I've been offered a DA 4th Model with a 6 inch barrel, nickel and in very good condition. What would be a fair price to me and the person wanting to sell it? Sadly, I don't have pictures, but the nickel is extremely good, probably redone at some point. The lettering looks factory, but the...

Had a good FTF transaction over a revolver with jack the toad, then he sold me some stocks for a different revolver through the mail. Good guy!

I had mentioned a thread in which I had a rifle with an obsolete cartridge, and he offered to sell me some rare brass and dies for it. When I got the box, it was all there plus he compiled a bunch of reloading info and articles, as well as a handwritten note with suggestions of what has worked...

I had a minty 4 screw 27 with a 3.5 barrel and diamond magnas which I had to sell during a period of hardship. Now that times are better, I am trying to replace the ones I was forced to sell. So, I am looking for a 98% or better blued Model 27 4 screw with a 3.5 barrel and correct magna stocks...

I took my H&R .32 Self Loader out the other day and was having some issues with the magazine, then the slide locked back because the pin that hold the barrel in place was preventing the slide from going forward. I got a brass punch and tapped it back into place, but it did it again after...

So, my memory isn't what it used to be. There is a bolt action or straight pull rifle and if I remember right, if the bolt or something was assembled wrong, the rifle bolt could fail and come back into the face/eye of the unfortunate person who was shooting it. Help me out and tell me which...

If anyone of you with the book can spare a few moments, would you tell me the approximate dates of these four revolvers? I'm trying to update some records... Thank you. Model 36-1, s/n J108xxx Model 51, s/n H67xxx Model 34-1 s/n M805xxx Model 17-4 s/n 81K3xxx

I recently acquired a Third Model Perfected with the serial number 4655. Would this be from the first year of production for the Third Models? Looking at Paladin85020's excellent write up, it would appear that the Second Models ended in 4617, but I do not know how many of these they made a...

I have a police trade-in 5906. I bought it a while ago because I felt I needed to have a 3rd gen. The only other S&Ws pistols I have are a 39-2 and a 52-1. For various reasons, I haven't shot it much, maybe a couple hundred rounds. When I do shoot it I find that I don't shoot it well. It's...

A friend has bought some bullets and primers to reload 9mm. He is going to use my press, but has never reloaded before. I need a suggestion of powders that would work well in 124gr. 9mm and not risk a double charge. Something that fills the case at least 50% on a middle of the road charge...

There is a pretty good pawnshop in OKC that has a wide variety of stuff come through there. Sometimes it is overpriced, sometimes it is more than reasonable. I've bought a lot of stuff through them over the years. It's one of those places that make one happy to have a local shop like theirs...

Visiting Austin area for a few days, does anyone have any recommendations for a good gun store? Mostly looking for a decent selection of used stuff. I realize in these times, things are probably picked clean, but what would the best bets be? Also, any other good stores, antiques, cameras, food...

Here's one you may not see everyday. This is an old BSA International Mk I target rifle that I picked up a few years ago and rigged up as a benchrest gun. I never shot one of these in competition, I got into using an Anschutz, but I did always admire the relatively obscure Martini action and...

Please forgive my ignorance on this and help me out. When reassembling this, the hand isn't held in place so that if the barrel is pointed up, the cylinder will not rotate. If it is pointed down, the hand will grab and the cylinder will rotate. What did I leave out, or do wrong? I'm not...

Yeah, so I lost the spring and plunger on the bolt of a .32 Hand Ejector, an I frame. Numrich doesn't have any for sale, does anyone else have a source for one? Are the I frame spring and plungers the same as a J frame? I doubt it but am hoping they are. The worst thing is that I had it...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to import a few things and have run into a problem with arranging to clear customs; I'm hoping someone can give some advice. The stuff isn't for resale, it's for private ownership. Apparently I need a single-entry bond to ensure the duties/fees are paid because the...

Peter Jackson directed this documentary on the British soldier's experience in World War I, using restored original footage and recorded oral histories. It is not an account of the war from a strategic level - no overviews, reasons for war, or even specific battles - it tries to follow what a...

I purchased a CZ from XAVMECH off the classifieds, good communication, very professional and prompt with handling his end of the deal. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Bill!

I picked up a Model 34-1 the other day and would like to know when it was manufactured. S/N is M805xx. If someone would look that up for me, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thank you. It's a nice one, box and papers and accessories, I'll post pictures when I find a new host besides photobucket.

I have a Silencerco Spectre II, which has been a great suppressor. Ever since I got it, I've been kicking around the idea of buying another cheaper dedicated .22 suppressor so when friends and family go plink with me, we can escape using hearing protection. But that meant another suppressor...
