I just received a message "Congressman Paul Broun, has prepared an urgent videomessage regarding the United Nations Small Arms Treaty". This is sponsored by the National Association for Gun Rights. Is this a lagitimate origanization? I've never really heard of them. I don't want to sign up for...

I'm helping a friend put values on a couple of rifles he is wanting to sell. The first is a Remington Model 582 (22, tube mag, bolt) Really in good shape. Age: built between 1967 and 1982 (no serial number) I'm guessing no more than $150.00 and probably a bit less since they are very common...

I'm helping a friend put values on a shotgun he is wanting to sell. It's a Win model 1200, 20 Ga., 27" barrel, in very good condition. Couldn't find an age by serial number. My searching shows it going for around the $235.00 range. Look right to you guys? thanks, dean

I'm stumped. I need to change the front sight on my 39A. It has been modified with a Lyman sight in the front and stock ramp sight in the rear. Not a good match as far as I can tell. There is a threaded hole just next to the guide spring attachment threaded hole which I assume was for a rear...

I’m handgun illiterate. What does USP stand for? Thanks, dean

Showing my lack of nomenclature knowledge. :confused: I have a question about a feature of the butt stock of the 1950 Marlin 39A I'm trying to put back into original condition. The butt stock is in fantastic shape except for a difference in the plastic piece that screws onto the bottom of the...

I just received a PM from Polishrifleman, here it is. "Originally Posted by Polishrifleman Dean, I don't get onto the WA 2A website much since the shoot ended so sorry about the delay. Kaitlyn Marie was born on the 4th of July. Everyone is home and doing great. Keep me posted on the bear hunt...

WA Bear (regular season) opens in a month. I need to get a new mind set. Usually I just hit the hills and hope for the best. Over the years, I've seen a bunch but all with cubs. I am looking for tips on finding the ol' man. I don't really want to shoot BoBo or mom. Any suggestions? thanks, dean

I just checked and found out the WA regs are out. Not the pamphlet just the regs. I was all excited to get the my time off scheduled at work until I noticed that they cut the area I hunt from two weeks to only 8 days. Two weeks is short enough but 8 days:confused: I should post this in the...

I've tried searching and googling until my fingers are sore. The subject pistol has a worn or broken extractor and I'm trying to find the part. Can anyone help me with a parts source? For a previous part on a 9mm, I got it from Sarco but their site doesn't have anything on the Firestar. Any...

My boys called him “Uncle Ed” since he and I were like brothers. He got me started “plinkin” with 22’s in the early 70’s thus planting the seed. That fall, he invited me to go hunting with him and his 4 sons. I certainly accepted and for the next couple years I hunted pretty much in his back...

My son has a 9mm and 40cal. Both Stars. At just about the same time, both started to jam. The grabber on both just doesn't hold enough to extract the shell. I believe it is due to too much oil when cleaning. I want to remove the grabber so that we can thoroughly clean under the spring. My first...

How can I calculate the optimum barrel length for various commercial handgun and rifle rounds? The reason I ask is that I've read a lot about performance of various rounds in a persons gun but never get all the details about the gun. Each gun has it's own personality so if I could make the above...

Just looked at a Ruger SP101 .357 3" Stainless. Very, Very little use and checked out like NIB. Box, books and everything included. The only thing that has me guessing is the gold hammer, trigger and cylinder release. $350.00. I think it's about $25 to $35 too high except for the gold. I'm...

I have one of these and it's been a good little gun. I don't hear much about them in this forum so I'm soliciting feedback. BTW, I just spotted another for around $170.00 (don't know what condition it's in yet) and wanted some opinions. Thanks in advance, dean
