    Taurus Gaucho Missing Cylinder Bushing

    I've had 4 Gauchos, and 1 had an issue where the bushing came off in cleaning. Either I cleaned it too much, or the others not enough. Didn't lose it though, and I keep an eye on it from now on.

    My son made a gun comment in school...

    I preempted such a note with a face to face discussion with my kids teachers at the beginning of the year. I highly recommend the face-to-face discussion. It allows a quick dialogue between you and the educator. I also followed up with the principal of the school. Yes its a shame that we...

    GSG-5, a good 22 LR plinker?

    Yeah, its a lot of fun, and pretty accurate. I fed mine CCIs during break in, and it'll run just about anything now.

    Where to get a FIRING replica of a Colt Peacemaker?

    Colt, USFA, Uberti all still make 1873 SAAs (peacemakers). Ruger Vaquero is also an option. Just go down to your local gunstore and ask for one.

    Nations Gun Show: Dulles, VA

    I picked up a 1st Anniversary GSG-5 with the shiny receiver and a Lancay M9. Also some pink boa scarf for my daughter who was in tow. She wanted a Cricket...but she's not quite ready. Next year though.

    Hardest kicking gun you've ever shot?

    Had a Beretta O/U go double-bang on me once. That's about the hardest recoil I've ever felt in a long gun. Maybe the time I used Federal's tactical OO Buck out of an IAC 1887 Lever action. Old fashioned recoil system of wood, steel, and shoulder.

    Buying From a Friend

    This is an excellent idea. I've done it a few times, and it's worked out very well for everyone.
