This from an Austin, Texas TV station website: www.kxan.com

After quite a few years of use, the torsion bar in my Kershaw finally broke. I contacted Kershaw via their website and asked for a replacement part. They sent an email back saying they would be happy to send me a replacement part, all at no charge. Few days later the package showed up with not...

Heard a story from a guy today about him getting carjacked in Atlanta sometime back. He was going to or from a costume or halloween party dressed as Fred Flintstone. Was in an upscale part of downtown where old antebellum homes had been turned into condos, with the windows down and doors...

Does anyone know of a source to look up what Texas establishments are "51%" (of sales come from alcohol for on-premisis consumption)? I have seen a place posted 51% that surprised me, and others not posted 51% that I wonder if really are and just don't have the proper sign posted.

Does anyone know of a good source that tells what the various stamped markings on a Colt First Generation Single Action Army represent?

Well sports fans, I'm proud to announce rattle snake season is officially here in my part of the world.

I got some old movies for Christmas, among them Firecreek with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda. In the movie Jimmy Stewart uses a revolver that has me scratching my head as to what it is. At first glance it appears to be a SAA Colt type including the ejector rod on the bbl but it is a double...

What is the proper way to carry a Colt gov't 380, cocked and locked like a regular 1911, or some other way due to the lack of a grip safety?

I recently fired a friend's Colt Gov't 380, and noticed the safety will not engage in the safe (upward) position while the hammer is cocked. He said he thinks that is the way it has been since he had it, but this does not seem right to me. Should the safety engage while the hammer is cocked as...

I have been trying to find out a little about Nazi era Walther PPK pistols, and not finding a whole lot of information on the markings etc. that might tell the date of mfr. or other clues on a PPK. Any ideas on where I might look to gain some knowlege? A friend showed me one he has, and am...

I have the current understanding that the main battle rifle of the Korean War (Conflict?) was still the M1 (Garand) rifle. Was this standard issue for all troops including officers, or were officers issued something different? My Father-in-law is a Korean Vet (Lt), and if the Garand was likely a...

This is all second hand, don't know the Manager, but brings up some things to think about for me. Manger of a quickie lube place has an employee who is consistently late, no show, no call etc. The employee shows up and the Manager finally writes him up for these offenses. Employee: you better...

I have a Sears 25 / High Standard A1041 that has a broken or missing top ramp spring. I have a new spring, and am attempting to remove the barrel to install it. I have removed the two roll pins, and the barrel moves pretty freely for the first 1/16" - 3/32" and then gets tight again. Is there...

I have a Remington Nylon 10 single shot bolt action that when the bolt handle is pushed into the downward position (after cycling the action), the firing pin indicator on the back of the bolt drops aprox. half way forward (with a pretty loud 'click') rather than staying cocked all the way as I...
