    Field Stripping Browning Auto 5 (Original)

    I inherited a Model 11. It had a couple of bulges in the barrel. I got a replacement barrel and had it restored. The only problem I had with it was gunked up grease in the action spring tube. Took care of that and it hums along nicely.

    45 Colt, Blackhawk or SAA?

    I have been playing with Ruger single actions for a bit over 20 years. In that time, I have come to some conclusions. As an engineer, I like the overbuilt frame of the NMBH. I don’t load up my .45 Colt’s or .44 Magnum’s to the max, but it is nice knowing I can, if I am crazy enough to want to...

    350 Legend vs 300 Blackout?

    For me, it is an easy question. In MD, the .350 is legal for deer in counties formerly restricted to shotgun; the .300 BO is not.

    DPMS 5.56 .223 buffer spring question

    Another area to look at is the gas rings on the bolt. If the gun was working properly before, it could be the gas block, and it could also be the gas rings. They are inexpensive and may deserve to be replaced.

    Thoughts on these new Sig military rifles?

    SAW, perhaps. Rifle, probably not for long.

    My Beretta Weatherby Mark XXII .22L.R.

    I bought one of those when I graduated from high school in 1966. At the moment, it is sitting in my gun safe waiting its turn to go out to play.

    Changing sights on new S&W 317

    I did the same thing to mine changing out the rear V blade for a square notch blade. I also changed out the front sight for a black, serrated ramp.

    Gave the .040 bushing a try in mini 14.

    I tried 0.040". Ejection was too anemic. Went to 0.046" and everything is fine.

    Rocking Remingtons

    My Rockin' Remington is a Model 11. I had to get a new barrel for it. It now has removable choke tubes, ghost ring rifle sights, a Browning A5 plastic forearm, extended mag, and the A5 quick load 2 piece lifter. I use it for 3 Gun competition.

    Thoughts on the Dan Wesson 751 (.41 mag

    When you consider which 741 to buy, you might want to check the chamber throats. My 744 had very tight throats. It shot much better after reeming thrm to a uniform 0.431".

    Marlin Golden 39M

    I have a 39A with the pistol grip stock and a 39M with the straight stock. I prefer the pistol grip, but converting a straight grip gun to pistol grip is not going to be easy. Not only is it the lever, it is also the receiver.

    Marlin Golden 39M

    Parts are available to replace some of the worst parts, like the inner and outer magazine tubes. Any of these guys who do restoration work could tell you what is available. You could transform it into a nice shooter.

    Marlin Golden 39M

    Depends on how much you want to spend in the restoration. The high dollar restore would be to send it to someone like Turnbull. He could probably have it looking better than new.

    Why does SC not honor Washington DC CCW

    If that were true, why was there concern when homosexuals from East Podunk went to MA after they legalized same sex marriage, got a marriage license, got married, then went home to East Podunk, and even though it was illegal in East Podunk, they had to recognize the legality of the MA wedding?

    Why does SC not honor Washington DC CCW

    Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution Article IV, Section 1: Sect. 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public act, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may, by general laws, prescribe the manner in which such acts...

    Looking for a .22 Kit Gun

    I have a Bearcat, and I have large hands. I have accommodated the tiny grip and it shoots well. What I couldn't abide was the tiny sights. Before the adjustable sight versions of the Bearcat became available, I had a S&W J frame sight setup put on mine. The little gun, with workable sights...

    Early FN A5 Identification

    What do you intend to do with it? I have an Auto 5 that I use for 3 gun. One of the reasons I like it is the Speed Load feature. Yours is old enough it doesn't have that, but the parts can be retrofitted if you have a need for rapid reloads. If you intend to shoot it, the first thing is to check...

    9mm PCC Bolt choice?

    For a bolt, there seem to be 2 types, the ones with the 1911 type extractor, and the ones with the AR-15 type extractor. I favor the AR extractor, then put in an extra power spring and a rubber donut. My bolts from Stern Defense have a removable internal weight and weigh in at about 15 oz. I use...

    CA Handgun Roster/Unsafe Handgun Act facing new legal challenges

    If they are going to go after a handgun roster board in CA, I hope they also include the similar handgun roster board in MD.

    France Makes Push to Collect Heirloom Weapons

    I bicycle toured the Normandy coast in June 2018. I was surprised how much, 74 yrs. after D Day, they love Americans and hate Germans. They must have been very poorly treated by their German occupiers.
