A few days ago, I purchased one of those Romanian 22 training rifles. To say the rifle was packed in grease would be an understatement. So when I break it down to clean it, I notice that the rear trigger plate screw, screws right into the wood. If that screw hole ever strips, how would I fix it...

Aside from their long lead times, what has been your experience with Bar Sto customer service and their return policy? I'm in a situation with them right now. I won't get into any details until I get further info from them. Thanks.

Guys, Other than Browning and Brownells, who sells the current factory barrel for a 9mm Browing Hi-Power? The current barrels have no serial numbers and have a chamber loaded cut-out. Thanks.

I'm planning on replacing the plastic safety and trigger housing on my Mossy 590. Changing out the trigger housing is a snap. But for the life of me, I can't figureout how to remove the mag safety. The screw has that hourglass design which makes it impossible to loosen the screw. Do I need to...

Here's the scenario: You live in a two story Colonial-style home with an attached garage and no dog or cat. It's 2:30 am. You're upstairs in bed and the sound of glass breaking awakes you from a sound sleep. You recall that your only child, a 16 year old daughter, is sleeping at friend's house...

I just had my MKIII made in 1990 sonic cleaned. My gunsmith said the frame was an aluminum alloy. I thought all Hi-Powers were all-steel. What gives?

I've read several threads about Remington's extended mag tubes shooting loose on 870s. Does anybody install ball detents which would correct this effect? Thanks.

Guys -- I recently purchased a Hi Power MKIII 9mm 1990 manufacture. I'm noticing wear marks along the left side of the trigger lever. I think that's its name. It's that thing that points upwards as you pull the trigger when the slide is taken off the frame. Are these marks normal?

On Hi-Power MKIIIs with the lanyard ring, how is the lanyard ring attached? Is it part of the grip as on the Makarovs, or is it part of the pistol? Thank you in advance.

I recently purchased a 1990 MKIII with very little use. Last night after a range session, I field stripped it for cleaning. I noticed something strange on the rear locking lug. On the right side of the rear lug, there is a scrape on the top of the lug. I checked the locking lug recess in the...

Guys -- I have a HK/Benelli M1S90 with the pistol grip/shoudler stock. I know that installing 7 round mag tube is illegal on the post ban auto loader. But if I was to use a limiter to keep to it five rounds, would it be legal? I really like to the look of the full mag tube. [This message has...

Last night, I was wiping down the magazine for my Hi-Power with some oil. Well, the mag slipped out of my hands and dropped right on my gun! Of course, the mag had to hit the gun with the sharp edge of the base plate and of course it had to hit the gun on angled edge. Now I have a tiny nick in...

I just retrofitted my Wilson 8-round mags with Metalform stainless steel round followers and Wolff Xtra Power mag springs to create 7-round magazines. When fully loaded, two of the four mags lock in the pistol with ease. The other two won't lock in at all. What's wrong?

I'm a total newbie when it comes to Hi Powers. I just bought an LNIB MK III made in 1990. Here's my question. On the right side of the feed ramp as you're looking into the chamber, the feed ramp tapers to the left. I can't find any schematics or pictures that show much detail. I examined the...

I just bought a Hi-Power MKIII with a factory hi-cap mag on Saturday. It was never fired but shows some slight oxidation from poor storage and had no box. So I got it for $420. Anyway, is it normal for the feed ramp to have an 45 degree angle cut on its right side as viewed from the chamber...

I'm looking to buy a new or used Hi-power MK111 in 9mm this weekend, if I can find one. Does anyone have any advice on what to look for if used? Any particular markings I should be aware of? What's the going rate for one new or 90 - 98% condition? Thanks in advance.

I purchased a Smith & Wesson 625 in 45 LC late last year, before they sold out. It came with two coupons good for free cleanings. Has anyone used theirs. And if so, who paid for the shipping? Thanks in advance.

Ok, guys. Here's the deal. I have 600 bucks to spend on a gun at the OGCA show in Cleveland May 13th. No Glocks -- already have one. No CZs, already have one. No HK USPs, had one didn't like it. No Sigs, already have one. No 1911s, already have one. No AKs, had one didn't like it. No shotguns, I...

Just wanted to see if any dealers on this forum are going to the OGCA club in Cleveland later this month. If so, I'm looking for a Browning Hi-power in 9mm. Anybody going who can help me out? Thanks.

Does anybody know which armies, if any, use the CZ pistols as their issued sidearm?
