I received a book request today from a new customer. He's looking for a softcover title called "Book of the M1 Carbine" and he gives the author as "Reich" or "Rike". Does anyone know the correct title? I can find it listed anywhere. Thanks!

Does any one own a copy of George C. Nonte Jr's book, Pistolsmithing?. Alas, the Louisville free public library doesn't have it. According to the Google Book search, it has an index entry, "Filing curved surfaces", page 181. I'm just wondering what kind of detail it provides before I order the...

the honorable 1911Tuner said, in an ancient thread: I too prefer the classic lines and I don't like upswept "duck butt" safeties. Another GI 1911 fell into my clutches this week and this time, I swear, the only mod I am interested is fixing the gripsafety so it no longer bloodies my mitt...

Are all Kimber Heritage models "Series O" guns? Or are they Series I or II, depending? If there is a heritage model in each series, how do you identify the series? A local shop has an unfired heritage model for $800. I've only seen the left side, and the billboard reads "Kimber Heritage" and...

SportShooters Indoor Range GSSF Indoor League Starts in September so for the date in August that we would normally have a GSSF Match (the 20th) we will have a "GSSF style" indoor match that anyone can shoot in. We are calling this our "Glock Challenge Match" because we are allowing all...

Hi, as someone who "swore off" revolvers about five years ago, I now suddenly find myself in possession of two airweight snubs and a 3" model 10 with a square butt and a tapered barrel. I've put 100 rds through the model 10 and it's just the coolest thing since sliced bread! I remember...

Ok, I've decided that 2005 is the year that I will buy a 3" revolver in chambered in .357 magnum. I need recommendations for an iwb rig. Yeah, I know, those cylinders have girth. But I carry an G30 IWB with no problem. Right now I am leaning towards a ruger SP101 or possibly even a ruger...

Is anyone here familiar with the pistolsmithing services provided by Gemini Customs, Marc and Karen Morganti, of Frankfort, Kentucky? http://www.geminicustoms.com/ I did a search here and elsewhere but couldn't find much. If you're familiar with their work can you recommend them?

It seems like the first cut that everyone makes on their GI milspec 1911s is the good ol flare o' the ejection port. Is this really necessary for 100% reliablity? My springer non-GI "milspec" (now in someone else's safe) came with a stock flared ejection port, yet the brass practically...

the subject line describes what I am looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me where holster makers buy the aluminum dummies that that they use to mold holsters for handguns? How much do they cost?

I recently bought a remington 870 magnum, 18.5" barrel The only mods that I want to run are a recoil pad and sling, a 4-shell side saddle and a light. How do I attach a light? All of themounts that I can find require a mag extension. Will I need a mag extension to mount a light? I don't...

What is the difference between the Smith & Wesson 908 and 3913 series. I can't tell the difference, except that all 908s that I've seen, except one (at Galyans) have the black finish. Does anyone know?

I am considering buying a .22LR handgun for the exclusive purpose of killing rats and I need suggestions on what to buy. I am in the "cultural artifacts" business and my summer project is the excavation of a fire damaged building that has been sitting vacant for four years. It is rat...

I admit, I am asking you to help me do my homework. My searches on THR don't seem to be yielding the results that I am looking for. I need references in the form of web links or names of organizations that provide some indication about how state and city police departments feel about CCDW...

I live in Louisville and I will be traveling to Nashville, TN for a few days on business this coming week. I will have a lot of down time. Can anyone recommend any gun stores in or around Nashville, specifically if I am shopping for 1911s and clay guns? If posting names, contact info here is...

I recently purchased a Springfield Milspec 1911 GM which I really like. However, I'm having the same problem that I've always had with the USGI grip safety - it's biting the heck out of the backside of my hand. To be clear - it's not the hammer - it's the saftey. I figure that I have four...

I am shopping for defensive ammo that I can also afford to use as practive ammunition. And I need a lot of practice. The soon to be daily carry weapon - A springfield milspec 1911A1. I'm planning on keeping it stock, except for a possible extactor swap (for a Ed Brown Hardcore) and extractor...

Ok, I'm not a total 1911 noob. I have owned three 1911s (all government models) before. Being an idiot, I sold them off to fund other purchases in an attempt to find "the ultimate (for me) carry gun". After a solid year of daily concealed carry of smaller autos I've come to realize that...
