I’ve been hunting for a couple of Colts to add to my collection. A birth year and a high school graduation year Colt. There were some specific things I was looking for, light use, and unmolested, one government and one commander and both in 38 Super. I had found a Commander on Guns...

Hoping @Karl Beining or any other of the masters on here could making a working replica of this early Hi Power style design:)

Friend of mine is selling this and I'm trying to get a value. Needs a good cleaning but otherwise functions fine. Any idea on value would be appreciated. Thanks Daryl

I currently have a few builds done by various gunsmiths. Some current, some have passed on. I have a couple more on books and am thinking of finding a smith that may be willing to take on my idea. Many smiths are not keen on the idea of straying from the traditional. I'm am presenting my vision...

Ask Mr. Wizard ............. What can you tell me about collet bushing & barrel sets? I received this beautiful Colt from @jaydoc yesterday. He told me he didn't think it had ever been fired and after taking it down I tend to agree with him. Who can shed some light on the barrel setup? I have...

Ok........... so I may have made a mistake by selling all my LBs. (there......... I said it) I'm in the market for a lightly used or a not abused T.R.S. I'm not really set on getting a "like new in the box" one. I will consider .45 or 9 mm. I prefer to get one without FCS but that won't be a...

I acquired a 1950 Colt LW .38 sup recently. I took it to the range and managed to get some lead chunks to go through the paper man standing up against the dirt bank. Most of the time I had to ask him to wait there and stand still while I managed to somehow get the trigger pulled. After the...

I'm not looking for a museum piece or high dollar safe queen (unless the price is right) but more of one that I can occasionally shoot and appreciate for its age. Show/tell me what you have, what you want and/or what you would like in a trade.
