Saturday, September the Third, 2005 Anno Domini. Range will be open from 10 AM to 7 PM. Post to this thread and bring a printout of your post for half off range time (already a low, low $10/session) and a stylish "Automatics For The People" bumper sticker. Hope to see a bunch of y'all...

Sunday's Blast-O-Rama seems to be shaping up decently: Probables: Byron Quick, buzz_knox, GreenFurniture, taliv, Juggernaut, mfree, and myself. Possibles: Marko Kloos, Bilbo_TN, and a few more. The range will be open for blasting from 12pm to 5pm (maybe later if we have a drove of...

I already had a Kar. 98k, a Type 99 Arisaka, an M1 Garand, a Mosin 91/30, a No.4 Enfield, and a MAS 36. With Sunday's acquisition of a Mo. 1938 Carcano, I've covered all the squares for WWII. Now it's time to fill in my remaining WWI vacancies. Sadly, I've already got the easy ones. :uhoh:

How about a Sunday afternoon meet&shoot at Coal Creek Armory? Enough time to attend the show at the I-75 Expo Center in the morning and then show up to show off and shoot your new toys in the early afternoon? Anybody game? What'd be a good time for y'all?

I just received a call from one of my informants. :D Craig's Firearms here in Knoxville has a rare, cherry factory nickel S&W Model 58, in the box in the shop right now. I was tipped off by my informant, but this desireable and rare piece is a bit too rich for my unemployed blood at the...

Well, now that 1911 Project Number One is done, I could move on to Project #2... Start by finding a '66 Commercial Colt that has been badly re-blued and has suffered from a poor kitchen-table checkering job for sale in a local gun shop where your friend Marko Kloos works. Trade in a basket...

Help me identify this revolver. Known facts: It was retrieved off the body of a Japanese junior officer in the CBI theater in late WWII, in the Burma area. Japanese army officers were responsible for providing their own sidearms. It's an obvious knockoff of an I-frame Smith in .38 S&W...

Okay, I know that I've been one of the loudest proponents of the "I carry a 5" steel 1911 every day" around here, but I have a confession to make. Recently I came into possession of a Springfield Armory Lightweight Loaded that already had a few tweaks (stubby GI guide rod.) I added a few of...

Since I installed my new Auto-Disk on my Lee Turret press, I've had a couple of squib loads that I assume are caused by static cling of the powder (light flake powder, Green Dot and Blue Dot) to the sides of the plastic hopper. Is there a way that I can prevent this from happening without...

Which of the following guns (from otherwise well-respected companies) should have come with a five pound bag of Kibbles & Bits and a leash? 1) Colt AA2000: "Hey! Let's build a fragile pistol with a crappy trigger and a rotating barrel designed to hamper accuracy!" 2) Beretta Cougar: "Hey...

Dateline: Knoxville, TN February 23 While watching Band Of Brothers on Tuesday night, a Knoxville woman was viciously attacked by her movie-viewing companion. A moment's inattention allowed the cranky geriatric to savagely bite her left thumb. The victim, Tamara K., was heard to exclaim...

...in .32 S&W Long. Is there any load data available for this bullet in the revolver cartridge instead of in .32 ACP?

S&W .38 Safety Hammerless 4th Model, circa 1899, with Kershaw Chive...

A S&W Model 15-4, SB, HB, circa 1980, with a Gerber Bolt Action...

With it being payday and all, I just took one home from work that I'd had set back in the safe: A Model 10-8 3" RB HB, circa 1983, complete with box, docs, and all accoutrements. Pics to follow when I get back from my forthcoming attempt at bambi-zapping. (PS: Who's selling Tyler T-Grips...

So, as I shamefully admitted in a recent thread in GenDisc, I don't actually... you know, reload yet. I do, however, have a metric buttload of borrowed reloading stuff here in my apartment, and I've saved a ton of brass over the years. Last night I re-found my big ol' brass box. This sort of...

Picked up another one today. A tiny .38 Regulation Police I-frame that dates to prob'ly the late 1920's by the S/N. What an adorable little gun, and only $190, too! Pics and details to follow...

...while I'm in a picture takin' mood. :) From top to bottom, left to right: Kimber Classic Custom Series I, Springfield Professional. Les Baer Concept III. Springfield Stainless Loaded, Custom built by Clark w/Kimber slide on Essex frame. Colt Delta Elite. Colt Series 80 Enhanced .38...

...already need a stepladder. :uhoh: Here's the Smittie stable, circa 11/7/03. Enjoy. :cool: Column 1 (J & Improved I frames): 31-1, 36-1, 640, 442, 38, 49 flat latch, 37, 34 (1957). Column 2 (K frames): 19-5 (State Department factory 4" round butt), Military & Police (1953), PC-13, 65-2...

Here's one of my newer Smitties (I've been going through a camera re-shuffle for the last couple of months...), a 4" 581-1 with target stocks and a Kershaw Talon...
