This video is about excessive end shake, but also shows you how to check the gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone. If it's not in spec, you can have a tight gun. The last part shows how to remedy that. It's just a guess on my part, but the possibility is there. Otherwise, my 34-1 has a problem with the ejector rod coming loose and making it hard to open.

Yes.

Picked this up this weekend too... it's a Mk I Martini Henry Carbine. Looking to find the parts to reassemble it. I need the fore grip, barrel bands, and rear sight. If I have to go reproduction, that's ok. I plan on getting this redone and checked out to see if it's still able to shoot. Ammo isn't cheap, but how often do you get to shoot one of these?

Try as I might, I cannot find anything on a SxS hammer shotgun that I picked up the other day. It's apparently a clone, or copy of the WW Greener as it has the same cross-bolt feature that Greener invented. Still, you'd think I wouldn't have the only one in existence. I don't have a full shot of this gun, but several close-ups that I hope I can successfully upload here. Anyone here heard of it? Only thing I can find is that Clyde made these and sold them to people at wholesale prices. So... after trying to upload, my files are too large. I'll resize them tomorrow when I'm at my desktop computer at work. I was able to resize one... maybe I can do some others.

Royal Range... never as crowded as NA, and the everyone there is awesome. Always willing to help too.

My favorite 10/22 shown here with the Hogue stock and some random bi-pod from Amazon. It's a great shooter. Besides this one I have another 10/22 that I've left bone stock just because I like it that way. Also have a Marlin Model 60 before the regs changed and they started making them shorter. It's the 18 round tube-fed one.

I didn't really know for sure until after I bought it. Wasn't looking to buy a gun at the time, but it walked into my office and I love j-frames... so....

Pretty sure that it's 1968, but please see what you can find out. I don't know how that Ruger got in there... they have a way of multiplying in my house too. Sometimes they get a little jealous.

After more research... I've determined that it was definitely manufactured in 1968. In 1968, S&W did away with the diamond grip on this little gem, and in 1969 is when they included the M prefix. Just to be sure, I removed the grips to make sure they were numbered to the gun.

Anyone have one of the S&W book/manuals that lists when a gun was produced? I just picked up a nice little Model 34-1 without the the letter prefix. It's simply 117452, and I know that beginning in 1969 is when they began using the M Prefix. Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me...

It's heavy, ugly as sin, cheap, and has one awful trigger, but shoots remarkable well! I'm talking about my new Hi-Point 45! I kind of/sort of bought it as a joke and even ordered new grips for it with $100 bills on it from hipoint45.com just to make it that much uglier... but I am really impressed with it. My Mom, Son, and I have a family shooting night at least once a month so I took it out to Royal Range tonight to play with it. 7 Yards produced the following:
