    old Smith & Wesson 32-20 revolver

    My brother-in-law got this revolver from his father. The barrel is marked 32-20 ctg. i can not see any S&W logos on it. I have also never seen the the style of cylinder lock that is on the crane. It has all the looks of an early Smith & Wesson. It does have "Made in USA" stamped on the right...

    Pietta 1861 Navy Sheriff?

    I bought this gun from a guy that had no clue what it is. I think it is an 1861 Navy Sheriff by Pietta. It is .36 caliber. Am I correct?

    7.62x39 AR pistol

    Finally got around to shooting my AR-15 pistol yesterday. My gosh what a hand cannon! I did manage one dead on bullseye shot. That one was from a rest at about 35 yards. The rest of the rounds made about a 3" group. Not bad for firing small artillery that close to you face. Dang this thing is loud!

    Loctite 380 Black Max for a revolver front sight?

    I have been reading about using the Loctite 380 for gun sights. Is this a viable option over drilling and tapping holes?

    "Crosshair" Shooting Bench

    Is anyone familiar with one of these shooting tables? I like the looks. Wondering how sturdy they are. I am a big guy (over 6 feet at a little over 300 lbs,). I have an on property shooting range so it won't get moved much once I get the overhead cover built.

    Changed grips

    My RIA 206 came with the wood grips on it but included another set of grips with it. I put the other grips on and what a difference. I liked the change so much, I ordered a Hogue Monogrip for my Redhawk. I love wood grips, but I should have done this a long time ago. They both fit my hand so...

    Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black

    I did a couple of AR-15 80% lowers in the raw recently. Followed the directions by scrubbing with a sotchbrite and detergent. Followed with a good rinse, then a good wash with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Let dry and applied the blackening with a foam brush. I am not very pleased with the final...

    7.62x39 AR-15 pistol

    I have been thinking about my Christmas present that I get myself every year. "What about an AR-15 pistol in 7.62x39?" I ask myself. "Well, why not?" I answered. Who makes a reasonably priced complete upper? I can only spend about $450 on myself this year. I already have an 80% lower that...

    Simmons ProTarget 6-24x44 Riflescope

    Thoughts on this scope? I have a few Simmons scopes. Only one has ever given me any problems. The crosshairs wouldn't stay put. I just put this scope on my AR. Haven't had a chance to sight it in yet.

    Attitude about guns in Australia

    I belong to an MG car forum and the subject of owning and carrying guns came up. I am really surprised at the number of negative comments coming from people in Australia. I just would have thought that they would be a little more pro personal freedom thinking. I used to think when I was younger...

    MGC 44-40 Long blank

    Friend of mine gave this all metal Colt SAA replica today. MGC-Made in Japan. I read some say they were movie prop guns from the 1950's. Say a couple on the internet that sold for around $150. Seems hard to believe it's worth much but you never know.

    4140 steel 80% 1911

    Has anyone used a 3/32" end mill to cut the rails on a 4140 steel frame? I have done some milling over the years on my 3 in 1 mill/drill/lathe but never with this small of an endmill. HSS with flood cooling? Carbide dry? Or is a key way cutter the best way to go? My equipment is all manual.

    New Taurus PT111 G2

    First day I had several failures to fire. The slide would close, but not enough to push up the loaded chamber indicator and the gun would not fire. Rack the slide and fire the next round. Put the previous failed round back in and no fire. Is the chamber cut a little short or the case a little...

    Thank you, Ruger

    I just received my new Ruger 10/22. The magazine latch wouldn't work and the bolt catch didn't work. I pulled the action out of the stock and discovered that the pin that holds the latch in was missing. E-mailed Ruger about the problem Friday evening and got a response yesterday that a new pin...
