Re: Webley WG, finally found one!!! pics

In my experience with several Webley Mk V and Mk VI revolvers, the bore diameter is significantly smaller than the .455 suggested by most as "proper" Webley bullet diameter. Mine mike around .445 to .448 in the lands and .450 to .451 in the grooves and shoot accurately with bullets intende...

Re: Smith and Wesson Model 22 Question

I second Mountineers suggestion on that style of demooning tool. I've used both and the latter tool is much easier to use, especially when you are trying to get out the last case. Treat your moonclips well and they will last a long time. Brownells sells a really clever clip loading tool called a &qu...

BTW, that pouch is a 4 or 5 cell Hungarian AK-47 Magazine Pouch . Quite plentiful at the moment. Most places are selling the pouch plus 4 Mint AK magazines for $65, and the pouches themselves are appearing for $10-$20. Our friendly neighborhood merchant of death here in IL has dozens of them in gree...

As a former gunshop employee and owner of 35+ S&W revolvers of all vintages, I would first contact S&W customer service directly. You would be amazed at the lengths that Smith will go to correct problems with their guns, even problems that were obviously caused by carelessness or downright n...

The trigger on 92s has a "dead zone" after the initial take up and before the trigger breaks which really throws people (myself included). I've worked in firearms sales and always dreaded shooting the 92FS in demos or for people who complained "this dang thing doesn't shoot straight.&...

Pros: Rotating barrel mechanism dampens torque and recoil, making it more controllable in larger calibers like .40 and .45ACP. Not a big deal in 9mm. Polymer frame has interchangeable grip panels, is extremely durable, and relatively non-stressed. Trigger is improved over the Beretta 92FS, which mak...

New Member Chiming in here: I really prefer to use Auto Rims, especially in older S&Ws or revolvers that are converted from .45 Eley/.455 Webley like my British Hand Ejectors and Webleys. Most Auto Rim rounds are loaded with plain lead or plated lead bullets and put less wear on the barrels. The...
