Hey guys! So over the weekend I picked up a pretty nice(to me) 1884 springfield trapdoor. It's got a date stamp of 1898 stamped onto the stock but as I've done some research some things don't add up. For one it has the 73 style cleaning rod and bayonet instead of the spike bayonet. It's also got...
Picked up a Rolling Block at a Militaria show this past weekend in Mandeville, LA. It was sold to me as a 50-70 Springfield trial gun, which may be what it is, but a standard 50-70 cartridge does not chamber.
What it is not:
a NY National Guard rifle - the sling swivel is not on the trigger...
I picked up a new SA-35 recently.
I am a former Hi Power owner, had three of them of the past 25 years.
Nothing fits my hand better or points more naturally for me.
I ordered the BHSpring Solutions reliability kit including their extractor. There have been some issues with extraction on...
I'm looking at buying a light MSR in .308. The models I'm looking at are the Roam R-10 Red River Ultralight, the POF Revolution DI and piston models. The Springfield Saint, the Tavor and the Scar 17. I would also consider the POF Rogue and the Barrett REC10 Carbine if I could find any.
I did...
Does anyone have any experience with the warranty on Glocks, Kahrs, or Springfields?
Glocks only come with an official 1 year warranty but I've heard that they repair them for the lifetime of the pistol and even if it's from nornal wear and tear. However, having had no personal experience with...
While I have limited range time and no malfunctions with the Range Officer 9mm, I am concerned that the magazine seems to barely be holding onto the next round after cycling. When I eject the magazine after chambering a round, a round always comes tumbling out after the magazine.
Has anyone...
I recently acquired a Range Officer 1911 compact 9mm, and while the gun is an absolute dream to shoot...it only took 50 rounds before the front fiber optic flew out of the sight. Another 10 or so rounds later, the entire front sight slid completely out the right side of the gun.
Has anyone...
I have a Springfield Range Officer Compact 1911 in 9mm, and want to fill the grips out a little bit. Thin is good for concealment, but I'd like something in the Hogue/Pachmayr family to make the grip a little more hand-friendly.
I am not sure if the 9mm grip-width is different from the 45acp...
New guy here. Followed this forum for several years and finally decided to join up. Looks to be composed of serious shooters and lacking in the gun trolls of many other sites. Hope burns eternal...
In any event, I recently purchased a Springfield 911 380 for pocket carry. Liked the pistol from...
I'm looking for a reliable and accurate gun for concealed carry. I shot the Springfield XDS.45 a couple of weeks ago and really liked it but I've also read tons of positive reviews of the Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm and the Walther PPS. Just wondering what your thoughts were between these three...
For those of you that don't know, citizens in the state of Maryland must take a 4 hour "HQL" course in order to be eligible to purchase a handgun. I've known this for a while now, but procrastination got the better of me...
After months of searching, I finally found a LGS who had access to a...
