    Rossi model 61 SAC, .22 S-L-LR

    Recently I posted my luck in finding aRossi M59, in 22 magnum. A few days after I found that gun, I found this almost new Rossi model 61 SAC on Gun Broker. I won the bid without increasing my home equity loan and picked it up at my dealer this afternoon. It even smoother than the Model 59...

    Rossi M59, .22 Mag

    Just found this beautiful Rossi copy of the old Winchester 62 pump .22. This one is in the very hard to find .22 Mag and seems to be in perfect condition. It feeds .22 Mag like silk and has a really light smooth trigger. Field stripped it this afternoon and the insides look just as good as the...

    Marlin (Remlin made in 2019) 1894 CS, .357/38 lever gun

    Just picked up this Marlin 1894 CS, .357/.38 yesterday. This carbine was made in March of 2019 and was one of the last of the Remington Marlins. It only had about 10 rounds through it according to the dealer. I just bought one of the new Ruger/Marlin 1894 .44Mag carbines and when I first...

    My new Marlin/Ruger Classic .44 Mag

    My dealer got the first one in from his distributor. He showed it to me yesterday and I foolishly walked out without it. Quoted me a price of only $1,000 which I thought was great. Did not sleep last night especially after seeing the crooks on GunBroker and other sites for prices from $1,250...

This is my third attempt to talk to someone at Henry about this. …..” SAFETY ISSUE After dry firing the gun (the same as if you had a failure to fire a live round ) and after  I applied the safety, I could not retract the charging handle all the way...

    Girsan MCP 35 mix and match

    I just picked up my new MCP35 PI, all black, from Kentucky Gun Company for only $475 with free shipping. I figured out how to remove and replace the guide rod/recoil spring system with the help of a video posted by BH Springs (great company). After playing with it for about an hour and with the...

    My new Ruger LC Carbine (5.7 x 28)

    This thing is absolutely great. Slipped a Sig Romeo5 red dot on it and took it to the range. Shot it at 10 yards and it was one raged hole. Almost the same at 25 yards. The flip up sights can be used right through the Sig red dot scope (love this feature). I ordered the 5 shot mag extension as...

    A case for single action shooting

    When I joined the Michigan State Police in 1966, we were trained to shoot our Smith and Wesson revolvers (both K and J frame models) in single action mode only. We used standard bullseye targets in the “Camp Perry” style course of fire. (All troopers were issued the heavy barrel model 10)...

    My new to me,2001, Browning Hi-Power

    I found this pristine, 2001 date of manufacture, Browning Hi-Power, “Practical” series yesterday. Over the years, I have had a 2018 (probably the last year made) blue, BHP as well as two Argentine models. Due to the very harsh trigger pull on my last BHP. I sold all of these guns. Fast...

    Finally got a German PPK .380

    Very excited about this PPK and have to share my story with you. I just met with a gun guy friend of mine that I haven’t seen for 50 years. He knew I liked Walther PPK’s and offered to sell (give me/I have to give him more gun items to make this deal more fair/no I cannot say what I paid since...

    Buying some CAS style revolvers

    Starting in October 2020, I started buying some reproduction cap and ball revolvers as well as some other Cowboy Action type guns. One of my favorites is this Cimarron Lighting revolver (3 1/2" barrel) in 32-20 with an extra cylinder in .32 H&R Mag. This gun is actually going to serve as an...

    New/old Taurus blued model 94, .22 LR 9 shot revolver

    Just bought a blued model 94, .22 LR 9 shot revolver. Looks like it has been shot very little and had a really beautiful blue finish with no marring. I also have a really nice S&W model 63-5. Sort of wanted to see how good I can make the Taurus run. By the way, I really like the S&W but I...

    Bonding with my CZ PCR

    Was looking over all my handguns including my serious 9mm carry guns and thought I would share some of my thoughts about the best looking, most comfortable shooting, never malfunctioning, etc., CZ PCR (Police Czech Republic) 9mm. I removed the steel magazine butt plate on all my 14 round...

    Advantage Arms .22LR Commander unit on full size ATI frame

    Just received my Advantage Arms .22 LR conversion unit for a 1911 frame. Decided to install it on my full size ATI .45 Mil Spec frame. (Photo shows the ATI full slide in front of the AA unit installed.) Everything fit perfectly except for some very slight sanding on the bottom plate of the...

    S&W 3913, like new

    Just picked up this nice 3913 today. Had just the curved base magazine but several weeks ago I found a new flat base magazine at a Gander World store for $7.00. Bought it to use with my CS9 but little did I know I would find an actual 3913 a few weeks later. Got it with the original box...

    Just picked up this nice XTR, AE along with a Compact Leupold 4x rifle scope. Called Winchester this morning and found out it was made in 1987. Has a rebound hammer but no safety which started showing up about 1992. Came with "see through" scope mount rings which I promptly removed. Now...

    New Walther PPK/S

    Just picked up a new Walther PPK/S made in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Installed a set of custom grips on it that used to live on my 1984 Interarms PPK/S. This thing is very accurate and feeds all types of .380 ammo with no problems. Below is a photo of my recently refurbished German, l965 era...

    S&W CS9, Chief's Special 9mm auto

    I found this yesterday at a good price. It was made in 2005 and is in great condition. Came with two mags and I found two more NOS mags (pricey) on the web last night, so I will be good to go. Really wonder why I am still buying plastic guns since most of the time they are in the door of my...
