This has absolutely nothing to do with the various adaptors available for surplus and commercial flare guns that have been discussed here and elsewhere before. This is about how I had to buy something on gunbroker, for the simple reason that it was slightly different from something we’ve all...

I managed to wrestle this off gunbroker for a price almost decent all things considered. I already have a .32S&W Young America, and I was expecting this to be the same gun with a slightly higher amount of smaller diameter holes in the cylinder. (.32S&W on top, .22 Long below) Not so...

I wanted to share some pictures of the markings on my MK. VI in the hopes that somebody can help me figure out about when it was made. Most examples I've seen online are stamped with a date somewhere, but on this gun I see none. The 4 digit number is the guns serial number, and I feel...

Post up your military or police issued service revolvers! I'll start with my recently acquired Webley Mk.VI I would like to extend special thanks to member Von der Goltz for help acquiring the vintage. 455 ammo shown. He was even nice enough to send some empty casings from the same ammunition...

So I went ahead and ordered a complete lower this weekend from PSA, and now I'm beginning the hunt for the other half. I am pretty much going one of two directions with this rifle: A. 5.56 mid length, flat top or irons doesnt so much matter but its getting a 3-4x optic of some kind eventually...

I got this interesting little gun for $100 from a nice older gentleman in a face to face sale. I've done some research, but still haven't been able to learn much about it. Measuring the chamber diameter gave me the caliber, which is .320 Center Fire. Its an old european round from the late...

I finally found a good deal on one of my "grail" handguns, the S&W Perfected model. This is a sort of a hybrid of the hand ejector and top-break actions, having both the top T shaped latch, and the modern thumb latch on the left hand side. Both must be actuated to open the gun. The caliber is...

Do you ever carry a firearm for personal protection which others would or might consider to be obsolete or antiquated? What do you think are some of the limitations of carrying such firearms? What might be some advantages of doing so? I have been doing some work on this H&R Young America in .32...

Until the republican party gets on board with equal marriage rights, we stand almost no chance of converting any democratic senators, let alone the majority of the country which supports it. We can say its not a related issue all we want, but the fact is that its a personal freedom issue just...

..in trading this nice CZ82 For this most excellent S&W K-frame? :D This is one of my lifetime Had-to-get-one handguns (I wanted a Victory, but this is close enough!),and I finally found one not priced out of my reach! The pictures aren't amazing, but you may be...

I bought this rifle today on a whim, and I would like to get some info on it. The pictures show that it was made in Spain (EIC Eibar Spain), and the caliber as listed on the top of the barrel as 9mm. .350 round balls seem like they would be a good fit with a standard wad, and the barrel is...

I've just rediscovered the CCU and I am seriously thinking on getting one to use with my Colt government .45acp frame. Originally I was planning on getting the upper in 10mm auto in order to bump up the power I would get from this carbine, but upon further review, i think the .460 is the logical...

About a month ago I traded a Keltec PF9 for a Rossi model 461 revolver. This is a blued steel 6 shooter chambered in .357 Mag with a 2" barrel, built on a frame a little smaller than a S&W K (I believe). I have put a number of rounds through the gun, including a few of the remington 125 JSP's...

Materials needed: .380 ACP rounds, rubber o-ring, approx 1/4 OD with thickness being about 1/32 or so. The idea is, you slip the ring over the nose of the bullet, roll down till you have it in the extractor groove. The trick is getting the right size and hardness of o-ring. Too soft of...

...And it paid off! I strolled into a LGS today looking to maybe pickup a Tapco stock for my SKS, or maybe put some cash down on a new revolver for carry. I had the guy show me a few snub .38spl's, an Armscor which felt OK but was overpriced, a used Rossi for no kind of deal, but I was...

Has anyone had any trigger time with the recent crop of ex-police Taurus revolvers? These are the blued 4" K-frame type guns with the lanyard ring on the butt of the grip. A small shop locally just got some in and they are priced $220 on the tag, and I think i might be able to walk with them...

Those who have been carrying for any length of time will always be quick to point out to a beginner that the choice of belt is just as vital to carrying comfortably as the holster, if not more so. The beginner may or may not heed this advice, and if they are anything like me, their progression...

I was just looking at one of the two Colt 7 rounders I carry every day. One of them, given to me recently by a friend as a birthday present, has slightly different looking markings on the base plate. I seem to recall reading an article some time ago (maybe here on THR?) that there were many Colt...

I am not sure if this should go under Accessories, if so, mods please feel free to move it. Anyway, on Monday I was unloading my 1911 and when I placed the magazine (a Colt stainless 8 rounder w/Shooting Star follower) base down on a table, I noticed it was standing crooked, like a miniature...

I did a search and found some info, but I want to get some definitive answers, if such a thing exists. I have an all original Colt 1911 Government stainless in .45ACP. Totally factory set up, aside from the grips, and including the factory recoil spring, and made in 1989. What I want to do...
