Re: Shotfun misfires (FTF) with primer dent

My thoughts exactly.

I wonder if a loose tube would cause my issue? I will be sure it is tight for the next...

Re: Shotfun misfires (FTF) with primer dent

It is a 620a model. Recently checked and cleaned by a gunsmith. (Handed down to me, so I wanted it checked).

I am new to guns, so I don't know how to disassemble to the firing pin. Would I need to...

I tried the duds a second time, and most fired on the second attempt.

Looking at the...

Re: Handed down S&W .38 sp revolver

I confirmed that this was a recovered gun that was re-serialized by ATF, and alas, it was not my grandfathers gun.

I like it anyway, and will continue to use it.

Re: Handed down S&W .38 sp revolver

I am wondering if the police dept may have sent a batch of confiscated handguns (that had serial numbers removed) to the ATF to get re-serialized so the guns could go back into use? I have no idea if...

Re: Use Serial number to determine Chiefs special age ?

Would I contact the BATFE to learn when the serial number was assigned? I went to their home page, but did not see anything about serial numbers.

Is there a way to get a ballpark age from the...
