I've been attempting to contact Tru-Ivory Bar/S/Grips for over three weeks now and have had no replies to emails or phone calls. Does anyone know if they are still in business or take some time off in the summer? I really like their ivory substitute but I'm losing hope I want to do business with...

Waiting for my Winchester M70 Featherweight in 30-06 to arrive and just ordered the Leupold double dovetail bases to mount a Leupold VX-2 3-9X40. I went with the 3-9X40, as opposed to the 2.5-8X36 because I really want a clean looking mount with nothing hanging over the ejection port or...

Hello everyone, I just purchased a Win. M70 Featherweight Grade III, in 30-06 that will ship in a few days. My question is about how different "grade III" wood is from non-grade III or from "super grade." When I search for grade 3 it seems all I get are super-grade pics. What can you tell me...

I went to a dealer today to put money down on a Model 70 Featherwieght, 30-06 and there were none available, this from a major national distributor. I have read that Win. is now making the M70 in South Carolina. Is that a very recent event in the life of Winchester? Has there just not been...

I want a Win. M70 short action, 22" barrel, in stainless but I also want the model 70 wood stock. Since they don't sell it that way, which stainless model 70s would fit the factory FEATHERWEIGHT Short Action Sporter Rifle Stock? Would the m70 Extreme Weather SS, Ultimate Shadow SS, or Shadow...

The problem is that I have always wanted a rifle in 260 Remington. When I was first getting into hunting, a long time ago, Remington had a mountain rifle in 260. I thought it was one of the most beautiful rifles ever. Well, I ended up with a 30-06 700 instead for all the right reasons and have...

Well here she is, my commander length S&W 1911PD. I got her bobtailed and I am absolutely amazed at how nice she is to carry. I really wondered how much difference this would make. The holster is an Andrew's MacDaniel with the sweat shield...the best, most comfortable IWB holster I've ever...

I posted a thread a few days ago of my range report of my new S&W 1911PD. I replace the stock grips, screws and studs with a thin grip kit from Fusion Firearms. The thin grips are amazing as the stock grips were really LARGE. The pics are terrible and really washed out the nice grain of the...

Just picked up (yesterday) a Smith & Wesson 1911PD, a light weight commander style 1911 from S&W. As a point of reference I have a full size 1911 Springer Trophy Match and an STI Edge, and I shoot around 3k rounds a year in uspsa with the Edge. I also CCW with various smaller guns, mostly a...

Is anyone familiar with a kydex type holster that works well for on the belt ccw. I've been looking at pancake holsters and want something that will hold the firearm in tight. I'm looking for something for either a KelTec PF9 or a Smith M&P full size. Actually if anyone has a pancake they...

I prefer to carry OWB and have a holster a desantis that I use for the PF9 but it wasn't made for it so I want to get a new holster. What do you holster your PF9 in and how well does it keep it tucked in tight to your side?

If I found a Remy 700 short action beater and wanted to rebarrel it in a different caliber (same parent case head ie. 308 to 260) could I do it myself or is there some kind of expensive gunsmith only tools you must have? I've built ARs and have had great fun doing it and am a tinkerer by nature...

I really enjoy tinkering and building. I've completely rebuilt my AR and I'm looking for another project. I would like to end up with a rifle chambered in 260 Rem. So, what do I start with? Do I buy a cheap Mauser and rebarrel, restock, retrigger and refinish it? Can you convert a receiver...

I have decided that I really want a Rem 700 in 260 Remington...PLEASE do not make this thread about all the other rifles I should consider, I know what I want. My question is about the barrels on the Rem. 700. I want a barrel no shorter than 22" and no longer than 24". I also do not want...

Well, in my seemingly never ending holster search I just discovered the PagerPal Concealed Carry holster: http://www.concealedcomfort.com/ I looks very interesting and I figure my new Kel-tec PF-9 would ride in it quite nicely. BUT...I need to hear from some folk who are using one. Tell me...

I need to remove the barrel and feed tube on a Win. Model 94 1966 Commemorative to take it to the refinisher. Can I do it myself or do I need a gunsmith? I've taken all of my pistols apart and polished the parts and always have gotten them back together and working better than new, so I'm...

A friend of mine has a 1966 commemorative Winchester Model 94...I think that is the right model. Its a shooter not a collectible. He has had it for over 20 years and the barrel and feed tube need rebluing. I would like to take the barrel and tube off to deliver it to the refinisher but I...

Man I love new guns:D

Thought I'd give it a try. Turns out you can do wonders with a woodburning set! Here's my STI And the M&P More pics in the gunsmithing & repairs threads.

Had fun today...decided to try my hand at stippling the grips on the STI and the M&P. I'm happy with the results! First, I practiced on an AR Grip Then worked on the M&P grip insert. I worked on the rear grip insert first. Then my son decided he liked the round/dot stippling and came...
