Firearms

Made before WW 2. Unfortunately, they were made in Belgium, production records lost during the war. As Browning says- from that time period, age is a guess. Sorry.

no

Many of the scopes sold by them are Nikon.

1932-1941, production stopped during WW 2, and resumed 1946-1954.

About $150-$175, depending on condition.

1935

website for gunpartscorp, letter S, Savage, Model 73, and there is a parts diagram.

This is a matter of federal law, not state law. Most misdemeanors won't disqualify you from owning a firearm, but some will. For example, any domestic violence conviction, even if only a misdemeanor, will disqualify you. We'd need to know specifically what the misdemeanor was in order to give an absolute answer.

1960 according to the Ruger website.

1948-1957

That would depend on the type of rifle and the year it was manufactured since the model and year are needed to order replacements. The new CVA QRBP (Quick Release Breech Plug) is mated to the barrel at the factory, and replacements don't just drop right in. Fitting requires a Mating Tool be used so the plug can be removed with fingers only. The factory does not advertise the diameter or threads per inch (TPI) of their plugs, perhaps to discourage hardware store replacement parts, or tapered machine taps being used by shooters who try to save a few bucks. This pre-supposes that the plugs are standard sized threads, and I don't know that to be a fact.

In either case, normal machine threads have minimal tolerance between the male-female threads to allow torquing so bolts don't loosen or vibrate out. (of a plane's wings in flight for instance) A tight tolerance is unnecessary and in fact counter productive with a breech plug. Any escaping gas would be minimal and ordinary plugs will tighten as they heat and expand rather than loosen and back out. This is caused by the blasting away of lubricants and the buildup of cap and powder crud when fired, compounded by plug expansion which further minimizes thread clearances, squeezing lube out and fouling in.

Breech plug thread sizes may actually be proprietary, and used only in gun manufacture. For instance, the thread size of traditional shotgun front bead sights are a 3-56 screw thread (tiny #3 screw with 56 TPI) and used exclusively for guns. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the diameter, threads per inch and thread types (there are many) of rifle breech plugs are non standard to minimize the chances of dangerous mismatching of replacements that aren't properly fitted and heat treated to withstand the pressure curve when black powder is detonated and slower, progressive burning smokeless powder substitutes are ignited. (Modern powders are classified as propellants while black powder is a Class 3 explosive because it burns so fast)

While there HAVE been smoothbore .22 LR firearms, they are rather rare- and are not used for shooting regular skeet. The shot they fire is too small. One of them- the Mossberg Targo- had what looked like a screw on choke- but is was actually a short section of rifled barrel to permit shooting regular .22LR lead bullets. Most shotguns used for skeet or trap will be 12 g. Visit any decent sized gun shop, and talk to the salespeople.

These were not high dollar guns, but fairly well made. Value is around $150-$175.

with a permit, yes.

Yes, especially if you have been convicted of a crime against a family member/ domestic partner.

Hire an attorney to file a petition for restoration of right.

NO! CLP, yes. CLR is a strong acid that is meant for cleaning toilets and sinks. It will corrode a gun.

Pro 2nd amendment. The right to keep and bear arms.

The Mossberg 500 series is the best self defense hand gun in the 200 to 300 dollar range.

Your shotgun was made between 1950 and 1955. The law did not require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns until 1968. Simply put, your Mossberg has never HAD a serial number. Yes, it is legal to possess. It is NOT legal to remove a serial number, but if the gun never had one, that's OK. 1950-1955

No. Made a great fantasy for a movie, but the story is based on a work of fiction. The German military had a large gun emplacement at Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy France- but that was not as large or as well protected as the guns in Navarone.

Yes, as it is originally configured with a fixed 10 round magazine and a fixed stock.

This is a shallow spiral groove cut into the inside of a gun's barrel. As a gun shoots, the projectile engages these grooves and they impart a longitudinal spin to the bullet. This creates gyroscopic stability which greatly increased the accuracy of the projectile.

TNT. Liquid Oxygen is not an explosive.

Coast to Coast was a chain of hardware stores. Several companies made guns marked with the brand, and included Savage, Marlin and Stevens. Depends of which gun you are researching.
