distance. Thanks, Apple

So, I finally got my .22 suppressor... and the rounds are contacting the aperture in the front cap, so it seems. I tried it on a Colt Rail gun (.22 1911). With the suppressor on it the point of impact suddenly jumped five or six inches up and to the right. I tested the pistol with just...

I have a Colt/Umarex/Walther 1911 Rail Gun in .22 caliber. It shoots very low. It comes with windage adjustable front and rear sights. That's right, I said the front sight is windage adjustable, too. So, I am pondering either getting a new front sight (the original has a big white dot which I...

I absolutely can't believe it! I got an unexpected package in the mail today from TAPCO. In it were three brand spanking new, improved 30-round polymer magazines for the Ruger Mini-14. I have a 580- series and the older version mag's required taking the metal reinforcement piece off the front...

My cousin was shooting and this is what happened on the first round out of a particular gun. see pic Blazer aluminum case. Any idea what could cause/contribute to this? Would a cold barrel, bullet set back, or anything else you can think of cause this or was it just a bad case?

This is my father's old mossberg 185 with a C-Lect choke. My brother ended up with it and it's been sitting in the back of his closet somewhere for umpteen years until I managed to get it back. It was missing a few pieces but I replaced or made do. Today I took her to the range to see if she'd...
