So, I've been wanting a Swiss M1882 double-action revolver for some time now, even though the ammo is archaic and hard to find. I found an early one (hard rubber grips) that was in excellent condition, so I bought it. This revolver is an amazing piece of Swiss engineering. The machining...

The .440 corbon was made for the Desert Eagle (and maybe a handful of other guns), and for only a very short time. Basically, 440C (necked-down 50AE) could push a 240gr. JHP at 1900+ ft/sec. Now that's HOT! Why won't anyone make a pistol that can handle 440C?

Does a P7M13 finished/treated with the silvery Robar finish hurt its collectible value? If so, what would be a fair % deduction from one that is untouched - condition being the same?

I attended a gun show this weekend and, for the first time, notice that ATF actually had a table with literature there. Perhaps, because they don't have any guns, I simply haven't noticed them. I've grown accustomed to glazing over the beef-jerky guy, knife folks, toy peddlers, and what-not...

I don't usually post videos, but I came across this video of a collection of Korth semi-auto pistols. Its a great video that highlights the workmanship of Korth firearms. Truly stunning! I'd collect Korth pistols if I had more money than I could possibly spend...

I regularly carry my Ruger LC9 in a fairly humid climate. I do not keep any oil on the slide (however I might have coated it with Johnson's wax once). I have experienced no rust or even any hint of rust on the slide or other steel parts. I really just have two questions out of curiosity: 1)...

The Spitfire (Eagle Arms was similar) 45 is likely one of the cheapest full-auto open-bolt carbines you can purchase. They sell for around $4,000. Now, I've seen these things. The upper receiver is steel and fairly well constructed. The lower receiver is aluminum and most look like heck -...

I've read (a while back) that two people have been trying to buy up all of the Holloway Arms HAC-7. It is rumored that only 2 people have about 1/2 of all of the 300 or so HAC-7's ever made. Can anyone verify this? Does anyone have any idea why these folks are (apparently) buying up HAC-7's?

Why hasn't anyone developed a 22 long rifle (or magnum) rimless cartridge - one that still doesn't use a primer insert? Seems like it would be possible. The advantage would be higher capacity magazines and more reliable feeding in semi-autos.

So, I've seen a couple of .308 drums out there for Fals, HK/PTR-91's and AR-10 type rifles. The XS drum claims to hold 50 rounds and function well even in full-auto. I also see that betamag has a 100 round .308 drum. The XS drum is aluminum and seems to be pretty well constructed. I'm not...

An interesting thing has happened to me over the years. When I was younger (teens - early 30's), I really didn't care much for blued guns. Just about any gun I'd buy would have to be stainless, or at least hard-chrome or nickel plated. Not only were blued guns more prone to rusting, I just...

I tried to read the rules on infractions and warnings (since I received one), but wasn't able to find anything on this. I'm not questioning or arguing about whether I violated the rules (looking back, I'm sure I did), just wondering if there should be an explanation as to how infractions work...

I'm looking for everyone's thoughts on high-precision top-quality pistols (spare no cost), nothing smaller than 9mm. When I think really top-quality pistols, here are some that come to my mind: Sphinx Sig X-Five Custom 1911's P-210 Korth older Hi-Powers Basically, I'm wondering what makers I...

So, I bought my 9-year old daughter a Crickett Rifle last week - little 22 single-shot, blued steel with a pink laminated wood stock. Here are my thoughts for anyone considering this rifle. The rifle is sized and balanced perfectly for a child. It is easy to operate - no problem working the...

It seems to me that stores either carry Kel-Tec or Diamondback (DB9), but not both. Do any of you dealers out there know if Kel-Tec (the somewhat older more established company) prohibits dealers they associate with from carrying Diamondback guns? Does anyone know the real deal on this?

out of Ellenton Florida? I stumbled across them saw a resto-mod gun (Webely Mk VI) that I found interesting. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=291100932 I can't see spending that kind of money on this particular gun, but the work looked pretty darned good. I know that there...

I recall my uncle having some exploding .357 bullets many years ago. As I recall, they were basically hollow point bullets with a primer sealed in the bullet itself. I don't know if there was actually any powder under the primer. Has anyone ever fired one of these? Results? Just a gimmick...

I know that at least one company had made some stainless AR lower receivers. I found one on Gunbroker listed at a ridiculous price. So, I was just wondering why no one has set out to make upper and lower receivers out of SS for the AR. This would renew my interest in this platform.

I see them listed on Gunbroker starting at about $700, but no one bidding at those prices. What are these things actually selling for in good condition?

I have an older S&W 659. It has the funky rear sight with the stainless "dog-ears" for lack of a better word. It doesn't bother me on my 659 - it is what it is. However, I'm looking at Smith 10mm's with the same "dog-eared" rear sight. I never really don't want this on a 10mm - can it...
