SN of the PTR 91 I'm looking at buying is AW22XXX. Heard there were some serial numbers that should be avoided. Not sure if this one is safe. It's a PTR 91 sc with a 16 inch fluted barrel

I searched going back to 2014 for a 380 carbine reloading post, no dice. Don't say get a 9mm carbine because I will at some point. This is all part of a plan, since my wife took my 380 sig P232 and I'm thinking she might do the same with a 380 long gun. The idea is reload maybe some +P ammo in...

I want to get a rifle from Smith & Wesson. I found their bolt action guns, and now I need one. The problem is, I can't decide between a 243 Winchester, a 6.5 Creedmoor, and a 308 Winchester. I have done some research as to reloading costs, barrel life, accuracy, etc. I still can't decide on...

Alright, so I bought this gun a few weeks back. Winchester model 70 (in .270). As far as I can tell, the gun was made in the early 70s though it seems Winchester Serial number ID is pretty poor. It starts with a G and is in the late 200,000s. It says "classic sporter" on the barrel and has the...

Hi Everyone, disassembled a 7600 to change a broken extractor. Expected to just change out the clip style extractor only to find that this bolt has the rivet type. I thought the 7600's were all the new style. Was just wondering if some of the early models still had the rivet type or maybe the...
