I just inherited an old Remington 514 single shot .22 but the front sight is missing. Is there a formula for determining the correct height so that I can order a new front sight to put in the dovetail? I looked for a factory replacement on the Numrich site but of course it's sold out. :(...

I'm looking at getting one of these pistols in either .41, .44, or .45 and wanted some others opinions on overall strength. I had a Blackhawk in .357 and I currently have a Redhawk in .357, I think they're both great and would love to have a new version of either one but strength is my main...

Hi All, I just bought an old Walther PP in 7.65(.32acp) That I'm hoping someone can help me out with. It's a "Crown N" proof so we know it's prewar Right? It has a 90 degree safety so we know it's fairly early right? Also has loaded chamber indicator so it's not too early, right? What I...

Finally got my Kel-Tec P-32 yesterday and got to put a few rounds through it today. To say I'm surprised would be putting it mildly. This thing actually shoots. I was clanging steel at 25yards with regularity and the recoil is actually lighter than my Beretta .25acp. That locked breech...

Is there a reason nobody seems interested in the Winchesters? I'm not a shotgunner at all, so I'm not familiar with any technical reasons. I got an incredible deal on a Winchester 1200 that is practically new in the box and it seems like a high quality weapon. I was just wondering why it...

Just ordered up one of these little guys sight unseen. Sounds great, anybody have one yet. Pros, Cons? ------------------ TJS

Maybe a dumb question, but I never really considered it before. Is .38 Special Brass as strong as .357 Magnum Brass? Yes, I'm well aware that a .357 loaded up in a .38 case would give much greater pressure, but what about the same pressure? I believe max for a .357 load is around 35,000cup or...

A friend at work asked me about a shotgun today and I can't come up with anything so I thought I'd turn you guys loose on it. Seems this is a semi-auto Remington 410 from around the fifties or early sixties. The curious thing is that the barrel actually recoils back and forth like an...

This has probably been asked, but I couldn't find it. What revolver did Harrison Ford carry as Indiana Jones in the original movie? You know, the one he dispatched the swordsman with so wonderfuly ------------------ TJS

I took an extra week off after getting back from Disneyland with the kids, and I'm having a ball shooting every day. I took posession of my new love the day we returned, a 5 1/2" Ruger Redhawk in .357. That's right, a .357 Redhawk. I gotta tell ya, this thing is awesome, probably the most...

I'm going to be starting to reload .32acp in the next few weeks. Does anybody have any words of wisdom? Any quirks I need to know about? Best powders? I'll be loading for a brand new Walther PPK/s. Thanks for any info. ------------------ TJS

I've got a new PPK/s in .32 on order and have some leanings towards customizing it. Any Smiths with a good reputation that specialize in the PPK/s? ------------------ TJS

OK, How many of you guys were lucky enough to spend some time today shooting with your kids? Mine are 4 & 7 and we went to a spot in the woods for some plinking. Believe it or not, my four year old boy actually lit off my .357 Blackhawk. Yeah, I helped a little but he did most of the holding...

I got the idea for this from Willy's "rating Used Guns" thread. Is there a proper level below somebody's asking price to offer on a firearm? I'm constantly seeing firearms that are way overpriced, and to avoid ticking off the seller I just keep on moving. Should I be making an offer as much...

I recently bought a "three screw" Ruger Single Six with only the .22lr cylinder and I want to buy a .22wmr cylinder for it. The problem is, how do you tell a "New Model" cylinder from an "Old Model"? Is there any difference at all? If anyone can help, I know you guys will come through. thanks.

I just got a Contender barrel in .30 Herrett, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it in the field. I just posted on the Reloading forum about loads, I'm posting here to find out how it performs on game. What can be taken with it? is it better than my .44 barrel? Thanks for...

I just got a good deal on a Contender barrel in .30 Herrett and it's my first "Wildcat". I understand that the brass is formed from 30-30 brass in a forming die, but I'm not real sure how this works. Does the formed brass have to be annealed or anything? Do I have to fire the rounds at low...
