    New Sig

    Have had a P6 for a few years, and it was always my most favorite pistol; alas, it was also the only Sig I'd ever owned. It had held duty as a glovebox gun, class-taking pistol, CCW, night stand gun, new-shooter-trainer gun, competition pistol (mostly informal), and tinkering project. As a...

    Critique My M16A4gery Build

    Hokay, so as the title says, I'm not looking to build a super-duper-3gun-Nat'l Match-coyote-2.5" tactical entry-zombie defense gun, I'm building the closest thing I can get (in a couple of ways, better) to the M16A4, in the current "Uncle Salty's Misguided Children" (USMC :D) style. This is...

    Rifle/class Compatibility?

    I'm in the process of building, little by little, part by part, no expense spared, a USMC M16A4--20" gov't profile barrel, KAC M5 RAS, Trijicon TA31RCO-A4, A2 fixed stock, etc. Parts sources are mainly BCM (upper assembly, bolt carrier group, and charging handle), LMT (lower parts and stock)...

    Kel-Tec SU-16C

    Does Kel-Tec still make these, or did they stop production in favor of their SU-22s? I haven't seen one available from a retailer in months. :confused:

    Sig P6 Modification Question

    I'm in the process of ordering a full set of replacement springs for my P6, which is also my carry pistol, and I noticed that Top Gun Supply also has P225-compatible hammers in stock. What I'm wondering is this: if I was to order a replacement hammer, and grind off the hammer spur (to help...

    For Those Who Carry in Oklahoma...

    For everyone who has a CHL in Oklahoma, how long did was the wait between sending in all the paperwork and actually getting the license?

    Modern "Christy Knife?"

    With all the recent hubbub about Christy knives, made worse by them not being made anymore, I was wondering what a modern replacement/ version would be. Necessary features: Blade no longer than 2.5" Non-fixed blade Blade locks and unlocks one-handed Can be opened in a pocket (meaning, no...

    Boker 1918 Trench Knife?

    http://www.boker.de/us/index.php?c=3000&a=121918&s1=1918&s2=0&s3=9999&p=&pp=0 I'm pretty interested in getting one. Has anyone here had any experience with them? Would be used for "just 'cause." :D And yes, I know of another place that has 'em for less than that posted MSRP. Other...

    "Restoring" a Sig P6?

    I love my P6, but as the "Sig Snobs" will always point out, it's not quite a P225. Mine's got a good amount of holster wear, but only on the slide. I'm curious as to what y'all would recommend as the best course of action regarding refinishing--should I send it off to Sig to get it...

    Taurus 941 Questions

    I've always been a fan of the "one caliber, multiple guns" concept. Thing is, the only gun I've got at the moment is a Remington Model 12CS in .22 WRF. I need a smaller gun to go with it, and the Taurus 941 looks like a good option. Except... 1) How well does .22 WRF work out of a revolver...

    Best Place for "Correct" Bluing?

    The rifle in question is a Remington Model 12CS, the pump-action .22WRF designed by Pedersen (of the 1903 "Pedersen Device"). It needs a professional re-bluing, since most of the finish is essentially gone. It's from Feb. 1929, if that matters; I know many of you are going to decry my...

    Camping Equipment Questions

    Going to be going on a camping/ hiking trip with a friend in SE Oklahoma in about a month or so, and had a few questions regarding people's experience with various camping tools. Keep these in mind: - We are doing this on the cheap, with plans to spend no more than $40 apiece for...

    Opinel, Laguiole, etc.?

    Case, Cold Steel, Chris Reeve, Spyderco, Benchmade, and custom makers--this is all I ever seem to hear about on THR. Granted, they're all really good, but anyone who knows me, knows I like unconventional stuff. I've been browsing around through various unusual knife sites, and two...

    How Do You Store Your Take-Downs?

    Specifically, how do y'all store your take-down rifles, like lever Winchesters, Marlin Papooses, AR-7s, and so forth (maybe even AR-15s)? Do you leave them "put together," or do you separate the halves? I've got my grandfather's Remington Model 12CS (I think that's what it is) in .22...

    One of Each, but for Resilience

    Resilience, meaning resistance to the worst possible elements ever. Unlike other threads, this is not an "If you could only have one of each." This would be in addition to what you already have. Choices should preferably be geared toward combat usage, therefore reliable and easy to employ...

    Make Sure You Have Enough Ammo!

    Had a weird dream last night. Forgot most of it by now, but one major part I remember was I was traipsing about the countryside (somewhere in Europe) with a bunch of my friends, dressed in tweed and apparently off to do "something about the whole situation." I was armed--get this--with a C96...

    Honest Opinions Needed - AR Furniture

    I've got some Krylon Fusion "Satin Espresso" paint, and was thinking of doing my AR stock, fore end, and PG with it. I whipped up the above photo with the rifle in question in GIMP just to see what it might look like, and I think it's got potential. :) Of course, this is my only AR, so I...

    Funny What Happens When...

    Funny what happens, or what might happen, when you help someone move and/or unpack. A friend from school recently got herself a new house (for rent) and guilted me into helping her yesterday. :rolleyes: :) As we moved a few things into her bedroom, I noticed a familiar shape on the bed--a...

    Disassembling an AR Telestock?

    How is it done? Must the whole assembly be removed from the lower receiver, or can it be left on? I want to get mine apart for refinishing, but I honestly don't know how. :uhoh::o
