    Touching up light sratches on blued guns

    Can anyone recommend a good product for touching up light scratches on blued guns, I notice they sell cold bluing products in blue or black, which would match up best for a Ruger MKIII? Thanks for any help.

    Why all the talk of the Ruger MKII over MKIII

    Im picking up a MKIII this weekend and was wondering why so many people say get the MKII over the MKIII? I dont know how I feel about buying a used rimfire, its safe to assume most MKII's sitting in the case have been shot the heck out of and have had who knows how many thousand rounds sent down...

    Removed the Black Paint From My Henry

    The paint started chipping on the receiver of my Henry lever action so I decided to strip it off. I used Strypeeze and 0000 steel wool to take the paint off. I originally used mothers to polish it up after but decided I did not like the mirror shine so I used some more steel wool to give it a...

    Why are people so scared to take the side plate off their S&W?

    I cant understand why people are so scared of taking the side plate off of their S&W revolvers? It may be one of the simplest things I have ever done. I prob do it every 6 months to give it a light cleaning and a little gun oil. Heck a year or two ago I picked up a model 36 which was my first...

    Henry Customer Service

    About a month ago I bought a Henry .22 lever action. The foregrip started to get very loose so I sent Henry an email asking if I can update the plastic barrel band to metal to see if that would fix the problem. They not only sent me the metal barrel band free of charge, but a metal front site to...

    S&W Broken Hammer Block

    The hammer block on my smith and wesson 60 snaped. Every now and then I cock the hammer a few times to see if the hammer block is working properly and in place. Well when I checked it today I noticed it wasn't moving. So I took the side plate off to find the hammer block snapped. I gota admit...

    Barami Hip Grip

    I just picked up a set of barami hip grips for warm weather carry and I gotta say I cant believe how easy my model 60 conceals with them. Ive tried a couple different IWB holsters and both were too bulky to wear with just a tshirt, but with the hip grip the gun literally disappears with no...

    Gunbroker

    Hey there, I bought a NIB Henry .22 lever action and when I took a good look at it when I got home there looked to be dried caked on buildup in the action, I assume it was gun oil or grease that dried overtime. I picked away at it with a dental pick and used a mini vac attachment to get...
