I've got a buyer who lives on the East Coast. He is an FFL and wants to buy a pistol I am selling. Says I do not have to go through my local FFL to ship to him. Perfectly legal for anindividual to ship to a FFL. I think he's going to use UPS for shipping. Do I have to tell UPS the package...

A good friend of mine, who has been around firearms all of his life has a Remington model 12 made in 1928. It has a factory installed Marbels peep sight. A couple of years ago he decided to take it apart, clean it and reassemble. That's where things went south. He wasn't able to...

My 15-1 left the factory in November of 1961. Is there any way of knowing when the dash 2 engineering change took place in 1961 I'm trying to figure out if this revolver was produced in 1960 and sat in the vault until late 1961 or it was built and shipped in 1961 Just curiosity on my part...

I am considering the purchase of a K38 Target Masterpiece that has a serial number in the K140 range...can't remember the last 3 numbers. I know sharp shoulder magna grips were offered about that period of time but would this revolver have been shipped with them or would it have shipped with...

An Oregon circuit court judge has just issued a permanent injunction declaring Measure 114 unconstitutional by clear and convincing evidence. This ruling will be appealed by the Oregon Department of (Justice). An Oregon Court of Appeals Justice has stated that gun owners are racists anti-semites.

A good friend of mine has been offered these 2 handguns. I know about the S&W 380 but know nothing about the top break. These are the only 2 photos he has and has not been able to actually see them. He says there is no caliber marking and no manufacturer name. The grips are black plastic...

A few months back I posted about a triple lock, just acquired. It came from the factory nickeled but at some point in it's life it was re nickeled. At that time the hammer and trigger were also nickeled. It's nothing more than a shooter grade revolver but I would like to return the...

I have been offered a GH Perkins holster. It's for my Detective Special. Never heard of the company. Can anyone tell me something about Perkins? Are (were) they a quality leather company. Do their holsters exhibit good craftsmanship and attention to detail? Any information most...

A somewhat recently acquired triple lock. All I was looking for was a decent shooter that had "character" and boy this one has a lot of that. 6 1/2" barrel, very nice bore, factory nickel that has had a re nickel job at some point in it's lifetime, and a not a very good job at that. They...

I have 2 US Navy marked revolvers. V147731 and & V245591 V147731 has a ship date of October 1943 and V245591 has a ship date of March 1943 Given the fast and furious pace of war time Victory production at this time, does it seem reasonable that the latter serial numbered Victory would have...

Looking at a model 60 with a serial number that starts with .....AYV...., can't remember the rest of it. I'm thinking ship date either 1987 or 1988, what say you. Regards, Dick

Just picked up this revolver. I noticed the thumbpiece is loose. The screw is tight but the thumbpiece will rotate upward about 1/8" from it's normal position. The rotation is quite easily done, no effort at all. Never had this problem on any of my revolvers before. What is the fix? 2...

I've got this victory revolver that needs to have a butt swivel installed. I have the butt swivel but it needs a pin to hold it in place. Any idea what diameter/length pin I need and what to purchase to fabricate the pin. I'm assuming it will have to be made rather than purchased somewhere...

Recently acquired a K22, blue, 6" not model marked, no box or docs. It left the factory in October of 1957 Would like to find a box for it. Gold boxes were used from 1946 to 1965 and the blue 2 piece solid line boxes were used from 1957 to 1965. Since this revolver was shipped in late 1957...
