I have googled. Everyone wants to talk about conversions to Mausers and other esoteric Colts from way back when. Siamese Mauser seems to be a common conversion caliber, but since I can't seem to find a definitive answer, I'm guessing it's no, or really rare. Everyone that's ever made a lever...

I've been wanting another AK. I'm far from knowledgeable and have no desire to build from a kit. I could just pick up another new WBP or Zastava, but have considered getting one that someone else built from a kit. My brain says they're cooler since they're "real." Since I don't know much other...

Put together an AR9 with a 16" PSA upper/bolt, S&W lower receiver, Franklin Armory BNSF III trigger, Endomag insert for pmags for the ejector and feeding into a 5.56 lower, KAK 8.4 ounce buffer, and the replacement buffer spring from Franklin Armory for the trigger. In single shot mode it works...

Posted this in the Welrod thread, but didn’t want to derail it. I picked this up new and cheap because it meets two of the three critera I use to buy shit…caliber I keep, threaded for a can or it uses mags that I already have. File photo. Great. I have a YHM R9 that can be used on this...

Never heard of this gun before but it seems to be getting more popular lately. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welrod https://bt-usa.com/products/station-six-9/

I'm putting together an M16A1 replica with several period surplus parts; upper receiver, buttstock, grip, fore end, fire control group (minus the auto sear), and flash hider. I'm gathering magazines, new Colt 4X scope, period surplus M7 bayonet with M8 scabbard, ammo can and other stuff. Does...

My dad passed away late July and mom is going through stuff and gave me this. What is it? Cap gun, firearm, cigarette lighter?

One of my rifles has started failing to chamber a round. End up with the bolt landing about midway on the case, and the bullet jammed into the lower side of the barrel. Cleaned and oiled...Same issue. More often when chambering the 1st round outta the mag, but not always. Started swapping...

Looking for a gun rack for cargo area of SUV Any suggestions? Needs: 4 guns guns placed horizontally (stacked vertically) gun is placed directly onto/into rack (Not slid in from either end) -prefer not mounted to back of rear seats I.e. a truck window rack for 4 guns on some kind of...

So I have a duplicate .38/.357 barrel. I can’t find a 9mm barrel that isn’t ridiculously priced by some asshole looking to retire off of one sale. I have a 9mm chamber reamer and I can get an extractor that will work. Hmmmm?

I pulled some guns out of the place I was storing them during the move/remodel and apparently at some point some gut wet. What's the best course or action? Non of them are anything special so no real value sentimental or other. What coating is going to give me a good finished product and is...

What would I actually need to reload rifle and pistol shells? I have looked at the kits and they all seem to have extra shit that isn't needed and seem to be lacking other things. For instance do I need a case trimmer? Beam scale vs digital? Powder measure vs powder trickler? Will the Lee...

This test was done with my S&W M&P 15-22 Performance Center model, that has an upgraded barrel, trigger and stock over the non-PC model. I changed out the shitty plastic handguard for a Tacti-cool aluminum mlok version, and put a Ruger Silent SR Ti suppressor with cover, (not really needed, but...

This is the selection I’ve been using for the past 15 ish years or so except the curved blade Buck, it’s around 5 years old. I no longer carry older knives I used to use years earlier. We used to field dress our deers (gut em out) but we do that all inside or big 175 yo barn now. We have an...

Anyone buy from BlackMarketArms on GunBroker? I bought a lower from them to be shipped to the ffl around the corner from my work, I’ve used my local ffl a dozen times with no issues buying guns off GB. My lower is delivered today and the local ffl here for some reason can’t process everything...

I love real books for reloading data. It is cool to collect old manuals and compare with modern sources especially when trying to find loads for obsolete powders which can occasionally turn up at estate sales etc. I never trust opened containers of powder but if still sealed I will use them...

I don't think we have a derringer thread, and probably because there is not a lot to say about them. They are kind of a back up to a back up. but still .. I want one. Something that can drop in the pocket of a bathrobe or sweat pants that's not throw off the weight too much. What is the best...
