    S&W 625-3 price check

    I'm thinking of selling some guns to fund a different purchase and need to know what this is worth. It's a S&W 625-3 "Model of 1989" with a 4" barrel in .45ACP. From what I understand, a 4" pre-lock is pretty rare, I looked for awhile before I found this one for sale a couple years ago, so...

    Sporting purposes criteria

    18 USC 925(d) prohibits importing non-sporting firearms. However, I don't know exactly what process or criteria the BATFE uses to determine whether a gun is sporting or not. Does anyone know where they're published? I've already searched 27 CFR Part 178 and I couldn't find anything there...

    Can a C&R FFL sell a firearm at a gun show?

    I got a C&R FFL awhile back mainly for the Brownells/Midway USA discounts, as my interests pretty much lie at the modern end of the firearms spectrum. But I got a Yugo SKS awhile back just because I could get one shipped to my door with the C&R. But now I'm running out of room in my safe, so I...

    Does anyone make an extended 870 action bar lock?

    I can manipulate the action bar lock on my 870 with my trigger finger without adjusting my hand position, if I grip the gun with my left hand. However, I actually shoot right-handed, but I'd still like to be able to work the action bar lock with my right hand. Does anyone make an extended 870...

    S&W 625 questions

    I want an IDPA ESR-legal revolver, and I really want it in .45ACP. From the research that I've done, it seems as if the S&W 625JM would be the perfect gun, except for the fact that it has the S&W integral trigger lock. I hate integral trigger locks. Apparently it's not too hard to remove the...

    What to look for when buying a used revolver?

    I'm looking to buy my first revolver, and have decided on getting an S&W 625. I want a pre-agreement model for the usual reasons. I doubt I'm going to find a NIB gun that's been sitting on some dealer's shelf for 6 years, so it's going to be used. What do I need to look for when inspecting...

    Sort of a strange question....

    But do deaf shooters wear hearing protection?

    USMC purchases 10,000 Glock 37 Pistols (?!)

    At least, that's what this article at Defense Review claims. Anyone else read or heard anything similar? I don't think the claimed "advantage" of enemy guns not being able to use .45 GAP would outweigh the necessity of stocking another caliber in the supply line. Plus, it's not like many...

    What's your level of gunsmithing ability?

    I can detail strip all my guns, and do minor gunsmithing work like installing new triggers, etc. I don't really have the tools, let alone the knowledge to do more. If anyone answers the last two questions, I really want to know about it. :)

    Polymer-frame revolvers?

    Does such a thing exist? If not, why? (Other than the fact that most revolver shooters would probably consider it a crime against nature.)

    Christmas Eve range report

    It doesn't get much better than this. My dad, brother, and I spent the better part of the afternoon today shooting on a family friend's farm. Between the three of us, we had two full-auto Vector Uzis, a DSA FAL, a Bushmaster carbine, and a couple of Glocks. Oh, and a case of Tannerite. If...

    Carjacking/execution turns out to be a Halloweek prank

    http://www.newsnet5.com/news/2598657/detail.html Ohio CCW would be bad, because then innocent pranksters would be bleeding/dying in the streets. :rolleyes:

    Briton to play Russian Roulette live on TV

    http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/7020.htm?12 Other than general incredulity at the idiocy of the whole thing (assuming it's real), one has to wonder how he has possession of the gun, given Britain's laws and the fact that he's announced to the world that he has it.

    1913 Picatinny rail

    What exactly is this named for? I'm assuming a Weaver rail is named after someone named Weaver, but who or what is "Picatinny"? And is 1913 the date it was first used on a firearm, or does it signify something else?

    What determines the serialed part?

    Ok, we all know guns manufactured for sale in the US have to have a serial number on the receiver. But what rule determines what the receiver is? I was under the impression that for a semi-auto gun the determining factor was the receiver was the part that held the magazine. For example, the...

    Drew my handgun for the first time today

    I was sitting in the living room of my apartment, and all of a sudden heard a woman screaming bloody murder. Poked open the blinds and not 10 feet away from me on the sidewalk outside was my next-door neighbor and a 'disadvantaged minority youth' tussling on the ground. I didn't know if he was...

    PM9 range report

    Following the "buy multiples of your carry gun" rule, I bought a second PM9 last week. Went and shot it for the first time today. I shot 300 rounds of Blazer FMJ and 50 rounds of Federal 9BP JHP, without one failure of any kind. My other PM9 had a few FTEs the first hundred rounds or so, but...

    Oregon carry questions

    I'm going to be taking a road trip to Oregon from Texas this summer. With my Texas and Florida licenses, I can legally carry concealed all the way to Idaho. However once I hit Oregon, I can't. I can't get an Oregon license because I don't live in a contiguous state. So open carry is the only...

    US Military rifle designations

    Ok, silly question... We had the M1, M1 carbine, M2 carbine and M3 greasegun during WWII. Then the designations jumped up to M14 and M16 by the 60s. Now we're back to M4. What's up with the numbering system? Were there some other rifles between the M3 and M14 that were prototypes that never...
