What kind of paint do you recommend for the S-E-F markings on my PTR-91's trigger group? I was thinking simple model paint but I didn't know if anyone had a better suggestion. And I swear I just saw a thread about this a few weeks back but I couldn't find it in the search.

Original Remington 1858 New Army, S/N #16207. Anyone know the year of production?

THR Archers, My Dad started me shooting at age 4 with a Bear Panda, back then we used to go to 3-D shoots in West Virginia throughout the summer...then I discovered airguns. Fast forward all these years later and finally I got bit by the bug again and recently purchased a Bear Instinct with...

Does anyone know where I can find a reliable source of the Polish 7.62 synthetic mags?

Does anyone know if the Colt SP1 upper is compatible with a Stag Arms lower? The reason why I ask is because IIRC the A1/A2 pin sizes are different. Any help is appreciated.

Today was a long day at the office because I knew there was going to be a new blade waiting for me at home. When I arrived at home, I tore into the box that contained my brand new Spyderco Perrin Street Beat. This blade's niche for me is an all-purpose EDC fixed blade. I usually carry another...

In recent thinking and training, I've come to realize something regarding inexperienced "knifers": that they tend to back you up against something to bulldog you with stab after stab. Once they get you backed into a wall, corner, or other obstacle, you can pretty much kiss your butt goodbye. The...

I recently purchased a 19-4 that an old timer had tuned up. The trigger face is polished and jeweled and the hammer is jeweled also. He also had the gunsmith lighten both the DA and SA pulls considerably. Both of them are extremely smooth except there is one issue: sometimes the trigger doesn't...

This weekend I was shooting my rocklock T/C Hawken and I noticed inconsistencies in the ignition time even though I was priming the pan the same way each time. So I started experimenting with how to fill the pan and I never quite resolved which method results in the shortest ignition time. Each...

Am I the only one out there that hates detachable box mags on bolt actions? I want a CZ American in .308 very badly but I will never buy one as long as it has a DBM. Who's with me?

BEARS!? Holy cow, reading THR has me convinced that a bear is going to enter my home at any second! Will my 1911 or Benelli with #4 buck work!? Should I buy three new guns to use for bear just in case!? I'm thinking a .475 Linebaugh and a .600 NE might give me the peace of mind to not worry...

Yesterday I spent some time detail stripping my Makarov and doing my first ever trigger job. Basic disassembly is cake and I was amazed at how easy it was to detail strip. The only other handgun I've detail stripped is the 1911. The Makarov is even easier than the 1911 to take all the way down...

Being that Smith and Wesson keeps discontinuing every decent gun they've ever devised, I'm on a quest. What I want is a 5-shot .44 Special just like the 696. The problem is that I want it to have a dark finish because I hate their new and improved "3rd World Stainless". So what dark finishes can...

Does anyone know what an all-original 1858 Remington would go for in about 60% condition? I have no idea how the %-age scale works so I'm really just guessing. I'll post pics some time tomorrow. Also, does anyone know where I could possibly sell such a relatively specialty item? Thanks!

For those of you who have owned all three of these and carried them, which one did you find to be the most comfortable and why? I've carried the 1911 extensively and understand how it fits to my body. I've carried the G19 but not in a great holster. As for the G36, I've never carried one at all...

My friend is selling me his Nazi Hi-Power. I just wanted to give him a fair deal so what price range would these go for from 80-95% condition? Thanks in advance!

I need to get the timing on my SAA fixed. I have a Uberti SAA that was imported by Taylors. There was a minor problem discussed in this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83405 So I sent it back to Taylors and now the timing is completely off. I don't want to...

I noticed that while shooting my Bushmaster that the gas key has become loose on the bolt body. I know this is supposed to be staked on but mine has been working loose. My short term solution was to just buy a whole new bolt body and then I plan on fixing the original to use as a spare. Has...

My newly purchase Walther P22 won't fire in DA. It feeds and functions flawlessly while in single action mode. I can pull the trigger all day long on a chambered round in DA mode and I don't even get light strikes (not that it takes much to ignite a .22 round anyway). Any diagnosis?

Recently, I've been noticing my inclination towards lever guns and single action revolvers. I pulled my first trigger on a Winchester 9422 when I was about four or five years old. My father bought me my first gun, a Ruger Single Six convertible for my twelfth birthday. As of late, I've been...
