While Arbery might have been casing the house under construction... maybe even 'probably' was... the premises was not secured or posted. The limited video from inside does not show him searching for items to steal. At most, he might have been charged with misdemeanor trespass. So even with...

MecGar sells magazines under their own name and was the OEM contractor for many of S&W OEM magazines.

I bought a blue 3" M13 for my then fiancee. When we agreeably went our separate ways, she declined to sell it back to me. It was a fine shooter and balanced beautifully. About a year later, I consoled myself by buying a 3" M66, so all's well.

I'm assuming your M14 is in decent condition. I would advise you a inexpensive holster may be very costly in terms of finish wear. I won't own another unfinished inside (rough in) holsters. It used to be that swede lined holsters were thought to be the best... and they are still good. I...

Back in the days when officers could bring our own guns to the Springfield Service Center, I dropped off my M25-2 to have the patridge front sight changed to a ramp so I could shoot qualification with it which required holstering. When I picked the gun up with it's new ramp sight, the patridge...

I'm not in your area but what you are needing is well within the abilities of S&W armorers from the revolver era. It might be as simple as old dried up lube. Do check the strain screw in the front of the grip under the stocks for full tightness. Unless you have reason to think a monkey has...

UPDATE on 38 Special "Detonation" UPDATE: I used Google to research the 38 Special Bullseye powder detonation I mentioned above... Several researchers including then powder manufacturer, H.P.White labs at the behest of the NRA. Researchers were never able to duplicate it. It was found to...

If it's a converted BSR I'd want to know if it chambers 38 Special and if it will still chamber 38 S&W. Then again, I'd wonder if I wanted a converted BSR at all.

The checkered frame was only done on 357 Magnum or some flavor of 27. It might be that someone believed polishing the action parts would make it "slicker". I check the action carefully to see that lock up it on. I'd look at the edges and lettering for signs of buffing... I might not be...

Back before the dawn of time, there was a certain .38 wadcutter Bullseye powder load (low power target loading) that was suspected of detonation. To my knowledge it was never determined that it was true but experienced target shooters avoided that specific loading. This might have been that load.

I started in 1977. I was fortunate to be able to carry a double speedloader pouch on my right side... after I qualifed with them including dropping them in the sandy range. My FTO had had his drop boxes come open when his belt scraped on some obstruction... He and I remained on the scene to...

She might be subject to retaliation and might need to defend herself. Granted. Slimy troublemakers can do a lot of harm in a barn. My grandpa always help a break action shotgun handy. A 38 isn't a bad idea either. But serial trespassers, vandals, assailants should be documented every time...

It's pretty easy to use security questions and social media information to hack email accounts. Like Sarah Palin had happen. I don't use correct information for security answers. However, blackmailers will not be bought off... they'll be back with another scam. The best thing would be to...

My brother used PayPal a lot. He's a seller on ebay. He also does desktop printing. He put large sum of money from his bank account into PayPal to pay for some equipment for publishing. PP locked the account. PP deemed it suspicious. PP ignored anything he had to say. MANY MONTHS went by...

I not a person with the skills or equipment to change revolver barrels so I've not been shopping for items I don't need. I did find a supply of 38 S&W barrels (made for British and Commonwealth service in 5" lengths). I believe the internal dimension were the same for these as 38 S & W Special...

Chaz would never tell me the load. The bullet was a home cast 158 grain lead semi-wadcutter.

Would a couple of rounds of modern +P ruin your heirloom revolver? "Probably not." Especially as modern +P through the miracle of modern powder advances and/or the insistence of ammo companie's corporate lawyers. But why would you take the chance? It's a lose lose situation for you. If you...

I think a HB on an airweight rather defeats the purpose. For an ideal carry revolver... a 3" 13 or 65.

Although S & W seems to be reluctant to publish the information these days... back in the 1970s, S & W official statement was MODEL MARKED (as previous posters have already correctly described) STEEL FRAMED revolvers were rated for +P. Earlier, non-model marked revolvers were considered to "not...

My M36 is a 3", it carries just fine in a proper belt holster and please don't mess with your fine family heirloom revolver. Even if it's worn, it is worth much more in it's original configuration. You will thank us later. There are plenty of 3" chiefs both new and used. Changing and fitting...
