      1911 Problem

      I have an issue with my Springfield 9mm Range Officer that I have not been able to see a solution to, or even a mention of anywhere on the web or youtube, etc. What happened is this: I had a fired case stuck in the chamber (it had happened once before.) The extractor hooked onto it and...

      1st Time 45 ACP Reloading Question

      I'm reloading 45 acp for the first time. Using Titegroup and 230 grn Berry's roundnose plated bullet. Hodgon's data (and Lee's too) gives a COL of 1.200. I seated a test bullet (in an unprimed and uncharged case) at 1.200 and the bullet seemed to be sitting quite deeply to visual...

      Easy (Relatively) First-Time .38 Special Handload

      Like a lot of people on this forum I was interested in handloading for some time but had no experience with it and nobody to assist me. Beyond that were all the considerations of cost, safety, time, etc. Then I read a great article in American Handgunner by Roy Huntington describing in detail...

      RIA Tactical 1911 Cautionary Tale

      Since once in awhile people post asking about which 1911 to purchase, and occasionally Rock Island Armory’s relatively low priced models come up in discussion, I thought I’d put out my own experience with one of these pistols in case it helps someone. I’m only a modestly experience shooter...

      Berthier 07/15

      I was watching this Berthier 07/15 on GB for awhile. Until a couple hours before the end of the auction the price was around $250 which seemed in a low reasonable range. I would have bid but for the big repaired crack on the for-end of the stock which I didn't like. Also, it seemed to be...

      Occupation Guns

      Does anybody have handle on what the premium should be on post-WWII "occupation" guns. By this I mean guns used by the police/military forces in Allied occupied nations after WWII ended. Personally, I find this period very interesting, but the prices are really high. Examples...

      M98 Straight Bolt Won't Close in K98s

      I bought a complete M98 straight bolt from Sarco advertized as fitting all 98 style Mausers, GEW, KAR, VZ24, ARG '09, etc. Bolt arrrive uncocked. I cocked it put it in central safe, tried it in one of my K98 actions and bolt wouldn't close. Binds up as you push the handle down about half way...

      Today's 100th Anniversary of Sarajevo

      100 years ago today Archduke Franz Ferdninand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip setting in motion the chain of events that led to WWI. It was probably the most significant single historical event of the last century, given the tremendous consequences of that war, which are...

      Restored Ishapore Grenade SMLE

      This is one of the former Indian grenade modified SMLEs that AIM was selling for $200 in January. They were pretty filthy and covered in an almost black coating which I understand was done for storage in the Indian climate. There are a couple before photos below. I restored the stock using...

      Israeli Mauser stock restoration

      I bought this Israeli Mauser a few months ago. Unfortunately, I did not take before pics (didn't think of posting) but the stock was almost completely a dark chocolate colored brown with no wood grain showing at all. I decided to try Machodoc's conservative restoration technique on it, and it...

      Marking on Israeli Hi-Power Slide

      I just picked this Browning Hi Power from Cole Distributing, former Israeli. It has what Cole's described as an "inscription" on the slide. Seems to me somebody's initials. It would be more interesting if it was Hebrew script but I don't believe it is. Seems someone inscribed initials in the...

      Justice Stevens' Sophistry

      Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens’ proposal in the Washington Post to amend the 2d Amendment was an incredible exercise in legal, historical and logical sophistry. Article...

      Syrian Ammo

      I bought a MAS 36 recently and took it to the range today. The rifle is in fine shape, stripped it, cleaned it, including bolt, etc. Ammo is hard to find an all I could get was Syrian ammo from Buymilsurp.com. At the range about 75% of the ammo failed to go bang. The primers were cleanly...

      Carcano bolt problem

      I just got a Carcano 38 in 7.35. It seemed to function properly when I dry fired it, but when I removed the bolt and attempted to disassemble it it would not come apart. The cap on the cocking handle would not turn with the little plunger depressed. First I thought maybe it was fouling...

      Help me Identify No. 5 Enfield

      I purchased a Jungle Carbine about 8 months ago near the start of my firearms collecting. It was hanging in a local gunsmith's shop and I bought it with only a little idea of its history, and mostly because it looked cool. The rifle is in very good shape, some dings, but the bolt looks new, as...

      AIM Surplus No. 1 Mk. 3 Grenade Launching Rifles

      A few weeks ago AIM Surplus offered Ishapore Enfield grenade launching rifles at $200 a pop. Not sure if any other forum members were able to grab one, but I did. I've attached some photos so you can judge whether to buy if they offer up another batch. Overall, the rifle is in pretty good...

      P-35 Radom

      I basically made the same post in Water Cooler, but thought that I probably should have down it here. Anyway, this is a field stripped P-35 Radom 3d type that I got on Gunbroker. Had issue with the grip screws--and go a lot of help on that, and I included a photo of the original clear plastic...

      Israeli Mob Hit Video

      Link is to article with surveillance video showing two mobsters opening full auto fire from M-16s at point blank range. Watch the intended target exit the vehicle shortly before they open up. He escapes with his life. This is an Arab city and likely Arab mobsters, but who knows...
