I just picked up a new US P210 and I've come across something which I don't believe I've ever seen before. When drawing the hammer back to the first click (almost like a half cock notch), the hammer falls with a trigger pull. Does anyone else's do this? Do the German and Swiss models do it as...

http://pac-nor.com/ Yesterday, I happened across Pac-Nor's page while looking for who might still provide 3 groove 6.5 barrels. They did bounce back and rebuild. They say they'll resume taking orders in June or July. And most importantly, they said no one was injured as a result of the fire.

This morning on the news I saw where the WV Governor issued an open invite for Virginia folks (counties) to switch states. I realize such an occurrence wouldn't be likely, but it's still an amusing proposal to me. What exactly would be the process for re-drawing state lines without both states...

I just picked up my Victory 22 Target Model and started scouring the innerwebs. I noticed an item from Tandemkross that allows the owner to remove the magazine safety bar and put a non-functioning blank bar in it's place that will still allow for assisted magazine ejection. Now, I know...

Not to hijack Bbarn's threat, his question did lead me to a question of my own. I recently picked up a CZ 527 in 7.62x39. I've only made it to the range with it once so far, so I can't really say how I feel about it yet. But anyway, I got to wondering if anyone here has seen, done, or looked...

The CMP group has a long winded discussion on the possibility of some 86,000 M1's being returned to the US through the CMP from the Philippines. I'm not sure of any validity to that, but it does cause me some wonderment. TFL-ers, have any of ya'll fellow Veteran types ever been stationed in...

Marlin 882 Question I was eyeballing my 882 and got to wondering if there would be any benefit to TiG-ing a stud to the receiver of an 882 .22WMR to attach the receiver to the stock? There's not a lot of room to do it, but I come to wonder if the receiver could be more firmly attached to the...

I am a wheelgun fan at heart- but I like my rifles too. Yesterday, I swapped a drilled and tapped Rem 1903A3, 8/43, frosted bbl, inexpensive sporter stock for a 2013 Stainless Black Hawk .357 with a 4 1/2" or so barrel. The Ruger has box, all paperwork, original stocks. There's no ghost ring...

Has anyone done anything to the M4 feed ramps on the receiver while putting together a .50 Beowulf AR? The bbl extension was dished out at the factory apparently, but I was wondering if there was any benefit to knocking any edges off of the receiver 'ramp' area? Thanks in advance- Jason

I was eyeballing the bbl extension and pondering metal compatibilities. Now, I'm not well versed in metallurgy by any means at all. That said- can anyone address a few questions on how dissimilar metals are addressed on barrel/barrel extension/receiver mating? If a SS extension is mated with...

Hello ya'll. The notion grabbed me to put together a 20" bbl 6.8. I ordered with WOA 20" bbl with mid length gas system. I haven't received all the parts on order yet, but I got the wonderments... My other 6.8, a 16" RRA A2 stocked, is mid length and short stroked consistently with all factory...

Does anyone know of a website or company which still deals with or collects Herters reloading presses, dies, and such? I've got a number of shell holders I'd like to trade for ones I'm likely to use. I know RCBS makes an adaptor, but I'd like to by-pass thier usage on my Super-81 if possible.

When I was changing the clip ejector spring in my M1, I found that the hammer spring housing was cracked longways between the clearance window and the open end. I can't see where anything contacts that area, nor is it put under stress when assembling/disassembling. Does any one know if that's...

Hello ya'll, it's me again. My Dad sent me home with an inherited Colt Single Action- dates to 1903. His father-in-law took it in on trade against a case of beer somewhere in Oklahoma prior to his enlistment shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack. The guy said he'd come back to the beer joint...

I picked up a copy of 13th Edition of Cartridges Of The World, and I stumbled across a wildcat called .22 PDK. It's a 6.8 Rem SPC necked down to .224. The book suggests worthwhile velocities above the .223 Remington. And, I just happen to have a Bushmaster Varminter with a 1:9 twist bbl...

Hey ya'll. I too am reburbing a 1917. Ended up with a Boyds stock, originals just aren't in my price range. Looks nice so far though. What I'm duped on is this- What is the correct sling for this thing? My bbl is dated 03/18 and the receiver dates to 04/18. There is no import stamp, and...

I have a couple of questions on the P17 that have been sloshing around my noggin and was wondering what some of ya'll might have to say. Did anyone else think something was fishy the first time you saw one of those recoil lugs? I mean, they're a bit on the small side compared to the 03's...

The other day I was surfing the innerwebs and came across some 230gr .357 wadcutter bullets at an outfit called Badman Bullets- http://www.badmanbullets.com/OnlineStore/38-230-wc-bowling-pin.html OK, now I'm always game for something a little on the different side and heavy bullets in...

The other day I was looking for an electrical adaptor I thought I once had and came across three boxes of plain white box, black stamped lettering, Remington, .38 New Colt Police ctg's. Top of box says, "50 Center Fire Cartridges, Caliber .38 Colt New Police, Remington Arms Company, INC...

Not to get everyone wrapped up in another .45 Long (or otherwise) discussion- but does anyone know why the various .44 cartridges of the time were not deemed worhty of US Military affections? Seems to me the .44-40 had a good thing going.
