      Slide stuck on M&P 9

      RESOLVED: American Eagle Federal factory 9mm 115gr SQUIB LOT NOV 43X727 Took my M&P 9 to the range, fired 3 boxes of American Eagle 115gr through it. Near the end of my session, the slide only opens 1/2 way. I had to push the spent casing out of the way and it cleared the chamber. Couldn't...

      Handgun transfer at Pikesville MSP HQ?

      I've never done a "Secondary Sale" at Pikesville, the MSP HQ. I've gone to a barracks before, just never Pikesville. Has anyone gone there to do the paperwork and is it as easy as a Barracks? Just want to make sure before I stop by tomorrow with my buyer. PS. Yes, I know the rules, leave...

      Man shoots bear in Nat'l Park with .45

      Man uses .45 against Grizzly in Denali, Alaska, claiming self-defense. Carry is permitted in Nat'l Parks, discharging firearms is prohibited. I wonder what is going to come of this. I plan on hiking some Nat'l Parks that have bears this summer, and was planning on carrying (legally with UT...

      Sig P226 spring swap instructions?

      I am looking at replacing all the springs in my used P226 and have searched, but can't find any instructions on how to completely disassemble (not just field strip) a P226 in order to replace the springs. Does anyone have any info? Found the spring kit here...

      200yd results after AR rebuild

      I finally got to go to the range after rebuilding my AR last month. I was totally amazed at the results! A 7" group at 200 yards with my EOTECH 1MOA Red Dot is totally surprising to see for me! This was a used gun and after disappointment at the range a rebuild was performed. This test was...

      Ruger LCP - broken takedown pin after firing

      I finished putting a box of ammo through my Ruger LCP at the range today, when I noticed the head on the takedown pin broke off. I put about 300 rounds of standard factory 95 gr. .380 ACP through it over the past 6 months. It looks like it's a cast part that just sheared right off. Guess it...

      Need a WWII 1911 primer

      My next C&R purchase will probably be a WWII dated 1911. If someone knows a good website or book that specifically discusses the WWII produced 1911s, please let me know. I want to be able to identify them at a gun show based on manufacturer and serial numbers. I clearly cannot do that right...

      CZ-82 refinish complete

      Slide was painted with Gun Kote 2 weeks ago. I finally got around to rebluing the small parts last night. I'm not happy with the blue. It's not dark enough for my tastes. With the camera flash, it's pretty light. The reassembly took about 4 hours. Not fun, but it functions correctly. Time...

      CZ82 frame discolored after baking

      I bead blasted it yesterday, prepped it this morning by rinsing with Mineral Spirits, then painted with Gun Kote. Finally, I baked it. Everything turned out fabulous, except for the part of the frame that's typically unpainted, where the barrel attaches. I masked it off, just like on my other...

      Headspacing Mosin Nagant

      Hi folks, I just got a field headspace gauge from Yankee Engineers, the coin-type, which was milled to the military field gauge size. It checks the maximum gap allowed between the bolt and the chamber. The bolt should not close completely to pass this on this gauge. Mine was fine, as I...

      Help: Revolver won't advance

      I have a S&W model 28. Every once in a while, when I've been shooting it, the cylinder won't advance when pulling the hammer back. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. I opened the cylinder and the extractor star ratchet appears to have burrs on each of the knobs. It may be...

      MN M44 Shellac Refinished - I'm happy!

      I decided to redo my M44's stock. I learned that in order to strip the shellac, you only need to apply Denatured Alcohol which is readily available at Walmart, Home Depot, etc. I decided that I wanted to get it looking original with a shellac finish, the way the Russians did. So, I went...
