Heys, A friend of mine just inheritited a 1903 rifle. Unfortunately much of the history of the gun died with his grandfather. I have not seen the gun yet but he gave me the Sn and read some markings off to me. SN is 650XX. It has Ordnance Flaming Bomb on it and a RIA stamp which I assume is...

Hey guys, my girlfriend's father gave my an old Colt Pocket Positive in .32 Police. The serial number is 908xx. Any idea when this gun was made? It came in a Bucheimer model B835 holster. I would love some info on the holster as well. THanks Matt

I work at an indoor range/gunshop. One of our many sales reps brought a Mateba .44 mag Revovler by last week. This thing is a semi auto revovler. I dont know how else to describe it. Well he let us run some rounds through it. Oh boy this thing is awesome! It has the best SA trigger pull...

Hi guys I need a little help with a project Browning Hi Power I am working on. Its a Nickel Chrome model. I am replacing the factory sights with a Brazos fibre optic front and Heine Rear, installing a wide combat trigger and replacing the factory safety. I am almost done with all of this...

Ok I dont know about the rest of you guys but I can't see the Tritium Front site that came on my SA pistol. The dot is set way to far into the post. To replace it I have decided to go with a Brazos Custom Lighting Rod Fiber Optic Front site and a Heine Slant Pro rear. I think this sight combo...

Who's going(besides me)? The saturday night side match is going to be at my shooting range and my boss is building a prize gun.

I shot my first 3 gun match last weekend. Man was that some fun. I am a handgun guy so I had to borrow the shotgun and rifle. I used my SA Champion, Remington 1100, and .223 romanian Ak. The matches we have hear are pretty informal but the courses of fire are set up by some semi pro...

Anybody have one? I am waiting an interview for employment with the INS. The only approved sidearm for new Inspectors is the 96d. I dont I even ever seen one. I know it is basically a DAO .40 caliber version of 92 but thats about it. How is Recoil? Trigger pull? Accuracy? Thanks.

Hey Guys, I have been having problems with my 1911. I kept having failure to extracts. I was using UMC ammo.. The local smith suggested I switch ammo before he does work on it. Now 50 rounds of Speer Lawman, 50 rounds of Federal American Eagle and about 20 Hydra Shoks. No problems. I am...

Are they really the Cat's meow? I think I need to replace the Extractor on my 1911. 3 failures to extract in 100 rounds. So I figured I get the best extractor out there. But are the Wilson ones THAT much better? Thanks Matt

I was at the local range a few weeks ago and noticed a flyer for my Alma Mata's shooting club. What?! I thought surely its just a bunch of older students and alums. So I send an email and attend a meeting. To my surpise the University pays for range time, targets and some ammo for the whole...

As I haved matured in my firearm ownership, I find myself looking for guns with "Character" 1911's have and so do Browning high powers. Certain shotguns have it(870) and rifles(Garand) Heck I sold a Beretta Tomcat that did not have character to buy a used Mustang that drips with character. I...
