    Problem with Slide Stop Engagement

    I have a Kimber Custom Classic that has a problem where the slide stop will not fully engage into the notch in the slide on the last round. Sometimes it'll go about 3/4 of the way in and sometimes it'll go in a 1/4 and others not catch at all. I have verified this with 2 different slide...

    Hey all, I am looking for a 26"-28" barrel for my 1200. Looking at prices for new stuff...they seem expensive. Can anyone point me to a source that has affordable (<$100) barrels for shotguns, specifically a Winchester 1200? Thanks, Greg

    3-gun "Jogging Stroller" Setup

    Anyone have any input on using/configuring a 3-wheel jogging stroller for 3-gun matches? A few guys have them at the club I shoot at but I haven't had a chance to really ask anyone about them. -Preference on a brand/model -What kind of ATV handlebar brackets work best -I've seen some models...

    Anyone shoot IDPA/IPSC @ PDHSC in Raleigh?

    Like the question states. I am new to Raleigh and need to find a couple of regular matches. I see they shoot on the 2nd Saturday at 4:30 so I may head over there this coming Saturday if I can get out of building a deck at my sister-in-law's. PM or e-mail me if you care to meet and show me...

    Pick up a new 642 for peanuts

    A while back, a member of the shooting club I belong to was selling a 642 w/ Crimson Trace grips and a fluff & buff by a local, well-respected 'smith for $375. I wanted it but I already had a 642 (that I bought off yet another member earlier for $295) and didn't have the cash and another club...

    Winchester 1300 Stock Thread Size

    During my neverending search for an appropriate stock for my 1300 Defender, I have managed to significantly damage the threads in the aluminum recevier that the stock bolts to. I need to know the size of the factory bolt that comes on these guns. It the same for the 1200 if that helps. I...

    I feel ill...gunsmith bill almost $900

    I think I am having sticker shock. In September, I sent my newly acquired Kimber Custom Classic (Clackamas marked mind you) to George at EGW in PA with instructions to do all sorts of neat things including, but not limited to removing the flaking NP3 finish and refinishing with a new process he...

    New Bruce Willis/Richard Donner Movie Blooper

    Went to see Firewall this afternoon and caught the trailer for the upcoming Bruce Willis film directed by our favorite Hollyweird director, Richard Donner, called 16 Blocks. I have seen Glocks "stovepipe" before and it isn't a typical stovepipe wherein the empty case gets lodged in...

    'Tuner or anyone else...460 Rowland kits?

    I posted on another thread the possibilty of converting a 1911 (Norinco in particular for me) to a Clark Custom .460 Rowland for critter defense while out in the wilderness. Anyone ever installed one of these, particularly in a Norc? The Clark site states that Norincos will require minor...

    Need M4 Buffer Tube Only

    I have a ban-era M4 with a fixed stock. A friend gave me a buttstock from his M4 with a collapsible stock. I now need a buffer tube that I can use with the new buttstock on my gun. I looked at Brownell's and e-gunparts.com and also did a Google search and nothing turned up. Any ideas where I...

    What gun for crazed Thanksgiving turkey?

    Just pulled the bird from the oven and I'll be damned if the S didn't hit the fan. Damned thing is running amok in our house. Quick, what caliber do I use to put this thing out of commission? Greg

    2006 Florida State IDPA Match

    Just found out that First Coast IDPA will be hosting the 2006 Florida State IDPA match at Gateway Rifle & Pistol Club the first weekend in May, 2006. I just shot the Florida/Georgia Border Disorder match there last weekend and can say this is a first rate facility and club. Please mark your...

    Hurricane Wilma Aftermath

    I didn't see much on this. Guess we don't rate a NO-style minute-by-minute report down here since we have "been there and done that" so many times lately. Anyway, a few things I learned about a WINDstorm vs. a WATERstorm (like Katrina): 1) While your house may very well stay in tact, you...

    Credit Card = Physical Address per USA PATRIOT Act!

    Just got off the phone with CapitalOne activating a replacement credit card. Automated system must have flagged something wrong with my phone number or something as it sent me to a human. Anyway, all my mail goes to a PO box for various reasons and the guy on the phone says per PATRIOT I must...

    Access to Government Databases for ID--Scary Stuff

    I didn't know how to title this so I did the best I could. I was browsing the official movie site for the upcoming movie Saw II and encountered something called "Age Gate" which is used to verify age to allow you access to the more "gruesome" area of the site (although it wasn't very gruesome)...

    Foreign Aid in Katrina Aftermath

    Anyone want to wager that we are offered no assistance in Katrina's aftermath? Makes me sick really. Look at all this country poured into Asia after last year's tsunami. Thoughts? Greg

    Kimber - non-standard front sight dovetail! Need help!

    I just acquired a Kimber Custom Classic and One of the things I need to do is replace the tritium front sight with a Dawson FO. I even ordered the standard Kimber sight and it'll be here this week. I removed the existing front sight so I could compare the dovetail to my two other Kimbers...

    Kimber Custom Classic (Clackamas)

    Well, I traded my pretty much new XD40, 3 mags, Blade-Tech holster and mag carrier for a Kimber Custom Classic today. It's a guy that I shoot with. He had a Bomar rear put on and the whole thing NP3d. Needs to be cleaned up a little now and some of my own personal touches. I'll post a couple...
