Mossberg model 810a misfire dents the primer but won't set it off

If you're getting a good dent, it's the ammo, not the gun. The good dent is all you hired the firing pin and spring to do. They did their job....don't blame them for the screwed up part time workers.

Can a norico 9mm mag load more then 16 shots

No, not when it comes to Norinco magazines for pistols, at least.The single stack version holds up to eight rounds and the double stack version holds up to 16 rounds.There are other 9mm magazines (AR-15), however, that can hold up to 32 rounds. Here are some of them: https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/category/parts-and-accessories/magazines/ar-15-magazines/9mm-mags.do

You already have all the information model and serial number so what else are you looking for? A good source for numbers manufactured and dates is the Blue Book of Firearms Values. You can have any local gun dealer or gunsmith look this up for you.

Setting double trigger on a cz rifle trigger

One of the triggers is the actual trigger, the other is the set trigger which lowers the trigger pull. The set trigger has a screw to adjust the sear and trigger engagement. Adjusting this by turning the screw inward reduces both trigger pull effort and the distance the trigger moves when pressed. I strongly urge that you either consult the manual for your rifle before making any trigger adjustments. If you are not confident you know what you are doing you should take this rifle to a gunsmith in your area for adjustment.

I need to find one screw for my stevens 350 pump shotgun. This screw connects the action to the trigger assembly. Does anybody know where I can get it?

There are sources for older firearms parts. If you know the length, diameter, and thread type/pitch you can try Brownells. Also, Gun Parts Corporation also knows as Numrich Arms has tons of small parts for older out of production guns.

Where is serial no on cooey 64 22cal auto LR can't find one

Your rifle was probably manufactured at a time when serializing was only done on larger caliber guns. Many .22lr rifles have no serial number so I wouldn't expect to find one. At one time the model 64 was manufactured by Cooey, Winchester or Lakeland, so the roll stamp on the barrel at the chamber end is your best bet in refining the information you have. There are a dozen manufacturers firearms dating from the 1900 through 1967 that did not serialize small bore guns because it was not required by law. The National Firearms Act of 1967 put an end to that - now every firearms produced for sale in the US has to be serialized.

What year was a Browning A5 12ga an 8m24935 made?

Browning customer service can provide you with an answer as well as who the original purchaser was (the gun store). That customer will probably have the record as to whom the original retail purchaser was and the date of sale.

I have a small frame 7 shot 22 Cal. break top H&R revolver. I was told my grandfather carried it in WWI. Serial# 371177. I would like to know the manufacture date and if it was an Army issue.

James Decoding H&R serial numbers is not easy and it takes up quite a bit of the H&R book as different models usually have seperate serial number series. gererally speaking there were three types of serial number series. Pre 1905 (1904 and before) which were more like batch numbers and usually ran from 1 to 99,999. on some models there was a different series every year. Post 1904 (1905 to 1939) one single series starting at 1 and going into the middle 6 digits (some third model auto-ejecting revolvers have been observed with number in the 800,000 range. Ift here does not look like there are any markings on the left side of the barrel other than the caliber this would be the premier model fitted with extra cost oversize grips and 6 inch barrel. during the same time (1925-1934)frame H&R offered this revolver as the H&R TARGET (aka model 766) the only difference was H&R Target was marked on the barrel. by the time the premier model was fitted with a longer barrel and oversize grips the cost was about the same for the two models. the offering of the H&R Target model was just another way to try to sell more revolver. factory serial numbers are not available for this model so i believe this revolver was manufactured before the H&R Target was introduced in 1924 (most likely 1920 to 1923) below is information of both models. H&R PREMER SECOND MODEL SMALL FRAME TOP BREAK R.F. & C.F. ----------1905-1941 Small fame double action top break revolver with double top post barrel latch; calibers and cylinder capacity, 22 rimfire-7 rounds, 32 S&W, 5 rounds; automatic cylinder stop; standard finish Nickel with case harden hammer and barrel latch; standard barrel length 3 inches, with 2, 4, 5 and 6 inches available as optional; HAS CALIBER MARKINGS ON LEFT SIDE OF BARREL WAS MANUFACTURED FOR SMOKELESS POWDER CARTRIDGE PRESSURES. There has not been enough data gathered on serial number to try to come up with a serial number range for the different variations. First Variation, model name & caliber marked on left side of barrel, patent dates 5-14-89, 4-2-95, 4-7-96---------------1905-Only Second Variation, model name & caliber marked on left side of barrel, patent dates 4-2-95, 4-7-96-------------------1906-1908 Third Variation, caliber only marked on left side of barrel, patent date 10-8-95-------1909-1913 Fourth Variation, caliber only marked on left side of barrel, no patent date, state not spelled out in address (MASS)---------1914-1915 Fifth Variation, caliber only marked on left side of barrel same as 4th except different font used in barrel markings----------1914-1915 Sixth Variation, caliber only marked on left side of barrel. State name in barrel marking spelled out (MASSACHUSETTS)-----1916-1924 Seventh Variation, new grip frame, there is no step down for the grip panels to fit into-----1925-1942 After 1930 listed in catalogs as; PREMIER No. 30 .22 Rimfire 7 shot & PREMIER No. 35.32 S&W 5 shot VALUE: 100%=$265 60%=$75 Add 10% premium for blue finish; 20% premium 4", 5" or 6" barrel; 20% premium for 22 rimfire caliber; 10% premium for 7th variation If this is a top break it is a H&R Premier model manufactured in the 1924 to 1930 era or one of its variations. if it is a solid frame model it is a model 1906 or one of its variations manufactured in the 1932 to 1937 era. without a picture or knowning the exact markings i can't give you an exact model. 1940 and after letter codes used to denote year of manufacture. starting with A in 1940 and going to BC in 1986. Caliber markings on the side of the barrel ALWAYS indicate 1905 or after manufacture. when H&R made the switch to smokeless powder in 1905 they started marking the caliber on the left side of the barrel of all their handguns. no caliber markings = black powder, caliber markings = smokeless powder. Please keep in mind that H&R did not always obey their own rules and there are exception to every rule. during 1890 though 1904 H&R was manufacturing so many top break revolvers they starting using a letter code after 100,000 had been reached. these letter code were stamped along with the serial number on the bottom of the top strap (the cylinder had to be removed to see this location). Hammerless Bicycle models (1899-1920). the caliber markings and 6 digit serial number indicate it is a second model and if in good condition it should be safe with modern ammo. the bicycle hammerless (small frame, 2 inch barrel) is serial numbered in the same series as the regular small frame hammerless model.
