The value can be highly localized for the guns. In some markets, revolvers don’t usually move very well, so a brick and mortar store can’t offer good prices for them. If you are good selling through...

He made the action on a Model 12 I had smooth like butter, while still keeping ignition reliable (it was a carry gun).
Do *they* know how the action is supposed to work, even like back of a napkin sketch? Because it looks like they don’t know how the action works from the pictures.
I believe Outpost75 is the author of the article that was just posted.
I think that the revolver manufacturing is supposed to stay in Springfield?
But regardless of move, it’s clear that Colt has a gotten a decent handle on making higher end revolvers priced for the...
What do you suspect was off as far as cylinder ramp/notch geometry? I would be interested in hearing about it. Your 340 thread was great, by the way.
I mean, I already have one, but I am not happy hearing about that issue. I don’t run my guns particularly hard, so it’s extraordinarily unlikely that it’s going to be a significant issue for me. It...

This was one of the guns that was used in the GIGN assault on the flight by Theirry Prungnaud, who killed two of the hostage takers with this...
Ugh. They had to crap up those otherwise nice guns with their commemorative “engraving”.
I got a 3” barrel 38sp MR88 when they were being surplussed out by various importers and the prices were good. The barrel and cylinder are of good quality, and the frame is a Ruger designed, but a...

Ah, gotcha. Glad that you’re getting solid info, and it makes sense since you’re ya know, writing professional articles about the gun. For some reason, most companies don’t want to give detailed...
Is there any way we could see the fun documents? I am interested in getting info direct from Chapuis, as opposed to internet rumors- as long as it’s not too much trouble and you can post them freely.
Beretta USA just responded to an information request that I sent. They are not set up to service guns just yet until they build up a parts supply from Chapuis, but the plan is to be able to do so....
I typically don’t pay any attention to 95%+ of people publishing information about guns these days. People such as yourself and a few others, some of whom post on this forum on occasion, being the...
The HK service department in Columbus reportedly gets few returns. I was told several hundred guns per year is what they typically get. For as many as they make, that’s damned impressive to me.
Seller has three feedback, and one of them is negative. I would be worried about getting scammed, especially on a big ticket item like this.
A DLC finish would look way better to me. I really disliked the S&W heritage revolver series case hardened frames, too. Color cased stuff looks good, but I tend to internally roll my eyes on having...

PTG looks to have something available with copper inserts in quantities of less than 1000...
The thing that gets to me is that properly done MIM, and the lower cost of high precision CNC machining means that the super fine labor intensive fitting and finishing is not strictly necessary like...
I love dual use items!
I reslugged the bore as well as checked BC gap and cylinder/breechface gap.
(Consider any measurements taken into .0001 increments as an average “best fit” after several checks)
The barrel...
On my MR73, the throats all took a .358 minus pin gauge. Slugging the barrel got me roughly .356, maybe a touch less. I need to make a form so I can press some lead sinkers into more cylindrical...
Seeing new Chapuis guns go for more than you can get them from Kebco for, in addition to seeing well used Mulhouse guns go for similar, or in some cases much higher prices is what made me say @*$& it...
