    Weird 22lr action...is this a real thing or is something broken?

    I was taking a look at an old Stevens "Buckhorn" bolt-action tube-fed 22lr rifle today, and it was looking like it was going to join my collection as the price was right...until I tried to work the action. The bolt would not cock unless the safety was on...if you tried to cock it with the...

    Colt .38 Trooper, Colt Official Police- are they essentially the same gun?

    If I understand correctly, the Colt .38 Trooper (not MKIII) and Colt Official Police look alike, share the same frame and chambering, so what's the difference? Is it smaller things like the grip, sights and hammer? Does the finishing or internal lockwork differ? More to the point, I have two...

    Which one to buy between these two 9mm handgun clones?

    I needed a fast response on this so I've posted my plea for advice in a couple places. Long story short is that I need to choose between two 9mm clones and I can't step back and get perspective anymore, I need somebody to tell me which is the better deal. I can either get a used $250 FEG...

    Is this revolver safe to fire?

    Hi y'all. Need some advice. I bought this Detective Special on gbroker today for a good price...but I noticed it at the last minute and didn't have time to consult anybody before the auction ended. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=91808288 The problem, as you can see in...

    Help me decide which milsurp bolt-action rifles to keep!

    Hello all. looking through my rifle collection yesterday (which has been ignored for a few years as I've gotten into trapshooting), I realized that I've got milsurp rifles in too many calibers. Back in the day when I was single and, I think, slightly looney, I bought a whole slew of milsurps...

    Is it normal for over-unders to have extremely stiff actions when new?

    I have a couple more questions about my new over/under (my first). It's a Lanber 2087, and the action is VERY stiff. 1) Breaking the gun open takes some effort... and closing it is even harder- I have to use the release lever to close it...the lock plate is stiff and the lugs can't move the...

    Help- can't close my new o/u, does it have a problem?

    Help- can't close the action on my new o/u, what's the problem? Hello all. Brought home my first o/u today, a new Lanber 2087. I discovered that once the gun was broke open, it can't be closed it without moving the break-open lever to the side (same as you do when opening an o/u). If I try...

    Any love for the S&W CS9 (Chief's Special 9mm)?

    Curious if anybody else likes this S&W throwback from the late 90s. Probably one of the last completely-metal lightweight small 9s to be made by anybody...20 oz, 7 rd mag... ....and pretty lousy to shoot, at least for me- bad trigger, hi bore axis, and doesn't fit great in my hand. Still...I...

    Need advice! My Taurus is seizing, I'm baffled...

    Hopefully the knowledgeable here can chime in and tell me what's up with my newish revolver. I've never had a revolver w/a problem before... I bought a used Taurus md66 .357 a few months ago, but stupidly neglected to take it to the range right away for a test run. It was in pretty good shape...

    Longer barrel for a Norinco 87 Lever?

    Hello all. I've been looking at a Norinco 87 lever action for something different at the trap range, but I think I'll need something better than the 20" barrel it ships with. Does anybody know if a barrel swap is possible? I assume that you might be able to swap with an honest-to-goodness...
