    Fun Finds

    It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to buy pocketknives for myself. I found a couple at a gunshow I walked today. The fella with the table was a bit older fella, and took a few minutes getting up to come over my way. He also was hard of hearing and also talked real quiet. I leaned...

    Texas Resident Buying a Gun in KS

    Howdy yall. I am based in Texas, but will likely be a temporary resident in Kansas for an 18 month period (or thereabouts). I’m a legal gunbuyer here in TX with all rights and privileges reserved, and am an LTC holder. Kansas has similar, if not same, environment for gun purchases as TX does...

    Gifted a CVA 1860 army. Shoot or not?

    So I’ve been given an older CVA 1860 Army. It’s a purty pistol! I don’t know whether to try to shoot it or not. No turn line on the cylinder, stamped ASM (Armi San Marco). It’s not ever been loaded or fired. I have lotsa guns, but this is my first C&B revolver. should I try to shoot this thing...

    Bought an AR Lower Today. What to Do With It?!

    Hi. I’m absolutely no stranger to building guns or fitting parts, having built an AK from a kit with bubba tools, and I like to tinker and repair my shotguns and pistols. But I’ve never fooled with ARs. I’ve shot a couple of them, but never owned one and have not built one. On impulse today...

    A Knife and a Story

    My dad is 72, and grew up around ranchers for most of his formative years. He was the little kid who mostly got picked on by a brother and cousins. His family had a few fairly large ranches in west texas until the 1970’s. He had a favorite uncle named Frank (he was “Uncle Big” to my dad) who...

    Another win for Illinois?

    This is something I picked up off another forum where it isn’t getting a lot of discussion. If I read this correctly, a district court has ruled the FOID unconstitutional. Is this right? And if so, why isn’t this front page news? http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=71543...

    Smith Model 49-deal or no deal?

    so, I have my eye on a Smith and Wesson model 49 in a pawn shop I know of. This is a “bodyguard” gun-J frame, snub-nose, 5-shot .38 with a shrouded hammer (SA/DA). This one is steel. I’ve handled this one, and it appears to be in nice shape mechanically, and pretty reasonable cosmetically...

    New to Me Smith 64

    Hi, starting a thread about a Model 64 I picked up from the FFL yesterday. First pic is how I bought it. Second pic is ready for a deep cleaning. When it arrived it wasn’t assembled properly, and the trigger and hammer were locked up. Gun looks heavily used, but is in pretty good shape under...

    Traditional Regional Knives

    I know there are traditional pieces of cutlery that are often associated with regions of the world. For example, the puukko is considered a traditional Finnish blade. Or scimitars in the middle east, bowies in the american south, etc. This is going to sound odd, but is there a “traditional”...

    CMP 1911’s-they started shipping!

    You all with CMP packets for 1911’s need to visit the CMP forum. Apparently some are receiving their pistols. A fella posted pics of his: remington rand slide, ithaca frame, overhauled by USMC in 1979 in Barstow. Looks really, really nice too. He said it felt nice and tight, 50 rounds no...
