    Help Identify S&W .38 Revolver

    I'm in process of cleaning and cataloging a family members guns. I've researched this one to the point that I know what the manufacture date is (late '53- early '54). There is no model number, as it was made before they did that. What I want to know is what is the actual name of it, and is it an...

    Browning BAR Type 1 Help

    Browning BAR Type 1 in 30.06. The 5 rd hunting rifle, not the military one. Looked on Brownings website trying to date/value this rifle.

    What Possesses People???

    Went to an auction yesterday with 50odd guns, NOS ammo, reloading supplies, lots of reloaded ammo, etc. Prices paid were for the most part above what you can buy new off the shelf. I don't understand why someone would go to an auction and not know what current prices are? There were 2 decent...

    Nerve issues with CCW??

    Anyone ever had or have nerve pain issues in lower back, glutes, and/or legs when carrying concealed? I usually carry IWB at 3 - 4 o'clock. My pain problems seem to be worse when carrying. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this, or maybe there's a doc on here that could weigh in??

    New Model Colt Cobra 38 Owners - Thoughts??

    I have several CCW options, wife is more comfortable with revolvers, though she can shoot most anything/caliber. She rarely carries, yet she needs to. We have a S&W mod 40, but trigger on that thing is atrocious. As is most any DA revolver we've tried. I've read reviews on the new model Cobra...

    Which Payment Gateway to Use For GunBroker?

    I need to set up a "payment gateway" to accept payments on Gun Broker, since PayPal isn't an option. I don't have a lot of stuff to sell, just accessories here and there so I don't need anything fancy. Can you guys point me in the direction of a good "gateway" that's safe, easy to use, and...

    Windham AR-10 Magazine Compatibility

    Got a Windham AR-10 .308. Also got some AR-10 Mags for DPMS LR, thinking that like AR-15 mags they would be interchangeable. The DPMS mags will go in, but they are tight and won't drop when release is pressed, you have to pull em out. Is there something I'm missing here - or am I gonna sell some...

    Is it reasonably easy and/or worth it to build an AK?

    Wondering how hard it is to build a 7.62x39 Semi-Auto AK? Can someone with reasonable mechanical ability and normal tools do it? I have read that there are "kits" that you can buy. Can someone point me to where I can buy one? I would like to have an AK - but not willing to pay what they want...

Friend of mine has a Galco King Tuck for his M&P compact - I kinda like that one/idea - but saw some reviews on that one that made me wonder if that's the one for me.

    What Rifle Do I Have?

    I need help identifying a rifle I have acquired. It is a bolt action that I believe has been "sporterized" - looks like a military action of some sort, but it has a Monte Carlo style stock on it and the barrel appears to have been cut down and lightened. Here are the markings: On top of the...

    .40 Cal Fullsize With Good Trigger Pull?

    Bought a SIG 226 .40 cal a while back - DAO. The gun shoots pretty well - but I cannot stand the trigger pull. It is impossible to rapid fire the gun accurately (at least for me) when you have to pull the trigger 10 feet (it feels like) and with a lot of strength. I am looking for suggestions...

    AR 15 Sighting Options?

    I currently have an AR with the carry handle. I have a cheapie 3x9 scope on it with the single screw-in mount that goes in the handle groove. I am thinking of trading mine in for a Stag 8 that has the Midwest flip-up open sights. I want to be able to use the iron sights - but in reality this is...

    New member here - I haven't read enough yet to figure out where exactly to post questions - I figured this was the most likely area for this. Please move it if I'm wrong. I aquired some guns that have been sitting in a basement for MANY years. Some were in cases, some not. Many have mildew and...
