I picked up one of these little .25's at a gun show recently, and was trying to get a date of manufacture. from what i could gather, it appears to be a 2nd model, pre 1925 make, with the late model thumb safety, and an early model narrow trigger. I know the grips appear to be for a later...

Greetings High roaders After I stupidly sold my AR a week before Sandy Hook, I'd been scrambling to get another. The PX got a surprise shipment last week of M&P 15's with a flat top and a detachable carry handle for 1079. Not terrible after the rebate. However, I was a little less than...

A few weeks back, I picked up a Colt Conversion unit for a song. I went to the range today to try her out, the first 6 rounds fired fine, then I got a double feed, and the round of the second bullet stuck the primer of the first hard enough to set it off, firing out of battery, resulting in a...

Greetings everyone I was gifted one of these a while back, and i'd been slowly piecing it together, with varying difficulties along the way. now that i have it all together, the firing pin doesn't cock when you rack the slide. Tried taking it to the local gunsmith, and was told to get a new...

Greetings all, I recently found a colt vest pocket hiding under some floorboards of an old barn After cleaning it up and fitting a barrel to the lugs, I have all the pieces put in place. I tried racking the slide, and dry firing, to no avail, tried chambering a round, and the slide...

While I was in Afghanistan I purchased an M1 Carbine from SOG in January, and recently go home to take a look at the small collection I purchased. I got a 1944 production Inland, The Metal is in 90-95% shape, with little wear. The stock however looks like it's been tied to a jeep, drug down a...

Hello All, I bought a stainless GP100 for a song a few years back for a song, but the previous owner had removed the irons and added a scope mount, and a laughably large red dot. I recently got around to purchasing new Irons and getting them installed, but when the scope mount was...

I recently bought a Wilson Combat beavertail grip, Commander hammer, and trigger to replace a normal safety and trigger and a spur hammer. Are these parts able to be fit by myself with a caliper, hand files and patience? I'd like to consider myself mechanically inclined, or should i take...

Thought I'd venture into the calibers that start with .4's I know these are made off Colt tooling leased to the Argentine government. The one I'm getting isnt a collector by any means, has a handful of replaced modern parts, hammer, Barrel bushing, Guide rod, etc. along with no finish left, and...

Greetings all, I'm Looking at picking up a S&W Victory in about 85% finish, serial number in the 343xx range, so between '43-'45 manufacture, Its not marked for a branch of service, but is stamped what appears to be "KOP" opposite the serial on the butt of the gun. Could this be a police or...

I'm thinking of dabbling in reloading when i get back from deployment, and i was looking at stuff to get set up, and the sticky was saying i needed reloading trays for holding ammo. Is there any reason why i couldnt use the styrofoam blocks from factory ammo cases?

Out at the base a handful of gun guys were sitting in the bunker during a rocket attack about pdw guns. Someone suggested an AR in .450 bushmaster, but with an 8" barrel and a pistol buffer tube, draped over the body on a single point sling. Is such a beast even possible or would it blow...

So I recently put my first ar together and it has ran smoothly. but when i took it apart to clean it, i noticed some small discrepancies i havent seen on my M16 they give me in the corps. the first being the bolt hold open latch. If i load an empty mag and charge the weapon, the latch doesnt...

I was looking at the spike's tactical 9mm uppers over at AIM, and it got me thinking about getting one, but use the same lower instead of build a whole new rifle, I know in addition to swapping uppers, id need to remove the mag block, but will the 9mm hammer function with a 5.56 upper?

I'm Currently on a deployment to Arizona, and shopping around the local gun stores, i found a few beauties that may need to go home with me. I know I can be sold rifles and shotguns out here, but there is a king cobra with my name on it and I dont know the laws pertaining to handguns.

I never understood why the groove in the middle of the barrel between the FSB and the muzzle is there. Can anyone clairify? seems like a waste of machining to me.

I've been Trying to find information about this NRA highpower rifle match. Ive heard it takes place at camp perry, and since that isnt too awfully far from my home, Id like to try and compete. far as i know; 1. its a comptetion held by the 2nd MARDIV, for active duty and reserve marines...
