      92FS Gun Porn

      I have a 92S. It was the fore runner of the SB and it had the Walther safety on the slide, but with the old frame with the mag release on the bottom of the left grip. The 92SB came before the 92F and is practically the same, with the mag release in the Luger position, behind the trigger guard...

      New Mauser

      I do not know the history of the k88 and k98 in 8mm. But I do know that there are two different 8mm rounds. The older 7.92 x 57J had a 0.318 in. bore and bullet with a round nose. The later 7.92 x 57JS had a 0.323 in. bore and bullet (spitzer) I would let a gunsmith slug the barrel and...

      Winchester Model 70

      The opinions in the South African hunting magazine "Man Magnum" seem to differ from your opinion. The biggest problem is they are scare in SA, so many guys have rifles built on K98 actions. The principle of an extractor that can not climb over the cartridge rim of a heavy caliber, count for a...

      Who shoots .22 Handguns?

      My first firearm I bought in the early seventies, were a model 70 Beretta, I believe it is the Jaguar in the US. I still have it and after I bought 150 more, it is still my favorite. It taught dozens of beginners and is still the practice gun for the family members with Beretta carry guns.

      what do you prefer 1911 or plastic guns

      My Colt 1911 was made in 1941. It was customized and did 60000 rounds. Great shooter. It received new springs more than half a dozen times. It never broke but worn out. The link and barrel bushing were replaced more than once and it needed complete rebuilding once(lock-up and slide grooves) It...

      Noob Question: What is a J-frame?

      Even a 38 spl is a handful in a snubbie. The lighter the more the recoil.

      WWII German Luger collectors??

      58 will be the last two numbers of the serial number. Note that the 7.65 cartridges were not the 7.65 Browning/.32 ACP. The Pistole Parabellum 1908 or Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), popularly known as the Luger, is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. The design was...

      Winchester Model 70

      Well then why is it the first choice for professional hunters, facing African Buffalo charges, after an Oberndorf Mauser k98. It is the best copy of the k98 with an improved lock time. The controlled feed is rather important when the .375, .404, .416 cartridge HAS to come out fast every time.

      A chamber question...

      With older shotguns with a 2.5" chamber we have a problem. A 2.75" cartridge will fit into it. The Paper/plastic casing will then fold open into the forcing cone. This will raise the pressure so much that you will damage the gun and possibly get hurt. If this is also the case with 2.75/3" I...

      WWII Walther PPK Marking

      I have not seen this marking on a Walther before. Before the Walthers were made in Zella Mehlis East Germany. Directly after the war they were made in France by Manurhin. When Walther were allowed to make firearms again in Germany in 1955, it was in Ulm am Donau Is it a coincidence that NSU...

      Looking for 22lr pistol

      In the .22LR plinker class I have Ruger standard, Beretta mod70, Erma, Browning Challenger and Medalist, Bernadelli mod 69, Walther PP Sport and Colt Match Target. My favorite is the Beretta. It introduced dozens people to shooting through the years and is the firearm with the highest round...

      WWII German Luger collectors??

      The matching numbers only effect the price of the pistol. At the end of the war, lots of pistols were built from whatever parts were available and issued with unmatched numbers. The artillery Luger is the collectors favourite

      WWII German Luger collectors??

      Are the numbers on all the parts the same, including the magazine? What numbers are stamped on the receiver. They were made by different companies and periods during the war and this will tell you more. If it came with an owners manual it is unlikely to be a war model. The Parabellum is for 9mm...
