    Help me ID an old percussion cap muzzle loader?

    A guy at my work was going to throw these rifles away, but thankfully knowing I collect firearms he asked me if I wanted them. It looked like he kept them in a bucket of water in his basement. But with liberal application of Ballistol and 0000 steel wool they cleaned up pretty nice. Anyway, I...

    Is this 1903A3 cadet rifle salvageable?

    Is this 1903A3 drill rifle salvageable? Picked this up today for $50 from a kid at work. Mostly wanted it for the stock. I have a sporterized 03A3 that I was going to put the stock on but now I got to thinking. The weld on the magazine shut off puts some doubt in my mind. She cleaned up pretty...

    Will the synthetic stock off one of the new GSRs retro fit back to an original GSR with the laminated stock? Haven't been able to figure this out. My GSR needs to loose a little weight.

    CZ455 optics suggestions?

    Just picked up my new CZ455 American in .22lr yesterday. My LGS finally got one in and set it aside for me. Paid $390. Gun is absolutely beautiful. Everything I had hoped it would be. Fit and finish is supreme, stock is beautiful. Now to the question of scope and ring combos. Right now I am...

    Caught this cool picture shooting today.

    Did a little shooting with the old lady today. She was shooting her new Walther PK380 (I know there a lot of pink in this picture, lol ) and I snapped this pic from behind her as she was shooting at our metal gong, got home and noticed the piece of brass flying though the air. Kinda cool, almost...

    Traded a Kimber for a Kimber today. Pics too!

    Traded in my Kimber Ultra Carry II stainless for a new Kimber Custom Target II. Stopped carrying the ultra carry and I wanted a government sized 1911 with adjustable sights and a steel frame. Was looking at a Gold Cup Colt, but the Kimber seemed like such a better deal. Payed $749 minus my...

    Strangest thing happened at the range sunday...

    The old lady and I were done shooting late in the day. Went to leave and as we were walking past the last few benches she noticed a shotgun leaning against a rifle rest. There were only one other couple there, and I knew them and it wasn't there Shotgun. No one else around so I figured that...

    Kimber Gold Match II or Colt Gold Cup National Match?

    Gonna trade in my Kimber Ultra Carry II for a fullsize 1911. I want something I can shoot a lot of low power target ammo through, and I want an accurate out of the box 1911. I know there are a gazillion choices of 1911 that would fit my needs but of these two, what would you prefer and why?

    Ended up picking up a new Glock today.

    Went to my LGS to possibly trade in my Kimber Ultra Carry II for new GEN 4 glock 19. Struck a deal to trade even for a new one but they ended up not having one. So I ended up keeping my Kimber and walking out with a used 19 Gen 4 OD green for $425 :) Looks like the previous owner didn't shoot...

    Picked up my No5 Mk1 Jungle Carbine today

    After 15+ years of me telling if he ever wanted to get rid of it my uncle finally decided to sell me his Jungle Carbine. As much as I hate to take advantage of someone in financial duress he needed the money and I've always loved the gun. My first Enfield. Gave him $300 dollars for it. Sadly...

    Problem with my Marlin 1894

    Having one little problem with my 1894 .44 mag I was hoping someone could give me some advice on. Sometimes, usually with a full tube I will go to rack the lever to chamber my first round and when I move the lever all the way out the first round will exit the tube like it should. But the...

    Got the new Marlin 1894 a few pics. *56k*

    Picked it up friday. It is an older one manufactured by Marlin. Not sure of the year. I paid $489 for it at my LGS. Shot it this weekend and I must say I am in love. 10 rounds of .44 Mag just makes you feel confident :) I plan on putting the XS ghost rings on it. Tossing around the idea of...

    Marlin 1894 experience?

    My LGS has a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag for sale. I played with it the other day and it grew on me. It looked newer and I know I have read some slightly negative things about Marlins QC as of late. Anything I should look for or be concerned about? I got a price of $500 and it looks to be in almost...
