    AMT Backup 380. Should I buy?

    $250 is about what they all go for around here (Oregon).

    M6 Survival Rifle

    A simple Google search would have brought you all the info you could stomach. Ithaca and Springfield made them. I have a Springfield, but it's the 22lr/410 version vs. 22 Hornet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M6_Aircrew_Survival_Weapon

    Anyone Carrying a Boberg or Bond Arms Bullpup?

    Where did you send your Boberg to, to have the internals coated? Is it just parts or the entire gun, and I suspect they know what they need to do? I have an XR9S, XR9L, and XR45S.

    AMT Backup 380. Should I buy?

    I went to a number of black powder pages where people replicate what was done in the past to make files, harden frizzens, etc. They generated carbon a number of different ways then heated surrounded by carbon in a contained space to case harden, with longer times being associated with deeper...

    AMT Backup 380. Should I buy?

    I should mention I've only run ball ammo through mine, not hollow point. I think I've seen mentioned that hollow points might not feed, somewhat similar to the AMT Hardballer... But I haven't tried yet.

    AMT Backup 380. Should I buy?

    I bought one for $240, SAO. It shot well and I never had a problem with it. Not exactly pleasant to shoot as others have mentioned. They will beat your hand up! But I like the size and that it's all metal. I saw another SAO at the local GS for $165 with a leather holster. Stuck firing pin and...

    Any known source for .35 S&W Auto ammo?

    I've been shooting mine with 32acp for years with no problems.

    Tangfolio Witness. What to know?

    I have a Witness Elite Match I picked up quite a few years ago. Very nice, nice looking, accurate 9mm.

    amt

    Interesting the problems people seem to have had. I have an AMT Hardballer, 2 AMT Backup 380s, and 1 AMT Backup 22lr. All bought used. All have run flawlessly.

    compact .45 1911

    Para Warthog is 24oz vs. EMP 9 at 26.7oz. I bought a used Warthog many years ago and after replacing the worn extractor, I have had no problems with it. But of course, Para is no more...

    Wow.. just wow - went to a gun show yesterday

    We are lucky to have a really good show run by a local club twice a year. Free for members, no parking fee, etc. But we are shut down in Oregon so we might not see a show until fall. I pretty much always see at least *something* interesting there. Don't always buy anything, but I've found some...

    New .22 rifle: Springfield 87a

    The click-clack action is a feature that some people really like. Me, I don't care either way. Still a cool rifle. And can shoot really quiet rounds because it can be shot in single shot mode by locking the bolt.

    New .22 rifle: Springfield 87a

    I pulled mine out of the safe a few weeks ago and had forgotten this, LOL. Have to take it apart to get the rounds out of the stock so it will work properly. Also had it go full auto once when a screw loosened up. It dumped the magazine in a second.

    22/45 bolt won't go back in

    Hope you figured it out. For fun, I pulled my Mk III 22/45 out of the safe a week ago and pulled it apart but couldn't get it back together. So I looked closely at what I needed to do. 1) When reassembling, the hammer needs to be *back*, not forward. Slide the bolt in. 2) You now have to put...

    TNW ASP

    Is that stock adjustable in any way?

    AMT's On Duty Pistol that never went on duty.

    I have two AMT backup 380's, an AMT backup 22lr, and an AMT Hardballer 45. I haven't had any issues with any of them up to this point. They've all worked great. Perhaps previous owners debugged them somehow before I got hold of them.

    .22 conversion for 1911

    Back a decade or more ago I did some research and got the Marvel conversion unit. There appears to be more available now. But the Marvel unit has worked very well and I don't tend to use HV ammo.

    Does anyone mfg a .22 Cal that can be (factory!) upgraded to 9mm?

    There are a number of 9mm handguns that have 22lr conversion units available.

    Range time with some new guns yesterday

    PX4 Subcompact in 9mm is fun to shoot.
