    Collectible/vintage Eotech - what would you do?

    I bought a SOCOM II off a guy on Gunbroker and it came with an Eotech, harris BP, some ammo and a forward grip. Ended up getting the whole package for less than what I would have been willing to pay for just the rifle because his pictures and description were not so hot and the no reserve...

    Willing to spend up to $2000 on a .223 bolt rifle.. recommendations?

    I'm thinking about buying a nice .223 Bolt rifle because I have thousands of rounds of 223 and would like a nice bolt rifle to supplement my AR's. I'm not a bench rest shooter but do like to shoot for accuracy from time to time. Whatever I buy will get a 4x glass and be used for a combination...

    Anyone running a Burris Fastfire on their wheel gun for hunting?

    My primary hunting rig is a S&W performance center two tone 629-5 with the integral Weaver rail on the top of the barrel. I usually hunt open sighted because the gold bead is very easy to pick up in all conditions and I like open sights whenever possible. Lately I've been thinking of mounting...

    Remington 141 & Lever Revolution

    Hey all, yesterday I fell in love with a pristine Remington 141 (35 Rem) at the local shop and had to bring it home. For $250 what's not to love, right? The internals and rifling look like it rolled off the line yesterday, but it was made in Feb 1938. Since I don't own a 35 rem I picked up...

    Has anyone seen what Dan Wesson is doing to their slides?

    Let me start by saying I'm a huge Dan Wesson fan, today was #4. Don't beat me up, just passing along a disappointing marketing decision. I was at my favorite 1911 pimp today and saw he had a PM-9 in stock. Been looking out for one forever so I didn't spend much time deciding to buy it...

    Need a little help.. Marlin 94, made 1897, 44-40 - what's a fair price?

    I have a friend who knows I shoot cowboy and is hard up for some cash. He has a Marlin 94, 20" round barrel, saddle ring 44-40 with a serial number in the 150,000 range. My research places date of manufacture at 1897. It's in nice condition, the bore is a mirror with nice rifling and no...

    "Causing Friction" & "Raven"

    Was off work the week before Christmas and along with filling orders I had time to get a friction folder finished up along with a new design I came up with for my father-in-law. Causing Friction is a beast. Unlike most of the knives I show here this one is available for purchase, $235...

    180 grain 357 load data help

    Hey all, I have a bunch of bullets I bought when I was loading for my 357 Casull and would like to try and develop a hunting load for my 6" S&W 686. Obviously OAL and case pressure is a concern. I'm not looking for loadings that are pushing the limits, just a nice load with some good punch...

    New take on choke tube storage..

    Until I bought my Cynergy Euro I never owned a shotgun that I felt needed a better choke tube than the ones commonly available on the market. With the Cynergy not only do I have 8 tubes (leaving 6 loose), but I wanted something classy. So I set out to make something unique but still...

    Couple of new designs - Odin, The Arc & the SFC

    Just thought I'd share a few new designs I've been working on. The Odin has been around a while but I've been "field testing" it as my EDC for a while. Seems I never keep a knife for myself so I did this time. The Odin is a multi-use knife, currently setup with a neck sheath and a belt...

    Could use some O/U advice..

    Well, I didn't set out today to buy an OU, but I've always wanted a nice one for general shooting and hunting. A stop at one of my favorite lunchtime Haunts turned up a NIB Browning Cynergy in the Duck Blind Camo on clearance for $1519. Less the $100 mail in rebate, just over $1400 is a...

    Freedom Arms 353 Casull, just thought I'd share..

    Well, I always thought it would be cool to play around with the 353 Casull and today just by pure dumb luck I got the chance. Today my wife and I drove 2 hours away to a gun shop to pick up a gun I bought on Gunbroker. Of course I had to check out everything they had and low and behold there...

    New patterns: KÜK & Crooked Spade

    Here's a couple of new designs that I'm going to try and make about 6-8 of each year. So far they are turning out to be pretty popular with my local buyers, hope you like them. First is the "KÜK", which is one of my favorites. As for the name, I started out calling it the Churched-up...

    already have a 45-70, worthwhile adding a 308?

    Okay, first off I don't have a lot of history with centerfire rifles. Being a lifelong Ohioan who can't usually hunt with one, and doesn't like long range bench shooting, I never saw much purpose to own one. I do own an AR and a Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun that I love, but both are short range...

    Hand ground W1 Integral

    This one was a side project that I plan on keeping for myself, so it took a while to finish-up. I picked up some 1" W1 drops last year and have gotten a little tired of forging them out on the anvil, so I decided to play around with doing an integral. I don't have a mill so aside from the...

    Remington 66 question..

    Today I picked up a very nice Remington 66 at a good price. This one has an 'A' prefix serial number, high gloss black nylon, no white diamond and a blued finish. I've never seen the black stock with a blued finish and even looking around the web they seem pretty rare. Is this the case...

    Anyone have experience buying from www.gun-parts.com?

    I've never ordered from gun-parts.com (Bob's Gun Parts) before but they have a replacement stock I want. Before ordering I tried finding a number to call to verify they have the parts in stock but never could locate one, so I faxed my order in on 7-13. Anyone have experience with buying...
