      Moving my collection to Texas, suggestions..

      I have recently retired and plan to move to Texas sometime next year. Need ideas on moving the collection. It is too large to consider shipping FFL to FFL. The shipping and fees would easily pay for a 1941 Johnon, maybe with K-43 thrown in. My original plan was to tow a trailer with them...

      Status of HBAR ban (HB0612)?

      I know that the answer is probably buried in one of the other threads, but I haven't been able to did out a clear answer? Can anyone give me the current status of the bill?

      HR8 background check bill the death of the C&R?

      Yes, I know it is unlikely to pass the Senate this year, but downtream.... Reading the text of the bill, it makes no exception for holders of FFL03 licenses. In other words, the whole country would be like New Jersey -- all sales through FFL01 dealers. The only utility left for the license...

      Seeking EVO Scorpion Carbine

      Ok, my reading of the 2013 FSA, the CZ Scorpion Carbine is still Maryland legal. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Does any dealer in MD have one for sale? Would prefer the version without the faux suppressor.

      Is there any gunsmith in the Washington/Baltimore/Annapolis area that can do a good reblue on a revolver?

      Colt SAA refinish

      I have picked up a Gen 1 Colt SAA that has had all of the finish stripped from the frame. The barrel and cylinder are both Colt replacements and are blued, giving it a striking two tone look. However I prefer a more vintage appearance so I want to get it refinished. I'm thinking case color...

      Looking for a .357 Revolver recommendation

      I haven't owned a .357 is a while and now have the itch, so am looking for a recommendation. What I would really like appears to be "unobtainium": a 2.5 to 3.5 inch, medium frame sa/da, round butt 6 shot. In other words, the FBI issue Model 13 from the 1980s. Absent finding a rare used...

      Opinions on Beretta Cx4 vs Ruger PC9

      Any thoughts one vs. the other. Admittedly the Cx4 is cooler looking but beyond that is there a good reason to pick one over the other. I don't own any Ruger , Beretta or Glock mags (I'm a SiG guy) so that is not a factor. Anyone know of a local dealer that has either in stock?

      Cowboy Ammo-- safe in an old Winchester

      I tried this question over in the black powder forum, but figured I might get better advice here. I recently picked up an Winchester 1892, made in 1906, chambered for .38-40 (.38WCF). Assuming that it is otherwise safe to fire (seller tells me that it was fired within the last 6 months, but...

      Newbie Question -- Cowboy Action Ammo

      I'm a newbie in the sense that I have only recently gotten into collecting antique and "near antique" firearms. I recently picked up an Winchester 1892, made in 1906, chambered for .38-40 (.38WCF). Assuming that it is otherwise safe to fire (seller tells me that it was fired within the last 6...

      Winchester 1892 Questions

      I am considering purchasing a 1920s vintage Winchester 1892 from an online auction as a restoration project, and have a couple of questions: The rifle is chambered for .25-20, and although the barrel is reported to be in decent condition, I am considering having it rebarreled to .32-20...

      Looking for Blackpowder Gunsmith for a Martini

      I recently acquired a Martini off Gunbroker and am wondering if it is safe to shoot. I slugged the barrel, and it comes out within spec (except the last inch of the bore, and if it can safely be fired I might have it counterbored.) and the action seems tight.

      Are any MD Dealers not recognizing Retired military as exempt from HQL?

      I know this was an issue when the HQL was new, but was wondering if it was still lingering. Do we know of any Maryland dealers that are still not selling to retired (I mean Blue ID, drawing a pension, not discharged with a DD-214) military without an HQL? Don't want to bother shopping with...

      Looking for Recommendations for small CCW 9mm

      Since I have come to the conclusion that my beloved Hi Power and P225 are too big for warm weather CCW carry, I am looking for recommendations for a smaller gun. My criteria: 1. 9mm 2. Single Stack 3. Hammer Fired, either SA or DA/SA. Must have a hammer spur 4. Compact (think...

      Looking for small of back holster recommendation

      I am looking for "Small of the Back" belt holsters for my Browning Hi Power and my Sig P225 (P6). I see a number online but have yet to find one configured how I want it. I am low waisted so need a holster that rides high, with the gun near horizontal, and I want a holster that holds the gun...

      Another Trapdoor question

      On most if not all trapdoors I have handled (and been paying attention) the "trapdoor" breachblock seems to be a bit loose when closed. By loose, I mean the block seems to have a bit of side to side play. Is this normal? Is it safe to shoot (all other things being good) or should the block be...

      Sources for Winchester 1895 Carbine Parts

      I just picked up a Winchester 1895 Saddle Ring Carbine in .30-40 Krag tht I am looking to "restore". It's 1914 manufacture. I haven't taken it apart yet to see what it needs, but as a minimum it needs a carbine butt plate and new wood. The upper handguard is particularly bad. I know...

      Seeking Reference material on Napoleonic firearms.

      I know this isn't C&R but I posted this over on the Black Powder board and got no response. Maybe I will have better luck here: Can anyone point me toward any comprehensive reference books on the muskets, rifles, carbines and pistols used during the Napoleonic wars, particularly by the...
