I just called Springfield Sporters to place an order for an Enfield. And the guy on the phone said they are no longer taking orders and will be closed as of Friday. Guess, I should've ordered from them last month.

I’m going to buy a 91/30 Nagant this week. I was wondering if I should shell out the extra cash for one with a hex receiver. What’s the benefit to have one with the hex receiver?

I own two S&W Model 27 revolvers. One 3 1/2 and one 4". I just bought the 4" model and have troubles with the cylinder sticking on one chamber. This 4" model 27 was built in 1980, so it has the recessed cylinder. When the cylinder is closed, everything works as it should. But when open the...

Does anyone know an online source for Smith & Wesson Magna grips?

I went to the sporting goods store on Saturday to have an ejector pin repaired on my 4" Model 27 when I saw something shiny in the used case. A 3 1/2" barreled model 27 in nickel and in excellent condition. It has the pinned and recessed barrel. Checkered top strap and barrel rib, red insert...

My dad, who knows nothing about firearms, traded some work for a 9mm. It’s made by the Maverick Arms company located in Ohio. I’ve never heard of this company, but the gun looks like the ones made by the Hi-Point Arms company in Ohio. It’s an 8-shot, striker-fired blow-back design. The finish...

I'm thinking about ordering a used handgun form Southern Ohio Gun. Does anybody have experience ordering firearms from them? The ad says the revolver is in very good condition. Are their rating accurate? I've ordered from some companies where very good condition mean it was dragged by a truck on...

I have an opportunity to purchase an unfired older S&W Model 15 with 51/2 barrel from a friend. He got if from his Dad who recently deceased. The gun has a modification that neither of us can figure out. In the frame right behind the trigger is a sliver of silver of metal. The metal sits in a...

I bought a Remington 0A-A3 over the weekend and need some info from you guys. It is nicely parkarized. The bolt handle and bolt is black, not sure if it blued or just black parkarizing. The bolt handle is marked OH 26 on top and SA underneath. The bolt has an R near the front. It says US...

Bought an old Colt 45 acp revolver at a shop the other day. It was in great shape and it felt right in my hand. And the price was only $199. Anyway, I took it home and after taking off the grip I noticed I purchased a Army Model 1917! Then I noticed the United States Property stamp under the...

I finally took my DSA-built STG58 to the range for the first time. I had it built with their standard muzzle brake instead of the stoli-copy brake at no extra charge. Armed with 100 rounds of Hirt 7.62, I trekked out to my club’s 100 yard range. I set the gas regulator to 7, loaded one round in...

I was looking at the Browning catalog yesterday and saw the Browning semi-auto .22 that was designed by Browning himself. Does anyone have any experience with this gun? What's a good price for one? Thanks.

Quick question. I have some of that linked .223 and tracer ammo tha't popping up. Do I unlink the ammo by pushing forward on the rim or backwards on the bullet? Either way seems to work. But which way is better?

Just wanted to share with everyone my pleasant experience with DSArms. I recently purchased their STG-58 custom fitted with their SA58 muzzle brake. When the packaged arrived at my dealer, I noticed the muzzle brake was scratched up pretty bad. My dealer tried using cold blue solutions to fix...

I’m left-handed and love Sigs. I was thinking about getting a SIG 2340 and have one question. Is it possible to activate the decocker with your left index finger? I held one at a shop over the weekend, but forgot to try the decocker. I have no problems activating the decocker on my 226, but the...
