I inherited an 870 Wingmaster that is in beautiful condition (perfect, original blue and no wear anywhere). The barrel code indicates it was made in December, 1953 (code: xZZ). But I know there are a zillion 870's around, and considering the condition of this particular one, I'm just wondering...

I know this info is probably here somewhere, buried within many threads, but I can't seem to find the simple answer in one place. So please be patient... I have a Bushmaster all original DCM that's never been fired. I bought it directly from Bushmaster. But over time, I've decided I don't want...

I've got an older Model 41 made before S&W began tapping them for scopes. It's a pristine pistol on which I would like to install a smallish red-dot scope but I'd like to avoid doing any additional drilling and tapping if I can help it. I haven't been able to find anything yet, so I'm wondering...

Hi girls! I'm trying to do the research for my CCW permitted wife who isn't "into" guns, but is into self defense. I should say that she isn't as thin as she used to be (of course, neither am I), but still looks hot to me just the same ;) . I only mention that because some holsters that work...

If you carry concealed legally and want to do it "right", then this is a fascinating read I've come across. Just plain good info about the subject. I apologize if it's been covered before. If so, just say so and we'll close the thread...

I've looked through a LOT of different forums that deal with many different topics (I'm not just a gun-nut, you see ;) ), and in most, the moderators are either little Hitlers on a power trip, or they don't moderate at all to where the forum becomes nothing more than an "after-school fight in...

I searched and saw that there has been some previous discussions about FLGR's, but I can't find an answer to my specific question. I bought a brand new Colt 4860XSE Commander LW last month, and it has a full length, one piece, guide rod, standard from the factory (I know it's one piece because...

I just checked with the Milt Sparks company and was told that they are 20 weeks out for shipping a Versa Max II holster. I don't care to discuss whether the company is "that good" to have that kind of backlog or if they are clueless about how to do manufacturing to meet customer's needs. I...

A sort-of similar thread was closed earlier because it was heading in the wrong direction but I am interested in this subject so I would like to try it again. Here's the thing; at a recent CCW class I went through recently, there was an LE present (not just an LE, but a field supervisor...

Hi all, Back in the very early '80s, I bought a brand new Python Hunter "set" that came in the Halliburton case with scope and accessories. I bought it on a whim because I had always liked Pythons (now have 3 ;) ). I've never fired it, and in fact it still has the string tag on the trigger...

For those who are intimately familiar with the Colt line of 1911's, I'm hankerin' (that's Texas talk) for a new 1911 Commander size pistol. I'm leaning heavily toward Colt (but maybe Springfield Champion; don't know for sure yet) so I have a quick question I hope you Colt pros can answer in...

I've got a 6" Python (stainless) that has a timing problem. I'd like to get some input from those who've "been there, done that" about my options. 1. Is this something a reasonably competent (mechanically gifted :) ) person could repair and adjust themselves with the right literature as a...
