I'm hoping someone can ID this magazine I came across when I was cleaning my shop. I've never had a S&W auto--somebody apparently left this at my place years ago. It appears to be 9mm. The follower is some sort of plastic. 1 1/4' wide, 3/4" thick, 4 1/2" long. Grip angle is right at 15...

I'm looking for an older all steel Lyman receiver sight for a Marlin 39A. This would be either a model 56MC or a 66MC. Thanks!

I've got a couple of very old and valuable leather sheaths/holsters, as well as a leather handled knife. Would it be OK to store them in my safe outfitted with a Golden Rod? Would it tend to dry them out too much? Thanks for any insight on the best way to store this stuff.

This happened in the town I grew up in, about 20 miles north of Atlanta. The town has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Four geniuses decided to come north from the big city to carjack a Honda. Being clever fellows they decided to do this at a busy car wash in a heavily patrolled area in...

I was going to submit a pic but now I can't seem to find the thread--was the contest called off? Maybe moved?

Anyone who has lived anywhere around Atlanta for the last 30 years or so knows who Captain Herb is. Or, unfortunately, was. He came to Atlanta from Brevard, North Carolina in 1971, burning with a desire to be on radio. Some man gave him a chance. Herb certainly made that man look smart...

I've got a Beretta 20 ga. 390 Youth Gun I'm giving to a friend for his son. He's a little guy and the 13 1/2" stock is too long. I'm looking for a buttstock for a 390/391 to cut down for him so we can preserve the stock that's on it. It's a fair piece of walnut and the kid will grow into it...

A buddy of mine is building a new place and wants to put in a walk in safe. He's a contractor and will do the work himself. It's going to be a poured wall structure. I know some around here have done this and was hoping to get some ideas for him about where to find a good door as well as...

A couple of recent memorial posts about dogs reminded me of this article, which someone posted a link to on the upland hunting forum I belong to. There's a very deep bond between dogs and humans which doesn't seem to be there with other animals, and that is largely not understood. That's...

I enjoyed the thread about country music and wanted to start this one so guys that posted in it would take a look, and perhaps find a venue they didn't know about. You fellers that like real old style country music owe it to yourselves to check out the Marty Stuart Show on RFD TV. It's on...

I've been hanging around this place for a while, and I've learned a lot. I don't really have a collection, just a small accumulation of shooters. Lately we've been seeing a lot of posters asking about "CTGs", which is something I don't recall seeing all that often before, if at all. It's...

A local store has a 45 Colt Mountain Gun for sale. It's a 625-6 They want $650 for it. Some sort of finger groove rubber grips. I'm not sure if they are original. Didn't ask but seriously doubt they have the box. This store is one of the ones with very few revolvers. I haven't had my...

Great story about a gutsy young woman and a heck of a horse! Wrangler charges griz to save boy in Flathead

Taking a shot here--I'm looking for a Lyman aperture sight for a Marlin 39A 22 rifle. Lyman's model number for the sight for the 39A is 66. I'd like an old one to match the rifle--it's a 1948--but I'll take one of any vintage. Thanks.

Years ago I bought a 10-8 police trade in for my sister as a house gun. She recently moved and got another gun and gave me back the 10-8. I'm thinking about giving it to my other sister who recently expressed interest in a house gun. Prob. get her a shotgun as well but she likes handguns and...

I see some pretty silly stuff on other boards--including the fact old Colt revolvers are unsafe to use with modern ammo because they are made with cast iron because steel wasn't invented until the turn of the century. Learn something every day I reckon. Not long ago I saw a thread about modern...

I'm probably going to be getting a full flap field holster from Lobo, for my K22 CM and my model 10. Is there any real advantage with respect to bluing wear in having the holster lined? It's an 18 dollar upgrade. Any other advantages to lining the holster? Thanks

Michael McIntosh, who wrote mostly about shotguns and wingshooting, died this week. If you're not familiar with him, and have any interest in shotguns (particularly fine double guns and O/Us) and bird hunting, you owe it to yourself to learn more about him. He was a terrific writer and was...

Haven't posted for a whole--the place looks different! And my post count? Anyway, I'm looking for a holster for my 3 inch 36-1, for field use, as opposed to CC. Thanks! Leather only, please.

Any ideas on the value of this revolver? I have a chance to buy it and am not knowledgeable enough about this model to know what a fair price is. I have not seen it in person--only this pic. Thanks for any help you can give.
