I have an SKB, 12 gauge, over and under I purchased in 1967. It's the only double barrel shotgun I've used where the safety does not engage when breaking open the gun. It has never done this. Was this gun designed to do this?

I was given a Stevens, 20 gauge single barrel break open shotgun. I cannot find a model number. Suggestions?

A friend has one of these guns. He says it misfires too many times. Any ideas?

Gents and Ladies, While watching a recorded documentary on the American Heroes Channel about the Marines in Korea at the Chosin Reservoir, I noticed a Marine firing his M-1 which has this ring like device on the left side of the receiver. It doesn't look like a ring for attaching a sling...

I load 357 in various bullet weights and styles. I am behind the curve when it comes to lead hardness so bear with me. If I find a good deal on lead bullets, I am not concerned with hardness only a good deal. Oregon Trail sells 180 grain LSWC (Brinell 15) bullets. My Lyman Load Data...

Gents and Ladies, My father was a 2nd Lieutenant in Heidelberg, Germany from 1946 to 1949. During this time, he "liberated" as he said, two Mauser 98s which were sporterized; one had a Mannlicher stock. I don't know what he meant by "liberated" and I never pursued the issue. I always...

My Lee Second Edition calls for a C.O.A.L. for the 223 to be 2.260". Don't recall manufacturer of my 55 grain PSP bullets but they do have cannelures. I seated to 2.260" but case mouth is approx .031" below cannelure. Should I leave as is or seat bullet to cannellure?

I found some 223 cases with this information on the head stamp. F C (probably Federal) 223 Rem To the left of the "F" are two small indented circles and to the right of the "C" are two small indented circles. No crosses in the circles. One small indented circle between 223 and Rem Are...

Will someone provide a few names of side-by-side shotguns made in spain.

I found some .223 brass. Headstamp is PSD with what looks like the manufacture date of 22 (2022). It has no military/NATO markings; however, the primers are sealed. I have not resized to see if the primer pocket has a crimp ring or other type of crimping. Is this military brass?

Gents and Ladies, A friend just called to tell me he has a choice of one of two shotguns from a deceased relative. One is a semi-auto Remington 11-48 in 16 gauge and the other is also a 16 gauge side-by-side but at the moment, he can't find a manufacturer. He is calling long distance so I...

While gathering 9mm for a friend, I noticed the following. Primer is sealed. Headstamp has is Sellier and Bellot P.S. with the small circle and a + in it, which is typical of US military brass. When he loads this brass, does he need to remove crimping in the primer pocket? Are there...

I am attempting to repair my grandson's Winchester 1400 semi-auto in 12 gauge. The carrier release button is missing. I'm looking for a reliable gunsmith in the Gilbert, Arizona area. Any suggestions?

My grandson asked if I could repair his broken 1400. I've neither shot nor disassembled a 1400 so bear with me. I disassembled the gun, did a thorough cleaning and was able to re-assemble the gun without a manual. It didn't take long to notice the action release is missing. I will order a...

For the S&W in my Lee manual, this statement appears. "Do not use reloads in Glock or similar guns with chambers that do not fully support the cartridge doe to the intrusion of the feed ramp". Please explain this. Also, why does this not apply to factory ammo?

I have an all brass, 3" .410 shot shell. It has a head stamp, which is so small I can't identify what is even under high magnification. The primer is probably Berdan based on the size. It also has a date of '70. There are no markings on the case and no indication of what is in the case. A...

How much should I crimp .357 JHP bullets. This is for a lever gun. While unloading some unfired rounds from this rifle, one of them has the bullet pushed in so it's almost flush with case mouth. I shoot a lot of these from this gun and have never had this problem. When I seat these...
