Any ideas on the current value of the GSG-5 .22's? I have one I bought NIB about 8 months ago; recently heard they may have stopped production. Has that affected their value? jw

I have an opportunity to pick up a Colt CAR-15 for $1000. Late 70's or early 80's production. 85-90% condition. My AR's are much newer and are not Colts, which I would assume are more valuable. Any ideas? I DID pick up the M14A - a Federal Ordnance model with hinged buttplate. Looks to...

I had a welder friend of mine make me a 12 inch hanging target out of 5/16" steel. Set them up last weekend with some friends at 100 meters and was surprised to see that virtually everything penetrated easily. I'm going to have him make a double thickness and a triple thickness disc and...

Some of you have seen the reloading bench I built in my garage: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=333724 After looking around at the offerings available for gun cabinets, I decided to build my own. I found some popular mechanics plans free on the web and then I went to town, almost...

Is there any reasonably priced .30 carbine ammo available at this time? Milsurp preferably. I have found Wolf for $215 for 1000; that seems to be the best so far. jw

http://alliedarmament.homestead.com/50rounddrum.html I may be getting in line for one of these. If it's reliable, it's a pretty decent increase in firepower without a giant increase in size. jw

I'm wanting to shorten my Colt python barrel to 2.5". Since new stainless barrels are virtually impossible to find, I am considering having a high quality gunsmith do the job. Any recommendations on someone that could handle this correctly? Best, jw

Where can I find a good shooting gong that will stand up to long use? jw

Drove up to my son's place near Fayetteville, NC yesterday and shot all day. A great time was had by all! Additional pics here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jwxspoon/ShootingDay22308 Highlight of the day - sinking an old radio controlled boat with an M1 garand. :) jw

I traded for a Colt Python from a member here a couple of months back. Didn't have a chance to use it until yesterday. This weapon had the hammer bobbed and trigger jewelled prior to the trade, so it is DAO. Cylinder locks up tight and appears to function correctly. Fired 3 cylinders of...

I just got a box of Berry's 185 flat point plated bullets in last week. I'm looking for a good basic load for HP38 or Longshot for a plinking load. I'm thinking of starting with 5.0 grains of HP38 and then working my way up. Any other ideas with these two powders? Many thx, jw

I've coveted a Russian SVT-40 for some time. They are not rifles that are easy to find. I was 'chewing the fat' at a local gun shop and met an older guy that collects milsurps. To make a long story short, he called me a few weeks later and offered to sell me a pristine SVT-40 for $450. I'm...

Got my new reloading bench finished up yesterday. I built it to be pretty close to the plans and specs from the reloading association that's floating around the web. The result is a BIG bench, and heavy, close to 400 pounds. But it sure is nice.

I just picked up a new revolver and I'm very intrigued by its potential history. It's a Colt Police Positive Special in .38 Special. Serial number is 34-2678. I believe this was a police department presentation weapon, because "IPD No.21" is stamped on the bottom of the butt. I don't...

Has anyone here used the EBC or EBC2 from the http://www.lovemyguns.com/index.html site? I am seriously considering picking one up but I'd love some feedback from someone that has actually used it. jw

I've picked up a couple of sealed tins of this ammo and it is in a 300 round linked belt. Any suggestions on how to easily delink it? jw

I'm looking for a decent concealed carry holster for winter carry of my new 325PD (2.5" barrel). Anyone have any suggestions? jw

In traveling across the internet I see lots of forum threads about what can and can't be done, and what skills are 'good' or 'adequate'. It got me to thinking about what I consider to be good shooting for me. A little background, I am ex Army and my Dad was an FBI agent. I've been shooting...

I was reading Combat Handguns magazine last night and noticed an EAA advertisement for a "Zastava". A quick check of their website showed me this: http://www.eaacorp.com/zastava-ez-description.html I've got an EAA Witness P Carry compact in .45, and it's a great little pistol. I am...
