i have been paranoid about shooting a day or so before flying out of the airport especially when they used to have the machine that blasts a puff of air at you(that machine was shortlived at the TSA). does it matter? with nice weather it would be nice to shoot up until a trip if i wanted to. as...

i have used 45 ACP MBC 230 gr RN hitek coated softball for several yrs. the loads that work in my 1911 and sig 220 don't feed well in my cz97b so i've learned what COAL works for the CZ. i was still working through the last of my prepandemic 230 gr rn bullets and started on a box from 5/2021...

in case one is interested in 5.5 inch upper without a bolt. there are some available with volquartsen currently. not quite $25 which i heard about before. they are $40 each. i have a competition mark 4 that i put the accurizing kit in and was planning on putting a red dot on but i figured if i...

went by the lgs after a range session and saw a RIA 5.0E. i never had a chance to see the first version which i was quite interested in around a $1000. the gun looks nice. it does have a huge RIA5.0E at the side. racking the slide is smooth. the trigger feels fairly light but i wouldn't call the...

the only pinned and recessed smith that i have is a beat up m17. i saw this 19-4 that looked fairly clean. 5 chambers .356 1 chamber .357 BC gap .006. i only noticed as i am buying it that the previous owner scribed his SS# on the frame beneath the cylinder with crappy handwriting as well. i...

there's a gun buyback that is paying $300 for a long gun. i assume a basic ruger 10/22 carbine would qualify. my lgs would certainly give me much less if i were to trade it in. no particular memories with the gun. they wouldn't care if it came without magazines. i can then spend that money for a...

i was interested in the new anaconda but figured it might be easier on developing arthritis in future yrs to go with the python. it is a beautiful gun but i hope the DA pull lightens up a bit. it is smooth but on the heavy side compared to a 586 with a 12 lb rebound slide spring. as everybody...

i saw an email from grab a gun. for those wanting an SA 35 for $699 your day has come. don't know how much they have in stock though and of course it is not like getting one from the lgs where you can examine it.

what is a good price on a smith model 29-2 6.5". i saw one in the lgs. very clean , probably not shot much, turn line not too bad, minor scratch on cylinder and worn bluing on top of the front sight. timing seems to be good and no trigger pushoff. sideplate looks like it has been taken off with...

for those that don't get their email check it out. i can't avail of it now. cci spp $70.even with hazmat buying a few offsets a $90 price i bought at cabelas 2 weeks ago for winchester spp.

i was googling a firearm and came across this site. had a sale on a firearm i was interested in. checked out primers and the prices were NOT too good to be true and cheaper than a lot of sites. couldn't see what paymenet they accept and didn't get an answer from their chat box. has anybody done...

another great video by sootch00 with a gunsmith going over the ria 5.0. you get a better idea of how the gun unlocks the locking block. didnt show how the trigger mechanism works maybe that is common knowledge. i can't wait to see this gun in my lgs. i hope the machining on the main production...

received an email today. 2 types of primers available neither of which interest me but if you are getting powder as well somebody might benefit from this promo.

bought a couple of revolvers from the lgs yesterday. original price was $580 and was able to have them drop it down to $550 with me buying the other revolver. a lot of wear and some external pitting but the cylinder and bore looks good. so for both revolvers the average price was $475 for the...

saw an old blued revolver in my LGS tagged as premodel 10. has a 6 inch barrel with adjustable sights. i think it's a k38. has a screw at the top of the sideplate, which i saw in one revolver article was discontinued in 1955. the hammer is wide . i think it's a target hammer but appears nickel...

now for the sad part... only allowed to buy 200. ar least the price wasn't so bad. $5.19/100 remington spp from sportsman's warehouse. it just happened to be on my way. i am not going to drive an hour round trip to see if i can buy 200 more tomorrow.

i have assumed that buying used guns from a gunshop that the firearms serial numbers have been checked to see that they are not stolen. I have bought several used guns over the years all from a gunshop as i assumed that this was the case. I have always kept my receipts and a photocopy of the...

i see this spp is available at powder valley for the sale price of $80 per 1000. too rich for my blood unless i see it locally for that price to try. anybody with experience using it.

i hope none of us in this forum will ever leave behind guns in this fashion. i wonder what circumstances led to the unit being abandoned. the rifles looked so clean and the ammo oh the ammo...

i have a loaded m1a that i have had for maybe 6 yrs. it doesn't get shot a lot. i think over the years i have taken it apart 3-4 times including yesterday. first when i got the rifle to see how it goes, 2nd after a couple of hundred and with replacing the guide rod with sadlak guide rod, maybe...
