If you don't already have an AR, you should get one. I can't imagine a rifle that is more fun; consider the tack-driving accuracy, ease of maintenance, and reliability bonuses. As for putting one together, pop in two pins and save yourself a couple of hundred bucks.

As near as I can tell, the 1936-1942 EG was virtually identical to the earlier E, which is why I can't understand the price disparity between the two. Both were very nice guns, much nicer than the post-war E models. The only difference between the 1920-1936 E and the 1936-1942 EG that I can find...

You guys are correct about the later "E" models, but there was an earlier E made between 1920 and 1936. It was the base gun, a non-takedown model. I think it had the brass counter. It was the most common version during that period. They dropped it from the linup after they introduced the EG...

I'm sending mine in, but I plan to wait until it gets cold enough so that I can wear a jacket big enough to conceal a larger gun.

They quit building the Es for awhile in 1936. If I recall correctly, they started building the Es again after the war, either in '46 or in the 50s. Mine is an EG in .300 Savage and was built either in late 1936 or early 1937. I haven't been able to find out exactly what the difference between...

Does anyone know why a 99EG sells for almost twice the price of a 99E? I have a first-year 99EG and while checking the price I saw that EGs sold for almost twice what Es sold for.

I'm not complaining--mine is a early .300-Savage EG model (built in late 1936-early 1937, according to the serial number calculator at Savage Shooters). I'd never sell it, but I was killing time and decided to see what they were going for and I noticed that the EG models were selling for around...

I put 50 rounds through mine every couple of weeks, meaning I must be well over 700 rounds without a problem. Maybe I got lucky, but it seems to be a well-built pistol. I did have a bit of trouble with the last couple of mags I ran through it the other night. I hadn't cleaned the gun for about...

The problem with shooting .38 rounds was that there would get to be so much carbon built up in the end of the chamber that it would become almost impossible to load the longer .357 rounds. The only way to clean the chambers was with a dremel tool.

I had a 605C (compensated). It was a very nice gun to shoot and amazingly accurate. I even enjoyed shooting it with hot .357 loads. It had a couple of problems, though. The screw for the slide release kept backing out, even when I used Loktite. Worse, the brass didn't sit tight enough in the...

My wife has a lot of trouble with Sig controls, but I like them. I much prefer the Sig controls to the controls on my CZ75B. I like having a decocker, and I find the slide release much more intuitive to use.

No takers on the CZ-Glock swap, eh?

Business has been a little slow lately and I hesitate to buy anything right now, but I've been looking for a gun just like this for a long time. I may have to put it on my Cabella's card.

Jeff from Gunblast discussed this on Glock Talk. He said he only devotes space to products that he likes. The stuff he doesn't like doesn't get reviewed on the site. That's what I used to do when I reviewed motorcycle gear for magazines. I figured why waste limited space giving publicity to...

I have a mint CZ75B that I'll gladly trade for a Glock 17 or 19 in similar condition, if anyone wants to put his or her money where his or her mouth is.
