    Unusual Canadian Hi Power?

    Disclaimer: I don't know much about Hi Powers. Yesterday I came across an interesting gun. On left side it was marked: Browning FN 9mm H.P. Inglis, Canada Serial number 1T461x The pistol was really beaten up in terms of finish, but the trigger was surprisingly nice. Half the take up of...

    Colt Officers Model 38

    "Heavy Barrel" S/N 6210xx Can't find it on proofhouse.com and would like to know date of manufacture. Went to a gunshow this morning and for the first time in years there were 3 used pistols that grabbed my interest. This one came home with me. Everything looks original, virtually no pitting...

    Bullets for .45 Auto Rim

    I'm looking for a 185 or 200 grain jacketed (or plated) bullet .451 diameter. Application is Model 1917 Colt revolver. So far, there are lots of choices except that I would prefer a cannelure. IMHO just makes sense to have one for a revolver cartridge so that I can do a roll crimp and avoid...

    Looking for bridge for old Lyman peep sight

    I've been cleaning up and familiarizing myself with my Dad's Mauser action 270. Receiver is Fabrique Nationale 1948, made in Belgium. Very few markings other than "B.G. Wadsworth" on the magazine plate, and I can't find any reference to him anywhere. The rifle has a Lyman "Alaskan" scope on a...

    W & C Scott & Son Shotgun

    I inherited a 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun from my father and know next to nothing about it. "W & C Scott & Son. Makers & Patentees 10 Gt. Castle Street Regent Circle London" on rib between barrels. "W & C Scott & Son Patented Block Safety Hammerless" on receiver, front left side. It...
