    How long does it take to get a Buyer Protection response from GunBroker?

    Had a purchase go sour at the end of December - I paid with a Money Order, but the seller refused to ship the gun and will not respond to communications. I filed a Buyer Protection Program claim with GB at the end of January...and have heard nothing since. I also filed a mail fraud report, but...

    What's up with P7 prices?

    I was pricing HK P7s on GB, and the prices have gone insane. $3K or more for a police surplus PSP? $4K for a P7M8? I don't even want to think of what my factory .22 P7K3 would fetch. But why? Yes, they are metal guns (meaning prices are over $1K). Unusual action. Flat. Well-made. But...

    Gun Kickstarter?

    Kickstarter has become a way to raise capital for projects - games, books, what-have-you. If enough people pledge funds, the project goes forward and the people putting in money get a copy. If there isn't enough interest, the project goes away and nobody loses money. I'm wondering if this...

    Python or L-frame?

    I've got an itch for a 6-inch barreled revolver. I'm torn between a Python or a S&W 586. Cost counts...but it isn't critical. What I'm looking for is a good, accurate gun, mostly for single action. Might shoot some NRA bullseye revolver matches with it. Thoughts?

    Which "pill bottle" micro-can?

    I'm looking at the new "pill bottle" micro-cans, both the Tornado Tech Oxy-22 and the GSL Pill Box. Does anyone have any experience with either? This would not be my first .22 can...nor my second or even third. But they are appealing for the super-small size. TIA.

    Is there a reliable GPS luggage tracker?

    I am trying to compete at the World Muzzle-Loading Championships...and the airlines have lost my gun case. Lost it two days ago, no idea where it is. Does anyone make a GPS tracker for baggage? Not a “where is it on the conveyor belt” job, but a “where is it in the world?” unit. I desperately...

    Foreign travel with muzzle-loading firearms - how to e-file EEIs?

    I'm going to be traveling overseas with muzzle-loading firearms to the World Muzzle-Loading Championships in three weeks. I've got the appropriate CBP Form 4457s for the guns (had those for years), but there is a new system requiring us to apply for an export permit...

    Need advice on IOL for cataract surgery

    I'm facing cataract surgery in the near future. Left eye first, right eye most likely in a year's time. The problem being picking a lens. Both eyes have refractive errors. Left eye has a small amount of astigmatism, right eye a significant amount...enough that if I read without glasses, my...

    Are we making a mistake starting newcomers with rifle?

    Scrubbing out my musket after the N-SSA Nationals, it occurred to me that we make a mistake starting people out with rifle. The biggest complaint new BP shooters have is cleaning, which takes far longer than revolver or breechloading carbine. I can have a revolver clean as a whistle in under...

    Gun Culture 3.0?

    Looking at the strategic situation, I think we're on the verge of a big shift in the gun culture. Gun Culture 1.0 was hunting-centric. Signature rifle was a sporterized Mauser or '03 Springfield. Signature pistol was the S&W Model 10...maybe. Pistol shooting wasn't a high priority. It...

    Fire Mission for Capandball YouTube Channel

    The YouTube people just took the ads off, which will make it harder for the people making the Capandball videos to operate. If you could spare a few bucks, we can get more good BP videos. Full disclosure: I know the guy. Grade-A shooter, a credit the the world BP community. I'm putting in...

    What companies do special-run commemorative guns to order?

    Sig-Sauer will do special runs of engraved guns for group orders. Small groups, like 20 or so. Does any other firm offer this service? TIA.
