I know this has probably been beat to death, but I have a chance at a p&r model 66 no dash in 4" with the stainless rear sight. It shows signs of use and is wearing Goodyears, but what are these early 66s going for? Was the stainless rear sight a first year only thing or did it carry acouple of...

Hi All, I'm a regular on the revolver forums, but don't have a whole lot of experience with S&W autos (I have a 39 and a 422). Last Friday I picked up a new 22A-1 and must say I'm very pleased with it. I had zero failures to chamber, fire, extract or eject with the first 100 rounds of CCI Blazer...

I've been beating around the idea of getting rid of my '04 Polaris 700 and updating to a new one. Well I guess cabin fever got the best of me so I loaded up the old girl yesterday and off to the dealer we went. After several hours of negotiating I had made my choice and they made me the right...

Hi All, Please forgive the question, but I'm a revolver guy and need some help on a SW380 I found in a shop today. What can you guys tell me about these, seems like a good little pistol and it does say S&W on it so it can't be all bad! They are asking 200.00 for it and it seems to be decent...

After much ranting and frustration, I think I've finally made friends with my new light tent. The pictures still aren't perfect, but probably the best I can come up with. I never realized the importance of the angles and light placement. Just be sure if you buy/build one you get one big enough...

Hi, I'm looking for a scope mount for a Savage model 340/Springfield model 840 that attaches to the side of the receiver with the 4 factory drilled holes. If you can help, please PM me through the forum or email me at [email protected] Thank you -

I've always enjoyed taking photos of my guns, but frankly, my pictures are lousy compared to most of you guys. The glare from the flash or the darkness of the pic if you don't use the flash just never looked right. I figured "buy a light tent and my pics will look just like Fyimo's and Doc44's"...

I've always thought the model 39 was one of the finest autoloaders made and always admired a nice one when found, but stayed away due the the price and the fact that Smith and Wessons have cylinders, right? A couple of friends and I went to a shop last night and this 39-2 (serial number dates to...

The wife and I are going to West Virginia and will be traveling through Maryland for a short period of time. Our PA CCW permit is good in West Virginia, but what do I do in Maryland? Can I legally have a gun in the vehicle? I'm sure it can't be loaded or be on my person, but can I have it...

A lifelong shooting friend of mine always referred to shooting 44s and 357s as shooting "thunder and lightning". I always thought that was a pretty neat reference to the two calibers. Well anyway, it was a hectic week and I thought a trip to camp to do some shooting would be an enjoyable way to...

You may remember my post a month or so ago about buying a new Kel-Tec P9 and really liking the gun and the shop I bought it from. Well, the gun developed a very small problem and the slide would not lock back reliably on an empty mag. It was obvious that the follower in the mag wasn't pushing...

Hi All, I know of a new in the box unfired model 340 in 38 Special +P, it is listed as an uncataloged version with adjustable sights. It is the black finished 2" model. Is anyone familiar with this? His price is 425.00 and I'll have 20.00 in the transfer. Price sounds good........? Thanks for...

Did anyone figure out how to make the title of the post change color and stay changed after you leave and come back?

I was finally able to find a nice model 66-3 2.5". The gentleman that I recently bought my nickel model 49 from told me he had this gun for sale as well, but it was spoken for. I told him that if for any reason the deal fell through, to please let me know. Well, luck was on my side and the sale...

Hi All, A week or so ago a member posted a link to the PA Gun Owner's Forum suggesting that someone should buy the model 49 that was advertised there, well today I did just that! The gun is a nickel flat latch with diamond grips that looked kinda dingy in the photos, but for 325.00 I still...

Stopped by a shop today and found several nice Smiths on consignment. A model 34, a 32, a Victory and a M&P in the gold box that looked unfired. All very, very nice. But the one that caught my eye was a 2" (not 2.5", I measured) model 15-3. The gun had been fired but would rate at least 95% and...

Hi All, My beloved 3.5" 27-2 has magnas numbered to the gun which is great, but it just didn't look right in the presentation case with the large cutout for the targets. I've always wanted a "nice" set of grips and after several emails with a very helpful Kurac, I had him install a set of...

Hi All, I have the oppurtunity to buy a new unfired Model 29-10 Bounty Hunter. It is the matte blue, full lug 3" model w/ box and docs. Anybody have one of these or know what they are going for? When were these made? And yes, it does have the dreaded lock. Thanks all,

Hi all, I've been very pleased with my Kel-Tec P3AT and it has been a constant companion. I was anxious to get a look at the new PF9 as it has been touted as the smallest, lightest 9mm available. On a trip today to visit my Mother in Law, I stopped at a favorite gun shop and they had them in...

Winchesterwife and I were at a small gun show today looking at the usuall gun show stuff, you know, overpriced ARs, overpriced Smiths, etc. I found myself standing beside a very nice white haired gentleman, and peeking out of a leather holster slung over his shoulder was a pair of diamond...
