    Need help puting a value on these sheath knifes

    Howdy All, I’m hoping someone will help me put a fair market value on the below knifes I got into for my sheath making endeavor. I do not believe these are the Pakistani ones you see floating around – though they are not stamped with a manufacturers ID – no ID stamps at all. All are...

    $600 Mosin Nagants and other high priced Pawn Shop guns

    Today while perusing the shelves of a local Pawn Shop I found a Mosin Nagant carbine who’s price tag caught my eye. At first I thought, wow, a good price on this classic rifle. Then confusion started creeping into my mind as the price tag that I thought I saw said $60.00, actually said...

    Taurus Revolver Security System - how to disable it?

    Today I traded for a used Taurus Ultra Lite, .38 Spec revolver. It seems like a well made gun. (FWIW - this is the second Taurus Revolver I own - the other one works flawlessly) The problem I have with it is that it has the “Taurus Security System”. I’m talking about the Taurus key lock...

    Crescent Davis .410 bolt action shotgun

    I could not help myself. On my way home from work today I somehow managed a detour to a local Pawn Shop that every now and then has something unique and inexpensive. They actually had a few more guns than when I was in there last time but the overall selection was still poor. On one of the...

    Gunsmithing costs, D&T receiver for scope bases, too much $$

    I know things in general cost more now than they did last year or ten years ago. But checking out the cost to have an older .22RF rifle drilled and tapped for scope mounts brought me sticker shock. The least expensive gunsmith I could find to do the work locally was $20 PER HOLE. :what...
