Yes. The Riot guns were primarily solid frame until 1919-1921' ish when they predominately became takedown models and after 1931 they were all takedown models. Before 1917 they were almost all solid frame.
These were great guns, When Illinois let us conceal carry I actually considered a BDM because it is so slim until I found out you couldn't get mags. In the early 90s my buddy bought one new & I shot it a lot. I wouldn't have used it like this, but in revolver mode it works exactly like a double action revolver, pull the trigger you get a double action pull, you can thumb cock the hammer for a single action pull if you want. He blew up the barrel after a reloading mistake (Browning wouldn't touch it after they heard he was shooting reloads) & I got it apart & rebuilt it then I bought him a new one for a wedding present.
I Successfully had the Auto Safety disconnected on a 20ga. BAIKAL side by side. Recently purchased a 311 (410) and Im wondering if I can get the Auto-Safety disconnected on it as well. Is it a fairly straight forward procedure on the 311 ?
Yes. The top snap plunger would need to be shortened so it does not contact the safety button when the top snap lever is rotated to the side. Do not over-shorten the plunger, only remove enough to prevent the plunger from pushing the safety button rearward.
I'm currently working on a customers Westernfield Model 59 and have to replace the plungers because somebody ground them down for some reason. The problem I have is I can not find anything from Sav/Stev/Spring that matches what I have. It is a very similar design but still vastly different and could use some help in identifying this so I can look for parts and resources.
Should be a pre-WW2 Stevens Model 6. Savage stopped repairing those by the late 1940's and would convert them to the then-current "Speed-Lock" action. Best bet for parts is to find a complete gun as a donor. I guess if someone absolutely HAD to, metal could be added and reshaped but the cost for that would be multiples of the gun's value.
I own an 1100 lt 20 and two 11-87 premier light contours And the new remington 1100 sporting is the exact same gun as the 11-87 premier light contour 👌 (down to the most minor detail)
I'm really enjoying your channel. I am having difficulty seeing the parts you're pointing out--the room is dark, the camera is blurry, and doesn't zoom very close. Do I need to get my eyes checked?
I never understood references to "Orient" or "Oriental" to be pejorative. Perhaps I need to check my language. I have felt that "Jap" for Japanese is socially improper, but see it popularly used in reference to the ammo for the Arisaka rifle: "7.7 Jap".
They never got a lot of traction when new and we rarely see them down here in Texas. Serviceable guns, but spare parts and wood can be a problem to find.
@@hi__im__darius4796 Pretty much all 365 parts are interchangeable. Give them a year and they will probably start selling that version with a ridiculously long name. They will sell the slide and barrel at some point. So if you don’t mind a mismatch and already have the AXG that’s the way to go.
Remington arms absolutely went to s*** after they started making the triangular barreled rifle. Who ever come up with that? Idea was an idiot. I would not own any Remington. Rifle older than a 1980, especially in the 700 have you opened and closed the bolt on a new Remington rifle? It sounds like sandpaper, a deer or elk could hear you do that half a mile away. They're jand I own nothing but Remington I go to buy a gun. I buy all pre 80 Remington guns used.
You mentioned the BOSS. I had an A-bolt in .270 and reloaded for it. The Boss is basically a tuning micrometer that had a sweet spot when you found it. I could shoot 3-shot groups in the same hole. I’m not sure why this concept never took off because it was unreal for accuracy.
Your comment on the magazine now costing more than the pistol did causes me to cringe when I think about the savage 340 rifle…a bargain basement creation that sold for $79 and now they ask $150+ for a birch replacement stock! Crooks are behind every bush.
I cant believe there is not more likes. Very informative thanks. Found one in a pawn shop but seems they wont take below $175 for it, I think I will pass
I've owned a few Security-Sixes over the years and I've always compared them to Smith and Wesson's Model 19/66 in overall size and weight. However, Security-Sixes never suffered with the reputation of flame-cutting of the top strap, forcing cone erosion, frame-stretching nor shooting loose after a steady diet of magnum loads. I think Ruger missed a great opportunity by not bringing out the Security-Six in .22LR like S&W did with their K-frames. Although I have a few more refined .357's, it's my stainless steel Security-Six with a 6-in. barrel that I take with me into the woods.
Nice info Andrew. This is David. I have the 22 over 20 ga, you checked/cleared it when i bought and brought to you for a once over inspection. Thx again.
Fabulous video. Idea for more videos. What is the best Classic Tube Fed Semi-Auto? What is the best Classic Tube Fed Bolt Action? What is the best Classic Tube Fed Pump Action? You could contrast with the worst designs!
@@BTORange - "Opinions" of knowledgeable and experienced people will always matter to me. I've just gotten in to collecting tube fed .22s after falling in love again with my grandfather's Remington Model 34.
I have fired many machine guns, and I would never own one. Yes the are cool but upkeep and feeding them IMP cost more then the weapon its self. 14 year in the army and never hit the fun switch unless it was for covering fire. other then that it was always one shot per trigger pull. Better control that way. Personal I like it that way. I have fired a g17 CONVERTED TO FULL AUTO. Unless you are 3-5 feet most useless machine pistol ever. Movies make machine guns look cool and sexy but the upkeep, and maintenance is a pain in the back end. Also if not properly maintained they will fail every time. I prefer semi auto, revolver, bolt action and pump action. But to each their own.
Absolutely. The Ithaca 37 is on a priority list several viewers have asked for it. However that model is not particularly common here in Southeast Texas and we just haven't come up for the reasonable example yet.
I’ve visited the ambush site and compared what I saw to Jeff Guinn’s excellent book, “Go Down Together” about the ambush. There will never be certainty because the lawmen made a secrecy pact, but details dribbled out. What is known is that Bienville Parish deputy Oakley had a Model 8 in .35 Rem that he borrowed from an Arcadia dentist. He allegedly fired the first shot at approximately 5 yds distance into Barrow’s neck killing him instantly and likely mortally wounding Parker. We’ll never know for sure, but both ended up with 50 to 75 holes poked in them.
Thanks for the videos I enjoy them i have a 183D 1947 vintage i paid $75 and ordered a modified choke for it. I take it rabbit hunting every once in a while. I would love to see you review the Browning double Automatic shotguns.
Gratifying to see old, utilitarian guns appreciated. Not sure all of today's plastic fantastic firearms will be appreciated decades from now. Neat old Mossberg.
