EDITED.... Question answered by Rock Island Please disregard :)

Why? I had 2 mags that would not feed or Chamber the 1st two rounds. One wouldn't feed the 1st 2 rounds (CMC POWER 10 ) and one would not feed the last round (Colt Tapered Lip Design) I did the normal 3 point jam fixes, scraped the chamber mouth and opened the barrel link but discovered...

Kuhnhausen notes that the hammer pin holes should be .1575" +.0020" and for comparison the hammer pin should spec .157" - .002" So the hammer I have in question mikes .161 on one side and between .162" & .1625" on the other... For comparison this one's hammer pin measures .155" I voiced...

I've never owned one, but I've had several Smiths, Taurus', a Python, and a GP-100. I saw one used for I think around $500.... any input? TIA, Jeff

Any input on these? Good or Bad? I thinking about a new revolver and while I like my 686s, this one is interesting....http://www.firearms.smith-wesson.com/store/index.php3?cat=407533&item=1207358&sw_activeTab=1

Got my EGW ignition set: hard sear, commander hammer, disconnector, and sear spring $85 plus shipping. Very good stuff! I dropped the parts into my Springfield Loaded and after a couple dozen dry firing... NO BOOSTING.... I've got a pretty good (5lb or so) trigger. I don't have my scale...

I'm fitting an angle bore bushing to one of my pistols.... The bushing is a left over from another gun and the I.D. was too small. I've openned it up, and it fits the barrel tight.... maybe too tight? When cycling the slide it feels like it hangs up just before the barrel cams up. If I...

Would heating and quenching (with Kasinit) small parts such as sears help, harm, or do nothing? I have one Springer that the sear went soft on....literally, and wonder if I can toughen up my remaining fleet before I need to replace all of them? BTW, I've called a cease fire on the 'flick'...

I've always done this to check for hammer follow, take one thumb and hold down the grip safety and take the other thumb and flick the hammer. Before a range trip today I check one of my guns by flicking it and the hammer follows.... it had a light pull so I was always prepared for this.... So...

Got one of the $66 barrels from midway, and went to drop it in one of my pistols and it wouldn't go :confused: . Swapped it out with the other pistols I have that wear the same barrel and it won't fit in them either... Okay, so I have to fit this barrel.... The hood fits snug but it's not...

Whoa, I think a friend of mine got taken! Bought a "new" Browning Hi-Power and he paid $700 he said... it's 9mm and it came with 10rd mags, we are allowed Hi-caps in Northern Va. It's pretty, it's blued, not enameled. It looks great but way overpriced in my opinion. And for being "brand new"...

I saw this I instantly thought of Tuner and Fuff... :D http://www.berettaforum.net/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=004713#000009

:what: Whoa! I bought another Springfield G.I. Inspected it and put it away in the safe. One thing I noticed was a small notch at the rear of the frame to the right of the hammer.... thought nothing of it.... Cleaned up my Springer Hi-Cap today and noticed the same type of mark on this frame...

In short, is this a tool that a DIY'er could get good results with? I'm pondering changing the sights on a 1911 and a local armorer wants just a tad more in labor than I can buy the tool myself.

Read the April issue of SWAT, had an article on the MEU(SOC) 1911... I read at one time a 22lb. recoil spring was being used in the guns but due to complications they went back down to an 18lber. Wouldn't a spring that heavy beat the slide stop holes in the frame over time? What happens...

I bought a hammer and sear for a Colt Combat Target model, I was expecting .023-.025 hammer hooks that Colt uses but instead this hammer had .016 deep hooks. I would have never bought it if I knew the hooks were that thin.... Is this common in Gold Cup type guns? The last Gold Cup I had was an...

Got a question for the group here, I took my new Springfield G.I. model to the range today, and was dissapointed in its lack of accuracy. The groups looked more like shotgun patterns. Even when sandbagging and trying my hardest at 15yds it shot more than 6" patterns. I used Win white box...

What level of improvement can I expect from bedding a surplus rifle? Can the barrel be floated on a rifle with upper handguards? Is it practical? I have a 91/30 that needs some help. I can tell from tightening the screws down that the action is being put in a bind, would just inletting the...

Hello I have a AK47 Romanian WASR10 that has developed an ejection problem.... First off I have shot probably around 500 rounds and had a total of 2 stovepipe jams. After that I dissassembled the bolt and cleaned the extractor, which was full of gunk, and then, the next time at the range I...

Any tips on getting the trigger pull below 10lbs on a Mosin Nagant rifle? It's said the 91/30 sniper rifles had better trigger pulls than the standard models, and I'm searchin' for input on how to get a better pull before I ruin something.
