      Shotgun Sight Thread Length

      Welp, that answers that. Lol

      Colt D-Frame Confusion

      Still slowly fitting them in between Helldives, and while I was doing that I discovered a lockup issue; the bolt isn't engaging in the cylinder notches properly—it's like it's waiting to try and lock up until right after the notch passes on two or three chambers. Gonna take it to Scott's...

      Shotgun Sight Thread Length

      So, first time I'm replacing a bead sight on a shotgun and I noticed the threading on the Meprolight sight I got is a bit longer than the factory sight that came with my 500. When fully threaded in, it sticks out just under 1/32" into the barrel, rather than being flush like the factory sight...

      Colt D-Frame Confusion

      Quick update: Tried several Pachmayrs; not even close on any of them--thankfully, bought them through Amazon, so returns were easy. Tried eBay out of desperation, and I struck gold: There's a seller out of Thailand that makes custom grips for the Police Positive, PP Special, and short grip...

      Colt D-Frame Confusion

      I'll let you know what I find! Yeah, I'd looked at them, but if I'm gonna spring for replacements, I'd rather have something a little beefier than the standard small grips; they tend to disappear into my mitts. Lol Thanks! I'll see which ones work and let everyone know the model number. And...

      Colt D-Frame Confusion

      So, I picked up a Colt Police Positive Special dated 1933 on consignment from United a year or so ago. She was in great condition and looking lonely next to the Nagant I picked up, and I didn't have a Colt yet, so I figured why not? She's a pleasure to shoot and I really got her at a steal, from...

      Italian Bodeo m1889

      Just what I've learned from C&Rsenal—Mae does great minute-long reviews, if the long form stuff isn't your thing. Sourcing ammo's gonna be a pain for you and your wallet, but BuffaloArms.com (double-check if it's smokeless or black powder!) might help you out—supposedly Fiocchi does a run once...

      Newborn son- what handgun to buy?

      Chiappa Rhino, hard to beat for unique.

      For sale VORTEX STRIKE EAGLE 1-6X24MM RIFLE SCOPE AR-BDC (MOA) RETICLE — Like New

      Hey folks, Selling a barely used Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24mm with a MOA AR-BDC Reticle. Originally purchased for use with my Ruger American Ranch, but it's just too dang heavy (18.5 oz) for a scout rifle build. She's in practically new condition, a couple very light handling marks, but...

      First Slug Gun - What do I need?

      Yeah, I think I might go for a 1-4x; I'm a bit paranoid, so if I don't have access to irons, I prefer a scope that can give me 1x as well—just in case of a unexpected close quarters encounter. :tinfoil:

      First Slug Gun - What do I need?

      Yeah, that's what most the research I've done already indicated, too—figures it'd be the most expensive one. lol I was looking at Brenneke, too; might be an excuse to head down to GreenTop in the near future. :D Got the sling and a few boxes of Hornady SSTs, gonna try them first. Any...

      First Slug Gun - What do I need?

      Walked into Dick's in Frederick (I know, I know) last Friday night and spotted a Remington 870 Fieldmaster looking lonely next to all the Winchesters and Stevens. It was on sale, so I couldn't help myself. This'll be my first 870 (I'm generally a Mossberg guy), and my first slug gun. 23"...

      Looking for a 12ga Savage O/U 420 Double Trigger.

      Never heard of that model before, looks very similar to my Marlin Model 90. You picked a rare one, it seems; all I've found so far at my usual sites is a 16 Ga at GunsInternational. Best I can recommend is maybe keep an eye out for it on Proxibid?

      Ammo Question needed answered.....

      Could be an expiration thing, I suppose, but more likely it's that the department swapped to a different type of round, or maybe even a different caliber? Just curious, what is it, specifically? Wouldn't be surprised if they started ditching JHPs for Frangible ammo, for instance.

      Has anyone been denyed for a dv protective order

      First off, IANAL; I just took my W&C course a week ago, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind, but please do your research rather than trusting my opinion. On the issue at hand... Hard to say; if it didn't end up in the courts and they gave you your firearms back, then I want to say no, there's...

      If they're going redcoat only, then I look forward to them going out of business. More business for MGN!

      Modern Holsters for Surplus Revolvers?

      Nice looking holster! Yeah, I'd considered just commissioning one, but as a last resort. Thanks! Fair point, I hadn't considered Uncle Mike's; isn't the nylon a little rough on your finish, though? Yeah, I'm thinking I might just go with the Hunter 1100-14 and see what it can accommodate...

      MOCO Principal says students who circulated video (Makes her look bad) on social media will face consequences!

      I don't know where MCPS gets off thinking it's the students' responsibility to make sure their school system is represented well. If you're having fights in the school, that sounds like a disciplinary problem, not a 1A problem.

      Modern Holsters for Surplus Revolvers?

      Hey folks, I realize this might be sacrilege to ask, but I'm looking for alternate holster options to typical WWI-WWII European revolvers; namely, the 1895 Nagant, Mle. 1892, and maybe a Webley Mk IV? Probably sounds weird, I know, but I'd prefer to keep the vintage holsters in better shape...

      H&R sportsman 999

      There's not much timing to work with on those revolvers, sadly. Have you removed the grips to get a look at the mainspring? Should just be a rod inside a spring that goes through a cup at the butt of the frame; my best guess would be the spring's in need of replacement.
