Did S&W make a model 41 without a safety? The one I saw had the indicator pin on the back of the slide and the owner claimed it was purchase around 1980. Chris

Hi folks, When was the model 41 first introduced? Thanks Chris

Hi Folks, I am looking for a good, economical bipod for my 15-22. This is my first rifle and therefore my first AR style rifle. I have a hi-power scope for it so next up is the bi-pod, then after that I am not sure what toy to bolt onto it. Chris

Hi guys, I have been fighting with my magazines trying to get reliable operation my my m52-2. I have one magazine that is reliable and 4 that were not so good. New magazines and old alike. I am wondering if anyone else has a problem with their 52 not feeding bullet #4 reliably. If so, let...

Hi guys, I started using Dillon case lube to help make the process go a bit more smoothly. It certainly reduces the effort required. I am wondering though, should I be wiping the lube off the bullets after reloading? Chris

Hi Group, I heard of a private rifle club in Elgin IL called the Elgin Rifle Club or similar. Are there any members here on the forums that can tell me a bit about that club? Chris

Hi all, I shoot a model 52 and for the first time this weekend shot in an outdoor match. I learned very quickly that my zero point is much lower (4-5 inches) at 50 yards that it is at 25 yards. With my 22 and 45, the zero point is the same at both distances. My current load is: 148 grain...

I have a model 52-2 which is giving me fits. Some of the problems are: won't eject a case ammo feeds too high, won't go to battery I am looking for an experienced gunsmith that can tune up the magazines and gun so that it is more reliable and perhaps even more accurate. Does anyone know of a...

Hi guys, I noticed a problem with the bolt pin on my M-41. This pin keeps wanting to back itself out. Is there something I should do to make it stay put? Or is this something I should just replace? Chris

Hi guys, During reloading you make mistakes and end up with bullets you don't trust (possible double charge or no charge), primed cases that are bad, and otherwise. I am curious as to how you guys get rid of bad ammo? I have a kinetic puller but am looking for a way to get rid of the ones I...

Getting back into reloading for my S&W model 52 I purchased bullets from a number of different vendors (Midway, Zero, and Barry's). Today I loaded up 30 of each for a side-by-side test. I don't have a ransom rest so I had to do with what I had, my two hands and holding the gun on top of my gun...

Hi all, I need new grips for my model 52. I noticed that there are not a lot of choices around anymore for the 52. I have found some grips made for the model 39 from Pachmayer and am wondering if those would fit the gun? Chris

How do I remove the rear sights on my model 41 and model 52? Thanks Chris

Hi all, I have a model 52 with a burris scope and a custom made scope mount which attached where the left grip mounts. The scope mount is okay, served me well, but it is time to get something better. As I am getting back into shooting after a 25 year absence, I would like to upgrade this gun...
