Or at least help me spend mine. Advise me on picking a good fairly high power variable varmint scope for a .22-250 with intended use to 500 yards. Have a very nice Savage 12V heavy varmit rifle (pre-accutrigger, sadly) handicapped by a BSA scope that's about worthless. I already have Leupold...

So... here's an interesting one. A friend of mine is an FBI Special Agent. Her late father was a retired US Army General. Get a call from her to come see her late fathers "M-16" that was given as a gift to him when he retired from the Army. She sends me a photo and it's a 1977 SP-1...

OK Pards, Let's get down and see who has what it takes to have personal knowlage of the evolution of the cap and ball revolver. Challenge is to show your collection, which has an example of: Dragoon (any model from Walker to Third Model). Colt Pocket-Pistol in .31 Colt...

OK, brain trust of THL: I was planning to buy a 7.62 Saker and an Osprey when I dump the sand outta my boots in April when I get finally back home to my friendly FFL, but as I've noted yesterday, I don't patronize companies that offer special deals to some of us and not to others. So since...

Just a heads up for the Centaure fans here. There's been a private printing done of a 285 page book on the Centaure, AKA 1960 New Model Army revolver, the high quality Belgian 1860 clone built in the 1960's. As these are considered likely the most accurate and highest quality continuation of...

Just cleared into the Bahamas today. Posted outside the customs office was a new sign, stating new rules for quantity of firearms allowed to be imported: three firearms and 175 rounds per arm. No quantities were ever specified before and it's not published anyplace. Open boats (center console...

Well... "build" is not the right word, should be "assembly" but anyway.... I took the plunge and bought two of the surplus M16A1 parts sets offered by Sportsmans Guide. Figured what the heck, they are cheap enough and are complete save for barrel and lower. These are cut up original Colt...

Just found this gem online: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/msp/NCIC_Gun_codes_as_of_8-5-2012_407670_7.pdf It's a list for law enforcement entry of firearms manufacturers codes, calibers, and descriptions into the NCIS computer system, for accurate ID of firearms. Every single...

Put here in legal as this represents the top "lawyer of the land", who has been adversatial to the RKBA since he was a pup. Apparently he's become such a liability politically that he's history. Contemplating how much the ill advised Fast and Furious debate spurred this. Again, in the...

So's... Old Willie is packing today to begin his twice annual 2000 mile drive from his place on the lake to the searing sands of the Mojave, to enjoy about 7 weeks of flying pointy-nosed jets so's to earn his grubstake for the next few months. While tossing all of my crap into my seabag and...

Sitting on the shoulder of a road in a small tourist town yesterday waiting for my teenage daughter to run into our motel room to grab something she had forgotten to bring. Road is zero traffic, I'm just sitting there when a "youth" of about 25 rides up behind the van on a bike. He stops behind...

Just got one in a trade, already pulled off the thumbhole stock and replaced it with a Galil style folder and an Ace folding hinge. Ordered a Tromix weld-on Galil type cocking handle and a Tabuk style flash suppressor. welded muzzle nut came off with 5 minutes of Dremel time. Ordered a half...

Hopefully addressed to 07 FFL's with Class 3 SOT experience: Assuming that an incorporated (not individual) 07 FFL with Class 3 SOT has made up a few dealer sample MG's and then gets tired of paying annual ITAR fees and has no intent to continue manufacturing, can he exchange the 07 FL for a...

In November 2012 my home was inundated by salt water from Hurricaine Sandy. I was able to move all of my guns save for one that I forgot from harms way. Sadly I had a complete machine shop with Bridgeport, Lathe, and five full Kennedy machinist tool boxes of precision tools, fixtures, jigs, and...

Comparing my Ubertis with other offerings (ASM/Richardson, Colt, Centaure, etc) and note that the Uberti offerings stand out by virtue of their very non-authentic wood finish. "Glossy over Orange" sums it up. Who has experience stripping these and refinishing them? Advice? Willie .

As many know, the concept of a Scout Rifle by name and formal definition began taking place in the late 1970's and early 1980's at Gunsite, as run by Colonel Jeff Cooper. Rather than do a "top down" decree, Colonel Cooper invited a group of people to participate in a series of Scout Rifle...

Just was offered a local trade for a Mauser action set up as a carbine in .45 ACP using one of these kits: http://www.troupsystems.com/MAUSER/mauser_conversions.htm Thinking about trading for it, and then doing a Delisle-style full shroud integral suppressor on the little carbine. Should...

Thumbs up or down for these from owners or those experienced with them? Local SOT offered one to me for $1K new, and am tempted. Owners/Users observations on both normal length and SBR 5.56mm rifles? Application planned for mid length AR Carbine, SIG 556 rifle, and a SBR based on a...

Well... another theory shot down in flames...:o In another thread we were mooting if the Colt marked ASM 1860's were from the same parts source as Colt second generation, with ASM possibly using parts that were left over from Colt parts supply. As some here know, there are a few ASM made...

Finally made it back home after a 7 month trip. Glad to be ashore after a long voyage with a few months of flying tossed in for good measure. Found four boxes waiting for me at the post office, the fruit of Gunbroker...:D 1: A boxed Uberti Paterson, charcoal blue, and gorgeous. Truthfully...
