So this summer, I will be flying from Los Angeles to Anchorage, taking a shuttle from Anchorage to McCarthy, AK; and then taking a bushplane out into the backcountry of Wrangell-St. Elias NP. Somehow, I need my Beretta to follow me all the way out there. I will be flying into Anchorage early in...
Yeah, that was what I was thinking, something that can accept a .22 upper (sorry, wrong terminology). Unfortunately the Robinson is proprietary and they don't make a .22 upper :(
Howdy,
I'm looking to make my first foray into rifles. After browsing around a lot, I see some things I like, but never everything I like in one place. Since I'm sure ya'll will know a lot more than I can glean from the internet, here's what I'm looking for:
- Convertible from 5.56 NATO...
I'm a lightweight backpacker, and my favorite carry is a Beretta 950 "Jetfire". It's still the lightest gun I've yet seen (328 grams loaded) and it's reliable as taxes, even dirty. The ability to half-cock it means I can confidently carry it with a round chambered. I just need to work on the...

SharpsDressedMan: My grandmother (who is still with us) very clearly remembers buying the M1911 in Idaho and shipping it to him. Thus I'm sure he didn't 'liberate' it, although someone else may have. It had some Colt commercial documentation with it when he died, but I don't know if he bought...
Thanks guys. It may well have been an old M2 Carbine with its gas-operation parts gummed up, because I vaguely remember it being capable of automatic fire. Hard to say for sure though. He was not an officer at this point, but I don't know what rank he held then.
Howdy,
I recently inherited a government M1911 from my grandfather. I remember (poorly) the story of how the weapon got into the family, but am trying to fill in the details, which I hope ya'll can help with.
My grandfather was drafted early in the Korean war. He shipped over after the...
