I have a "new" Aussie Victory model w/ a 4" bbl in S&W 200. I bought another S&W with a 2" bbl in S&W special. I just bought the book recommended by the Moderators for checking models and serial numbers so I can see if my 2" is really a Victory model. After I get the book and check I'll try...

I bought a Z-999 [improved copy of a Sig-P226] and it came today to my gun store. It came with only one magazine, anyone know where to buy additional magazines?

I buy sporterized 1917's and refinish them. They are usually inexpensive and represent some regular guy's best effort at having a hunting rifle. I was working on a Remington Eddystone and a regular Remington the other day and found that the rifling in one was clockwise, and the rifling in the...

I have 2 Single Shot Rifles I bought some years ago from an Estate Sale. I have only seen one piece of information about them in a Single Shot Rifle Book. They are hammerless, and except for that seem to be regular Highwalls. The 45-70 caliber rifle has a very light weight barrel and is...

I will be picking up a series 70 1911 in 10 days or so. It is supposed to be near mint and has two barrels. One is a .41 Avenger that is an inch longer than standard and has the integral ramp. I would assume that means the frame has been machined to take that type of barrel. The other barrel...

I have two MD57 S&W .41's -one w/6"bbl, the other with a 8-3/8" bbl. Is there an accurate sub-sonic [below 1100fps] load for these revolvers? I could cut down brass 1/10 of an inch and work up .41 sp loads, but I would prefer one of the newer powders that will give good performance at lower...

I am about to re-parkerize my 1911 china rustbucket and experiment with manganese this time- with a bath in cosmoline after to try for the greenish tinge of some of the WWII pieces. My question is, do I have to beadblast off the old parkerizing or will the new simply adhere to the old finish?

I have some CH reloading dies from a company that was in business around 1970 in Gardena, California- from an estate sale I bought two single shot rifles that are hammerless Highwalls. They are marked CH Armory- the serial numbers are EXP #1 and the second doesn't have a safety finished, and...

As deer are getting scarce in Western NM, my son wants to go Black Bear hunting. As he will be using a single shot #1 in .458 WM [loaded about as hot as a 45-90] I figured I had better have a backup rifle. I have a Remington number 8 in .35 Remington, and a Remington model 30 in .35 Whelen. I...

Howdy-I shoot a High wall in .40-65 and a Sharps in 45-90. I heard about non-corrosive black powder, and I read about Golden powder, but that it was too hydroscopic. I was advised to check out 777 smokeless, but I wondered if anyone here knew of a source for non corrosive black powder that...
