I have come into possession of a Mauser, Arisaka and an Enfield from WWII. But all three have been sporterized at some point. How difficult is it to undo this and return them to something resembling their original state?

Can anyone here identify this rifle? I believe it's a Steyr Mannlicher from around the WWI era. But it'd just a guess. It uses a bloc clip to load ammo from the top. If I recall correctly, the caliber was 8x50mmR. It is a straight pull bolt action, with double triggers. People I have asked...

When I was little, I had a double double barrel shotgun that your could fire rubber bands from. But, this is pretty darn cool! Ratata

Looks like having medication in your home is more likely to result in accidental death than a firearm, with both less than cars. Consumer Reports

Has anyone ever seen painted wooden grips on a handgun? My wife has a Beretta 420 (engraved 418) with ugly pink glittery grips. There are pics in the Pocket Pistol ID thread I started a while back. Anyway, in an effort to get her more interested in shooting and possible getting a CHL, I was...

So I have an opportunity to buy a Walther PPS for $500. It looks like it was never fired. It comes with its hard case, the medium and large magazines, small and large backstraps, manual, double mag holster, leather paddle holster, and 250 rds of 9mm. With the small strap, it felt pretty good...

I saw this at the Consumerist today: http://consumerist.com/5313716/woman-pulls-gun-and-threatens-walmart-customers-after-being-sold-the-wrong-ammunition#c Thanks for making us all look bad! And the comments are wonderful too. Here's my fav: "Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because...

Well I'm looking into getting a carry .45 Probably an IWB carry. I don't know about Smart Carry, since, uh, I've built quite a shed over my tool (if you know what I mean). Anyway, I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions. I'm also looking into a pocket gun, but I'm already pretty sold on...

Anyone have any good gun safe recommendations? After the break-in, we are moving to a different neighborhood and I want to make sure everything is protected as well as can be. I'm looking at probably 15 rifles and around 5 handguns (for now). The new place has a concrete slab foundation, so...

So, we have found more of my grandfather's guns. I have first choice, and one I seriously have my eye on is a Colt 1911. It's marked as U.S. Gov't Property and according to the serial number was produced in 1913. It's not at 100% by any means, but seems perfectly functional. So my question...

I am hoping the board can help me out with this. On Sunday, June 21st my house was broken into in Middletown, Ohio while we were out of town. My brother stopped by daily to check on our animals, and the robbery occurred sometime after his morning visit on Sunday. The officer commented that...

I have a Star Model 1906 6.35mm pistol. Is there any information on how to disassemble this? It's in desperate need of cleaning. Thanks in advance.

Hey all. I'm new here, and I'm hoping some folks may be able to help me. My grandfather recently died. The main provision in the will was that the grandsons split all the firearms amongst each other. So we did a lottery and made a day of it. It was kind of fun and kind of sad, naturally...
