I agree. While my HK45 was outstanding (I have since sold it, only because it was redundant and I could put that money towards other guns), my FNX 45 is just as good for a lot less money. The FNX instantly became my "house gun" and is what sits on my nightstand when I go to bed. I must say that...

As someone pointed out, a nice 1903 stock has some value. If the rifle has no sentimental value to you then break it up and list the stock on some of the various forums and auction sites. You're spot-on with the safety issue. I would only shoot custom, lower-pressure loads out of a sub-800k...

Nice. I've always liked that stock.

I've "laid hands" on a pistol several times but I've never actually displayed it to the threat. The most recent was early last year with a good-sized drunk dude making threats to me and two others. He had armed himself with a 4' long 2x4 and he was quite enraged. Thankfully he was all bluster...

Tell that to the people who've been gored. That particular one I encountered certainly was.... The vast, vast, vast majority of people we encounter aren't aggressive either. And yet we still carry for protection. It's not about odds or probability....it's about reality. You don't wait to be...

The boar that we encountered (again, on the other side of a fence) was the only aggressive animal I've some across. The bear I crossed paths with simply stopped, looked at me, and then casually wandered off. The pig was in a very high state of agitation with its hair standing up on its back...

As someone who has worked in firearm sales in the past (and occasionally still do) it was easy for me to sell and ARMSCOR 1911. My own Citadel 3.5" was my preferred carry while on the job (in the shop or at a gun show) and what better way to advertise. Nothing but positive customer feedback for...

I go camping and/or offroad riding several times a year here in S. Florida and have had a bear encounter. The rangers down here tell me they've tagged more than one 500-ponder, although the one I encountered was probably only half that size. Dangerous enough in my book. I carry my .357 loaded...

Bingo

I'm a Gunbroker vulture. I'll sit and wait and watch for a good deal on a weapon that I'm looking for. Plenty of No.4 Mk. 1s out there for varying prices. Be patient as they come and go all the time. Eventually one will "fall between the cracks" and wind up in your hands.

I put a XS Big Dot on my LCR 357. Makes target acquisition pretty easy.

I picked up my '43 on Gunbroker last year for $299 shipped.

I only need 2 lowers because I only need 2 configurations - a pistol and a rifle. In my case, adding more lowers would only be a redundant cost whose only justification would be a minor convenience (i.e. not spending less than a minute swapping uppers). I don't need different grips, triggers, or...

I don't need Jeff Cooper (i.e. "God" to some people) telling me what I'm supposed to like or not like. I'm sure Mr. Cooper's course of action would have been the same if he were facing someone armed with a .380 ACP or someone armed with a .44 magnum.

This is my M70. Like the one pictured above, I had no problem finding a Balkan surplus forgrip for it as well as a pistol grip. Stainless bolt and carrier, virtually no mag wobble....I gotta say it's a little nicer than any WASR I've owned, and I've been happy with my WASRs. Definitely worth...
