    Inherited Weapons

    Thanks for all the replies. As the story goes, my grandmothers husband was somewhat of a Heerophile, if there is such a thing. Had never been to Germany, couldn't speak the language, fought in the Pacific but had this odd fascination with all things of the Wehrmacht. He and my dad worked at the...

    Inherited Weapons

    So I have this German byf44 P-38 in very good condition, everything matches. Has two original matching magazines and an original holster with a brass swastika on it. It's been in my family since the 50's. My dad bought it off a WWII vet he worked with. My father passed a couple years ago and it...

    FIE Titan .25 ACP

    Thanks for all the responses. Apparently it was popular with a couple people cause it went for over $150.00. It was in excellent condition though.

    10mm platform, which and why?

    I have two Sig P220's in 10mm, both SAO. The G20 tempted me for a time due to mag cap but I have a thing for steel frames.

    FIE Titan .25 ACP

    I had never heard of this gun until my mom showed me hers a few months ago. It's nickle and in pristine shape. She's in her 80's and couldn't rack it so wanted something else. I got her a Beretta 3032. Anyone know the history behind FIE and the Titan?

    So last week a friend of mine with the right tools put in a standard mid length gas tube and mentioned that the gas block seemed loose. Funny thing was when I got the rifle back from the gunsmith I looked at the gas block and thought he had secured it with a pin and mangled the pin in the...

    UPS Fail

    Sold a pistol the other day. The buyer was a few states away. Went to UPS store and learned that franchise stores cannot ship firearms anymore so I had to go to the hub another 30 minutes down the road. Filled out the form and paid for Next Day Air. That was Thursday. So I've been checking the...

    New to me Beretta 81!

    In the past 3 months I have purchased a LNIB 81FS and new wide slide 3032 to go along with a 85FS I've had for about 15 years. The 80 series to me are works of art.

    He might have said he ordered a new tube but it was obvious he didn't replace it. The other day I read a post by someone else using the same setup who had the same issue. They discovered the gas tube that comes with that particular FSB is in fact 12", a Colt 901 proprietary length. So he...

    Got my rifle back today. I can tell you exactly what's wrong with it. The gas tube is too long.

    Hello I had dropped off all the parts for a AR build with a local 'smith in August. Most of his reviews were positive but I'm thinking I might have given him something that's not in his expertise. After several attempts to get some info out of him this is what I got ...... "I thought the gas...
