Just picked up a surplus Romanian Tokarev (1953). Have never reloaded for this caliber, and additionally I plan to use the new .30 Mauser (7.63x25) brass that I have which, if I'm correct, is interchangeable with 7.62x25. Please correct me if I'm wrong abut that. Anyway, my question is...

Anyone got one of these new PPK/S 22's yet? Would love to read a quick review if you do. My lgs just got two in, both blue; but, of course, I want the silver one (SS & nickel). So while I'm waiting, I'd like to know if the little puppy works reliably and whether it's accurate. :) WB

After about 20 years of wanting one I finally picked one up at a gunshow in really nice condition. No, it's not an original; rather, it's a Stoeger stainless "replica" 9mm Luger produced in the mid '90s. I really just wanted a shooter, not a collector's piece. So far I've only put 20 rounds thru...

I recently acquired a Navy Arms 1873 rifle in 44-40 and really like it; but the acton needs slicking up, and the trigger pull needs to be made crisp. Also have a 3rd gen Colt SAA on which I'd like to have new grips fitted. Can anyone give me names and contact info (phone, website) for really...

Was finally able to find a 44-40 lever gun at a recent gun show after searching for about 3 months. It is a Navy Arms M 73 with a 24" oct. barrel. Got to the range yesterday and put 30 rounds of my reloads thru it. It shot real nice but had a few problems with feeding. Sometimes the rounds...

I have a 1944 Underwood carbine with a flat bolt and would like to know if a round bolt can be used as a replacement (I have just acquired a couple of spares). Thanks, WB

Has anyone gotten the 22LR Carbine copy yet? If so, what are your impressions: reliability, accuracy, fit & finish? How many mags come with it? Thanks for any info. :) WB

Just got the new Ruger LCR-22 from my LGS yesterday for a very good price- $400 otd. Thought I'd give my initial impressions of the little "fellow". What's not to love about a 15 oz. (loaded) 8 shot, double action .22 LR snubby with a good trigger? Fired 118 rounds of about 8 different types...

Just picked up a pretty nice late issue Mauser HSC Super. As I understand it the "Super" indicates that it has an American style mag release and a 12 round mag capacity. Stopped by the range and fired about 25 rounds thru it- good accuracy and little recoil. In short I like it! Anyone have...

I have a 70 series govt. Colt Super .38 with the bell shaped end of the barrel, and wanted to replace the collet bushing with a regular Colt one. The new bushing fits the belled end of the barrel fine; but, of course, it is very loose on the non-belled portion of the barrel. Will this cause any...

Anyone do business with Florida Gun Works? They sell firearms, parts, and accessories. Just curious what are the positive and negative experiences? Thanks for any input. :) WB

I hope Tuner is lurking for this one. After having numerous 1911s over the years, I've never had this problem. On my newest govt. length 1911 I can't get the slide stop out to field strip the pistol. I'm guessing it is being impinged by a stiff plunger pin. But in any case is there an easy fix...

Got a new DW PM7 (1911) in 10mm- need help with fixing some FTF & FTE issues with it. The first 50 rounds went perfectly. Since then I've had 5 FTF's & 3 FTE's in 150 rounds. Rounds fired include Fed. Hydra Shok; Win. 180 TC; and my 165 TC, 5.1 grns. 700x handloads (1.25 oal). I'm not too...

Tuner, my question is about trigger reset time. Just got a new DW CBOB .45 ACP(Cmder. length 1911); and it's doing fine thru first 125 rounds. It has fed and fired everthing I've fed it thru a variety of mags. However, one of the things I do during break in of 1911's is after the first 100...

Anyone have experience with replacement 9mm SS extractors by Wilson, EGW, etc.?

Just got a new Kimber .17 Mach 2 conversion unit (steel slide) and put 100 rounds of CCI thru it. Well, first was an interesting experience- getting it to go on a 1911 frame. When I tried it on a Sistema .45 frame it wouldn't go completely on, but seemed to hang up on the ejector maybe? Anyway I...

Well, it finally happened. Looks like I got a new 1911 that doesn't need anything. It's a Springer 9mm SS Loaded Target. Feeding, extraction, ejection are all fine. Trigger pull is 4 3/4 lbs., but feels like 4 cause it's so crisp. It has a ramped barrel, which I've never had on a 1911 before...

Couldn't be more pleased with new SA pistol. Although I've had plenty of experience with 1911's in .45 & .38 S, I've never had or even shot one in 9mm. This new Springer really impressed me right away when it came in at my local shop. The shop manager had the one I'd ordered plus another ordered...

Got good & bad news to report about dropping in an old Colt NM barrel into my SA GI: the good is the accuracy, which was only average with the SA barrel, went to "oh my gosh" status; the bad news is that it now has a lot of FTF's whereas it had none with the stock barrel. The pistol already has...

I've got a chance to buy an S&W 1006 at a real good price- any thoughts or opinions from those who have/had one?
