I have a 180 series Mini-14. Will the rear sight windage detent and spring for post 180 series rifles also work on the 180 series? I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it or trade it for a newer version, but either way I need to replace these parts. Thanks Maurice

Hi all, I picked up a Redhawk in .44 mag about two weeks ago. Does anyone have experience with Pachmyr grips on this gun? Its the 7.5 inch version. The wood grips are ok, but there is no texture at all on them and I have a hard time using HKS speed loaders with it- the factory grips get in the...

Hi all, This past weekend a buddy of mine picket up a handful of .22 single shot rifles. Two are in excellent shape and one is not so much. One of the rifles is an old FN .22LR bolt action like this one...

Hi all, I had a co-worker make me an offer I am having a hard time refusing. He is looking to sell his Remington 700 (by the description it sounds like a CDL) in 7mm Win Mag along with ammo, scope and rings for what seems to be a heck of a price ($400). Now I have no experience with this...

Hi all, I've had this little gun for a couple of years now and have never shot it. It has mostly just sat in the corner and looks pretty. The thing is I am getting the urge to shoot it. It was my grandpa's gun, built back in the 20s. He died when mom was 16 and when grandma died a couple of...

Hi all, A friend of mine recently bought a used STI 1911 from a local shop. The gun looks pretty good and the action is smooth as silk. When we were headed out to the range last week he handed it to me to look at. While checking the pistol to make sure it was not loaded I noticed the firing pin...

So I am swapping a buddy a 1991a1 for a USP 9 plus mags, holster and cash this week. Any stuff that is tacti-cool or otherwise needed? I owned this weapon once for about a couple of days, but this time I think I will hang onto it. Jet funnels? Lights? Holsters? Other than ammo, what should I...

Hi all, I am flying to Vegas and then driving back to Arkansas next month, and have a couple of questions regarding carrying a weapon. I understand in order to fly with a pistol you must have a locking box to store the pistol, and the ammo must be in its own container (no loaded mags)...

Hi all, I was at the local bookstore yesterday and while browsing through the bargain books (clearance) I came across "The M16" by John Huon. I have not had a chance to read through it yet, but just by flipping through the pages and reading excerpts from different sections it looks to be well...

With money from taxes coming and considering building an SBR, I have been looking at different options. How practical and how reliable is 6.8 in an (AR platform) SBR? Thanks, Maurice

Hey guys, I picked up a like new Colt 1991a1 yesterday and so far it is great. I have been kicking myself since I traded off my old one. Anyway, when detail stripping weapon to do a thorough cleaning job on it the firing pin plunger and spring came tumbling out and now I can't find the spring...

I'm looking at some 1911 pistols right now, and after shooting a friends Para Slim Hawg, I wanted to ask you guys what you thought about their fullsize models. I've got holsters, mags, and mag carriers from a 1911 I got rid of :banghead:. They look good from what I have seen, and the two I...

Here is the situation. I bought a S&W Sigma 40 enhanced from a cop I work with about a year, year and a half ago. Private transfer, etc. No paperwork needed. I recently sold this pistol to a friend who is in the Army. He was recently shipped to NC to prep for the sandbox. He registered the...

Hi all, I got a new computer recently, and didnt save my favorites from my old one. One that I really wish I had was for a dealer in south MO who dealt in a lot of police trade in pistols, demo guns, confiscated weapons, etc. I simply cannot recall the name of the company, let alone the url...

So I have decided I am getting a Sig 229 in .40 cal and am picking it up next week. It does come with 2 12 rd magazines, but thats never enough. Looking around it seems that the factory mags are a little pricy at 40 bucks a pop on places like auctionarms.com. There are the after market makers...

Hi all, Putting together my AR. Got the lower reciver taken care of. DPMS lower w/4 pos stock. Now I am looking at uppers. I like the idea of a 16" flat top upper. I am going to mount an Eotech/Aimpoint/Similar optic and one problem I am having is deciding to go with a standard front sight, or...

Looking at barrels for upcoming AR build. I dont have any problem with spending extra for the chrome lined bores and chambers, but are they really needed, or just recommended? Also, heavy fluted stainless barrels better than standard m4 profile, or am I spending more money for not much more...

Never claimed to be an artist, though. Hope this is gun related enough.

Hi all, I am looking for a concealment holster for my Taurus model 85. I've got my Colt for a main carry piece, but it is getting hot in NW AR, so I am thinking I will carry this one for when I am in shorts and t-shirt. Cost/brands/materials I am not worried about, just something suitable...

Title says it all. Found the little guy at the gun shop and it needed a home. Can I run +p .38 special ammo through it? Thanks Maurice
