    Help Identify this old Colt Revolver

    I recently inherited this gun, which is in pretty bad shape and falling apart, that I am trying to identify. I’m fairly certain it’s a US Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion. However, my research tells me that model was produced between 1860 - 1873, and this one has “1875” stamped in at least four...

    Burris Veracity 2-10x42 vs. Primary Arms GLX 2.5-10x44

    I’m looking for a scope for my AR-10 (.308 Win) which will be a dedicated short to mid-range hunting rig, deer mostly and possibly coyote. I’ve already settled on this magnification range, and am looking hard at these two scopes. I’m looking at the E1 reticle on the Burris and the ACSS-Raptor...

    10mm Ammo for Deer

    I’m planning to hunt deer this season with my G20. Of the following 3 factory ammo loads, what would be the best choice for this task? I already have all three of these in my possession. I’ll probably limit my range to 30-40 yards. Hornady Custom 180gr XTP Doubletap 200gr Hard Cast Buffalo...

    Thicker/Wider Sig P365 Grip Module

    I know there are a lot of aftermarket P365 grip modules, but I haven't seen one that increases the size of the grip any, either in thickness and/or width. If anybody knows of or has experience with one, please let me know. Thanks.

    Ruger LCP II - Bent Recoil Springs

    I have a brand new Ruger LCP II, and noticed when I disassembled after my first range trip of about 100 rounds that both the inner and outer recoil springs had a slight bend to them, located about 1/3 of the way from the front end. I chalked it up to a spring issue (bad heat treat or something)...

    Dewey Coated Rod - 22C

    I recently purchased a Dewey nylon coated cleaning rod, the 22C size, which is advertised as being suitable for .22-.26 caliber bores. However, I am unable to get it to fit into any of my .22LR or .223 barrels, no matter how small a patch I use or how hard I try and push. It’s simply too tight...

    Winchester ‘94 - Snap Cap Jammed

    I just acquired this rifle, it’s a 1949 production year. I tried to test it with a few snap caps, and the very first one locked the action up. There’s still a snap cap in the magazine tube, and the one in the photo is wedged in the action to where I can’t move it at all. I know very little about...

    AR Pistol Concealed Carry - OAL Greater than 26”

    Is an AR pistol with an overall length greater than 26” and without any type of vertical forward grip, still considered a pistol in terms of concealed carry laws? I’m trying to determine if it’s legal to carry loaded and concealed in a vehicle in VA with a valid concealed carry permit.

    Holosun 503GU - Lense Angled Left to Right?

    On all my other micro red dots the objective lense is slightly angled back from top to bottom, but on this one it’s angled from left to right, and it’s way more severe. Is this normal?

    Walker’s Razor X Ear Pro

    I’m looking for opinions from anybody who has used the Walker’s Razor X or XV ear pro. I’d like an alternative to over the ear electronic muffs, without the price or battery issue of some of the in the ear options such as SportEAR. The Walker’s Razor X seem like they might be a decent option...

    Stuck Case in AR-9 Chamber

    There is a stuck partial 9mm case in the chamber of my AR-9 (see attached photo). I believe it must have been a weak case, and the extractor tore the case head off leaving part of the case body inside. I’ve tried every less aggressive thing I can think of to get it out with no luck. Since it’s a...

    1911 Issue with Grips and Ambi Safety

    I am trying to install new VZ grips on my SA Range Officer Elite which has an ambi safety. After I installed the grips and worked the safety up and down a few times, the safety got stuck in the up position. So, I removed the right grip and after wiggling the safety a bit it seemed to work again...

    1911 - Replacing Thin Grips with Standard Thickness - Questions

    I'd like to replace the G10 thin grips that came on my Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite, with similar ones, only of standard thickness. My first question is, do I need new bushings and/or grip screws as well, or will the ones that came with my pistol work with standard thickness grips? I...

    G20 Frame Wear Mark from Aftermarket Guide Rod/Spring

    I noticed this wear mark (circular shaped mark in photos) on the inside of the frame on my new G20 Gen4, using a Lone Wolf stainless steel guide rod and 22lb ISMI spring. This is after only 100 rounds. None of my other 10 or so Glocks have wear marks like this, including the two that have...

    Suppressed G17 - Recoil Spring Weight

    When I shoot my G17 with an AAC Illusion, I get an occasional particle/grit/sand blast blowback to the face, and the gun gets extremely dirty. Is this due to the barrel unlocking a little too early? Would a stronger recoil spring, like say 20 lbs, help mitigate either of these issues?

    Silencerco Omega Direct Thread Issue

    I'm using my Omega in direct thread mode on my 300 BLK SBR, and the issue I'm having is that often times when I go to remove the can from the rifle, rather than the entire can unscrewing from the barrel, the body of the can unscrews itself from the direct thread mount, and I then have to remove...

    Optic Mounting Problem - Cross Bolt Keeps Snapping

    I've been trying to mount a Sig Romeo 5 red dot to a standard flat top AR-15 upper, and three times now the cross bolt has snapped into two pieces. I know what you're thinking...I'm over torquing the bolt, however, I used a torque wrench set to 20 in-lbs for the first two bolts (per the...
