Does anyone have any recommendations for a competent gunsmith. The guy I normally use is in the process of retirement, and has already begun breaking down his s...

Re: Here's what I got for my $300 Glock

Nice trade there. Typically the single six will shoot the 22 mag better than the 22lr. This is due to the barrel being sized for the 22mag which is slightly larger than the 22lr (.224 vs .222). You might consider slugging the barrel to determine the bore size. Mine slugged at .225, so it makes sense...

Does anyone know where I can get a firing pin for a pre war winchester 1894? I discovered recently that mine is now a 2 piece firing pin. :shock:

On the same note; is this common for the older 94's? Should I keep spares on hand or is this just one of those things that happens with age and use?
