I have a commercial mauser maked Western Field, which I know to be the Montgomery Ward store brand. Model EJN-75 in 30-06 Receiver is marked "made in Belgium" with a 4 digit serial on the right side. Is there any info to tell when this rifle was made?

What was the time frame for when 357 magnum and later 44 magnum started to be chambered in Winchester, and also Marlin rifles? I know colt was quick to chamber the 357, did the lever companies follow suit?

Was just curious on the bullet weight and powder charges of the Remington 46 rimfire cartridges that were used in the various cartridge conversions for their revolvers.

I'm looking for either a hybrid or leather IWB holster for a 5 inch 1911 with a Streamlight TLR 6. I used to use Whitehat holsters but they're no longer around.

Got a Ruger Vaquero with the color case hardening. My understanding is it's cosmetic and not actual case hardening. Well evidently it's a weak finish or I was too aggressive scrubbing a spot of surface rust off and it's now missing on part of the frame. Aside from sending it off to Turnbull...

I know there are some cosmetic differences like the cut of the slide, but mechanically/internally what is the difference? Is the Shadow 2 just slicked up for competitions or is there more to it? I'm not disparaging the Shadow, just trying to understand what exactly I get for the increased price.

I know everything is more expensive these days and it's been many moons since I bought a stock from Boyd's, but when did they double in price? I remember paying 100 bucks for a stock from them now they're close to 200 before you add any options to em. By the time you add some options you could...

Per my previous mauser thread, I have an interarms mark x action I was originally going to build into a 308. Going so far as to buy a heavy barrel from green mountain barrels. To save myself from buying another barrel, would a gunsmith be able to ream out the chamber on that 308 barrel to a...

Recently acquired a Ruger Vaquero Bisley, and it's kind of making me hate the standard plough handle on my Blackhawk. Even when I bought the blackhawk I had hopes to convert it, but I've noticed it seems impossible to find a frame... Can find the hammer and such but the grip frame seems sold...

I've got a interarms Mark X receiver that was originally chambered for 30-06. I'd originally intended to build it into a heavy barreled 308. I've got several of those now and am thinking I'd like to do something else with it. I've wanted a 300 WM for a long while and am wondering if this...

I know we do the cowboy load now, curious if that was actually the norm back in the day? If so, why didn't colt ever modify/improve the design so you could safely load all 6 chambers?

My marlin 336 has the sling stud that clamps around the magazine tube. Was hoping to replace it with a barrel band that has a sling stud on it. I know they existed at least at some point, but I can't seem to find one anywhere...

Looking for an IWB holster for a P01 Omega with a TLR-7a. White hat holsters says theirs will work. Everyone else I've checked with either doesn't make a holster for the omega or they do but not if it has a light attached.

Like the title says, anyone take their Ruger through a 500rd class or anything similar? How did it perform? I've never had reliability issues with my Ruger but I don't know that I've ever done more than a couple hundred rounds at a time without a cleaning.

I'm not looking to get into fast draw this is just curiosity on my part. I've seen it mentioned several times how continually fanning a revolver can cause damage over time and that special modifications are done to the revolvers used in competitions. I couldn't find much info on what those...

I bought a ruger blackhack in 357 magnum with the 4 5/8 barrel. It shoots/groups great, but often times the casings get stuck in the chambers and the ejection rod doesn't reach far enough to completely eject em and I end up having to pull em out with my fingertips. Is this normal? Is there a...

Do these two rifles use the same mounts? I am looking at a mount that specifically says 1895, while other's I've seen are universal marlin mounts. Didn't know if maybe they had different screw spacings.

I have a stainless new model blackhawk in 357. I'd like to have the bisley hammer installed, I understand it'll need to be fitted/have the hump grinded off. Do I need any other parts?

Extremely high probability I am buying a Uberti 1873 in 357 on Monday or Tuesday (unless they sold all 3, entirely possible). Any feedback or things I should look for/avoid?

Wondering what y'all would consider the strongest 45-70 action to be as far as lever guns? Referring specifically to tube magazine models, not single shots. I'd gues it's the Marlin but I'm admittedly basing that on absolutely nothing.
