All production models of the Mod 36 and Mod 37 manufactured in 1998 or later are rated for +P ammunition. Prior to that date, no guarantees.

Need value or any info for Smith Wesson 38 SW Special Ctg 6 bullet revolver brown wood grips Serial number is 612878 Top of barrel says Smith Wesson Springfield Mass USA. Patented FEB 6 06 SEPT 14 09?

I believe Ctg stands for "combat target" model. I am guessing that it has adjustable sights. Contact Smith and Wesson Through their web sight, give them the serial numbers. Customer service repaired a twenty year old model 15-3, that I purchased used, for free. I will definitely buy another S+W.

How long does pistol ammo stay usable?

For an extremely long time. It depends upon conditions and ammo type. Civil war explosives are still dangerous.

How bullet kills?

By causing loss of blood, or breaking the connection of the brain to the rest of the body.

Another answer:

GSW's or GunShot Wounds, kill and injure by conveying strong kinetic force to the body, often causing hydrostatic shock -- a pressure wave that travels through the body disrupting or damaging various tissues and organic structures.

The COD (Cause of Death) may be organ failure (neurological or others), hypovolemic shock, or various other disorders resultant from this kinetic insult.

Have Winchester 38-55 serial 250561 where can you buy ammo?

The Old West Scrounger carries this caliber. As I am sure you know, this caliber is obsolete, so a box of loaded ammunition is not inexpensive. If you wish to shoot this gun (if it's a model 94 then it was made in 1902) you should understand that it is quite valuable and should be treated accordingly. Light loads at the range would be prudent.

What is the value of a Smith Wesson 38 Special CTG 6 bullet revolver pearl grips. Serial number 337 386. Top of barrel Smith Wesson Springfield Mass USA. Patented FEB.6.06 SEPT.14.09.DEC.99.?

Without a picture or a thorough technical description of the condition, it's not possible to give an exact value. There are multiple variables also ommitted in your description, but It is likely a "Smith&Wesson Military & Police Model of 1905, 4th Change" (yep, that's a mouthful, commonly called the "M&P) that you are talking about - 4 inch barrel and square ended grips. It could range from $75 to $300 based on the internal and external condition of the gun. If you email me at jellyroll4@excite.com, I can direct you to better resources.

What type of ammunition is best for a 1911 Winchester model 90-22 wrf?

You may have a problem there. What I find on the 90-22 is that it was intended for 22 Long only. Those may be a little hard to find. Some of the older guns are not safe to shoot with modern amunition anyway since the new stuff is a lot more powerful than it was 100 years ago. .22 cal. Winchester Rim Fire Ammunition manufactured by Winchester is available at most all quality firearms dealers. (Not at Big 5, Wal-Mart, and the like.)

Can guns shoot a bullet into outerspace?

Not from ground level.

Even the fastest shooting guns do not move the bullet fast enough to break the gravitational pull. Also, force is only applied to the bullet while inside the gun barrel.

Rockets apply more force for a longer period of time in order to reach orbit.

Can you use 3 inch shell in 2and three quarter inch chamber?

The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT ADVISED. The shotgun "chamber" is the length of a breech section of larger diameter that accomodates the wall thickness of the shell (to provide a smooth transition from the interior of the expanded shell to the barrel of the gun). Although the unfired longer shell can be loaded in the shorter chamber, the crimp cannot fully open when fired... it will be pinched in the narrower barrel diameter in front of the chamber. That causes increased gas pressures during firing and could possibly damage the gun. (Newer guns should handle this slight overpressure safely but you may feel a slight increase in recoil.)

You can, however, go the other way around and safely use shells shorter than the guns chamber (eg a 12 gauge can safely use 2 3/4 inch shells in 3 inch chambers). There is some debate about the effect of this mismatch on shot pattern. Some credible long standing studies actually indicating a more uniform shot pattern from using shorter shells in longer chambers.

Where can you get .30 cal rimfire ammo?

Midwayusa.com

********

.30 cal rim fire (not .32, but .30 cal) has been out of production since 1917, and it is purely a collectors item. It may be possible to find a few rounds for display with an old revolver or rifle, but none of the ammo is likely to be in condition to shoot, and sells for several dollars per cartridge. You can check on line auction sites such as auctionarms.com for collectable ammunition. Ammunition must be shipped by UPS GROUND, and shipping will cost about $12 for a few cartridges.

Produced by M.B.A. of San Ramon California from 1960 to 1969, the Gyrojet saw only limited production.

Is there a plug in the Higgins Model 60 that can be removed to increase the magazine size to five or six shells?

If it has a tube magazine under the barrel, the end of it probably unscrews and a spring and a plug will come out. Put it back together with out the plug and you have a 5-shot magazine. Just don't get caught hunting migratory waterfowl without the plug in place.

Is the Smith and Wesson Model 15-3 38 Special rated for P ammo?

1. Yes. I obtained this information by emailing Smith & Wesson directly.

2. The model 15 is a K frame .38 special revolver. The 3 suffix means third change.

All K frame models from the first change onwards are rated for plus P ammunition.

As are N frame revolvers and L frame.

The plus P ammunition does reduce average service life as you might expect.
