      Springfield 1922 MII

      I just got word that I am going to be getting (a gift!) of two .22 rifles. One is a Springfield 1922 MII in excellent shape and the other is a somewhat beaten Stevens Model 56. I haven't taken possession of them yet, but am looking forward to fondling them. One thing, no magazines for either...

      MD HQL login.

      Grrrrr. I can't remember my password for MSP login. Reset page doesn't work because they ask for my old password so I can reset my password. I just taught a class and my students applied for their HQLs. They have successfully completed their applications. Do I have to do anything else? I seem to...

      12 ga. Mossberg 500AB problem

      I'm trying to disassemble a Mossberg 500Ab. Everything has gone smoothly except the slide mechanism will not come out. When it gets near the end, it feels like it is pushing up against something. I've looked and it's not hitting anything but it has a spongy feel like there's something there. I...

      Shooting an AK at Myrtle Grove

      I want to take my AK to MG to shoot it. It was given to me by my brother, who is now deceased (NOT willed to me, just given to me years ago for my birthday). I'm worried because I have no documentation whatsoever for it. Am I risking it if the MSP or other LEO stops by while I'm shooting?

      S&W 622 Target Pistol

      I'm looking for a source for a rear sight (adjustable) for a Model 622. Yes I've tried Numrich. They are sold out. Ebay doesn't seem to understand the phrase rear sight when it comes to S&W model 622. Any ideas?

      Davis .22lr Derringer Model D-22

      A guy gave me this derringer for free. It's in pieces in a baggie. I think, from what I can gather on Youtube, that there may also be some extra parts in the bag. I'm looking for a schematic or a video that will help me put this thing back together. I've got some GS skills and proper tools...

      Classic Firearms now shipping via USPS?

      My brother just got his C&R and ordered a Polish Radom P64 from Classic Firearms and he told me tonight that Classic is shipping it Via USPS and that it will take 8 to 10 days. What happened to the requirement for 2nd day shipping, and when did the USPS start shipping hand guns?

      H&R Sportsman 9 shot .22 Revolver

      I've recently come across a H&R 9 shot .22 revolver that I can pick up for a decent price. It shoots well in S/A but mis-fires frequently in D/A. I've looked at it and I see "cuts" in the cylinder chambers that make it look like this revolver was dry-fired many, many times. Could this be the cause?

      Hawes .22 Revolver

      I have an old Hawes "western sixshooter" and it has developed an annoying glitch. Sometimes when I try to thumb the hammer back, it hangs up about 1/4 inch back. I'm assuming it is something to do with the cylinder advance, because if I turn the cylinder back and forth a little manually, it...
