Well, I started with a basic mil-spec High Standard, a little over $400 out the door, slide is silky smooth... a visit to MidwayUSA's website: Colt curved mainspring housing - $7.99 Colt wrap around grips - $14.99 Nighthawk Customs Match trigger - $24.95 and a few days later...

Hey y'all... Well, I am trying to find some grips for my 1911... trouble is, I can't find the ones I would like. So, maybe someone out here might have a lead... I tried Midway, and Gun Parts... as well as Colt Mfg., Pacmayr, Hogue, etc... Colt offers the "new" style checkered ones for...

Here's the latest addition to the family... a High Standard 1911 .45 ACP Paid right at $400 out the door... The plan is to mildly mod it with a new hammer, add a beaver tail, a humped mainspring cover, and a Wilson Combat trigger... Question to you 1911 afficianados: Is it common...

OK, with pretty much all of the US's big manufacturers out-sourcing their manufacturing process, the question came up today at work about Colt. Are Colt firearms still manufactured in the U.S.A.? Thank you...

OK, I've read many a thread where the question is asked which is better... Now that I have some time on my hands, I will run down the my opinion of the real, practical differences. I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination... I'll leave the hard core questions for those more...

Well, for starters, all is well, no one got hurt or injured, and all the standard safety precautions were followed... HOWEVER... This evening, I had a "slam-fire" occur. The firearm was pointed in a safe direction when it discharged. The safety was on, no finger on the trigger... but it...

I just traded an AR lower for a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum... was a DPMS lower and LPK with a 4 pos butt stock... Just curious if it was a fair deal... Thanks :cool:

OK, still being something below any kind of knowledgeable about technicals... I guess this Q is directed at our resident gurus... OK, I'm looking at two of my reloading manuals trying to decide which load to use for the 68gr hornady HPBT's... looking at max pressures and seein wide margins...

Hey y'all... just thought I'd start a thread for those of us who seem to have the 22 addiction... and in an effort to not completely hijack someone elses thread I figured we'd be better off having our own place to show off our 22 rifles... I do not feel there need to be any rules, however...

Witht he "shortage" of small rifle primers, someone suggested I try using small pistol primers for use in reloading .223 Rem. :scrutiny: Now, I'm not new to reloading, but I'm not nearly what anyone would call an expert and am learning more as I progress. But this sounds like it might be a...

DPMS Panther Classic 16" Are these M4 feedramps ????? complete with hardshell case, cleaning kit, 2 mags, and sling... Will have a range report as soon as weather & wind permits...

Yeah, It just wouldn't let go... So, I decided it was a keeper... :) Now I just need to go get decent glass for it... Any suggestions?? Thanks

I tried searching.... I looked at a few M1 Carbines today... I found a really sweet Saginaw, and a few nice Inlands... Is one any better than the other? Prices were in the $700 - 800 range... all are certified safe to shoot... bores in nice shiny condition... Thanks...

OK, I'm looking at a new rifle and have decided it is time for that Browning... I really like the X-Bolt but can't decide, Hunter or Composite Stalker... Thanks!!! Tom

Well, I finally got around to sanding the stock on the second Glenfield M25. It's got a few nicks, and a little bit of a gouge in it. I keep looking at it thinking if I use some kind of filler, it will look kinda dumb. Seeing how I already have a nice wood stocked Glenfield, I was thinking of...

E.R. Shaw vs Wilson barrels - All things being equal for each, feature for feature, etc... Is one better than the other? Are they pretty much of equal quality? Or is this pretty much the "Ford vs Chevy" type situation? Again, equal options comparisons... i.e. chromed vs chomed...

OK, we all know MOST 30-30's are tube magazines and pretty much require round or flat tip bullets. (with the exception of the Harnady LeveRevolution stuff) What's to stop one from loading a nice ballistic tip as the chambered round, and use the round/flats for follow-ups? I have some 168 gr...

OK, it's no secret I bit the bullet and bought an AR stripped lower... now that I have it pretty much ready for the upper assembly... I'm torn between two: Del-Ton AR-15 16" Pre-Ban A2 Barrel Assembly OR Rock River Arms Mid Length Upper Both seem to offer the same options, similar...

Well, I went and took the plunge... :neener: DPMS stripped lower local for about the same as online...:what: I love my dealer... she's the greatest... :cool: (yes... "she") So, what do y'all think?? :scrutiny: Happy 4th y'all!!!

Did Colt ever manufacture an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39? Not that I want one... Just curious...
