    Blaser & Korth firearms

    I ask this question out of pure inquisitiveness: What justifies the high cost of these brands? Anything I see on GB or other auction sites are, without exception, priced sky-high. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t see Korths labeled as something like “the finest revolvers in the world”...

    Beautiful...or atrocious?.

    I know that beauty is in the eye of the beerholder, but I can’t decide whether this is ‘beautifully atrocious’...or ‘atrociously beautiful’: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/779276291 Sam

    Is it worth it to convert a .380 to 9mm Makarov?

    Lonewolf is offering barrels to convert a Ruger lcp .380 to 9mm Makarov... Forget the cost, would it be worth it to make the conversion, from a defensive ccw point-of-view, in terms of terminal ballistics?? Sam

    A Red guy went Blue

    This is not to bash, in any way; it is simply to explain why I changed from a Hornady Lock-& Load progressive to a Dillon Turret Press. I learned to reload on a Hornady single stage press, which I still have & still use. ALL of the dies I have ever bought, are Hornady's, with the exception of...

    N. Korean threat of EMP

    After reading One Second After by William Forstchen (with an eye-opening Foreword by Newt Gingrich on the report congress received), the thought of what an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) could very realistically do to our nation's power grid & virtually...everything electronic, I've kinda had it...

    Who makes Abalone grips?

    I showed a pic of abalone grips to my wife and she just about drooled over 'em! The problem is, while I can find pictures of them, I can't seem to find who makes them... I have used the "Search" function and didn't find any info as to who might make them. I went through every grip link in...

    Sight options for Glock Mdl. 40

    I am in the market for a Glock Model 40 10mm for hunting; I already have a 9":eek: Lone Wolf barrel for it, and I am trying to decide on what optic to get. I am leaning toward the Trijicon RMR Dual-Illuminated 9.0 or 12.9 MOA Green Dot...Maybe the Amber Dot - would really appreciate some...

    Glock 43 in CA: Austrian or American-does it matter?

    A crazy question, but since it pertains to California, it makes sense that they would think this way. I live in Idaho and I want to GIFT a Glock 43 to my nephew who lives in California, in celebration of he & his wife's 1st child. I will be visiting soon and want to personally hand it to him...

    What I did today, the day after America saved itself.

    I shamelessly admit to speculating, this election cycle I don't really have much interest in AR's, but last month, I bought 2 of them. I also bought 50, 30-round magazines and 5000 rounds of .223 ammo; I told my wife last night that if Hellary wins, I'll be at the gunstore tomorrow when they...

    Need help, helping a widow

    A friend of mine passed away and his wife has asked me to help her with all of his reloading stuff. He had tons of brass, some new & a lot of that had been shot, in multiple calibers along with too many to list bullets, primers, dies, powders, & a couple of presses-1 single stage & 1...

    Nice Magazine score on a road trip!

    School me on "Pinned & Recessed"

    I have recently acquired a Pinned & Recessed S&W 57. I kinda know the advantages/desirability of a P&R'd revolver...but if I had to explain them to someone, I don't think I could. Can you please school me on this? Thanks in advance, Sam

    Posting feedback for Gunbroker

    I'm curious to other's positions on posting feedback on Gunbroker. As a Seller, I post IMMEDIATELY after receiving the payment from the Buyer, which, of course, means even before they've received whatever I've sold them. I believe that posting feedback first, is incumbent on the...

    Is my S&W Model 60 a round butt?

    I think I know the answer, but am not 100% certain. I have a new S&W Model 60 Pro; I believe it is a round butt frame, but don't really know how to tell for sure, or how to tell the difference between a round butt & a square butt frame. Thanks for any help. Sam

    Monte Carlo on a '94?

    I have run across a guy with a Winchester Model 94 that has what I can only call a Monte Carlo buttstock. Has anyone ever seen one a '94 from the factory with anything like that? I have only ever seen either a straight grip or a pistol grip stock on one. Thanks, Sam

    Mech Tech CCU in .460 Rowland--anyone have any experience??

    A friend of mine is looking at a Mech Tech CCU (Carbine Conversion Unit) in .460 Rowland. I've searched, but can't find where anyone has had one of these units in this caliber. I've read about the strain being more on the slide & lugs (Old Fuff) than necessarily on the frame, but...
