I'm the gun guy in the family. But I'm not a revolver guy (yet). So my dad shows up and hands me his pal's Rossi M68. When the trigger is pulled or the hammer is cocked, the hammer only goes about halfway back before it stops, and the cylinder doesn't turn. The cylinder isn't frozen, as it...

I picked up a police trade 870 without a barrel recently, and when I pulled off the forend assembly, this little dingus fell out of the gun. Is this a mangled part I need to replace, or just some piece of trash that fell into the gun? Thanks.

If I'm browsing TFL and have to take care of something IRL, when I eventually return, previously unread threads and posts will all be marked as read as soon as I start browsing again. What can cause this, and how can I prevent it? It seems to happen independently of the browser I use, and it...

Is there such a thing as an extended slide release for a Remington 870? My poor Ithaca is getting lonely, so I was toying with the idea of getting her some company. I want to like the Remington 870, I really do, except that the slide release is a problem for me. Since it's on the wrong side...

My friend picked it up at a gunshow today. We didn't get it out of the stock yet, but the only markings were serial number and caliber. It appears to be somewhat similar to a Mauser 98, except that the cocking sleeve is somewhat different, and there aren't any of those short lugs(?) on the...

I was thinking about getting a shoulder holster, and I noticed that vertical and horizontal rigs are availible. How do they compare in terms of concealability, ease and/or quickness of draw, and other applicable factors?

I'm thinking about getting one installed sometime in the future. If you have one, what do you think about it?

I must admit, I love my Ithica 37 Featherlight, which really pumps smoothly. What are considered to be the smoothest pumping shotguns out there?

Local gunshop has a nice Ithica Model 37 for $250. A search of various gun auction sites reveals this to be a good price (some nefarious folk are selling the Chinese copies for as much). I figure it will make a wonderful upgrade from my H&R single shot. I am probably going to pounce on it...

I'm having a rather difficult time here. I'm trying to search the forums for more information on the Maverick shotgun series, except the only thing that turns up is two threads where I ask about it, and if I widen the search to include other forums, I get one additonal thread which has nothing...

All I know is that the Maverick is a hell of a lot cheaper. What are the differences between the two?

He only payed $50, and got two boxes of ammo and holster, so at least he wasn't ripped off too badly. Anyways, does anyone know what in particular causes these pistols to occasionally explode? Is it just the shoddy materials, or is it some other defect? I was thinking, it would be great if we...

I was cleaning out my closet, and I ran across my Grandpa's old shotgun. Unfortunately, it's missing the bolt. I know I don't have it, as it was missing when it was first given to me. It's a .410 Mossberg 83D, although the bolt from an 83B is also supposed to work. Numrich is out of stock...

Man, this is such BS. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1004phxfema04.html
