    So I've got this older Remington Model 11....

    I just had some Hoppes gun grease & used it. A very light coat of grease or oil on the Mag tube keeps the friction ring from seizing up or galling and causing cycling problems. That's been my experience at least.

    So I've got this older Remington Model 11....

    Also, you probably need to put a light coat of oil (or grease) on the magazine tube after cleaning. It makes the gun run smoother and the friction ring will still do it's job. My pre-model 11 shoots pretty much anything now even when set up for heavy loads, and it saves wear & tear on the gun...

    Help with rescued Colt 1903

    Just be aware that if you get another barrel, be sure to get the proper one for your particular "type" & serial number range-they are not all the same.

    WWII Police Walther PPK, Holster and a M1918 Trench Knife

    At first I thought that was kind of high for a PPK, then I looked closer and saw the Waffenamt markings on the frame. Nice snag!

  5. Browning Hi Power

    According to the book "German Pistols & holsters Vol. 2" by Whittington, in Jan. 1943 the Germans began a 5 digit serial number with the "a" suffix. Then in 44 a five digit "b" suffix series began. They made a total of about 101,000 of the "a" suffix guns, so yours was probably made mid to...

  6. Survival Expo/Gun Show this weekend-worth going?

    I understand there is a survival expo & gun show this weekend at the Scott Antique Market in Jonesboro. The gun show there is pretty good but I've never been to one of these. Is it worth going & checking out the guns there, or should I pass?

  7. First single action army style revolver.

    Based on my experience I tend to agree with Wild Bill. Caliber is really a matter of preference but if you want to relive the Old West get a 45 Long Colt & load it with a full jigger of black powder...then you will have a lot of respect for the old 45!

    What is this revolver, and some legal questions

    What you have is a copy of the confederate "Griswold & Gunnison" revolver made in Grisswoldville Ga. during the Civil War. High Standard commissioned copies of the gun many years ago. It is, in general, a .36 caliber brass-framed copy of the Colt 1851 Navy revolver. Might be interested if you...

  9. Colt Trooper Mark II

    You may also want to consider using Flitz metal polish-it works well on most finishes.

    S&W 39-2

    The Model 39 is one of the most comfortable 9mm' I have ever shot...the gun just feels "right" in the hand. They will feed pretty much any ammo you feed them, and the few I have owned have been 100% reliable. I have a 1968 Model 39 no- dash sitting in my night stand now- previously used by the...

  11. Does growing older lead to a greater fondness for Revolvers?

    And as Elmer Keith once said about the revolver over the auto...."if you have any of it, you have all of it!" ... no mags to lose, jam, or keep up with :-)

    S&W 38 spl

    It appears to be a standard Military & Police model. Yours would be considered the Model of 1905 4th change by the serial number. That particular serial # would put it somewhere between 1940-1945. It doesn't have a model number as S&W didn't start using model numbers until around 1957. A nice...

  13. Ruger SA Gunsmith Needed

    What seems to be wrong with the gun. And is it an old model (3 screw frame) or new model. If it is an old model, Ruger will replace the action parts for free & return the gun to you, at least that used to be their policy. You may also want to check with Deer Creek Gun Shop, they are just a...

  14. It's only a Colt 1903 Hammerless

    You should be able to remove a mag from the Colt 1903 with the hammeer cocked or down, and with the slide either in battery or retracted. I've had several and never had that kind of issue, but sometimes the mags can be a tight fit (especially if they are aftermarket) and may be hard to remove...

  15. Any body have idea what spent 223 brass is bringing now days

    Once fired brass was typically going for around 10 cents apiece before the panic but seems to be going for twice that now (when you can find it)- makes me glad I got a free five gallon bucket full with my last AR!

  16. Anyone ever bought from Rguns?

    I placed an order & received an order confirmation on Jan 9th. Haven't heard or seen anything yet but at least they haven't charged my card yet either.

  17. Light profile / pencil barreled AR-15?

    I've had 2 pencil-barrel 16" carbines(still have one). Never had a problem with them in the accuracy department and I use plain sights. Any differences from my 20" barreled guns (both heavy & lightweight) were negligible and probably due to the shorter sight raduis than the barrel. Why carry...
