    Current value NIB Pietta Remington .31 pocket

    I've got a pair, but was thinking of selling one off to get something else. What are people's opinions of the current value?

    CLOSED 58 NMA Remington with target sights.

    There might be some markings on the barrel under the loading lever.

    CLOSED 58 NMA Remington with target sights.

    Who made that and what year is it? Is the front sight removable? I just bought a Pietta with target sights, but the front sight doesn't have the ramp like your's does.

    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    In my option this is not true. America used to be full of freedom as proven by how easily you could buy gun stuff. Every gas station, hardware, grocery and merchantile store used to carry gun stuff. The '68 GCA changed that. We could have those freedoms again, if not for politicians ( both sides...

    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    I'm not a big fan of Wally World both because their Fuddish response to the El Paso store shooting, but mostly because a lot of their products are sourced from communism China. You can't totally fault them for that because of what Nixon did in 1972. For a long time Wal Mart was a decent company...

    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    I was shopping at a Wally World out of my area and noticed they had a new looking display of BP stuff. No balls, only inline projectiles. Not much powder, mostly pellets. I did see these:

    I'm surprised that king Cuomo allows his subjects to possess 5 lbs of black powder.

    Best way to check the condition of a non Damascus barrel

    As I understand it Magnaflux is used for searching for hidden internal defects like; cracks, inclusions and porosity, which disrupts the magnetic field. Pitting is on the surface and I'm not sure that it would show any results. Do you have any links showing how that's done for gun barrels...

    Best way to check the condition of a non Damascus barrel

    Great tip, thanks! It's not a Damascus. It's an original and I'm worried about any pitting, because AFAIK ( this might be wrong ) 140+ year old metallurgy wasn't as good as today, especially with the quality control.

    Best way to check the condition of a non Damascus barrel

    What's the best way to check the integrity of the barrel(s) of a used shotgun? I would think the only way would be with a bore scope or maybe remove the nipple and see if a tiny light could fit through the hole and illuminate the bore(s). If the gun is rusty, how much pitting is OK?

    1862 Pocket Police Replica barrel removal

    I did think of trying the loading lever, but was worried about damaging it. I tried it after reading the replies and it does pop the barrel loose with some force on the lever. Are new guns sticky, until the arbor wears in? Another question is how do you know when the wedge is seated correctly?
