    Need help to ID old Marlin pump

    Today I visited an older friend (I'm 70, to put that in perspective). Among the guns he dug out of his safe were a "D" Series Model '97 Winchester (does anyone remember the website for identifying the years of mfgr. for each of the "B" through "D" series?) But the puzzle for me was a shotgun...

    What's up with Belt Mountain? Can't get through to order a base pin.

    Anybody know what's happening at Belt Mountain Enterprises? About three weeks ago, I sent an e-mail regarding the base pin I'd need for an older Uberti SAA replica. Received a reply with description of exactly what I should order. Kicking myself now for not getting the order done that day or...

    Have you used the LaserLyte LTS Target? Thoughts on cartridge alternatives for it?

    Has anyone on the forum purchased or used the LaserLyte LTS electronic target? I saw a demo, I believe by Rob Pincus on TV's Personal Defense, and it looked very good. A very minor quirk: you have to be good enough to "hit" the smallish "review hits" circle at the bottom left in order to see...

    Parts for an old H&R .32 top-break

    I have an H&R top break, auto. ejecting 32 S&W Ctge., SN# 1842xx, that is missing the tiny little straight pin above the barrel assembly hinge, the one that holds the cylinder on. Imagine it would be called the cylinder retention pin. Anyone know the best place(s) to look for a replacement...

    Extra value for ultra-low serial number Stevens slide action?

    Was at a friend's house and noticed that he has a Stevens "Visible Loading" pump .22, in excellent condition. Assuming the serial number is the only number visible, on the metal rear of the trigger guard, it is under 10 (ten) and has the suffix "A". So unless there was production without a...
