Erob3, Can you post a picture of this area of your pistol? This website has good instructions for assembly/disassembly if you need it. http://www.surplusrifle.com/pistolp38/disassemble1/index.asp

I went to the range today (really cold!) and tested 40 rounds of reloads for functionality/accuracy. The second round (and only the second round) in each clip failed to feed. Cycling the action manually after the FTF chambered the round and everything operated as normal until the second round...

Has anybody seen this? Another blow to our hobby. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/01/obama-administration-reverses-course-forbids-sale-antique-m-rifles/?test=latestnews

I finally took the plunge and picked up an M1895 Nagant revolver. Now I just have to figure out how to feed the beast. My first option is factory Prvi ammo. At $20 per box + shipping, that is my least favorite option. I realize factory ammo is not as spendy as it used to be, but it is still...

While at the range the other day, the trigger guard on my cz 82 started to fall down between mag changes. When I got home I took it apart and found that the "lip" on the front of the trigger guard that snaps over the trigger guard pin was pretty worn. Does anybody know where I can get a new...

I tried my hand at reloading for my Garand today, and the results were dissapointing. The groups were OK, but I had around 5-6 FTFs. I am using 150 grain FMJ bullets, once-fired HXP brass & H335 powder. My test topped out @ 43.2 grains (Hornady gives a spread of 36.9 to 46.4 grains). Could...

I finally got all the components to reload 8X56R, so I decided to load up some test rounds. I couldn't find any other reliable reloading data, so I had to use the Lee data that came with the dies. Unfortunately, the most commonly available bullets are in the 205-208 grain range (mine are 208...

1 more pic showing octagon barrel.

I was wondering if anyone might know anything about this rifle. I know some personal history for it (it has a pretty cool history - at least for me), but I really don't have any technical info on it: Who made it, when was it made, etc. The only technical thing that I "know" is that it is a 32...

Everything I've read says that the Romanian TTC mag capacity is 8 rounds, but I can only get 7 in mine. It feeds reliably with 7, but the 8th just won't go. The 7th is a little stiff to get in and feels like it reaches max spring comression. Are there different Tokarev mags with different...

The best buy that I've found on 30 carbine brass has been about $25 a hundred + shipping. My problem is that it's primed (they are out of everything else). I've never used primed brass before. I always size & trim first, but that would seem to be out with pre-primed stuff (30 carbine should...

Can anybody out there vouch for Powder Valley Inc for reloading supplies?

Does the Yugo M24/47 use the same firing pin spring as other Mauser 98 actions? I know this action is shorter than most Mauser actions (I believe it is called "intermediate"), so does this require a shorter firing pin spring?

www.ammoman.com has 900 round wooden crates of 50's Yugo 8mm Mauser ammo on sale for $199 - delivered. I know it isn't as cheap as it used to be, but this is a good bit cheaper than anyplace else I have found. Most folks want $30 - $50 just to ship ammo in this quantity. I purchased some of...

I am contemplating the purchase of a Yugo M59/66. I only have shooters in my collection, and the more range time the better. Therefore, cheap ammo is a must for me. I have narrowed the ammo choices to 2: brass milsurp and laquered steel. I would prefer the brass, but I know it is corrosive...
