I recently got an old Revolver which has badly flaking Nickle plating. The Steel underneath is fine, no rust pits overall smooth and nice. I would like to just get the Nickle Plating removed, and have it in plain steel. Can anyone recommend where to send it? Who does that kind of Work...

Does anyone know of any Factory offerings, or, good reputation 're-manufactured' Ammunition for 9 mm ( P-'08 ), which has Lead Bullets? 'Arizona Cartridge Company' used to offer them, but it looks like they are not in Business anymore. Anyway, wanting to be shooting some of my old 9 mm...

The CZ 24 .380 ACP These seem to be such a charming shape and size, a true Pocket Pistol. Are they well thought of? Reliable? Troube free? Picky about Ammo? Any User Evaluations to share? Thanks! Oye

I was looking at this advertisement - http://yhm.net/store/Maxim1911.html I am sure there must be many different makers though, each with their own particular designs or finesse. For a Colt 1911 or Government Model then, one would need to have a new Barrel which is longer, and, has...

And, who makes good 9mm Hollow-Nose Lead Bullet Ammunition, for that matter? I never liked Hardball for anything, and, having finally put a Toe into the Water with 9mm, not yet re-Loading my own, all I can seem to find is Copper Patch/FMJ.

http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=16420 Apparently it worked well against Rifle and Revolver, even though we do see some through-holes, which I assume, must have hurt. He was finally brought down by assorted Gunfire to his Legs, and, was also struck by a Shotgun Blast as he...

I recently bought an older Astra 400 Pistol. I am curious to hear from others who own and shoot them. May one use .38 ACP Ammunition in lieu of the 9mm Largo/Bayard? Are these understood to be reliable Arms of good design, and good Steel? It certainly appears to be high quality...

I won one of those internet Auctions a while back, for an unknown make, replica 3rd Model Dragoon. Usual poor images and scant describe. I figured I would take a chance, maybe a nice older ASM or some weird off-make or whatever. Shows up, and it is a very high condition Colt 2nd...

And, please elaborate or explain your example as much as you like, along with the images. Range Reports? Testimonials? Anything which applies.

Really good article with lots of nice images, on the present-day making of "SWISS" Powder in particular, and, Articles also on Black Powder generally - http://www.laflinandrand.com/page3.htm Also, a good read on the history of the "Laflin &Rand Powder Company", the porigins of Bullseye...

Just spent a couple uh three hours at the Antiquarian Arms Show here in Las Vegas. I wanted to go last couple days, but had a Work deadline, so, today, late, was the best I could do. None the less, "Wow!" as ever, what a splendid Show, just breathtaking, and, endless fine to minty old...

I would like to know more about them! Seems like a cool little Package.

I have an older Smith & Wesson Revolver ( 1919 if memory serve ) which has a bulged Barrel. I acquired an older, Round Sight, 2 Inch Barrel for the K-Frame or 'M&P', which has no Serial No. on it, and, I imagine was a replacement available at the time for Gunsmiths doing re-Barreling...and...

I did some 'googles' on this matter some Months ago, and the several places I called who offer these kinds of conversions left me feeling a whole lotta non-plussed. I would like to find an intelligent Gunsmith who is capable of showing some deference to an intentional project of converting...

When an FFL Dealer is shipping a C & R qualified Pistol to a C & R LIicense holder, must it only be shipped via "Overnight" UPS? No other options for shipping? I thought an FFL could sip a C & R qualified Pistol to a C & R License holder via UPS Ground, or, the Post Office. And, that...

I know that if asked, people say, "Well, Simith and Wesson designed it!" Just like, if asked "Who invented 'NYLON', people will say, "Why, DUPONT invented Nylon!" Well, Dupont did not 'invent' anything, and certainly did not invent Nylon. Wallace Carothers, in a very loose...

Like on the Bull Barrel Model 10s which had the Bull Barrel, Model 13s, Model 58s and so on, it appears to be a pressed in interference fit, and is very tight of course. What is a good way to remove one of these front Sights?

Am not re-loading 9mm yet, so looking at various Factory Rounds. I'd rather have Lead than Jacketed, but, given what's out there, what is the prevailing wisdom on say 147-148 Grain Factory Loadings of Jacketed Bullets, in a late '40s FN High Power? Water off a Duck's Back? Or, would it...

When did it first appear? I recognise it made quite a showing with the large Frame M1917 S & W and Colt Revolvers for the U.S. Military, for those Revolvers to chamber the .45 ACP Cartridge. But, had it never existed before that? I imagine the 'Full Moon' version would have existed...
