    Best and worst experiences in a gun shop?

    Not a gun shop, though a gun show. Was watching a vendor while he tried to show a customer how to install semi-auto drum mag into a 1927 A-1 Deluxe. Too painful to watch. Stepped-up to show how, and recommend to customer to buy a "3rd Hand" accessory.

    Hunting European Boar In South Carolina - Rifle suggestions please!

    Planning on a hunt this spring, and need suggestions on a rifle/caliber for boar hunting at a preserve. Thinking either a Remintonton 700 in .308, or a lever action in .45-70. Suggestions/opinions very welcome. Thanks! Moderator edit: thread title changed to reflect he is hunting in the US

    Colt LE 6920 FBP1 (Ltd. run FBI contract variation)

    I'm pretty much a collector, and don't sell/trade. For a limited addition variation, I was willing to take a leap. Anyone else wish to chime in? Open to all criticism.

    Colt LE 6920 FBP1 (Ltd. run FBI contract variation)

    A few months ago I purchased a NIB AR model that the box identified as a "2013 Config" of LE6920 FBP1. Serial number begins "LEXXXXXXX". Colt sources indicate it's a production over run of a 2013 FBI contract. NIB rifle came with every item/accessory noted by Colt sources. I paid $1500 for...

    686 no dash help

    I bought mine from a fellow USAF officer in 1985. It was about 95% and came with box, 2 speed loaders and 200 rds of .38 spl. or just $350. Often wondered in later years when I realized how great a deal I scored...so many places in Colorado to hide a .....

    686 no dash help

    I highly doubt that value-added would be realized by owning a "NON - DASH" as it was due to a factory warranty notice.

    686 no dash help

    I had mine corrected and marked by a local gunsmith who charged nothing; it was covered by the warranty. This is not an issue which requires the firearm being sent to the factory.

    I made a dumb mistake (Auto Ordinance 1927 Thompson)

    You're very welcome. I did some Google searches using "improper disassembly of 1929 auto ordnance", and there were quite a few pages out there. Best of luck!

    I made a dumb mistake (Auto Ordinance 1927 Thompson)

    Ok. Just checked manual and found disassembly should begin with safety on "fire". I may not be of much help here as you started with safety engaged. On your own, you will not likely do further harm,if any, unless you resort to sledge hammer. I would try to close the frame and receiver at...

    I made a dumb mistake (Auto Ordinance 1927 Thompson)

    Ok. I had a Smith add a 1928 butt-stock adapter for me, and because he had difficulty at this point, he made a tool for me to avoid this. For you, let's not get too fancy just yet, but take a slim screw driver and with the frame laying upside down on the floor or your work bench (with the...

    I made a dumb mistake (Auto Ordinance 1927 Thompson)

    Have you tried putting the safety on fire and depressing the trigger? I have a semi-auto 1927 deluxe West Hurley purchased in 1993.
