Another .32 worthy of consideration is the Browning model 1900, the grandfather of them all. What I especially like about it, are the sights which are better than any of those on all my older...

Some years ago I was given an unfinished post 64 Winchester 94 receiver that had walked out of the factory. I was told that it was a ductile iron casting. Here are some photos:313268313269313270

I have owned a Sigma (SW9VE) for about a dozen years now and have fired thousands of rounds through it almost all cast reloads. It has never failed me and shoots about as well as any Glock I ever...

I'll have to agree with you on this. Many of the JM Marlins are pretty rough, I have a 1946 made Model 36 carbine that shows signs of its hasty manufacture and much poorer fit and finish when...

Looks like a Chinese JW-8 military trainer. Back in the late 80s they were selling for for about $80 at gun shows. I bought one and still have it.

My favorite 22 revolver is my Smith & Wesson Model 34 Kitgun with a four inch barrel that I bought new on 1981. I have shot around 80,000 round through it and it only seems to shoot better with time....

I read years ago that Marlin went to the round bolt with the 336 most because it involved fewer machining operations and was more economical. The modern 1894 was created in the early 1970s and while...

I originally thought the same thing but in every dud .22 I have taken apart there are little bits of green crystals that are the priming compound. That is not nitrocellulose gunpowder but a powerful...

I believe Numrich still has some of the remaining .44-40 Marlin 1894 barrels. If you could find a .44 mag 1894 beater you might put one together.

If you can find a gunsmith to install it, here's a suggestion.

I case anyone is interested in nice old leverguns, take a look at the videos on this YouTube channel. Ok he has some Colt Lightnings too but I'm sure you won't mind those. After watching his videos...

The Hensley & Gibbs website has been down for about a week or so, with a notice that that URL name is available. In case anyone here hasn't seen it, that sight was a treasure trove of information...

I'm stuck at home and thought I could get to my outdoor range where I never come closer than 20 feet to anyone. However in my state all ranges are shutdown.

Good question, and I have wondered the same thing. A few years ago I was give an original Remington Beals .36 caliber revolver that is more of a wreck than a relic. I thought of rebuilding it to...

I have two sets of Hensely & Gibbs Molds that I recently acquired from the family of a deceased Bullseye shooter. Other than oiling I did nothing to clean them up.

The first set are two H&G four...

I feel kind of guilty because I have at least a couple of the "dream guns" named here and I got them cheap.

But one that I won't have to wish for was one that I got two years ago. A fellow...

The only parts that required fitting were the trigger and the side plate. The trigger needed filing in order to pivot forward and the side plate needed filing on three sides. Since the parts all came...

Some years ago, in the 1970s, a gunsmith friend of mine acquired a box of Colt Official Police barreled frames that included cylinders and cylinder yokes. They had belonged to a police department...

I remember reading years ago that Thompson Center molds were actually made by the Shiloh Rifle company back when they were in Long Island, NY and not Thompson Center. Has anyone else heard this? It...

I bought a Norinco .22 ATD from Sports Authority back in 1994 for $99. I still have it and still shoot it quite a bit. The only problem I ever had with it was when the part that prevent the feeding...

Way back in the early 90s I worked for a Colt distributor and was told by several knowledgeable people that Colt's magazines were manufactured by Metalform in Connecticut. This still might be the...

I'm more of a lurker here than a poster but I visit at least once a day and always enjoyed reading the posts of Char-gar an older gentleman from south Texas, especially his posts about handguns and...

I have owned a 1937 Brazilian gun for thirty years that is a bit of an of an oddity. Back in 1989 when they were offered for $150 dealer price, a friend who had an in with the old Navy Arms in...

I have been shooting a Luger quite regularly for close to thirty years and most of that with cast bullets. My gun in a 1936 dated S/42 (Mauser) with matching numbers. Unfortunately some one must have...

I have a Remington Model 51 that now has a broken breech block. When it worked it was a soft shooting gun with horrible sights and a worse trigger pull. That said it is a great gun that recoils like ...
