    I've been looking for a lever action chambered in .357 magnum to go with my .357 mag revolver but as they've increased in popularity so have their prices so when I guy I know told me he had a Turkish made, Hugtek-GForce, in his safe that he traded for but never fired I checked it out and we made...

    My Rifles

    One of the large caliber rifles in my safe, and my favorite one to shoot, is this Uberti 1885 Highwall chambered in 45-70. I had the red Uberti finish stripped off the furniture and refinished with a red walnut oil that really brought out the grain. The vernier rear sight is great if you're...

    Temptation

    A guy in Laramie has a Remington 760 chambered in 270 Winchester for sale. I don't "need" another large caliber rifle but the pump action 760s are sweet rifles and 270 Win is a great caliber. Decisions, decisions.......... :unsure:

    Airport Scanner Experience

    Flying back from the Netherlands last year I changed flights in Chicago and when I went through the Starship Enterprise body scanner airports are now using it picked up three metal signals, two from the buckles on my bibs, hey they're comfy to travel in, and one from my right ankle so security...

    Slide ID?

    I have a stripped slide for a 3rd Gen S&W DAO pistol that I'm trying to ID so that I can sell it. It came in a box of S&W parts that I traded some Colt 1917 service revolver parts for and my 4566 barrel and recoil spring assembly fit in it perfectly but it's longer, 7 1/8", than the 4566...

    Just picked up a well worn Winchester model 12 chambered in 20 gauge with a 23.5" barrel that, as far as I can determine, was made in 1923. It was filthy and had a bit of surface rust along with some nicks and dings as you would expect from a 100+ year old firearm but after a good cleaning and...

    New Tool

    I reload a fair amount and just ordered a Universal Rollsizer from Double Alpha Academy in order to have better and longer lasting brass. The nice thing about the Universal model is that along with the five handgun calibers I reload I can also use it for my 30-06 and 45-70 brass...

    Cane Gun

    Here's my Griffon Morris Lawing cane gun. It appears to be 36 caliber and to load it you unscrew the long metal tube part of the cane from the 1.5" barrel and chamber and put powder, patch, and bullet into it like a typical muzzle loader. You then pull the spring loaded hammer back and lock the...

    Pocket Pistol

    Since all the corporate owned grocery stores in Cheyenne have "No Firearms" policies, though this isn't posted at their entrances, I carry this 22lr Beretta 21A Bobcat when I go grocery shopping. Easy to carry in a pocket with a spare mag in another pocket and while 22lr isn't my first choice...

    Another Oldy

    My 32acp Savage 1907. The 1907 was the first double stack magazine pistol made in the US and this particular model was made from 1907 to 1914. It was advertised as an ideal "ladies" pistol because of its' 10 round capacity, light recoil, and small size, though it was very popular with men as a...

    Remington 1903A3

    My 1943 Remington 1903A3 is all original except for the front sight blade. The original one was bent so I replaced it with a USMC blade from S&S Firearms but kept the original blade and the sight cover. The USMC blade is taller which drops the zero point a bit but wider so it's easier for my...

    586-8 Front Sight Replacement

    I'm looking for a replacement factory height front sight for my 586-8 revolver. Why? My old eyes need something that's easier to pick up and focus on than the factory sight. I love the Trijicon Bright and Tough Night Sights on my 3rd Gen pistols and hoped to get a similar front sight for the...

    Model 10-10 Revolver

    I acquired this 38spl model 10-10 when my old man croaked and my brother and I went through his safe so it didn't cost me anything unless you count putting up with him for 17 years. :rolleyes: It's a late 80s ex PD issue but has a +P barrel which, though the 10-10 series came with heavy barrels...

    Stevens Model 35

    My 6" Stevens model 35 Offhand Target pistol. Break open, single shot, 22lr-22l-22s. Stevens made single shot pistols for quite a while and this particular model was produced between 1907 and 1916. The first firearm I ever shot, when I was about 5, was a 22 caliber single shot. Not this one but...

    S&W 586-8 Revolver

    I bought a 2016 4" 586-8 .357 magnum revolver last year from a guy in Laramie. It came with the box and all the factory goodies and paperwork. He's more of a collector than a shooter and said that he had two of them and had only put about 50 rounds through this one and was selling it to get a...

    Grandpa's K22

    My grandfather bought this K22 right after WWII, used it for several decades then passed it on to my father who also used it for several decades before giving it, along my grandfather's 30-30 Winchester lever action, to me. Somewhere in it's long life it acquired the trigger shoe and a set of...

    My Favorite 22lr Pistol

    I bought this 6" field model S&W 422 at a gun-shop in Glenwood Springs CO when they first came out in the 80s and have put 10s of 1000s of rounds through it since then. Its' light weight and under slide barrel design make it easy to carry and incredibly accurate so despite some wear marks it...

    Model 59

    Anybody else have a S&W model 59? I wanted a 9mm pistol to complete my range of handgun calibers and came across this 1971 model several years ago. Once I got the rear sight dial in it's been a great shooter. It came with Pachmayr wrap around grips but they were too chunky for me so I replaced...

    S&W 4006 - 4046 Question

    Hello folks. New here and have a question about the differences between the 40 S&W caliber 4006 and 4046 model pistols. I have a model 4006 which is a great shooter and I'm looking at a barrel for a 4046 on Ebay as a spare. I know that the 4046 is a single action only while my 4006 is...
