Re: 1942 Walther PP Military w/Capture Paper

I would suggest keeping the paperwork in a sealed folder , or even laminating it, to protect it. There will be a day when the paper is worth more than the pistol , && it is a nice one !!

You can see this one & compare. It didn't meet the sellers reserve of $700, so it didn't sell. Is this like yours ?

Re: Remington 550-1 ejection problem

Great little rifles. Had one for years. It sounds like it just needs a more thorough cleaning & a lot of scrubbing the chamber with a brush.

Re: help me identify this pistol

GH= Guisasola Hermanos

Probably a close copy of a Smith & Wesson, or a Colt. Get it checked out by a gunsmith before trying to shoot it & verify the caliber. DON'T shoot any high power loads in it.
