Back on Jan. 1st, I asked for help in finding some stripper clips for a 7.63 Mauser Broomhandle pistol. John suggested that I contact Sarco. I did; but they no longer had any. I've also called International Military Antiques, Springfield Sporters, and Gun Parts Corp. No luck, so far. I've...

I'm looking for info on an old shotgun that used to belong to my wife's grandfather. It's a single shot 30" barrel, 12 gauge 'Nitro Hunter' (ser.#657X) made by Belknap Hardware and Mfg. Co. It's in, at least, 95% condition. Any help and advice on it's history, date of manufacture, or relative...

I'm trying to help a friend with some background info on a pair of .22 revolvers he's come across. One's stainless, the other blue. Both are 9-shot, 5 1/2" barrels, DA, plastic grips, in about 95% condition. On the right side of the barrel is High Standard Mfg. Corp., Hayden, Conn. USA Ser#...

I'm going to buy a .30-30 rifle within the next month or so. There's no hurry. Always wanted one ever since I was a kid, though. What are some good lever action models out there? There's a local gun shop here that's got a Marlin w/ a great looking sling for $249. Same shop has a Winchester...

A guy I work with brought in this bumper sticker the other day. It says: "I Spank My Child So He Doesn't Grow Up And Shoot Yours!" It's caused a consider amount 'down time' as both co-workers and clients have discussed the pros and cons of corporal punishment, child rearing and society at...

I just got thru reading Quiet Storm's thread of Dec. 12th, on the .32/20 revolver. Is there anywhere I can go to find more information on the history of the gun and caliber, in particular, the foreign variations? I realize that they are, for the most part, 'pot metal junk'; but my dad has...

Ok guys, before you laugh me out of here, remember I'm still a 'newbie' at TFL. Only been a member for 15 days. Please explain (one more time) why a chat room hasn't been incorporated into TFL format? Looks like you have plenty of knowledgeable and friendly members to monitor the discussions...

First off: Happy New Year To One And ALL! Can anyone help me find some stripper clips for a 7.63 Mauser Broomhandle pistol? And how can I safely load the magazine without using a stripper clip? Any tips, advice, or general info would be greatly appreciated. And, no, I have not fired...

First off: Greetings to all in the New Year!!! Where I work, any mentioning of the 2nd Amendment and related issues are definitely not PC. I like what I do (the pay and benefits are ok), but I often feel like on the outsider looking in. All the guys, and...
