It is mentioned above that these rifles sometimes have a problem with the firing pin sticking, resulting in slam fires. There is available a retro-fit firing pin retraction system. Only the very...
I had Dave Salyer modify a Beretta 92FS with just a match barrel, taller adjustable sights and a trigger job. Other gunsmiths do much more extensive accurizing with steel inserts in the frame which...
It is hard to get a decent optic alone, at your budget.
I went with a RWS Diana Model 34, and put decent glass on it.
I shot hundreds of squirrels, plus the occasional Skunk with .177...
I find the PTR to be just fine as-is, and good magazines are very cheap. Without a change of stock, it is hard to put optics on. The fluted chamber makes fired cases look awful, but does snot...
Most of the Murom primers I have shot have been Berdan primers in 7.62x39 and 7.5x55. I have shot some of their small rifle primers. I believe they make 3 varieties of small rifle primers alone. ...
About 20 years ago I started shooting Civilian Marksmanship Program .22 Spotter matches. At that time, there were several vendors advertising on Rim Fire Central who would modify everything but the...
Beretta has manufactured not just the full size grip, but one ground thinner and angled more like the 1911, and called it the Vertec grip. With my big hands, I hate it, but they also now manufacture...
Beretta has redesigned the locking block several times, in an effort to increase life. That early a 92 is going to have the first type, which has the greatest/quickest incidence of wing cracking,...
The old screws wok, but I like having spairs.
I bought a SIG P226 slide with an already mounted SIG Romeo1 Pro red dot on it from RTG. It came without the steel Shroud that SIG makes for it and the Romeo 1. I went and got the Shroud. The...
Finding bullets that fit big cylinder throats is a challenge. I have several .455" molds, which I will cast bullets with when it gets warmer. Until then, I have been using Bear Creek 185 grain...

To medmo and CSW, I have one of these that I use with my Compact, and it makes it...
I bought one of the big pin gauge sets, and measured a bunch of my revolvers. No surprises amongst the .38s & .357s.
Cylinder throats on two Model 29 .44s were .428".
Cylinder throats on...
Langdon Tactical offers a trigger job in a bag for several pistols, including the Beretta 92. On the 92, it causes the double action motion of the hammer to go in a significantly longer arc, which...
Brownell's has a lower receiver with an integral butt folder. I believe it is a bit lighter than a lower-with-a-Law. ...
Two ways: I have seen slides that are milled, and you buy the appropriate plate for the dot footprint, or you buy a plate that replaces the rear sight.

Think about what you might want to do with this rifle. If you are retired from Uncle Sugar, you are probably 40+, and your eyes are going through the change. Without a scope, you'll need really...
My Dad hunted deer into his late 70s. One of his favorite rifles to carry was an early Marlin 1895 in .45-70, equipped with an aperture rear. Somehow, he never shot anything with it. He gave it to...

If your bullets are too small, they may keyhole. If your bullets are too small, you will probably have significant Leading in your bore, with the gases blowing by the bullet stripping Lead off the...
I have not looked at it in a long time, but Craigslist used to have lots of reloading stuff on it. Most of us have an extra single stage press or two sitting around. Where do you live?
You have to be a member of the Cast Bullets forum for 30 days, but they have a forum specifically for requesting a few of a particular bullet: ...
