The last Turk surplus I saw at a gun show was way more expensive than I'd be willing to pay. I still have some I bought when 70 round bandoliers were $4.20 each. When I bought my K.Kale for $100 out the door (expensive at the time, they were around $45-$50 by the dozen if a guy wanted that many)...

10 meters is farther than 30 yards? 30 yards is 90 feet. 10 meters is 32.808 feet. 10 meters is farther (by 2.808 feet) than 10 yards, but it's just over 57 feet (or 19 yards) SHORT of 30 yards.

Blkhrt13, I had the same issue initially. My 85T is one of the ported ones. Eventually I got used to it, but it took a few hundred rounds. Anyone who doesn't want to put in a bunch of range time should stay away from ultra-light short barrel revolvers. My 2" Model 10 is a whole lot easier to...

The first time I shot my Taurus 85T (total titanium) I thought there was something wrong with it. At about 15 yards when I walked up to the target there weren't any holes in it! A couple thousand practice dry fires when I was home alone and a several hundred rounds at the range and the issue...

Years ago I had an aluminum case Blazer .357 case separate in a new Rossi 92 I had just picked up. Case head extracted with about 1/8 inch of the case, the rest stuck in the chamber. But a year or so ago (maybe a little more) I got two cases of .38 special Blazer from an online source for about...

I just stumbled across this thread and it kind of made me laugh. I told my wife I wanted her to dump my ashes up on the North Slope under the Northern Lights. She hates the cold. She told me I'd never know if it was Alaska or a beach in Hawaii. So I suggested she just mix the ashes with some...

Valkman, I actually called the day you had to go see a doc for your injury. Happened to be in Las Vegas for something and asked if I could come out and see what you had ready. You were heading out about the time I called. If memory serves I had around a grand I wanted to spend. One of your...

A few years ago I bought two of the last 5 JM stamped Marlin .45 Colts a retail chain had in stock. Both on the same 4473, and everything looked good when I picked them up. A couple days later I get a call from the manager, he did something wrong and could I come back in and sign something. 45...

Love the show, and I don't like much on TV. Caribou, if you don't mind my asking, my wife (who also loves the show, especially Agnes and your kids) would like to know if there's any significance to the skull and crossbones on your sign. Wish I was tough enough to do what you do, but my wife put...

Georg, I've had a jw2000 for about 9 or 10 years and it doesn't show any signs of rusting despite it being behind the bedroom door in a house where we use an evaporative cooler all summer. It serves as a home defense gun and only goes in the safe when I leave town for a while. It has held up Ok...

I wouldn't tell anyone what to do either, but I sure wouldn't try to straighten a dent like that by putting a 3" shell in a 2 3/4" chamber. That wouldn't staighten a dent in any event, if the barrel was that soft it would have just worn through (dent or no dent) years ago. I have an old no...

I haven't logged on and posted on here for quite a while, but I have to throw my 2 cents in. I had a holster worn 15-3 that I took to Robar and had NP-3ed inside and out. Like others have posted it cost more than I could ever get back out of it, more than I paid for it, in fact. But it was worth...

I live in the country, closest neighbor at least 600 yards away down the hill. My wife has a S&W 15-3 in her nightstand drawer. My "home defense" shotgun is a JW2000 hammer double loaded with low recoil OO buckshot with a 5 round nylon shell holder on the stock. In the closet inside the front...

Dust 101, when I saw you mention the $145 I just had to have a look. LOL Typical e-bay power seller these days. Got a crapload of listings with not a single bid. I picked up two 507's, a 6OT and a couple other USA Schrades new in beat up boxes a couple years ago for $20 each (I posted pics on...

Holmen WI? PFCLEE11B, Holmen WI? I have a brother who lives there, and one who lives on French Island. Grew up on French Island. Unfortunately, I (and the copies of the owner's manual) am in CA now. edit: The owner's manual on one of the links I posted is the same one I have here(the green...

PFCLEE11B, http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_universal2.html http://www.maxicon.com/guns/universal_m1/universal_m1_carbine.html Check your e-mail. I have the actual owner's manual for this, I'll make copies tonight. Let me know.

Check the orientation of the gas piston plug. Universals (at least the later twin spring models) can be converted to single shot mode by removing the gas piston plug and turning it 180 degrees to cut off the gas flow to the piston. The directions to do this should be easy enough to find on the...

I had a S&W 15-3 with a lot of holster wear and an SP-101 completely NP3'd a couple years ago. The Ruger trigger smoothed out very nicely. The S&W trigger was already smooth, now it's really nice. The finish is holding up very well, and is easy to clean.On top of that the folks at Robar are just...

Yeah, I paid the $14 to be disappointed. I'm not even from the area, I was there on other business when I heard about it. I thought the Las Vegas gun shows were supposed to be great, so in I went. Live and learn. I did get 1K large pistol primers for a friend, but Miwall didn't have small pistol...

Condor chokes MT, the condor uses the same short flush tubes as a Mossberg 500. I use mine for a yard gun, since there is no barrel selector I keep both barrels choked the same (usually full, ground squirrels are tough little buggers). I have two IC, two M (one I got out of a box of marked down...
