A friend of mine scored a webley style revolver over in the sandbox. He says it has "Hollis & Sons" on it, so he is unsure of who made it and when. It is a break open six-shooter in what may be .455. You squeeze two clamps on either side of the frame to open the cylinder. It is a lovely patina...

Whoops, typo in the thread title. Please delete mods, thanks.

Hey everyone. A search didn't come up with the answer, so I'll just ask it. I got invited on a dove hunt. Never done it before so now I have to figure out what shotgun to use. All I have are short barrelled HD style shotguns; an 870 poolice, some 1897s, and a 9200 that doesn't work :(. I do...

Just in time to use as a stocking stuffer, the incredible WW2 flick "The Great Raid" is out on DVD. This is a fantastic war film (the Ranger rescue of US soldiers held in the Philippeans), especially if you are tired of the preachy, sentimental crap that weighs down a lot of other new "war"...

Just a heads up on a new Fox show that is almost blatantly pro-gun! The premise is a forensic anthropologist (analyses skeletal remains to determine identity, cause and manner of death, etc) teams up with a FBI agent to crack cases. While there is a lot of soap opera-ish fluff between all of the...

Anyone else get that DVD "The Top Ten Guns that Changed the World" and the 1903 Springfield coin? I've seen the video on the History Channel but the coin is pretty cool. Any ideas what the other DVDs will be? I figure they will just be the 1 hour "Tales of the Gun" episodes, but at $9 with a...

Hey everyone. I'm looking into upgrading the theft/fire protection on my guns. I'm using Homak cabinets right now. I've read up on the gun safe vs residential security container debate and since money is an object (got a wedding to save up for!) I think I'm gonna have to opt for a RSC. The...

I just got gifted a single shot, break-open pistol, seemingly chambered in .22LR. It says: HY HUNTER ---FIREARMS MFG. CO (can't make out the --- part) HOLLYWOOD CALIF MADE IN WEST GERMANY on the left side of the barrel, below that is "22I" (or 22L). Any idea what this thing is?

A friend of mine broke the hammer-mounted firing pin on his Rossi revolver during dry-fire practice. Is this something that he can fix himself (replace pin or hammer), will he need a smith, or does it have to go back to the factory? I don't know the specific model, but he says it is a 2" snubby...

Hi everyone. I am going to DC for a 2 week conference. I will be staying just inside Maryland however, at a Holiday Inn in Silver Springs, Maryland. Is it legal (and advisable) to bring in my Kimber 1911 and keep it in my hotel room? I am flying into Regan airport, but will have a rental car for...

Any of you guys catch the segment on Fox News (during their morning show) that showed some US soldiers doing house clearing? One soldier (looked like a staff sergeant) had what looked to be a BHP while another soldier with a flattop M-16 with a long scope moved in front of him. The whole video...
