Both CCI and Federal are selling ammunition direct with free shipping, if you spend so-much. I recently received a bunch of CCI .22 Vellocitor rounds:

I still have a box of their .22 Long Rifle rounds from those days when everything in their catalog was "the BEST you will ever find".

I learned from the .22 rimfire "pandemic" from 8 years, or so ago. After that famine ended I stocked up on whatever .22 rimfire ammunition that was available: Didn't bother with some of the Remington or Winchester stuff, that was being offered though. My hope now, is that whomever bought the...

Pretty much all I do, as far as bluing, involves the rust blue process: BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER

I usually carry a knife along with my concealed carry revolver, but it's really nothing fancy, or costly: The blade itself holds a very sharp edge, the lever action is very responsive and the blade swings out very quickly. The faux bone grips provide a good non-slippery purchase. There are...

I bought a box of parts from another gunsmith, some Smith & Wesson parts were in the box along with these three magazines. All have plastic followers, and only one of the three has that "E" roll-stamped into it. It appears that these magazines have a detent that gets pushed inward so that the...

Are Model 41 magazines more desireable when they have an easily removable base plate? What do these sell for, slightly used? TIA

I advertised four **NEW** 22A magazines in the "For Sale" forum. K22fan snatched these up and sent payment very quickly. Good guy to deal with, for sure. :D

For Sale: I have four "NEW" Model 22A magazines for sale at $12.00 each. Shipping will depend on how many magazines you want.

The snow isn't too bad, but the cold will make even an Eskimo hibernate during February. :eek:

No, that's not what he meant, but I know what you write about, when ironing the chamber mouth. He wrote that there were tight spots in the chambers, which made the chambers smaller, or tighter, so he "reamed" the chambers to open them up. I asked him which reamer he used, and his response was, a...

I'm glad you saw that post also. I just couldn't imagine that Smith & Wesson would turn a Model 41 loose to be marketed in that condition. From all the shooting I've been doing with this pistol lately, my face sorta hurts from smiling. :D I'm really liking the Model 41 I just acquired and I'll...

I picked up a Ruger KMK10 upper where the previous owner cut the barrel to 8-1/2 inches long. After it was laying around my shop for a few weeks a plan began to formulate for a project pistol using some of the many Ruger Mark pistol parts that I have in my inventory. The first things I did was...

I do like the M & P pistol, but currently own and "carry" a Glock Model 23. All of the local LEO guys that I deal with, in this area, are issued either Model 22's or 23's, so I stock many of the OEM, and quite a few aftermarket parts, for the Glocks. I think either the M & P or Glock, are a bit...

Recently, I finally worked out a deal to obtain a 1991 Model 41 with a 7-inch barrel. While I have worked on these pistols over an extended period of time, this is the first one that I've actually, ever owned. I have found these pistols to be some of the best firearms that have come out of...
