    Swedish 1887 nagant service revolver value?

    I own a Husquvarna built Swede Nagant, mine was in 95%+ condition without the original holster. I never could find the correct ammo but I did blast some .32 thru it (bulging the snot outta the brass). It was a very nice revolver and built scores better than any Russian Nagant that I've ever...

    Heat treating process to make handguns capable of using heavy loads.

    You are a real jem....i was looking over some of you posting history and you seem to have a habit of talking down to most everyone. You must be one of those fellas that figures, "if I talk real loud and immediately berate someone who disagrees with me, everyone will assume i actually know what...

    Are there any 38 super fan out around ?

    The most interesting man in the world once said "I don't always shoot pistols, but when I do, its a 1911 chambered in .38 Super." If I could only own one caliber it would be the super. When I first got into the shooting games I picked up a Colt 1911 in Super, cause I wanted to shoot a single...

    Heat treating process to make handguns capable of using heavy loads.

    45 Auto, often people who are proven wrong turn to yelling instead of admitting guilt or quietly excusing themselves from the conversation. The reason that myself and many others are members here is because the threads are kept as civil as possible. Please, think about what RC has pointed out...

    Not clean...

    Stainless steel bore brush or wrap some steel wool over your bronze brush for the same effect. Don't worry, unless you do something silly, like chuck the brush onto your electric drill, you ain't gonna hurt nothin'

    Heat treating process to make handguns capable of using heavy loads.

    Eh, I dont think its really that simple on a modern firearm. Heat treating can make existing materials stronger but it'll make them harder as well. Firearms like any tool has to be balanced. Strong enough to hold up to the pressures but the materials generally still need to be soft enough to...

    Commercial Mauser ID

    A good friend of mine recently inherited a number of firearms from a relative and one in particular has me a bit curious. At first I thought it was simply one of millions of sporterized Mausers out in the world. But in one of the pictures he sent me I noticed that it has a receiver mounted...

    Pawn shop pickup: S&W Model 10-5. A classy old veteran.

    Guillermo, I've seen all the Colts you've been buying up lately. Can you at least try and save some S&W's for the rest of us? :-)

    My New Mustang

    Nice, I think you did good on that deal. Ill give you a little warning, before you try and remove the trigger. Make sure you know where to get a new one. Ive seen many break the trigger by simply trying to remove its retaining pin. I like the mustang but I think they should have used a steel or...

    What calibers are best in the AR-15?

    .22LR --- just plain fun for plinking and a great starter rifle for just about anyone For the handloader - 6X45 --- great for defense, varmints and whitetail deer If you dont handload - .223/ 5.56 --- nearly as good as the 6X45 on varmints and defense. It may not be legal for whitetail in...

    Mosin Nagant - Am I the only one who does NOT like these?

    Lets see... When the MN was designed the average male was about 5'5" and in the regions it was used in the soldiers usually wore heavy winter coats. The rifle was designed with a LOP to fit smaller soldiers with heavy coats on, not 5'10" men wearing t-shirts. A slip on recoil pad works nicely...

    Check Out My New .38 Special!

    Neat! It looks similar to my old Stinger .22 pen gun. I do have a question. It doesn't appear to fold into the shape of a gun, that would make yours an AOW, correct?

    What do you want to see brought back?

    Colt DA revolvers Any lever action in .41mag Model 58, yes I know they make the classic series but a true classic won't have the Hillary hole. I dont mind the lock, it just dont look right on a true classic A 15-25 round capacity .45acp carbine in the 6-7 lb range for under $800 Nation wide...

    Full wadcutters out of an automatic

    You can make them work....sometimes:-) As others have said an autoloader has to be set up properly to fire FWC's. Heck, most pistols won't cycle SWC's without some gunsmith magic. Personally, I've had some success in getting some 250grain full wadcutters to cycle thru one of my 1911's. That...
