I just had the craziest malfunction. I knew I'd had an out of battery firing with my problem child Ruger Charger but when I inspected the exploded shell there's no firing pin mark on it. When I got home I checked the barrel. Sure enough, there was a round stuck in the barrel. See pic. It seems...

So, I installed a Cajun Gun Works aftermarket hammer on my old BD. There was much cussing getting that thing reassembled with that hair-thin elevator spring. Dear God, that was obnoxious. Order a slave pin if you are going to do it yourself! Trust me! The trigger is immensely cleaner and...

So I saw a video of someone shooting a rifle with a suppressor and the suppressor failed. It was deader than Elvis. At that point what does the owner have to do legally (if anything)? Does that have to be reported somewhere?

WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU INSTALL A VOLQUARTSEN TRIGGER ON A PC-9 Well, I can scratch "firing something full-auto" off my bucket list. And I need a new pair of underwear. I put the new Volquartsen trigger in the PC-9 and it was very light. Unfortunately, when I took it to the range I was...

I installed an APEX spring and firing pin combo in my old trusty Smith and Wesson 637 last week. It wasn't difficult even though it was only the second time I've done surgery on a S&W. I got the parts for ~$25 through Dillon Precision. Today I took it to the range and put a box + some loose...

I saw somewhere that someone is going to start making more M-1 carbine pistols. An updated 'enforcer' pistol might be fun especially with an arm brace but then it occurred to me, why not a Mini-14 pistol? A Micro-14? Nano-14? If AR pistols are popular then why not?

I never win anything. Well, not until now. I entered a raffle put on by Sterling Arsenal in northern Virginia for a Colt/Walther/Umarex .22 caliber 1911 with a suppressor figuring I'd never actually win it. I won. :eek: I was so excited I ran downstairs and scared my wife out of three years'...

Pics below. I wanted a collapsible stock for my li'l 10/22 so I nosed around and came up with this one. I'm happy with it and have some comments. 1)It's light. The original stock seemed bulkier than it needed to be. This one is trim. 2)It comes in everyone's favorite three tactical flavors...

I wanted a stock for a Ruger Mini-14 with an adjustable buttstock so I looked around and bought an ATI stock. Overall I'm happy with it so far. I do have some comments which a potential buyer might find interesting. 1)They come in side-folding and non-folding. I didn't care about folding it...

Those of us who own a Ruger Mini-14 know that factory magazines work really well but they also cost a bunch. So, we may be tempted to wander afield to find less costly magazines that still function. I decided to pick up a few brands and post reviews as I get to them. TAPCO: You can see from...

I ran across a Zastava M88 today, a compact 9mm based on the Tokarev. Anybody have any experience with one? It felt oddly comfortable to me but then again my first gun was a Makarov. Good? Bad? Ugly? Okay, ugly is a given but what I really want to know is if it works. Cheers.

Anyone know if you can use a magazine from a Taurus Millenium Pro in an older Millenium (PT-111 in this case)? I know the newer version has the little finger doodad on the baseplate but does that mean it can't be used in an older model? Thanks in advance, Apple

I was at the gym last night. Since it was Monday there were hordes of people. Some jerk left a bunch of weights on a bench press so I cleared it, added my own weights and did a warm-up set. When I turned around for literally two seconds to grab some more weights some jerk jumps on my bench...

I took my little snubbie to the range today to try out some ammo. I bought 500 rounds of Selleir and Bellot 158 grain LRN ammo. After 50 rounds the 2" revolver started refusing to revolve. When I checked it turns out that the bullets were sliding forwards in the cases and knocking up against the...

Any reviews for Heritage centefire revolvers out there? I'm no talking about the .22's so don't bother responding with irrelevant stuff about those, just the larger-caliber guns.

So, there I was looking through some catalogues and I wondered: A LOT of the new models of handguns have picatinny rails on the underside of the frame. Why not add a forward grip that would attach to the rail? I reckon you'd also have to add a tab to the front to deflect muzzle blast from your...

I finally found a reason to use one of those old flap holsters that came with my commie guns... there's a hurricane going on outside. I doubt it would work for long but it would at least keep some of the rain off the gun for a short period and if I went submarining accidentaly it would keep me...

I have seen and used plenty of ammo for semi-auto calibers with mild steel cases (commie guns) but have never seen any for revolvers. Any reason why not?

Here is the Taurus model 94 http://thefiringline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19652&d=1154349373 Mine has a 4" barrel. Compare the size to other Tauri in pic. The model 66 is stainless steel and also has a 4" bbl. The others are a model 85 with a 2" bbl. and a PT-22 which is also a...

I bought a blued Taurus Model 94 .22 LR/L/Short 4" barrel last week at the Richmond Va. gun show for $229. I had been looking for a .22 revolver with adjustable sights as a range gun/plinker. Pickings were scarce for that category and the price was good so I decided to get one. There were two on...
