Has anyone developed a plastic gun barrel yet? It seems to me that certain plastics would work fine for cheap, disposable gun barrels, especially with .22 cartridges - maybe even higher power cartridges. Is there any legal prohibition against developing / using plastic gun barrels? Just...

I'm hoping some of you Spitfire / Eagle gurus out there can help me with a couple of questions: 1. I recently saw where a Spitfire owner modernized this sub-gun. It was a heck of a project, but looked really nice. I can't remember where on the web I saw this - does anyone remember seeing...

I know that Zombie, TEOTWAWKI, SHTF threads are generally not permitted, but didn't the moderators see fit to permit some of these last year.....in October.....in the spirit of Halloween? Just wondering.

I recall that back in the late '70's to early '80's the Dan Wesson revolver with the interchangable barrels was considered to be a really nice revolver. Perhaps it still is, but it seems like you can find them pretty cheap, comparatively speaking. What's the story with those older DW...

Is there any perceived value difference between a later-made Colt Python and one made in the early '60's, condition being the same for both? Regardless of "perceived value", are there any practical differences between older and later Colt Pythons?

Does anyone have one? It's been a long time since I've purchased a revolver, but an 8-shot .357 in a compact revolver format has me intrigued. How thick are these things?

I would really like to have a double-action / single action pocket 9mm or .40 S&W. Everything currently made is DAO. Why no DA/SA micro/pocket 9mm's or whatever they are called?

I'm trying to do some research to find out if a particular Remington 1858 percussion revolver is authentic, partially authentic or a good fake. I am familiar with all of the modern 1858 made revolvers - we aren't talking about one of those. Is there any book or website out there that can...

Here's a question I've been wondering about: Can you use black powder in lieu of smokeless powder when loading for modern firearms? I know that there can be problems using smokeless powder in black powder guns (although I think some can handle reduced charges), but what about the reverse?

Has anyone developed a semi-auto handgun that is double-action / single-action, where trigger feels like a true S/A trigger for successive follow-up shots? Basically, is there any DA/SA gun that has the trigger of a Hi-Power or good 1911 when fired as a single action? No striker-fired guns...

Steve Jobs real accomplishment was taking a company that made novelty computers to a completely different level by introducing revolutionary, new products that people had to have as soon as they saw them. Who is the Steve Jobs of the firearms industry? Instead of more Glock-a-likes and 1911's...

I've tried to use Auction Arms several times to look for guns I'm interested in. Now, I'm no noob to the internet or various auction sites. But, I can't figure out how to do a search on Auction Arms that will get me to what I'm looking for. For example, if I type in "STI" I get a ton of...

Ok, I just read an article dedicated to the pistol bayonet in American Rifleman by Mark Keefe. This was a serious article What's up with this? I was kind of shocked to see the validation of something that is pretty much completely useless in this magazine. What's next - mall ninja wear?

I'm starting this thread to get other people's opinions on folks who get into firearms because of video games. I'm not a gamer, and rarely play any video or computer type games. At first, I thought that gamers getting into real firearms is just a bad idea. But, then I asked myself "why"? If...

It seem to me that Gunbroker is pretty much beating the pants off of GunsAmerica with regard to listings. Lately, I find very little of anything I'm looking for listed on GunsAmerica. Has Gunbroker taken the #1 spot for buying/selling firearms online? Is there anything else comparable?

If you like Gun Bling, you can't beat a 24K gold plated M10 with chrome barrel, magazine and heat shield. No, it's not mine:D http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=224515060

I sort of like the 1882 Schmidt revolvers. If I bought one, I'd want to shoot it. But, I can't find any source for ammo. It fires 7.5mm Swiss Ordnance, as far as I can tell. Is there any good source for ammo, or is this just a hunk of steel from years gone by?

Not that I'm looking for a set right now, but I used to see folks selling genuine pearl grips at various places on the internet. I decided to take a look and could find no new plain pearl grips for 1911's. Where did they go?

This is going to be a very naive set of questions - so, please be gentle:p If I wanted to purchase a fine shotgun with engraving done by Francesca Fracassi, how would I go about doing this? I'm sure there must be some kind of long waiting list - does anyone know anything about this? I'm not...

What's a good price on a good condition, used STI LS40? I see that Brazos sells them new for $892.
