    An old ruger standard was gifted to me. I'm trying to figure out if the barrel could be swapped for one of the longer thicker barrels? Edit: Turns out it's a standard not a MK 1

    Remington 1911 Mainspring housing.

    Anyone know of a mainspring housing that will drop in on a Remington R1 1911? Just looking to replace the plastic factory one. Yes I know as a rule everything needs fitting on a 1911 but was hoping I could find one that someone knows can just be swapped out.

    NY friendly sources for lowers

    I don't need one now at the moment, not that they're easy to find. I used to always use PSA stripped lowers, I think I have 5 or 6 of them total. But as of august 2020 they changed their policy and won't ship stripped lowers to NY anymore. Anyone know of an alternative source?

    From what I understand the Lyman Alaskan was designated the m73 scope but when they couldn't get any they went with the Weaver 330 as the m73b correct? Later the Lyman became the m82. Were any Lyman scopes used on the 1903a4 sniper rifles during ww2? If so does anyone have information on when...

    Reproduction zf39 Scopes?

    Are there any quality reproductions of the zf39 or other German style optics available for mausers? I found the Red Star Mountain ones but from what I could gather they're not so great in the quality department. Is there anything usable on the market or should I just buy a weaver k4?

I would like to put a heavy barrel on it in 308 and wasn't sure what shank size was needed Also my plan was to order a laminate stock from Boyd's but you can only order the heavy barrel channel for the axis 2. Is the inlet different...
