Read a good article on the 7600P that indicated they were getting MOA groups with the right ammo and a good scope. That's certainly accurate enough for me. I'm wondering about modifications to it though. Having never had a 7600, I wonder if the folding stocks meant for an 870 shotgun would be...

Oh well. I don't care if anyone knows I have it or not. Wasn't going to fuss with the folks since I need to get there and get the accessories too. Here in my area of Kentucky it's just fill out the form, the call is made free, and go on your way with your new addition. 10 minutes and it's a done...

As a strong Ruger man, I jumped at the chance to buy a 7.5 inch LNIB stainless Old Army with a .45 Colt aftermarket cylinder too at a great price. Ruger Forum members, thanks again for the help and guidance. Not a BP shooter ever before, I'd like to buy appropriate accessories too when I go to...

Oops. That's "friend", not fried. He and I both missed that one. Thanks.

Thanks all. The finish on the High Standard is just the regular black.

Hi and thanks. I guess what I was thinking of was that they maybe didn't give them a model number back then. Typed "pre K" not thinking. Thanks!

A good friend was recently gifted two revolvers by an aging fried. We're trying to find dates of manufacture and possible values. First is a Smith and Wesson .38 special with 4 inch taper barrel. Looks to be a pre-k frame. Serial number "C 355XX". Looks to be 80-85 percent condition. Old style...

Rupestris- Would advise you not to install a large capacity detachable soap cannister or a bayonet to the wand....

I'm concerned that a gun like this would cause my garden hose to be reclassified as a fully automatic weapon subject to the provisions of a new NFA (National Firehose Act?).

Back last year as the "ban" died I bought a new Vector UZI carbine (Group Ind receiver, semi-auto) with the folding stock. Enjoyed it a great deal, and put several hundred rounds thru it before my interests changed. Is now a safe queen. A friend may be interested in it since he can shoot pistol...

I have always agreed with stocking up on essentials. One thing I seldom see mentioned in supplies lists on this board, and one which can make life for our female co-survivors much less traumatic, are personal hygiene products (pads, etc). I would rate these right up with toilet paper, toothpaste...

Moderators please move this as appropriate. I am unsure what is APS.:confused:

Just returned from the store for a few last minute items. Crowded to say the least. Quite offensive were the folks who apparently had had big breakfasts and thoughtlessly eructated large, all-encompassing belch clouds I was unable to avoid as I worked my way through the checkout. I always try to...

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool revolver guy. I realize the jump from the cylinder to the forcing cone of the barrel is a hindrance to revolver accuracy when compared to the consistant positioning of the single chamber and barrel unit of an auto, but has anyone ever really quantified loss of accuracy on...

Hey Grand Inquisitor-- Here's something that would combine BOTH your hobbies (Star Trek and shooting). My wife has from the 1960's a target shooting game with a Star Trek theme. Picture of the Enterprise with Kirk, Spock and I think McCoy inside a 9 inch or so target circle with points assigned...
