I have a P1 and also a P38, both have mysterious rattling sound. I found out what it was after removing the P1 slide. It's the 2 small shiney metal pieces above the mag well flopping around, called the "Firing Pin Lock, Lifter" and "Safety Hammer Lowering Lever". They have minimal lateral...

I saw a for sale ad selling a S&W Regulation Police revolver .38 S&W, in fair condition, mechanically sound, black rubber grips, for $50. I would be buying it sight unseen but would it be an okay deal if the revolver works like it should? (Well I guess with transfer and shipping it'll probably...

The original wood finish on the used S&W M65 was pretty worn so I took it off. Now I can't find a way to get the original color back. it was a orangish brown color, now the wood is dark brown after I stripped it and cleaned it. I'm considering bleeching the wood and then restaining, but I...

If you remember, I asked around here for some info on the S&W M65 awhile ago. You guys gave me some good feedbacks so I went and picked it up for $220 out the door. It's a used police trade in, but in great looking condition. The only thing major is a scratch on the original S&W wood panel...

I saw a used S&W M64 SS 4" bbl for $200 at local pawn shop. It looks to be in very good condition, some handle wear, barrel looks clean, but as I dont' know much about revolvers I'm here to get some info. I went to SW website and it only confused me more. What's up with .357mag/.38spl+p ammo...

Have a chance to get a good condition Universal M1 Carbine for about $400 with 8 USGI 15rd mags and 1 stock mag pouch. I've always wanted an M1 ever since handling a friend's, but as I dont' know much about M1 carbines I'm wondering if this is my chance. Any info would be appreciated. thanks.

Saw one in a pawn shop today, thought it was a 1911, but the shop owner said its' a STAR B 9mm. It looks nice and slim though, with all the charm of a 1911. Are they good pistols? The one I saw has some sort of faint markings, the owner say the guy put it on consignment said it's from WWII...

Had a "friendly" talk with a guy at the range the other day, he kept on insisting that stainless steel slide has better tensile strength than regular slide. True?

Heard from a friend of a friend of a friend (you know how that goes), there's a S&W 681 .357in very good condition for sale $220. What do u think? I couldn't find any info on S&W website on a model 681, could someone got it wrong and it's a 686? It's a stainless, with 4" barrel, that's...

Finally my choices are down to Sig P226 and Walther P99, but I have to pick one for my "general purpose" 9mm. In other words, this will be the primary shooter when I go to range, and one that I can count on defending the house with. I like Sig due to it's proven reliability and all steel...

I'm looking for my first shotgun and this forum's been great. I've read alot of posts, but I would like to get some opinion in my choices based on what I want to do with my SG. Basically I want a "generalist" shotgun, one that I can enjoy and practice in leisure, defend the house if needed...

Is $200 for a Mossberg 500 Persuader 12GA 20" 8+1 pistol grip good price? The only place with 8+1 I found is CDNN. If you know a place with better shotgun deals plz let me know. Thanks.

I tried to search the topic but it wouldnt' let me search for "8+1" or something like that. Anyhow, I went to Wal-Mart to see if they have any Mossberg 500 Persuader, but the only one they had was 6+1 shot. Is there a law that limits the capacity for pumps?

Saw a Sig P226 in very good condition for $399. Good price? It looks like it was carried more than it was shot.

Believe it or not, flatbed scanner is a poor man's digital cam. I scanned my 3 favorite rifles. Now that I'm better with Photoshop, putting together gun collage from scans is a cinch. Will post my Yugo SKS when it's refinished. :) Arsenal USA SSR-85C, 7.62x39mm Century SAR-2, 5.45x39mm...

I don't have a digital cam, so I combined the images I took with a scanner. I hope it shows clear enough. The stock Romanian SAR-2 comes as a nice copy of AK-74, although the finish is on the rough side. The wood is ugly to say the least, but is quite attractive underneath the heavy...

I've been thinking of selling my semi-auto handgun, but this quote in UPS Terms & Conditions troubles me. (Link: http://www.ups.com/using/services/details/firearms.html) [/b] I take it that "letter on record with UPS stating their status as an authorized firearm shipper" means the FFL...

For those haven't heard, Century International Arms is running a March Special on Argentine Ballester Molina .45ACP for $159.87. It's C&R so I decided to risk it. It's not a Colt Systema, it was a loose copy of M1911A1. It can exchange barrel and mag with 1911A1, but most other parts can't...

I might be selling a handgun to someone my state, but I'm not clear about the Washington State law on private transfer of a handgun. Any "waiting period" things that apply here? What else would i have to do? Thanks.

Any comment on these pistols? I was thinking of EAA Witness target pistols at CDNN. Those, especially the .45 seem to be a great price around $300. All the other "value" pistols are priced right there as well. Which would be the best bang for the buck so to speak? Thanks.
