      Price check on 1902 Colt SAA.

      There's a lettered 1902 Colt SAA (.45 Colt) that I'm considering jumping on. Would $915.00 plus shipping and FFL fees be a fair price? Apparently the cylinder is a first generation replacement. The backstrap, frame, and trigger guard serial numbers match. https://i.imgur.com/95wxIFM.jpg...

      Removing frozen firing pin cover - lost cause? [Iver Johnson revolver]

      I rediscovered my ancestor's Iver Johnson revolver, and am trying to restore it to operational condition. I probably won't fire it -- just considering it a project. I'm trying to remove the firing pin cover pictured below, to replace the firing pin and/or firing pin spring. Here's a picture...

      Price check - Mint Chinese SKS

      What's the valuation for the SKS pictured in the link below? All-matching, discrete import mark, and the serial number is in the 2.3 million range. Any chance of the valuation increasing, or have SKS prices hit their ceiling? http://imgur.com/a/Z4lXk

      Whitney Wolverine - current market price?

      I saw a Whitney Wolverine on consignment for $350.00 earlier today. I'll have to review it again, but I believe to to be an original. Is this a fair price? How is it as a shooter?

      "Ghost" Chinese Type 56 - is this level of rust par for the course?

      I purchased a Chinese Type 56 ($300.00, drenched in cosmoline) at the Nation's Gun Show. I chose it primarily based on its intact bluing and relatively low serial number. Of the batch, it looked like the best then. As I'm wiping it down, I'm noticing rust spots I didn't notice before. I've...

      Serial numbers on an SKS.

      I'm planning to purchase an SKS at the upcoming Greencastle or Harrisburg show, and want one with matching serial numbers. Question is, where are all the serial numbers? I imagine there's one on the bolt and receiver; where else?

      C&R handguns and MD's 30-day wait

      If I purchase a regulated firearm and incur the 30-day wait, does that also prevent me from obtaining pistols with my C&R license in the meantime?
