      Nagant Model 1895 Revolver...Opinions?

      Right now getting one for $100 will take doing. $150 maybe, $200 more likely. Even at $200 they are nice guns. There are many for sale that folks bought on a lark, when they were $100, that they'd be happy to sell for $150 or so.

      Is this why most Revolver Manufacturers recommend cleaning from the BREECH ?

      Nagant Model 1895 Revolver...Opinions?

      Thanks for the info ! Most likely the Russians just rounded them all up and put them through the same process, with no judgement calls as to whether any individual weapon required it or not. If I want an example with an original finish I'll have to look on GunBroker for a Husqvarna...

      Nagant Model 1895 Revolver...Opinions?

      All this Nagant talk made me pull mine out of the Safe to admire it. It's a 1944 Tula. Being so close to the end of the War, I like to fool myself into believing it's not re-arsenaled, that it was used little or not at all. I can see fine scratches from the Arsenal on the sides. I wonder...

      That SUX. SOG was the only place I could find one even last March (2013). Plenty on GB, though.

      S&W top break

      Some problems cannot be repaired by even the most skilled GunSmith, short of making or buying a replacement part. Which may not be practical or economical. Sounds like he did his honest best.

      S&W Top Break .32 Revolver - Age ? BP ?

      I saw this little gem at a local Gun Shop and $180 later I took it home. The Serial Number is 355xx , which I'm thinking is early. Anyone know the year ? I'm thinking the bore has good rifling, though some pitting, and would be safe to fire with light loads.

      That sucks. I hope he did not charge you for this non-repair.

      CZ82's in stock?

      Why do some 12-Round Mags have a THICK FLOOR PLATE and others a THIN FLOOR PLATE ? I do know the Magazine Shells are also different; one is slightly longer than the other, so the Plates and Magazine Shells are not interchangable. I believe the Springs and Followers are identical.

      Linberta shotgun

      I forgot to mention my 18.5 inch barrel "Dream" HD Linberta would also have a Pistol Grip, so as to cut the overall length over a foot.

      Linberta shotgun

      It would be fantastic if they made an 18-1/2" version of this for Home Defense. As a Semi-Auto, I'm not sure if the ATF would let it be imported, though.

      Curio and Relic FAQ!! Read me first!!!

      I received mine last month - forty days to the day the ATF charged my Credit Card. But I live in Mass, and apparently at the ATF there are different people assigned to each State. It's been three weeks since my Lincense arrived and I still have NOT received my "Welcome Pack" !

      CZ82's in stock?

      You're probably right. It's not like I want to save the steel casings Brown Bear uses. But I don't want my CZ-82 to throw them at a fellow shooter, either.
