    Winchester Model 12

    I was gifted a very old and worn Winchester Model 12. It must have had some regular maintenance because the bore is spotless but the exterior shows lots of wear. I test fired it with a low brass circa late 1960's Remington bird shot as well as two (new) NSI low recoil 00 buck. The buckshot...

    AR15 Trigger guard

    I'm putting an AR15 kit together and all is good except for the roll pin that secures the trigger guard. The one in the kit measures .135, the holes in the receiver measure .123. I need to hit the local Ace hardware for the proper size. Can anyone please provide me with the proper diameter...

    Stealth Arms 80% 1911

    Anyone here have any experience with Stealth Arms, or something like them, regarding their 80% 1911 receivers and their jig for completing them? It is an aluminum receiver and the video they post shows using what amounts to a hand tool to cut the rails and the barrel seat. Thanks, G

    S&W 638 vs Ruger LCR

    I have decided that I want a shrouded hammer revolver for jacket pocket carry. I like the S&W 638 because it is single/double action and will shoot +P ammo. The Ruger LCR on the other hand is double action only but available in .357 and 9mm. I'd appreciate any opinions as to why one is...

    Smith & Wesson .357 Pre 27

    I have a .357 Smith & Wesson that I believe is a pre model 27. On the left side of the barrel is stamped "Smith & Wesson", on the right side "S&W 357 Magnum". The barrel measures 3.5" from the front of the cylinder to the tip of the barrel. SN# 79*** is stamped in the recessed groove that the...

    Insurance questions

    I recently applied for new homeowners insurance. One of the questions they asked was whether I has any fully automatic weapons, rapid fire weapons or assault style weapons. The stupidest question though was whether or not I had tile floors and if so do I have any extra tiles, where they are...

    Solvent trap oil filter adapter

    EBay has these solvent trap oil filter adapters listed. They are threaded to fit the muzzle of either an ar15 or ak47. This allows you to fasten an oil filter to be used a suppressor. Are these legal? Safe to use? Do they work? Presumably you would fire the first round through the end of...

    Colt Army Special

    I have come across an old Colt Army Special that is in fair to good condition but the barrel and cylinders have been sleeved to accept 22 cal. Is this something that would have been done at the factory? How does this affect the value? sn#336xxx. Any feedback would be appreciated, Thanks, G

    AK47 Barrel Brake

    Why is the standard Tapco barrel brake that I bought keyed so that is slants to the left or right instead of sitting "square" to the front sight? The original factory brake is also keyed out of square with the barrel. What is the purpose? Thanks in advance. G

    12 ga. loader

    I acquired a 12 ga. loader today. It seems as if everything works. I can't find a name on it anywhere but the man who owned it was a dentist who shot skeet pretty seriously so I think it is a pretty good quality loader. Anyone recognize it? Also shown is pic of another piece of equipment...

    I have this flintlock pistol marked G Goodwin & Co on the left side and London on the right side. Each side has the print surrounded with an oval. The barrels and body are brass or bronze, the lock and trigger are steel (iron?). I can't find out anything about this anywhere. Does anyone have...

    Ruger Service Six

    There is a small machine screw that I believe might be part of the pivot for the cylinder release on the left side of my Service Six. I found it backed out about 3/16". I have screwed it back down tight but I wonder if I should either remove it or at least back it out and apply some Locktite...
