I have an Uberti Bisley SA. The front sight came off a few years ago, never to bee seen again. So I just put the thing up. I have decided it's time to get it sorted. I have crafted another sight blade that fits the slot. It is my understanding these thing are generally a "press fit", naturally...

I am converting an old 20 ga bolt shotgun into a short range slug gun. It has an adjustable apeture site alread installed. Once I shorthen the barrel to 22 inches, I will need to add a new front sight. Is there a guideline as to how high the front sight should be to start? Max range is 25 yards...

In my quest for the "perfect for me" pocket revolver, I have now come to the grip (or stocks) for a j frame S&W round butt 38 Special or 32 Mag. I have big flipper hands so I am looking for the comprosmise between controlability and concealability. The Hogue Bantam look like it may be a good...

I am debating between getting 22 mag or 32 mag snubbie. Which one is easier too shoot? Ammo cost is not an issue. I find the 38 in a snubbie a bit much for one handed shooting. Thanks Joe

I was cleaning out the gun cabinet the othere day and found my old J-22. It was just a plinking gun so the fact that it only "semi -semi-auto", mostly single shot, didn't matter. Anyway, I was thinking that the situation could be inproved. I seem to recall that one (of the many) feeding issues...

I am building a reproduction Jezail and I need a five foot long barrel. Any thoughts as to where I could buy one? Also, Is there any truth that seamless waterpipe could be used? It seems like a quick way to emergency room to me. But the rational is that modern steel is better than most barrels...

Does anyone else miss the PPK? The new Walther is more like a military/police class pistol. The PPK has a nice thin frame and a classy look that went with the tux. I would like to hear your thoughts. Joe

I have a Bisley that I need to convert. It was made by ASM. I want to change the grip. I discovered that the grip from my low cost (cabalas) 1854 will fit. The opening for the trigger in the guard would have to be enlarged but as this part is made of brass I can handel it with the moto-tool. My...

I am considering buying a rifle barrel insert for a Savage double barrel in 45-70 from MCA sports in Alaska. Has anyone ever used one? What kind of accuracy can I expect? Say 100 yards? I am doing this because I have to, not because I want to make a double rifle. Thanks for any help.

Santa left an old H&R 22 in my stocking. It appears to be a double action only. The cylinder is removable only by taking out the cylinder pin. It also has a little flange behind the trigger. It is part os a hammer blocking safety. Unless it is depressed, the pin will not go foward. Any info...

I was interesed in getting a silence pistol or a short barrled rifle as an investment. As I have a corporation I'm not concerned about the LEO sign-off. What I want to know is, what rights do the ATF have in keeping track of the AOW. Are we talking kicking the door in at midnight, or a letter...

I recently bought a West German ppk/s 1971 vintage. It came w/ the finger rest clip, but for concealed carry, its a bit bulky. I would like to get a standard clip for it. Now the Walther catalog lits 2 clips, one for the US made and one for the German. Does anyone know the difference there is a...

On an online auction I saw a guy selling a non-firing replica "civil war revolving musket." You can see a picture of it at www.pineridge7.com Did this gun ever exist? I know there were revolving carbines used in the Florida Indian wars, but I never saw one like this. Thanks.

I'm considering getting one of those 9mm "assault pistols" This is strictly a "for fun" purchase. One of those things I always ment to buy but didn't. Something along the lines of a Cobray/Mac 11, Tec9, kind of thing. As I'm not going to get s silencer I don't care about a threaded barrel. So...

I need to lop 6 inches off a double barreled shotgun. My local guy said it would cost 75 bucks and I'm not going to spend anymore on this thing. I just need to get it down to 20 or 21 inches. It's going to be used for CAS and fun things, not real shootin. Okay, I'm in over my head, so I need...

I like to cruise the other boards, but I've lost a couple. I can't find the "Gun links message board" I don't worry so much about that one, TFL is MUCH better :D But I've also lost AR15.com, which I do miss. Has anyone else had trouble connecting to those sites?

I have decided to make the plunge and get a an ar15 or clone. I am leaning toward the Bushmaster, there website is very good. How do they compare to Colts or Armorlites? What can I expect to pay? I wouldn't feel comfortable buying I kit. I'm buying new and a compleate rifle. Thanks Joe...

I have a Walther PP in 380. It has a heel clip mag release. Does anyone know the age of this weapon? It appears to be in good working order (Finish has holster wear.) but I was afraid that the gun might be too old to shoot. I bought it second hand on the net so I know nothing of its history...
