The LGS had two guns in this configuration. I went back to check them out again and one gentleman had purchased both of them this morning. It's OK- you win some and you lose some.
Even as a Late Gen Xer (almost Millennial), I have far more interest in metal frame hammer guns of the 80's and 90's than the NPC polystrikers of today.
Depending on threat matrix and NPE levels, EDC can be anything from an NAA Mini to something in the Makarov/P239/2" K-frame size that fits in the front left pocket of pants I am wearing.
The only fly in the ointment with Ruger Mini-14 factory mags that I have discovered is that a modern 10 rounder fits too tight in my first production run series-180. The 5's and 20's are fine.
I view the 1891 similarly to my 1890 L&L production GEW 88- the production realities were still catching-up to the engineering/design/manufacturing requirements for safely containing the new high-pressure smokeless cartridges. When I shoot my GEW 88 again in the future, it will be with reduced...
This thread is for 92 aficionados only...
LGS has a few 92F (not FS) examples for sale OTC at $325 each. They are made in Italy, served overseas (where???) and were imported here to the US in G to VG condition.
Grips have been replaced with some aftermarket checkered wood specials (maybe...
Has anybody bought recent production (since the Vista merger) Remington .30-30 Core-Lokts?
If so, did they still have the traditional scallops, or were they just a regular JSP?
Thanks!
We have 3.25 acres located on a hillside with uninhibited "open space" behind it. At least until the Colorado Triple-D legislature gets around to restricting it, I can legally shoot anything on my property as long as the projectiles stay inside the notional fence line. We have a small range area...
I purchased a NIB CZ-85B (1994 manufacture) in 1999 that came with one 10 rounder. In Shotgun News, there would be multiple listings for "new old stock" ;) 15 round mags from companies like USA and other Pro-Mag wanna bees. I bought a few, and yes, they were new in the package. If you believe...
Slightly off topic, but I remember the Colorado DOW having a display at our county fair back in the early 90's- the show pick-up had a FOUR (!) station gun rack in the back of the cab with a full-caliber scoped big game rifle, a .30-30 Winchester 1894, a full-size M16/AR15 A1/A2 styled platform...
Just one thing to keep in mind- that case of 9mm/5.56mm/XXX your plan to purchase and blow through in a couple extended range sessions might be fun for you now, but might be invaluable to one of your kids or grandkids in the future. Plan accordingly.
If there is ammo on the self, it's never a bad time to stock up. Of course, I started hoarding ammo at age 12, so may not be the best person to ask.
For example, basic 9mm 115 gr FMJ is available in Denver Metro at $12 a box OTC with just a bit of looking. Not sure how it will get much cheaper...
Because of Columbine fallout, Colorado has experienced a gun show BG check requirement for all firearms sales/transfers involving non-dealers for a long time. Until the recent stupidity, it worked relatively well. The purchaser went to a common station at the venue for 4473 execution and left...
