Been here since October, still haven't found one and with spring coming on...you can fill in the rest.:uhoh: Can you help?

Title says it all. I have been an Old School 1911 user to this point. Like I have a choice at my age? Well, a good friend convinced me to sell him my Kimber Custom II Target (the only 1911 OR .45 ACP semi I owned). I was pretty happy with the Kimber, but there were a couple of .45 ACP loads I...

Just got back from the range. I christened a brand new Colt LE6920 mounted with an equally new Vortex Sparc II. The goal was sighting in and unfortunately, no camera. So the first question is did it really happen? lol The only thing I had done other than un-boxing and mounting the Sparc II...

Title says it all; http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=408727814 Looks interesting. What about 4 of these? Yes there are 4 pretty much identical currently listed. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=409169783 What of the French tradition of arms as...

I would like to start a general discussion on the pros and cons of the Marlin .308MX. Why? Because I have an unplanned opportunity to acquire a good JM marked example at what is lets say a very attractive price. As sometimes happens, the opportunity arose with no previous thought on my part...

I will begin by admitting I am among the "veteran" members over 55 years of age. I have recently been trying to resurrect a discipline, pastime, maybe "hobby" of my younger days. The venerable (and I think honorable) ritual of bullseye competition shooting. The conflict part comes into...

I have in my hand a blued S&W Mod 10-5 with a 2" barrel. This was purchased used a few months ago. I shot it extensively yesterday and observed that the cylinder was balky to open, rounds hung up a bit on ejection. The thumb-piece was bit stubborn to get to the full forward unlocked position...

I saw one other thread about the introduction of the R51. The introduction date is February 1, at least 2 weeks after that before you can hope to buy one in a brick and mortar gunshop. The original MSRP was $ 389.00! Amazingly low agreed, but just a few days later and not across the intro...

Back in March I got an opportunity to help a non-gunnie co-worker who had come into possession of some old revolvers and wanted to dispose of them. Among these was an old war horse Smith and Wesson sporting 90 years of honest holster wear and faux pearl grips that had what looked to be a burn...

...and I really don't like it. I don't like it anymore than I would a close and old friend inexplicably doing me dirt. I'll start this by saying that over my many years of annual NRA memberships I have seen some changes. Well, one could posit the environment and the challenges to RKBA have...

Just posting a request for turnaround times people have experienced recently in factory lettering their Smith's. I have a request in since April 26 (check cashed May 1) for a 1925 Military and Police .38. What is your recent experience? P.S. I am aware that 'ol Roy is busier than a 1 armed...

I'll be right up front. I am making this post to plug the services of Clark Custom Guns; http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/index.htm The back story, one of my bosses is not a gun person and she came into possession of 3 revolvers and enlisted my aid in getting rid of them (by selling all 3 to...

Not sure where to post this, but since I'm considering using in a Remington 597 here is as good as anyplace I guess. Does anyone have experience with this 40gr. plated round? I had a chance at a brick from Cheaper Than Dirt and took it. Yes it cost too much, but at least I got it. From...

I have come into possession of a Colt New Army .41. Sorry, no pictures until my son returns my camera. The revolver is a bit rough but far better than this one; http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=327463906 Just about anything would be. The unfortunate thing is that one...

Well, I've done it. A tired old stuck in the vintage Colt -S&W revolverite bought a plastic-fantastic wondernine. Came home today with an SA XD9 4" to <deleted>. In the interest of full disclosure I've had Ruger Mk II & III .22's and a small number of 1911s for awhile. That don't really count...

I don't claim to be a gunsmith, nor competent to carry a good one's shoes. I am interested in hearing from anyone who is familiar with this book about is usefulness to a layman. Thanks! https://www.palladiumpress.com/shop/GPR~Gunsmithing+Pistols+%26+Revolvers.htm

With the intent of creating a low cost assault rifle package in 7.62x39 I bought an unissued Romanian SKS. I put a cheap Tapco replacement stock on it with pistol grip, adjustable buttstock and rail on the heat shield just forward of the issue folding sight. It's OK for what I have in it, not...

I am 55 years old and am an "empty nester" meaning that finally I have watched my 2 sons "launched" like Khalil Ghibran's arrows. I have a bit more disposable income and have turned my thoughts toward "perfecting" my toolbox (read as collection of guns). I am of humble means so each spot I...

Ok so what do you think of this Gunbroker listing? Pick it apart if you can, I was about to post this thread and decided to use Buy it Now option, then post. Call me impetuous, or maybe call me cynical.:evil: Seem to be re-blued? Grips correct? Priced right...

Time to start thinking about bulk AR ammo. What opinions experience do you have with the above choice? Not happy with Wolf steel case, looking to upgrade.:confused:
