    1911 9mm extractor...

    Are 9mm extractors typically harder to remove than .45? To get mine out, I actually have to pry the hook back so it will go into the extractor tunnel. Makes fine tuning an extractor a pain, and I'll go through it again when I fit a spare... I'm used to my 45s sliding out with only a little...

    Bolt action .22S, L, and LR.

    Grrr. I'm posting from my phone. I got a call as I was about to hit the submit button, and lost my post. Rant over, back to typing on a tiny keyboard... Over the years, I've acquired wrong ammo (shorts, CB shorts) and crap ammo (X-pert, GBs) that dont cycle reliably in any of the semi autos...

    Need a holster for a 1911 with a TALL front sight.

    Years ago, I rebuilt my AMT hardballer into a dedicated host for a Ciener rimfire conversion with fixed sights... I know, I should have got the adjustable sight model, and would have, if I could have found one. Now the Ciener conversion has a hidden Bomar in the rear, with Novak blank up...

    Worn finish pics...

    I find myself drooling in the "Post Pics of Your xxx" threads because so many of the guns look flawless. So, how about a not so flawless pic thread? Carried the same gun 20 years? Use a beat up rifle for a trunk gun? Did your truck gun fall out of the truck? If you have a well-used...

    Stupid Qs about FL permit

    Here's the thing, I moved to TN in November or December, but I'm still in NC resident. I moved in with my mother when my wife walked out. I work graveyard shift, so I cant keep my daughter at night, and I cant watch her all day. Due to getting all my mail at a PO box, I cant prove that I live...

    Moving to TN. Have questions.

    I'm moving to Erwin soon, so I would imagine my NC CHP will no longer be valid (since NC doesn't do non-res, and I'll no longer be a resident), so I'm gonna have to get my TN permit. What I find a little vague is "When your application is processed at the Driver Service Center, you will be...

    CW9 sights.

    My wife really liked the CW9 she saw at the range yesterday, however she would prefer a night sight up front and a plain black rear. I'm assuming I could just spin the rear sight around backwards (like I did on my G19), however the night sight up front has proven to be a problem. So, does...

    Buying a Saiga...

    And I will be doing the conversion. Shortly after I bring it home. If I get it this far, my wife's grandfather has a drill press... I found this page, going by it, and it would appear that I can use a US FCG, stock and PG to make it legal, no matter what magazine I'm using. Sound right...

    1911 sight cut options

    My Para C745 will hopefully be getting hardchromed soon, and I'd like to look at sight cut options (and sights) before chroming. For simplicity, I've been thinking about having it cut for a Novak LoMount out back with a Novak dovetail up front. This would give me the option of a LoMount or...

    I have more money in my AMT than I do one of my Kimbers...

    A few years ago, I posted a poll about whether or not I should make my AMT a decent pistol. You can view it here, but please dont reply to it and bump it (if a mod would lock it, that would be fine by me). In short, it was a $200 POS that I couldn't get rid of because it was my first gun...

    So who's good at bbl work?

    The bbl on my CMMG dissy is a little heavier than I'd like, I'll probably have it turned down closer to the .gov profile. If I ever get the bbl for my AR45 I'll probably have it turned down too. So who'll do custom profiles? I was going to have Randall at AR15barrels.com do them, based on...

    Moving slowly...

    Alright, my lady and I are sick of this house, and are looking for one on the other end of the county (away from my family, closer to her's - that's a good thing). Untill we find one, her parents offered to let us stay with them. Personally, I think they just offered to let us stay there so...

    need cheap red dot reccomdations

    My upper from CMMG got here, so my EOtech and BUIS that was on my 9mm is now on a 5.56. My lady will still use the 9mm for a HD carbine, so I'd like to replace the EOtech with something a little more affordable, but something a little better than the $20 BSA red dots from wal-mart that need...

    37mm flare launcher is a WMD http://wlos.com/newsroom/nc/topstory/topstory1.shtml The profile: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=73545850 ETA: you have to be a member to see his gallery, and the only gun pics I saw was a 20" AR15 and a Walther G22.

    Cheap dual magazine/flashlight carrier?

    I'm looking for a dual magazine carrier that will also carry a surefire 6P, or the cheaper G2. Cheap nylon will work fine, since I'm not going to use it for magazines. I'm planning on using it my gerber multi-tool, the included bits, and a flashlight at work. Gerber in one slot, the bits...

    HD rifle for a mid 40s woman.

    I'm leaving the nest soon, and dont really want to leave Mama defenseless. Her boyfriend is an OTR driver so he wont be here every night. I dont really want to leave her a pistol because for one, I like all of mine, and two, longarms are easier to shoot accurately with less training. A...

    Loose 1911 slide/frame, innacurate w/ciener 22 upper?

    Are Ciener .22 uppers inaccrate on a really loose frame? I've got an AMT (most of one anyway) collecting dust that I thought about rebuilding into a .22, the rails are so loose that I was thinking about Krieger rails, however, its an AMT, so I cant really justify the cost (which is more...

    33 round mags are fun

    I dont like Glocks. A glock in my hand feels like putting one of my boots on the wrong foot. It just feels weird. Today I paid half on a pistol I dont like, just because 33 round magazines in pistols are fun. Its a police trade-in 2nd gen G17, worn on the outside, looks new on the inside...
