I got an email notice from Beretta that they had Beretta 81 mags in stock - that there had been a new shipment. Came out at noon today, and by the time I saw it and looked at 12:20...out of stock. Hopefully they will be bringing in more...

I bought the below Triple-Lock a couple of weeks ago in an auction. It is one of the British WW1 contract and is serial number 225. It is in nice shape, but has had the cylinder (455 Webley) shaved to handle 45 Auto Rim cartridges. I have been wanting one for years, and I wanted a shooter...

I posted a question a while back about travelling with a firearm to Chicago for my daughter's wedding, and got some good advice here. I have another question. I currently live in Texas and am planning to retire in about 15-18 months to the Chicago area. Based on research, I will NOT be...

Saw this article in the Washington Post today. Fact checking Marco Rubio's statement. Interesting...

From today's (Nov 14) Houston Chronicle editorial page: "Visible holsters Open carry in Texas becomes effective on Jan. 1 — we’ll have to get used to it. If you decide to take a stroll around your neighborhood park after the new year, don’t be alarmed to observe a young woman...

It is possible that I might be moving from Texas to IL in the next couple of years (long story) when I retire. I would not be moving to Chicago, but just North of there outside (barely) of Cook County. I have a gun collection of about 80 or 90 items - mostly S&W revolvers, but also have an...

This past Sunday morning was one of those few, GLORIOUS days in Houston, Texas. 65 degrees and low humidity. I got up and made my breakfast about 7:15AM. I was sitting inside the house at the dining room table, with the double French doors wide open about 3 feet away. The next thing I...

I am driving to my daughters wedding in Chicago in a few weeks from Texas. After going to handgunlaws.us website, this is what it appears is the situation. (I have a Texas CHL) Whether I drive via TX-AR-MO-IL...or TX-LA-MS-TN-KY-IL, my Texas permit is valid in any of the states except IL...

OK - here's a weird situation. Tonight I went to my mailbox and there was a small flat-rate box with the address of an auction house I have recently done business with - I had won a pistol in an auction about 3 weeks ago, and received the item about 10 days ago. This box was obviously heavy...

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but after googling, all of the answers seem to be 4 or 5 years old... I am going to my daughter's wedding next summer (2015) from Texas and will be driving up. I will be stopping in Chicago and will be there for 3 or 4 days. IL law seems to say...

Sorry for a rambling post to follow. I was doing an inventory of my handguns a couple of weeks ago, and like a lot of you, I tend to buy, but not sell much. I realized when I actually thought about it that I have a lot more than I need or (gasp) really want. When I first got into...

I have a really dumb question. What would you call these thingies that you put blue on with? And after that, where would you buy some. I've got plenty of blue, and really like using these little things, but have no idea what you'd call these. Thanks. (or if you have a suggestion for...

I ran across this police holster rig in an auction a couple of weeks ago, and had a feeling that my Houston Police Department-marked Colt Army Special might fit right in it...it does - perfectly. The Colt is a 1927 model, and wondered if anyone had any idea as to the age of this holster, belt...

I was given a box of old gun parts and some black powder stuff to get rid of for someone. I have done so, but remaining is a couple of thousand percussion caps in sizes 10, 11 and 12. Also a couple of hundred caps for musket. These have been in storage for 35 - 40 years. I have not shot...

A friend of mine found this barrel in amongst some stuff of his great uncle's, who was a big black powder shooter many years ago. This man passed away between 35 and 40 years ago, so the barrel is at least that old. It was in the original box from Numrich and shows an insurance value of $54...

I ran across this item selling in an auction today, and thought maybe this needs a whole new category. Frankly, it looks like what my daughter used to do with beads and glue with her cell phone 10 years ago, but what do I know? [FROM THE LISTING] The Walther PPK is a truly unique and...

A friend (wink) recently bought a gun in an on-lin auction. The serial number given for this item made it a 1962 version, and the gun was shipped directly from the auciton house to the C&R holder. When the item was received, and the recipient checked the actual serial number, it turns out it...

I have a "bag gun" that I am never going to do anythinng with. It's a FEG AP66 (Walther clone) in .32 acp. I was going to put the mag and the grips on eBay and sell them. I was planning to just offer the parts out to people on this board and other boards for free. My (probably really...

Yesterday I received an email from USA Ammo, who I have bought ammo from before without a problem, although after their initial entry into the market - started increasing prices. They sell once-fired reloaded ammo. In this email, they have the nerve to ask $100 for a 50 round box of reloaded...

A friend recently gave me a box of old reloading stuff (and there was some blackpowder stuff mixed in). Some of this I can guess what it is, and some of it I have not a clue what it is. Can you guys help me identify what this stuff is, whether it is still usable for someone doing reloading...
