    where to sell Katana?

    Hey All, I have had a Last Legend competition cutting Katana since 2006, never used it to cut a single thing, but only for Iaido practice. This is a real folded steel sword with a real Hamon, and is was made from Last Legend swords, who are no longer in business. It seems kind of...

    Bees Wax for refinishing grips?

    Hey All, I took some advice from this forum and stripped my grips of that horrible red varnish that Uberti applies to their grips. I hope/think I remember someone here giving advice about refinishing grips with Beeswax? Something about heating up the beeswax and dipping the grips in...

    Hey All, This leather is kind of lame, compared to most leather that I have seen here on this subforum.....but... At this time, I am not in a hurry to spend money for nice leather, as I am not a cowboy action shooter, and so the rig will only be worn on occasional range visits. This is...

    Hey All, Not an entire newbie on the 1911 front, but it has been awhile... Just picked up a SA GI Champion. I fully understand that this model is bare-bones and often prone to problems, but it is not filling any defensive role, just a range toy. I bought two Megcar magazines for...
