I read three different stories about this and saw two videos. I'm not being political, this is a thing that happened and it is a news item. https://6abc.com/police-most-military-items-found-in-montco-home-were-collectible-in-nature/5519469/ I can sum up what I learned: 1) family members...

Never mind

Bought a new one last week. Took me about five minutes of looking at it to decide it was coming home with me. Three mags, too: one with flush floorplate and two with finger extensions. Single action, double action, manual safety, de-cocker model (I don't get much choice here). Had the chance to...

I'm refering to the Winchester (wider 'wings') vs Springfield (narrower 'wings') front sight. Seems to me this is more than a bit subjective from shooter to shooter; I have a '44 Springfield, all Springfield parts but not all '44 production, and for me, I do think I wish the front sight 'wings'...

Missed out on a nice SA-GAW stock for my 1944 M1 rifle the other day. I have a really nice USGI stock on it, and I'm fond of it since I resurrected it from a piece of black grungy firewood into a pretty piece of furniture, but the cartouches were gone decades ago. This one I didn't get has nice...

My 'M1A1' carbine- which I bought with a bill of sale as an M1A1 for not very dear money- was previously owned by an acquaintance of mine. I didn't know it at the time of purchase, it was a consignment sale. He took excellent care of it and I purchased several other things from him directly...

Give me a little critique of the good and bad about the '74 production Hi Powers. About all I know is I like Hi Powers and this one is pricey

Just what makes a Vaquero a Vaquero instead of an SAA? Or is it all in the name? I'm hoping somebody with both can compare and contrast them for me.

I have a 1943 Remington that I made into an A4. Don't start, it was already drilled and tapped before I got it I use an unissued C stock on the rifle. The steel insert for the rear bolt that holds the action to the trigger guard is my concern, the insert resembles a roll pin in a way, and the...

Ammo I'm unfamiliar with I saw .30 carbine tracer which isn't really strange but I also saw right next to it a box of .45 ACP tracer I'm assuming that this was GI tommygun/greasegun ammo Anybody have any? I'm curious about where it was made/when/ etc. Seller wouldn't let me fondle the carton

As you probably read previously, I built an 03A4 from an 03A3 barreled receiver that had been drilled and tapped already. I chased down all the rest of the parts this year and the rifle has been together about a month. It's a 1943 Remington action with a relieved Remington bolt. Everything is...

I took my M1 rifle to the range. It shot well. But I also fired the following: Type 99 Arisaka Type 38 Arisaka Lee-Enfield Jungle carbine 1897 Krag 30-40 Jungle carbine wasn't terrible recoil but it was unpleasant to fire in general. For all that we were grouping it the size of a softball at...

Hi I have an Auto-Ordnance 1911A1. It's not as nice as my two Colts, but I still like the pistol One thing that's always bugged me is that it will function-check just fine with 7 snap caps, no feed problems. But if I put hardball in it and actually shoot, it jams. I've tried several different...

Believe it or not, that's an original unissued C stock, not a repro. Thanks Dad :)

The sharp-eyed may also note that it was recently 'laundry time', too Every couple months, clean or not, I take them out and run a clean patch down the barrels, inspect the firearms, then re-lube and store. I bought a crummy carpet section from Building 19 for 20 bucks, and I can put it on the...

I was at my Dad's today, and I was looking at one of his little reference books. He got it for Christmas. Looks good, it's a Jane's publication- Firearms identification. It's the biggest bunch of hooey I've seen on firearms yet. I looked at it for five minutes. The "high spots" of my persusal...

It has crossed my mind to do an 03A3 or even A4 project from a receiver up. I am not thinking of doing a strictly WWII correct replica, with all the proper drawing numbers etc and just correct-to-manufacturer parts. I would use USGI parts in almost every instance. I also wouldn't worry too much...

I wonder if this will be any fun Tell me what the firearm pictured here is doing wrong. Feel free to add your own pics and play too

Co-worker asked me what would happen if he fired his shotgun underwater. I asked "what do you mean"? And he replied "it makes the end of the barrel split, right"? I said "what are you talking about. Did you plug the end of the barrel or something?". He related a story to me. And please note...

Do you call the frame on a pistol a 'lower' and a slide the 'upper'? Tell me true now, because I am seeing this trend start up :D
