    Strange M1 Carbine Ammo

    I have a National Postal Meter M1 Carbine. Got so old WW2 ammo, not sure if it is still safe to shoot in it. Well rummaging through the ammo I found one case, WRA 42 cartridge head stamp, FMJ with two holes in the case on opposite sides 9/16th of an inch from the head of the cartridge. There...

    Ruger LCP Mods

    Well at the local pawnshop there was a Ruger LCP, stainless slide, used (but barely used) for $150. So, at $162, tax Inc., It became mine. Disassembly showed little wear. Shorter trigger pull than my Kel-Tec P3AT. Now I hear the 10 lb recoil spring is a bit weak, so is the 13 lb spring better...

    When your trusted carry gun jams....

    Yep, on the range with a Glock 43 (got it for $320, with tritium night sights by Truglo tg-h3 and grip reduction by Taran, and Taran +1 magazine floor plates on both mags) and decided to empty my Glock 26 carry gun (it was also a consignment gun I got 6 years ago for $400, with Henine night...

    Intratec Cat 9 pistol.. what the heck?

    Today I saw a intratec cat 9 pistol. Is it blow back? Glock striker system? Do they work? Parts? Anyway, $150 for it and I thought maybe for a unique toy it might do. So folks, any comments on this gun? Thanks, Deaf

    Ah...DPMS 3G2 Competition AR-15 for $541

    I thought it was a Recon... but strange as it had a muzzle brake, weird grip, offset Buis, and the charging handle had a flapper thing on one side. Real good condition, not a scratch on it. Even the 30 round mag didn't look used. And I know my ARs as I've had several, shot even more, but been...

    Marlin Texan carbine saddle ring

    Just plunked down some moola on a Texan Marlin 30/30 in excellent condition. 69 stamped on the tang. Now the saddle ring, on the left side, is broken off. How does one replace it? Is it screwed or revitted in? Thanks, Deaf

    Ruger Toklat cylinder play

    I have a Ruger Toklat .454 and the cylinder very slightly can be rocked a bit at full cock. Yes, I know a slight amount of play in the cylinder is ok but I'm a purist. I prefer zero-zero lockup on my revolvers. So, would a new cylinder latch or paw/hand tighten the cylinder play? And does the...

    Christmas came a bit early

    At a pawnshop today. S&W 64-3, 3 inch, DAO stainless .38 Spl. revolver with the hammer spur missing AND the whole hammer flash chromed (that is the hammer was not ground off. It was flash chromed that way.) The hammer looks exactly like the one on this video...

    S&W 2 inch 10-5 RB

    At a pawn shop. Tight, no end shake, but some blue worn off one side of the barrel (holster wear it looks.) $349 plus Obamatax. But if it survives till Friday, black Friday, 20% off. So, $310 sound Ok? Deaf

    Tyler Texas. http://www.tylerpaper.com/TP-News+Local/211454/man-feared-for-his-life-before-fatal-shooting#.VKxkuzmle2Z Looks like a good shoot as the 65 year old man was questioned and released. The other guy was a transit who went berserk at a IHOP not far away. Deaf

    Swapping hammers in two Ruger GP-100s

    While back I got a GP-100 3 inch 'C.A.I.' import. A Canadian .357. This is the one I am looking for wood grips (and I think I'll wait till the Thiland guy has some wood form the remarks of others here!) Just last week I got ANOTHER one. It is a 4 inch, also C.A.I. It has a DAO hammer. BUT I...

    Dan Wesson Pointman 2 minor

    Bumming around a pawnshop today and they had a Dan Wesson Pointman 2 minor. It's a .45 auto I hear was made before CZ got ahold of DW. Now it's blue finish, kind of dusty and a bit of rust at some corners and has a Kimber mag (of all things.) It also has awful Pachmyr rubber grips. Missing...

    S&W Model 986 problems

    Well one of my friends has a 696 9mm 7 shot revolver. Brand new. I noticed that on every chamber it failed to lock up. That is the hand seems to be short and if you slowly cock it, it needs to be rotated by hand to get it to lock in the bolt. Not much rotation but defiantly you do have to...

    Ah.... 649 S&W Bodyguarad .38

    Great shape, little wear. Flash chrome hammer and trigger. $378, tax included. I'll shoot it in a day or so and let you guys know how she does. I have the 640 .38 and 60 also .38, and both with chrome hammers and trigger. Yes I'm a J frame junkie (and a real fool for K frame snubs!) Deaf

    Savage 24C series S

    Well I got my 'survival' rifle! When I was a kid I got as a present a Savage 24c 'Campers Companion' .22 lr on top and 20 gauge 2 3/4 on bottom. Took a .45 ACP rear sight, filed it into a 'V' and that was the rear sight. Well, being a dummy, I traded it off as years went by. Just yesterday I...

    S&W 65 4 inch .357

    Looks like an older model. Whomever had it did an action job and changes springs as the trigger pull sure isn't stock. Very slight scratchs on the gun that can be easily polished out. No end shake, no crane shake, but the hand is just a tad short and the cylinders won't lock up if you drag...

    24 inch barrel Winchester 92

    Gang, I found this Winchester 92, 24 inch barrel, in .44/40. Now the barrel has been reblued and the stock is pitiful with no butt plate. Rifling is good. It does function with ammo, I did lever some through it. Is it work $500? I know the reblue destroys collector value but is it still a...
