Twice when I lived in Utah (1 for speeding and 1 DUI checkpoint) and once after I moved to AR. In UT I handed over my permit with DL and nothing was said either time. In AR the pistol was in plain sight on the passenger side floor and I told the cop there was a gun on the floor. Nothing more was...

Your stock has some nice grain. The metal on mine is so bad there's no point to worrying much about having better wood.

A couple years back I ordered an M1 Carbine from the CMP. I had heard that they were scraping the bottom of the barrel on these and I should not expect to get a pretty one. Boy, more prophetic words were never spoken. When the rifle arrived it was pretty bad. Worse, it took so dang long...

I'll throw in a couple bucks. Your fight is our fight. Good luck.

Subsonic? Somebody dug out of a closet somewhere. The situation will eventually improve. Patience.

I have several rifles in 8x57 but I would not choose to build a custom gun in any 8mm bore size. Why do an 8mm? There are far better choices in other calibers when it comes to bullet selection and cost. Compare what's available in .308 to the .323 selection. Compare costs. Makes no sense to me...

The Krag is flat out one of the coolest rifles ever made. The price on this one seems a tad high to me but no worries about owning and shooting a Krag.

They are lighter than the other set.

Like a lot of guys in the 1970s and 1980s I read the work of Skeeter Skelton. He most often carried a 5" M27 or a 4" 44 Special 1950 Target Model (Fourth Model Target 44 Special). I was certainly influenced by his taste in revolvers and wanted similar pistols. The 27 was no problem. The 5"...

The 99 has panache. That was a great price.

Well, if anybody has been trying to find an HD or an OD now they know why there don't seem to be any available.

I don't have a nickel 38/44 so how about a 1929 W&K 44 Special? Wish it had some carved pearl stocks...

Wasn't the lowest grade.

CA's restrictive laws have been upheld several times in the courts. How should we expect a different outcome?

Looks great. I remain the only one who ever got an ugly rifle from the CMP.
