    Gun Broker Problem?

    I just received an email purporting to be from Gun Broker. It was sent by GunBroker <[email protected]> to undisclosed recipients. nz? like in New Zealand? Out of an abundance of caution I immediately changed my password.

    Breaking in M&P-9 to Shoot Lead

    I'm trying to break in a new M&P-9 with enough jacketed bullets so that it will shoot quality hard cast (18 BH) lead bullets and come out with a clean, non-leaded bore. I've run about 300 jacketed rounds through it, stopping to swab the barrel out as often as every 3 rounds to avoid any...

    Model 14 front sight & paint

    I've acquired a blued Model 14 that has two issues remaining before it makes its first trip to the range. First is the red and white "paint" that a previous owner put into the various markings. Its a mixture of red and white; really ugly on a nice old late 1960's gun that still has its...

    Missouri Gun Leather WARNING

    Just advice to all to deal very carefully (if AT ALL) with Missouri Gun Leather. Home I've had a holster on order with them since January 24, 2012. It was pre-paid. I've gotten excuses at first. Now they aren't returning my phone calls. On one of the phone calls, I gave them an...

    Star locator pins for cylinder

    S&W dropped the two star locater pins. Big mistake in a gun that's going to be fired a lot. The new style star wobbles around quite a bit, compared to an old style. This has to effect the action. The lack of locator pins will affect reloads because the star can be clocked off enough to...

    Mod 27; To Refinish or Not

    A 4-screw blue Mod 27 followed me home. It did not come with factory grips, box or anything else, just the revolver. Mechanically it is very sound and shoots just fine. I bought it as a use gun, not a collectible. Back in the 70's it returned to Springfield for a factory bright reblue; it...

    Broken 28 Extractor Rod Removal

    In the disassembly process, the extractor rod of my late 1970's Mod. 28 broke, leaving about 1/2 of the threaded portion of the rod in the star. The rod was screwing out normally, but apparently seized and snapped with the top of the remaining piece about .030 below the body of the star. The...
