Sounds familiar. I'll check. Thanks for your help. I like your dog.

Thanks, Blue. I contacted Lee, and sadly, he doesn't have the parts. I've contacted two other purveyors of vintage parts. One said, "Sorry, no." The other simply replied, "No." There must be someone out there? I'd bet my Red Ryder BB gun that they are the same parts used in later model Astras, and m...

Thanks, guys. Bob never got back to me, though I wrote more than once. Numerich obviously runs a good business but lo, emails are returned with directions to order. I sent pictures hoping to help and confirm. My hopes are now with Lee's. Lee takes calls three days a week. My next opportunity is Tues...

I need grips and a slide spring assembly for an old, but serviceable gun my dad brought home from France after WWII. About 20 years ago, my guns in an outbuilding were broken into, some taken, some dissembled, and parts scattered. (Likely kids.) I can't get a response from Bob's Gun Parts...maybe ve...

Finding one with a walnut stock became a chore, and a lot of long distance driving. When I found one, there was only one, and the stock looked like apple box wood....

How nice to be welcomed. I should have introduced myself in my first post. I was a lucky kid. After WWII, when I was 6-9, my folks moved to a house on the edge of unhunted woods, virtually unfished lakes, and a dairy farm that was a great source for dove shooting. I can't imagine giving a 9 year old...

My parents gave me a Model 12 for Christmas when I was 12. That was 59 years ago. I have never wanted another pump. That said, I think I'll get an Remington 870 with a 3" chamber, and a choke...which brings up the first poster's question. Though the gun will accept 6 shells, it has likely been plugg...
