Took my J&G Gunsmith Special $249.00 SKS out to my shooting range again today. Ran about 250 rounds through it. I swear that I like it better than my much newer and prettier Norinco SKS. This thing looks rough. Bluing is about gone. Stock was so beat up that I found another one. But, dang it is...

Having some problems with my RIA 1911 A1 CS when using 7 round Metalform magazines. I have two of these mags. Both have problems with last round hold open. The mag that came with the gun occasionally has this problem, but the Metalform mags fail to lock open every time. All the mags lock when...

Just bought a gunsmiths special $249 Chinese type 56 from J&G. Some folks say they got some nice rifles. Some not so happy. I say, roll the dice and take what you get. Hope I got lucky though. Be here next Tuesday. Already have a nice Norinco. I just thought I might need another SKS.

Has anyone tried the Prvi Partizan - PP733 roundnose softpoint ammo in their SKS? Curious how it feeds and wonder how it does on hogs. I am planning on a trip to Texas to visit my brother and was looking for something new to try. These look like they should do the job. Just looking for someone...

I recently purchased a Tactical Industries Target Master .22lr conversion kit for my AR-15. After around a thousand rounds, my magazine broke and wouldn't stay in the mag well properly. I e-mailed Edward Vance and explained my problem. I got an answer from him this morning stating that he was...

Just ordered a Rock Island 1911 Compact .45. Anyone have one and how do you like it? I looked at several ATI, Auto Ordinance, Tarus, etc. The lifetime warranty and price finally sold me. I already have a couple of .45s but always wanted a 1911 style.

I have always wanted a Civil War sword. I found this replica for $49.00 free shipping last week. So I decided what the heck and bought one. Looks pretty decent for the money. Pictures of the real thing and my replica.

I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser that belonged to my father. It was the first gun that I ever fired back in 1963. It fired a lot of corrosive ammo over the years and we didn't know about the proper cleaning. When it came into my hands in the late 1970's I (like a fool) thought it would be a great...

I saw this on e-bay and thought " What the heck. It's worth a try." Well for $13+ bucks, it's darn well worth it. How many times have you wished you could see just a little better down a rifle barrel or...... well... where ever?

Don't know if you have heard of or bought .223 ammunition from PRO-RELOAD or not. I bought a little over 500 rounds from them. Took over a month for them to ship. Went out to do some shooting with a couple of friends. My friend next to me mentioned that the rounds sounded a lot louder than...

Do you think this is going a little to far?

I have been thinking of going over to the black rifle side. I see this Anderson AM15-SKA2 Stripped AR-15 5.56 NATO 16" Barrel for sale all over the place. Cheapest is $429.99. I am not familiar with Anderson Manufacturing. Is this a good rifle? Looks like it is a complete rifle except for...

Finally got my barrel changed and the old Smith back together. The brand new old barrel sure does shoot fine. It's like a whole new gun. If you read my post "Do you see a problem?" you know the story about the split barrel. Now I think I should get the sandpaper back out and polish the hammer...

Got a gunsmith question. I am replacing the barrel on my old Smith & Wesson M&P .38 revolver because of a split on the bottom of the forcing cone. ( I have a thread titled "Do you see a problem?" on the revolver forum about this). I screwed the new barrel in as far as I could and still line up...

I traded a Smith & Wesson model 10 to my brother for this many years ago. It is a great shooter, but it is a little touchy. The chamber must be "clean" for it to function well. Once I figured just how clean, it became one of my favorite "fun" guns. "There were a number of engineering...

I was shooting my old Smith & Wesson Military and Police .38 the other day. After the last cylinder full I fired, I couldn't swing the cylinder out. I started taking it apart that evening. Everything seemed okay, just couldn't get the cylinder free. I finally pushed really hard with one hand...

I got this shotgun from my grandmother in 1983. She said it had been in the family for many years. She thought it was around a 100 years old when she gave it to me. Does anyone know much about these and would it be safe to shoot maybe with brass shells and black powder?

Does anyone know much about a Miroku .58 Zouave rifle? I just bought one unfired for $265. Did I do alright or did I wasted my money? Can't seem to find much on the web about them.

I have been shooting my recently finished Bobcat .50 conversion. Playing with different thickness in patches, I have seen a big difference in accuracy. My question I guess is what really grips the rifling- the patch or the lead? Reason that I ask is that I have found a place that sells shot that...

I picked up a .50 Bobcat several years ago from a friend that needed a little quick cash. Never fired it. It just sat in the gunrack. I guess mainly because I just don't like plastic stocks. Recently found an old friend that enjoys black powder shooting. He has an 1863 Springfield that was made...
