when a museum has some machine guns and they are posted as de-activated does the atf still keep track of them? I don't know what was done to de-activate them other than removing a firing pin or some part of the fire control has been removed. none of these guns have been welded on that I can see...

I was watching the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" on the History channel. it was said that the Capone's guys made one run on the "hitee" using blanks in the Thompsons. then after the "hitee" had relaxed little bit they made another run using real ammo and really made a mess of things. I have...

there was a Marble Game Getter (22/44-40)at the gun show today for $3,000. I don't know how much one brings these days but it looked to be in pretty good condition and had the wire shoulder stock. you don't see many of them around anymore or at least talked about by someone who might have one...

I'm watching the "St. Valentine Day's Massacre" on tv and was just wondering what did a Thompson cost back then when you could buy one in the hardware store (obviously before 1934)? what would a transferable Thompson cost in this day and age? any ideas on how many transferable one are out there...

has anybody heard of or seen a plastic gun with "Mar-Don" on the side of it? it looks like a High Standard 22 auto except made of black plastic. it uses the same primer powered plastic ammo similar to the Speer type practice ammo. it is chambered for 38 special sized ammo except that there are...

in the article by Leroy Thompson on the SIG-551 on page 43 the article seems to say that Leroy had somebody buy the SIG-551 for him and ship it to Leroy's dealer's FFL. Isn't this a straw purchase that everybody talks about or did I miss something?

when a museum has a machine gun on display such as stuff from WWI or WWII and is marked as being deactivated does the atf still keep track of them? the museum in Hastings has several machine guns from the wars as had them for well over 50 years. it is hard to tell if some of the parts have been...

I have shot a couple of thousand rounds of this without any problems and think it is pretty good stuff. a while back I started have a lot of misfires and really weak sounds with it. it wouldn't even cycle the bolt on my Ruger 22 auto pistols and I wouldn't think of even firing them in any 22...

in the December 2004 [issue of S.W.A.T. magazine - ed.], Louis Awerbuck's article was titled "I am The Bullet". you should find a place on your forum that shows this article. I rarely keep any gun magazine around after reading it several times however I tore this page out and keep it as a safety...

Does any body have a copy of a 1988 or 1989 Gun Digest? Would you please look and see what is listed for a Ruger #1S for a retail price? thanks

I bought a HK 45 compact a while back and this polygonal rifling has me curious. I read that you are not supposed to use lead bullets with this type of rifling but I was wondering why not? the manual for the pistol has the typical warnings about handloads and such but doesn't specifically...

looking for opinions on a Kimber 1911 22 long rifle as far as reliability and accuracy. I know 22's can be kind of picky as far as ammo is concerned. I only use Winchester Power Points and Federal 22 automatch. I want a dedicated pistol and not a conversion unit (too lazy to change it back and...

I got a S & W M-48 in 22 mag today. it is a 4 screw made in 1959 in about 80% condition. it would be nice to get it to the same level of finish as my K-22 & K-38 with are 100%. has anybody sent a revolver back to S & W lately to be refinished? if so what were the results?

Luis Awerbuck's article in the latest issue of SWAT magazine should be required reading before anybody should be allowed to buy a gun. period and end of story
