Colt, H&R, S&W to name a few
Chamber music is locked up. Baroque music needs to be fixed.
No, it's a 2nd class lever.
Newton's third law - 'Action and reaction are both equal and opposite.' Basically, when the powder charge inside the bullet ignites, it exerts the same force to backwards as it does to launch the bullet down the barrel. Since the cartridge is fixed inside the chamber, the result is that the gun 'kicks back'. There are two ways to consider this phenomenon. First, it falls under the general category of Newton's Laws of Motion, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Secondly, if you examine what is happening in detail, you would see that when a bullet is fired from a gun, there is an explosion which produces a rapidly expanding cloud of gas, which is what pushes the bullet to leave the barrel at high velocity. That same cloud of gas, which pushes the bullet forward, expands in every direction, not just forward, therefore it is also pushing the gun backward. The pressure in the various sideways directions (up or down, right or left) is symmetrical; it presses equally in opposite directions resulting in no net force. But the pressure on the bullet to go forward and the gun to go backward is not balanced in that manner, because it is divided between the bullet and the gun. Hence there is a net force exerted on both the bullet and the gun. The force exerted on the bullet is necessarily equal to the force exerted on the gun. Momentum is conserved, so you can't push something forward without also pushing something backward. (This is not always obvious, because sometimes we are pushing on the Earth, which is so large that we do not see any resulting movement.)
No way to answer without knowing barrel length and gauge.
Lots of factors need to be taken into account: * What angle does the bullet strike the object? * What is the mass of the object? If small it will move and absorb the energy. * What is the bullet made of? Does the deformation absorb the energy? * Is the object firmly fixed or movable? * How fast is the bullet moving?
Requires a gunsmith to look at it.
NOT RECOMMENDED unless you are in a life or death situation.
These guns are quite old 46 to 60 years old the barrels can be very difficult to remove they are screwed into the receiver you should be a gunsmith to remove the barrel as fitting a new barrel you will have to make sure that the head space is ok. Most guns of this era had fixed barrel even the early Remington 870 had fixed barrels you will need a barrel vise barrel spanner to start with years of shooting and rust make thes barrels a challenging task
check for changes in the temperature of the chamber
Bore scope or bore light, after the weapon is unloaded an bolt remove/locked open. this answer is correct but there is an easier way, take the bolt out and look at the end, make sure there is no burnt, gouged or blistered metal on the end of the bolt (the end where the firing pin is ) if there is , this indicates an over pressure of the barrel, do not buy it! also look at the muzzle to make sure the hole is round with no chips or flat spots, (if present this can be fixed), look down the barrel , if the rifling is barley visible they are worn , and the easiest way to check the rifling is to take a bullet of the same caliber as the gun put the bullet into the end of the muzzle if the whole bullet lead slips into the muzzle end the rifling's are worn out, if the bullet does not go all the way in they are good, baring none of the other things listed are present. i would buy the weapon
It depends.. if you have a carbine length barrel and will be using it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then yes. If you took it from a rifle with a rifle length barrel, and are putting it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then it won't function properly.
A good gunsmith can help you.
