    Pocket SA .380

    So. So I got that itch. A new gun might could be in my future. As all of you might have surmised, there could be leanings towards a pocket .380. Of the single action variety. I’ve pretty well narrowed it down to the Colt Mustang Pocketlite or the Kimber Micro .380 (base model, either...

    Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine

    So I did the unthinkable and bought a farby reproduction (Auto-Ordnance/Kahr, 2017 brand-spankin’ new) M1 Carbine. Field stripped, cleaned, lubed. Factory mag + 3 of the respected Koreans. I am at right around 100 rounds, give or take, and have run into an issue. From the get-go, FMJ...

    Quick question about "Modelo 1937"

    So I have one of the Brazillian contract 1917s. If the info I have found is correct, the serial number (203xxx, the 3 might be a 5. Hard to tell, it's been parkerized, but I'm 95% positive it's a 3) puts it in the first batch that went out before all production shifted to the war effort. I...

    Refinished single action grips

    Emboldened by a thread either here or on TFL wherein someone antiqued their matte finished single action, coupled with a lovely break from he heat last week, I headed out to the workshop to deal with the "Uberti Red." Started with the 1860 Army, stripped with Citristip, then 0000 steel wool...

    Cimarron gun leather?

    Does anyone here have any experience with the aforementioned Cimarron gun leather? Specifically the shoulder rig for the Thunderer? The pics I've seen seem to be of fine quality, lined and everything. Somehow I have it in my head that they are made by El Paso Saddlery, though I'm not sure how I...

    CMP

    So, I plan to order an M1 through the CMP. I lack a passport, despite my dear wife's protestations. I am eagerly awaiting a copy of my birth certificate from the great state of Texas. Will the CMP accept a photocopy of said document, in order that I may use the quasi-original to obtain said...

    Probable deal of a lifetime

    So there is a possibility that I might could buy an Argentine FM Hi Power for $200. It is an estate liquidation of sorts, and the other examples that I have seen (Glock 19 + Charter 4" .44 Special Bulldog for $300) have been immaculate. I might, just to seal the deal, be willing to go up to...
