A friend needs to have a couple of Ljungman AG 42 magazines permanently modified from 10 to 5 round capacity. I won’t have the chance to look at them any time soon, but was hoping to hear if anyone has had experience doing that, or knows of a gunsmith who is familiar with them. Apparently...

We don’t need to start another NRA bashing thread, but we can do something positive to encourage change. While I used to ignore the board of directors ballot, I now believe it’s important for all of us to focus our votes on one or a few people who want to work for change. This year Frank Tait...

I’m trying to find some information on a Polish VIS Model 35, often called a Radom. Here are some pictures. VIS Model 35 I gather most of the records were destroyed at the end of the war. It appears to be fairly early because the finish isn’t bad, the take-down lever is still present and the...

If you are interested in gunsmithing, history and a bit of humor you might enjoy Mark Novak's Anvil series. Here's a link to one of the videos https://youtu.be/G8gjYQrIl_w?t=2 With the way YouTube is treating firearm related posts, he needs direct support. I am paying a bit every month to...

I've been reading 'WWII Behind Closed Doors', a book which will goes into detail about the cynical decisions made by the Allied leaders and Hitler before and during WWII. Lots of fascinating information, but a gun related point is provided by a Russian general about the executions of Polish...

There is a recent thread about how to deal with guns while trying to sell your house. Lots of interesting thoughts about moving gun and reloading supplies out of the house, locking them in a closet or generally hiding the fact that you have firearms. I can understand the issue of upsetting...

Called Citi to close my account, and told them why. The more of us who do that and tell them that we will not be their customers in the future, the better. Taking new people to the range and educating others who don't understand is more important, but even a small financial bite is useful.

I have several Ruger rimfires, and the .22 drought has been frustrating. When one of the online retailers had Aguila Super Extra Lead Standard Velocity for .07 per round shipped if I bought a case, I went for it. Aguila seems to have a decent reputation around the net. As far as accuracy...

Sarco caught me at a weak moment so I bought one of their Bren L4 kits Bren L4A3 They come without barrels but we are told barrels will be available soon at a discount for people who bought the kits. The receiver is torch cut and I get to practice my cosmoline removal skills - Bren Kit Pics...

I have a Webley Mk VI top-break revolver, 1916 vintage, which was shaved to shoot .45 ACP. When I got it the hand was chipped and it wouldn't reliably rotate the cylinder into a tight lockup. Couldn't find a replacement hand, but a local gunsmith tig welded the end, fought with it and finally...

I have been looking for a Webley Mk VI for awhile and finally found one on Gunbroker that fit my price range, $425 plus shipping. The dealer said it was from an estate sale, had been shaved for .45, locked up tight, good bore, but he hadn't fired it. It's parkerized, with some dings, but...

I recently purchased an Ishapore Enfield in 7.62x51 that appears to be in very good condition. A friend of mine who has good familiarity with earlier SMLE models is concerned because the retaining spring doesn't hold the bolt head down firmly. When you pull back the bolt you can rotate the bolt...

I have a 1940s Winchester 97 takedown, 12 gauge with a 30" full choke barrel. It's in decent shape, but I have decided to replace the existing barrel with a 20" cylinder bore from Numrich. I ordered the parts diagram with the barrel, but before I tackle the project I was wondering if there are...

I have a Romanian G kit-built AK. Northridge is selling Chinese AK barrels for $45. Would they work as a replacement in the Romanian or are they different? The supply seems to have dried up. Thanks - Mike
