Re: Winchester 1894 (Consignment Sale)
That serial number dates to 1899. Pictures would help to evaluate the rifle as it is nearly impossible to judge condition from a description. See if the shop will either clean the bore or let you do...

Re: Pistols
I know that everyone has their own preferences as to what they want in a particular gun as far as intended use is concerned. But, I don't think that the external hammer on the HK is all that big a...

Re: Beater 45.
The inspectors initials on your .45 are from Gilbert H. Stewart, who was the government inspector at Colt from 1915~1918. The serial number is hard for me to read, but it looks like it is in the...

Re: Beater 45.

Re: I could use some help on an HK91
I agree. But it would be foolish from a retailers point of view to sell that $800 AR for the old list price. When is he going to get another for what he was paying? I don't know and neither does...

Re: I could use some help on an HK91
Don't be too hard on your dealer. He is very likely caught in situation where if he sells his ammo and AR's for the old price, it will cost him more to replace it than he made on the sale.

Re: S&W K-38
I think it is a very nice early four screw K38. Odd because while the serial number you gave does, indeed, point to a 1956 manufacture date, I didn't think that the four screw models were made until...

That could very well be. I did some further research and found out that there were indeed, many rebarred to .30-06. I don't have any Russian 7.62 around to compare to a US service cartridge, so I...

Re: Unknown gun #1
Well, you could certainly rebarrel it, but the bolt face is different between 7.62X54r and .30-06. I'm not sure just how it would work.
