Back in the 60's I bought an Italian Carcano carbine from Alden's Mail Order catalog. I don't know if it was just the one I bought,,, Or if they were all like the one I got,,, But mine was a true piece of crap. When I ordered the rifle I also ordered 250 rounds of mil-surp ammo,,, With my...

You guys are gonna laugh,,, But I've always wanted a Planet of the Apes M1 Carbine. I met a man at a gunshow once who made close replica stocks,,, The biggest difference was that his allowed full function of the carbine. He had to make that pistol grip thingie much fatter to accept the...

That would be Tmava Zena (Czech for Dire Woman),,, My CZ-75B. It's a Plain Jane older style DA/SA pistol,,, But it fits my hand perfectly. Aarond .

I noticed that you have a French 8mm Lebel revolver,,, I have one that I've owned since I was 11 years old. I paid $5.00 for it at a farm auction back in the early 60's,,, It came with a sock-full (40-ish rounds) of ammo. After I shot all that ammo up I never found any more,,, The revolver...

I would never shoot any ammo I find on the ground at a range. Too many whack jobs out there,,, Who knows if it is a round loaded Ultra-Hot,,, And left there on purpose so you will blow up a gun and injure yourself. Call me overly paranoid if you so desire,,, But I've heard stories about just...

My Holy Grail revolver is quite mundane to many folk. I have a "thing" for matching pistols,,, One in centerfire and the other one in .22 rimfire. I own several pairs such as my S&W Model 15/18 pair. The one I really want but haven't found yet is a S&W Model 45,,, It's a Plain Jane 4" K-frame...

If there was ever a harmless critter created by the Good Lord,,, The armadillo is it. I do understand they mess up lawns with their tunnels,,, I mean as I type I have two of the tunnels in my front yard. But why do people consider them to be "evil"? I guess I'm becoming an old softie in my...

That would be "Lucille",,, My Mom's Colt Frontier Scout in .22 LR. When I was a tween this gun lived on the top of our fridge,,, Along with a brick of .22 shorts. "Get your chores done without me having to hound you,,, I'll let you shoot Lucille a bit after dinner. Myself and my two younger...

I'm a bit surprised at the low-ish prices some of you are recommending,,, The current state of used gun prices seems to be much higher to me. I've been thinning the herd a bit over the past year,,, I don't start with a low price just because the gun is used. In fact the last two pistols I sold...

Please,,, How much did it cost? Aarond .

.375 H&H Magnum rifle,,, 3 rounds from a bench. Never Again! Aarond .

FN P-90,,, Full automatic. Several years ago a local gun store/indoor range had one in their rental list,,, Two years in a row for my birthday I rented it with 250 rounds of ammo. I've wanted one, or at least been intrigued by one,,, Since I first saw them used on the Stargate Atlantis TV...

In a cheap Uncle Mike's nylon holster,,, Screwed to the board of my bed frame. I placed it so my hand drops naturally when I'm laying on my back. Aarond .

Nice knife,,, But I'm more drawn to the box. Aarond .

I have always thought the 80-series Beretta's were the p[erfect fit for my hand,,, So when I found a Model 85 with extra mags at a pawn shop,,, The deal of $399.00 (with a buy-back guarantee),,, Was too good to pass up. Then I read about the 87 and since I collect rimfire/centerfire pairs,,, I...

I won't recommend any particular rifle for you,,, It's too subjective a thing as your aesthetics will be different from mine. What I will suggest is that you not just jump out and buy something,,, Before you've actually held it in your hands to see if it "feels" right to you. I'm one of those...

Congrats on a great find. I too wanted a Model 15 since it was what I carried in the USAF,,, I found a LNIB specimen with box, tool kit, and all papers for a crisp $500.00. It wasn't long before I started hankering for a Model 18 to pair with it,,, This pair started my love affair with...

It was a Winchester 189? pump in .22 short,,, I paid a whopping $5.00 for it at a farm auction. This was around 1963 or 1964,,, I was in Junior High then. When I won the bid my Pop went to get the rifle,,, When he got back with it the magazine rod was missing. I was positive that it was there...

Yep, I do remember. It was the summer before I started 1st grade,,, So I was just over 4 1/2 years old. My Grandfather always had this small revolver,,, I the pocket of his Jeans jacket. He called it his "Owl's Head Pistol",,, Because it had an owl's head on the grip,,, If I recall correctly...

I'm not so much into the .32 ACP pocket pistols,,, But since I was one of the many people who purchased a Beretta 81 from Classic Firearms,,, I'm happy to know that someone out there is making effective self-defense rounds for that caliber. 13 rounds of that Cavitator ammo would ruin a bad guys...
