Price sounds good assuming good condition and I always vote yes on the 6906.

Not surprised to hear it. Yeah, if you see the fast, friendly service they give on just $20 transfers, you wonder what other stores excuses are for their "customer service".

It's like when you go to a casino and you meet up with your friends later and they ask how you did and you say "broke even" which means "nobody saw me lose all my money". But I do believe most guns are more accurate than they'll get credit for in the hands of many shooters. One thing that...

Sorry to hear that. Was it a case of shooting smokeless loads in an old black powder rated gun?

People placing ads in SGN have to do so some time in advance so the caveat makes more sense, since you place your order at some random time in the future. In the case of your in-store purchase, I wouldn't accept that. It's pretty much the same as if he called you up today and told you bring some...

Given the full-on Bowen treatment, I would go for it myself. Assuming you're not going to sell it either way, I wouldn't care about resale value. If you want to "fall in love with the gun", the work done as much as the caliber would do it for me. As others have stated, check with Bowen on...

I have one from when they brought these back (71B prefix serial numbers) and it is great. I like a plain 1911 and all I've done to it is change the wood out for ivory. The fit on mine is fantastic. It's so smooth and right that it really makes you believe the Colt hype. A GI style...

Are you claiming this happened to you? :)

I like a stainless Colt, 1991 style (plain, just good sights).

mainmech, you can buy the Swiss Products diopter set shown at Brownells and Grafs, maybe elsewhere also. I have a set on one of my K-31s.

I don't know how the Express round is selling, but if we're thinking of other options for Marlin, how about another run of stainless 1894cs?

As you suggest, the rifle sights should make any inconsistencies in sight alignment more obvious, but with the peep/GR sights, if you're focusing on the sight alignment there's a good chance you might not be letting the rear sight do its thing.
