I don't have one but my Pop does. He is not-so-patiently waiting for his M1 carbine from the CMP. Father's Day is coming up...is there a kit for the 10/22 that makes it look like an M1 carbine?

Scheduled power outage last night in my city. Supposed to be from Midnight till 11 am this morning. (power actually back on at 4:10 this afternoon) So...all I hear all night after 12 pm is sirens. I hear sirens maybe twice an hour due to my location close to a very major road that goes through...

My cyq code (Spreewerk, made in Czechoslovakia in 1944, all numbers matching) P.38 has a jam, maybe 50% of the time, when feeding a new round. A slight rearward tug on the slide clears it every time I have replaced the recoil springs. I have hand polished the feedramp (with scotchbrite and...

Well? News??? Somebody here must know something, or maybe even has tested one for a magazine? Spill it!

I have several failure to feed issues with my Spreewerk produced P.38 pistol To preface, all numbers matching. Russian capture, apparently they took care of this at least a little. Finish on the blue-dip is actually pretty good. barrel is frosty but the pistol is accurate. I have failure to...

OK, I will backdrop my situation: I am a legal Class A large capacity license holder, issued by the city of Boston MA. I also am a legal Boston resident. The fact of the matter is that a Class A high capacity license used to mean "Concealed Carry". Well not in Boston it doesn't They can (read...

They would be just the thing for my .32 Model 1903 Colt hammerless, but I have never seen one. All I need is one

I had to go to Home Depot this morning to get some better window locks. I stopped at a MCDonald's on the way back. "Hungry" and "lazy" are often words used to describe me on the weekend As I was in line, an old man, late 80s or so was behind me. Guy's going on his own power pretty good. When I...

I bought one of these fascinating pistols this weekend. .32, made in 1920. Good mechanically and surprisingly accurate, sweet trigger in my opinion. Frame and slide are original to each other. 10-15% blue left, some rust patina and just the beginning of rust on the slide and frame. I may have it...

I have a new to me Colt (made in 1920) that really deserves a re-finish. I'm contacting Colt tomorrow. I'm from the auto restoration world, so I know about "original is only once". Has anybody here ever had Colt re-finish a pistol for them? What was your experience? It may be a nice little road...

My pop bought a gorgeous MKII yesterday. I bought myself another pistol too, and we went to the range today I helped him clean that pretty Ruger...and I'll tell you what. I'll stick to my mil-spec pistolas. Holy crispy crap, what a PITA Everyone says: after a dozen times it will be easy. Well...

I've wanted one of these for some time. The photo definitely shows this little pistol's worst aspect, because of the flash- blue is about 15% I'd say. I got this Colt 1903 .32 hammerless made in 1921 with 2 two-tone mags today. I saw a much nicer one too- for much more money. But this one spoke...

I never see any mention of these. Mine's a nice revolver, crisp, light, accurate. Six shot, while historically I think they were really 5. I also think the Pietta is a little too large for an accurate reproduction I see none for sale, and I never see anyone that has one besides me. Did they...

Hi I took my new (well, new to me at least) M1 Garand to the range yesterday It is from the CMP, re-barreled in 1946 by the US Army, built in 1944. Made by Springfield. Service grade I had an unpleasant surprise, loading my very first clip- the en bloc clip would not easily seat all the way...

Very nice rifle mechanically. Wood is, well, distressed. I am beginning to clean that up today. I have taped off cartouche marks so I won't obliterate them. I may simply just find a nicer wood set The rifle was manufactured in '44, re-barelled in '46. Springfield Armory made it, although it...

Just got back from shooting. My Dad and I went to the 25 yd range with our pistols, his is a Ruger Old Army .44 repro (1858?), mine is a Colt 1862 repro, .36 NYM Police He played a little with load size, went from 20gr to 30gr. I think he shot better with 30gr. It's my understanding that 20gr...

Currently my Dad and I are using Pyrodex (P?, I don't exactly recall). His pistol is a .44 Old Army Remington repro, mine is a .36 Colt Police repro, steel frame. I'm using a 20 gr load, and he's shooting the same Cleaning is actually quite easy, but I did have the barrel pilots get fouled and...
