    Hi from Virginia

    Thanks! Got my fingers crossed that the Supreme court might overturn the "may issue" garbage and help sway states like california back towards the light

    Floating firing pin side-to-side play on model 10, enough to be concerned?

    Attached are some pictures of what I the back side of the bushing (I think). What do you think? It seems like a groove has been worn need the top, but Im not sure how normal or abnormal this is. The front side in the breechface looks fine, with no discernible peening.

    Floating firing pin side-to-side play on model 10, enough to be concerned?

    Help finding grips that actually fit?

    thank you all so much for the info and schooling me on grips for this older model 10! I'll try my luck at looking for vintage grips. I had no idea they were fitted by hand, but that would certainly explain why this newer grip is an imperfect fit.
