I just purchased a 1978 manufactured N Frame revolver that if it hasn't been factory test fired only, doesn't look like it had more than a couple of cylinders full shot through it. The action is a bit sticky. When I buy a used gun my usual procedure is to detail strip it to include the trigger...

Did the Model 57 .41 Magnum ever have a model name like for example, the Combat Magnum, Highway Patrolman and others or was it always simply known as just the Model 57 ?

My local indoor range does not allow lead bullets except for .22 rimfire. However coated or plated bullets are OK and of course as are jacketed bullets. I am a fairly experienced handloader but have never loaded coated or plated lead bullets before. I have some Acme 115 gr. coated .32-20...

My local indoor range no longer allows lead bullets other than rimfires. All centerfire ammo has to be jacketed, coated or plated. JHP's and JSP's are OK. I have a good supply of factory 148 grain full wadcutter target grade ammo for my Model 52-2, S&W pre-Model 14 and Colt Officers Model Match...

I am in need of a new winter coat. It does not need to be very heavy, temperatures rarely will be below about 40. I do not want one with any type of hood. It should be somewhat stylish, I don't want to look like Eb from Green Acres. I am looking for one that has exterior pockets deep enough to...

I was reading the thread here on the K-22 Box question: K22 Masterpiece box question and have a a question about a K-38 Masterpiece that I have long wondered about so I thought it best to start a new thread. My K-38 Masterpiece in the high K232,000 S/N range shipped on 5/31/55 to Evaluators...

I have a Lyman Dovetail Slot Blank that I want to fit properly in a female dovetail slot in a rifle barrel. Please see photo, it is in from the right side as far as I can push it with my fingers which is barely started into the slot. I want it to fit down lower into the bottom of the slot so...

I have a total of 500 pcs. of new, unprimed .38 Smith & Wesson (NOT .38 Special !) brass. The story when I bought this was that it was manufactured by Winchester but requested to be "sterile" regarding markings by the end user which was rumored to be India. There are no headstamps at all on the...

I have a Smith & Wesson brand cartridge belt and holster that I use for my "grab & go" Model 63 Kit Gun rig. I decided to have a look at the assorted .22 LR cartridges that are in the loops in case the dreaded verdigris had started to form. Sure enough, other than the 6 CCI Stingers with the...

I would like a leather pancake style holster with thumb snap for my Model 1006. Arizona Gun Leather makes a reasonably priced one with about a 4 week lead time. Does anyone have any experience with this company ?

What is the safest payment method to accept these days if I were to list a gun for sale on one of the online auction sites ? A US Postal Service Money Order ? I know the scammers are out there. Thanks

I was going to take advantage of the rule allowing payment of the 2019 Federal Income Tax due to be deferred until July 15th. I used TurboTax software and submitted my return several weeks ago, and set it up to pay the amount due on April 10th with an electronic debit from my checking account...

I just bought a nice floral carved Viking holster. Upon cleaning it most of the seam came completely apart, like the stitching had rotted away. Rather than try to find someone to re-stitch it, is there a good over the counter leather glue that I can use to run a bead down both sides of the welt...

I recently moved to a small mountain community. I enjoy feeding the Steller's jays, a western species of blue jay. They are smart little birds and will come up and sit on the deck railing in the morning and wait for me to throw a few roasted & unsalted peanuts out for them. My yard also is home...
