Cleaning out my holster drawer, I found this old holster I bought years ago. I am unsure of manufacture or what gun it fits. I do know a 6 1/2" N frame S & W is swallowed up in it. It is 12" long and 8" across the flap. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I was dining with some friends tonight and above the fireplace hung an octaganal barreled Marlin model 1893 in 30-30 caliber. Being a student of Winchester guns, I seldom deal with Marlins.

In another thread started by PAHOO, a question was asked what the differences were between a Winchester model 94 rifle and carbine. In the spirit of education, I will describe what the differences are. The 94 action stays the same and all action parts are interchangable. A carbine which most are...

I study firearm design for a hobby and am a devoted Winchester man. I dislike cast and MIM construction. That being said I have to admit that Ruger has a firm grasp on bulding reliable firearms from these processes. I own a few though I dont shoot them much and dont relly upon them. I have...

I am not a self loaded fan but am considering such. I DO NOT do plastic, period! What models of Sigs are built in the USA? Of these which are all metal? No use trying to sway my opinions on plastic. I know they work well, they just aint for me nor is foreign built guns. I support the home team.

Hello everyone. I was at the range today when a friend arrived with 2 Kimber government model 22 rifles that he had recently purchased. Both were purchased from different owners, yet on the end of each stock is a hand written white sticker. One is marked 9.50 the other 10.16. Does anyone know...

A friend just purchased online a Mossberg S26c. I can find very little imformation about this rifle. According to the seller this gun was built by Mossberg for the Speigals catalog company around 1939. Since Mossberg also produced a model 26c, I am assuming the S26c is simply a model 26c with...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any American company ever made 98 mausers. I know Fred Wells built custom, hand made, one at a time, machined 98 mausers, but his guns start at $10,000 and go up from there. I have a real problem using guns that shot and killed so many Allies. The rumor was...
