I'm mucking about with my AR's. Already have a PA MRDS mounted on it but it is a tube style, non-reflex sight. Not much point in it for me. I can aim with both eyes open fine on most scopes so if the optic is head-position sensitive not much advantage over a scope for me. So, anyone...

Wolf supposedly has been making 6.5 grendel in their poly-performance line. Link! Anyone actually laid eyes on the stuff or have a price? I'm seeing forum postings rolling back to '08 about the stuff but none of the usual suspects seem to have it available. I can find gold, but not the...

Hey all; Stupid question. I have a cz-75 located locally thats at a good price. But, I'm a lefty. Looking at the part schematic i can tell the safety can't be swapped to the other side. However, I'm not spotting much difference on the cz-85's safety.. which is a ambidextrous one. so, is...

I've got some tax money back, and am trying to decide on what I'm getting. I already have varmint guns leaking out my ears, and am mostly after something for pig.. and I'm not fond of chasing things. I'm a southpaw, and want to stick to lever or semi-autos. I like bolts, I own...

I've got a sig 220, made in west germany back in the early 80's. I just rebuilt it and replaced all the springs, but I've noticed the barrel rifling looks pretty shallow these days. I don't know how many rounds where put through it before I got it, but I know I've worn out 3 or 4 recoil springs...

I don't mean anything negative with the topic. I just find it annoying that there are no searchable indexes of pistols (automatic and revolvers) to help people find pistols that meet their needs. I see a lot of posts on THR trying to find pistol models that fit some set of parameters. Size...

I love my sig 220, but I want a higher-cap pistol for fun and field. What are my options? I'm aware of.... paraordance warthawg? Xd-45 taurus PT145 two different glock models.. smith and wesson m&p 45 any others I'm missing? I also imagine we are all tired of these types of...

I just inherited a opened pound of accurate #5. No idea on the production date of it. I also have another, probably much older batch I'm polishing off (mid 90's). The mid 90's batch is a flat disk about 2mm across that lays flat. This 'new-to-me' can is much finer and appears closer to...

Hopefully a stupid question. Some one told me once upon a time that all the millenium pistols had ambi safeties, or could be fitted with them. Having looked at a few today, I've yet to see how that'd be possible. Looks like the frame has to be relief cut for the safety. Am I on crack, or are...

Hello; What alternatives are there to the G19/G30 in about the same size package and capacity? I'm looking for a larger carry piece and the sig 229 is a fore-runner right now, but I like the size/ capacity of the g19/30.. Too bad the grip angle is a bother for me. Any thoughts would be...

Hello; I'm tired of searching. I'm looking for a 45acp with or can be fitted with a ambi-safety that is between 6 and 7" overall length. What options are there besides a 1911? Only option I've spotted so far is the EAA witness compact. Are there others? Am I Just blind? Its not that I...

Hey; Got my sig 220 (its a sub 190k west-german) stripped almost completely to do a gunkote job on it.. slide is getting a wee bit thing in the blueing. Figure i'll do the frame while I'm at it but I can't for the life of me figure out how the mag release comes out. Anyone done it...

I need a S&W Nutt, am trying to figure out what I've got here. It's blue. But it is a 686. Under the arm it says two non-ascii characters, then '1537' and MOD 686 On the arm it says BM604(omitting last 3 digits for no particular reason). I'm being told there was a limited...

Hello Does the model 1 9mm conversion block use the standard uzi mags? or do they have to be modified? And not that I expect an answer piggy backing on my own thread but.. any one got a source for the ar15 /ak47 frankenmags? Picked up two receivers at the gunshow today and am playing...

I'm just about out of silver bear 9x18. Any one got a line on a vendor with it or something equivalent? Please no wolff.. had issues with it already in this caliber. At this rate I may have to switch to 380.. since I can't get dies for my square deal.

Hello; I've got a 686 sitting in my safe that just became redundant. Mid 80's make, blue, 5.5 or 6" barrel (not sure which) in 357. Houge grips, got the wood ones some where or another. Rifling and lockwork are all good. Any idea what a fair price on it is in the mid south? I picked it...

Hello; I know where to find police trade P6's. I know it used to be possible to find sig 220's that were police trades too. Have they all dried up? Search function isn't being particularly helpful tonight or I wouldn't bother asking...

Hello; I'm trying to make up my mind. I need a small to middling size auto for ccw in the summer, and can't find any one local with either to shoot. I've fired a SA micro-compact with porting before, and couldn't hit much with it. Fired a SA Compact that some one had worked over, and it...

Just got a cz-82, pretty good shape. Doubt it was shot before I got it. But the recoil spring seems weak. Slide stop feels like its taking a pretty good beating after each firing, enough to feel it pretty good in my hand after a full mag. Doesn't seem as hard to rack as the makarov's I've...

Looks like I've pre-inherited my grandfathers davis industries P380. Yeah, its a junk gun. Slide is heavy, feels like its made of zinc. Machine marks everywhere. Supposedly its in my safe so I could try and sell it. But after doing a touch of research, I got to question passing on...
