    My First Encounter with a "Fudd"

    I got into a discussion with an acquaintance of mine yesterday; and I thought you folks might be interested to hear about it. He was talking about how he was critical of Bush for allowing the assault weapons ban to expire. I piped up that I was opposed to the ban, and we got into a...

    Vintage S&W Price Check

    What would a fair price be for a S&W pre-Model 10 with a broken hammer nose and timing problems (doesn't lock up in single action)? I have a pretty good idea of values for good condition revolvers, but I don't know what would be fair to pay for a "fixer upper" like this. Thanks.

    New Holster Stocks?

    Mods: I wasn't really sure whether to post this here or under Firearm Accessories, since it's kind of a legal question about a firearm accessory. Feel free to move this as you see fit. I was browsing the knives at Atlanta Cutlery today, and was surprised to see that they sell holster-stocks...

    Interesting Knife Accessory

    I saw this interesting rig on Ebay the other day. I guess you could call it a "quick-draw" holster for a Buck 110. I am considering making something similar, but I have some concern that it might not hold the knife securely enough. I am also concerned that, although it would make the...

    An Essay Regarding Self-defense

    Mods, I wasn't sure where to post this. Feel free to move it to wherever you feel it belongs. I wrote the following essay on a whim and thought I would share it with you guys and gals. I was considering my own views concerning self-defense and decided to write them down. If I can satisfy...

    S&W Revolver: Locking Bolt/Extractor Rod Problem

    I dropped my S&W pre-model 10 a while back, and bent the extractor rod. After a little bit of trouble locating the correct replacement part, I installed a new extractor rod. To my disappointment, I found that the locking bolt doesn't always want to lock into the new extractor rod. If the...

    Mauser 1914 questions

    I looked at a Mauser 1914 at a gun shop today, and the weird little thing really spoke to me. It was in good condition and appeared to be nickeled, although it may have just been brightly polished in the white. I'm considering getting it if I can scrape up the money. Is $300 a fair price...

    Question for Chicago Residents

    Not sure if this should be here or in Legal. Move if necessary. I have a friend who will be moving to Chicago soon, and I've been trying to research self-defence options for her. Of course, guns are pretty much out of the question unless things change drastically. She already carries...

    Israeli Knife Law

    Can anybody tell me what the laws are in Israel regarding carrying a knife? I've searched this forum as well as a general "Google" search and have turned up nothing. I am traveling to Israel this summer and would like to know if I can carry a Leatherman or similar multi-tool. Does...

    Interesting Colt Army Special

    I came across an interesting old Colt Army Special at a local gun shop. It has a 2" barrel and is chambered in .41 Colt. It is in good condition, with about 80-90% blueing. I suspect that it was re-blued, since it looked like it may have had some pitting under the finish. The grips are...

    Target Shooting in Indiana

    I'm getting frustrated trying to find somewhere to target shoot in north-central Indiana! There are only two ranges in my area: one charges more for membership than I can afford; the other is an FOP range. I can shoot there if I become an associate member of the FOP, but I can't for the...

    CVA Walker questions

    I've wanted a Walker for a long time. I found a used CVA Walker in very good condition for $175 at my local gun shop. Is that a good deal? It seems like it to me. I was wondering about the quality of the CVA replicas. How does the CVA Walker compare to other companies' replicas...

    Looking for a holster...

    I've looked everywhere for a black leather full flap holster that will fit my N-frame S&W with a 3 1/4 inch barrel. I want it to "drop" like most police holsters, so it doesn't ride too high. I'm sorry my holster terminology is lacking, I hope you know what I mean. I can't find one...

    .327 Magnum...

    Okay, sometimes something will pop into my head and I just have to investigate it. :scrutiny: I understand that the m1895 Nagant revolver will shoot pretty much any kind of .32 ammo, including the .32 H&R Magnum. So, will it shoot the new .327 magnum? I know nothing about the .327...

    S&W Model 10--Year of Manufacture?

    In what year was this gun made? Pre-model 10 Smith and Wesson military and police revolver; long action; .38 special caliber; six inch barrel; serial number 961309. It also has a lanyard ring, which seems odd to me. The military never used six inch M&Ps did it? Was that a common feature...

    Cattaraugus 225Q

    I found a WW2-issue Cattaraugus 225Q without a sheath for $40. It has all the signs of hard use, but seems solid. I think it would clean up pretty nice. Is $40 a fair price? It seemed a little steep to me, but I don't have any idea how much they're going for.

    Paragon shotgun

    I recently purchased single shot 12 ga from a hawk shop. It says "Paragon" on one side of the receiver and "Model W. S." on the other side. I'm afraid I can't remember the serial number. I'm curious about its age. Can anybody tell me the approximate production run of that model?

    Schrade hunting knife

    I found a Schrade hunting knife at a flea market for $50. It is used, but in excellent condition. I didn't see a name or model number on it, but it has about a six inch bowie-style blade, brass finger guard, imitation stag handle, and a nice tan leather sheath with a sharpening stone pouch...

    Baby Browning Problems

    I have a Bauer Baby Browning copy. It has worked fine until yesterday when it suddenly and inexplicably refused to feed anything. There seems to be a problem with the magazine. If I only load 2 rounds, it will cycle them fine, but if I load 3 or more, it refuses to feed, even by manually...
