A buddy has a rifle that he's referring to as a "Swedish Mauser." I've not seen it yet, but he wants to sell it. I'm not familiar with a "Swedish Mauser," is there such a critter? He never had the...

I checked with Freedom Arms yesterday and they are out of the 327 brass. I was all set to order some. Day late, dollar short.
garbear,
I've had a 327Mag SP101 for some time now. It is a blast to shoot and reasonably accurate. The only two down sides are the windage only rear sight and the absolutely horrible trigger. The...

It appears that the URL got abbreviated along the way somehow.
It shoots great for me in both my Blackhawk and Puma 92. Very serious thump upon arrival. Both are 45Colt.
Will the handles for a six cavity Lee mold work with a Lyman four cavity mold?

Nope, it is a low numbered receiver. In the 22XXX range. It has indeed been re-barreled with a Rock Island Armory barrel stamped 1-19. It has also had the stock refinished and some of the stamps on...

I scored a Springfield Armory 1903 at an auction Saturday. It is missing what ever goes into the bottom of the barrel band and the front sling swivel. The sight is a little dinged as well. BUT, the...

Well, guys, it was an interesting auction. A brief recap of the guns I mentioned and their sale price.
The John Wayne commemorative, nib, went for $1400. About retail, I think.
The Model 92,...

I need some advice on fair auction prices on a few Winchesters.
The first is a John Wayne Commemorative in 32-40. Looks nice, but can't say it's unfired. Might have the box with it, but not in...
At a recent gun show, I spotted a Kel Tec 9mm I had been unaware of. The PF9 is a very slim, DAO, 9mm. I usually carry it in a pocket holster, in a front pocket. It just disappears. If memory serves,...

I prefer to by 500, or 1000, piece lots. Shipping on smaller lots is prohibitive.

Well, I suppose when our governments get through combining Canada, the US and Mexico into the North American Union, and we're all spending Ameros, it shouldn't be a problem any more. Of course, they...
I recently purchased a New Model Blackhawk Bisley. It's a super gun and I am very happy with it.
However, I was wondering what the chances were that a random 45ACP cylinder, from another...

That's kind of how I feel about this gun. I'm just east of Wichita, in El Dorado.

My hope is that my daughter will preserve them for her kids, but failing that, I have a couple of nephews that I believe would appreciate my guns and gear.

Deputy Al, according to the web site I checked, by its serial number it was made from 1943 to 1948. That was the best it could narrow it down.
It has no sight mounting holes in the receiver...

I have a Model 94 that was made back in the mid 40s, according to serial numbers. It is an excellent shooter with j-bullets and shows promise with cast boolits. Metal/bluing are about 90+% and the...
Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. I guess I'll have to find an example, or two, of each and try them out. Holding the guns the other day, I never thought about the recoil driving the triger...
Last weekend, I was looking at Ruger single actions in 45LC at the gun show. The Super Blackhawks had a very short grip. I was only able to get about two and a half fingers around it. The Bisleys had...
