Suggestions on the best place to order an ASP or autolock or comparable baton? Had one of the cheapies and it fell apart in use... NOT GOOD! Now need a quality replacement ASAP, so looking for the right balance of good price and reliability. Heard too many bad stories about Botach, for...

I'm looking to get into muzzleloaders, primarily from a theatrical/re-enactment point of view. For what I want to do, a flintlock would probably be more accurate than a caplock, but I have no idea how big a difference it'll make in terms of convenience, reliability, etc. Any thoughts from...

Hopefully this isn't too stupid a question, but I'll start by admitting straight up that I know next to nothing about black powder firearms and other antique styles- only real firearms I own are modern (870, Steyr M40, Browning .22). My non-firing or blank firing replicas waaaay outnumber the...

Found this: Over here: http://users.frii.com/gosplow/sks.html Any idea if that's true? Would this be for firing blanks for training excercises, or is this somehow connected to the grenade launching blanks? Would the action cycle if it's for training use? Been wanting a semi-auto...

Anybody know if those generic 12ga shotgun heat shields will fit over a vent rib barrel on an 870? Thanks! -Kevin

Howdy! I'm new to the world of shotguns, so (keep and) bear with me: I was kindly given one of my dad's old shotguns, an 870 wingmaster, and I'm looking to give it a facelift. Don't want to do anything permanent, since I'd like to still be able to go duck-hunting with it sometime, but I also...

Can anybody identify this for me? Got it off ebay, like it, but there's no brand name or anything, and I'd like to find out how to re-set the combination. Was hoping to google a manual or something, but I don't even really know what to call it... I have the current combo and the key, and...

Sounds like I'll be getting my first shotgun this Summer (One of my dad's old 870s), and I'll need a locking case for it (both for safety at home and to fly on airlines with it). Suggestions for a good but relatively inexpensive shotgun case? I do have a couple of the cheap molded plastic...

I imagine many of you have seen the headlines about this recent shooting here in Seattle, many of them focusing on the lifestyles of those involved, the array of weaponry owned by the perp, etc. This isn't the best writing in the world, but I thank her for saying it. Posted in the Seattle...

Anybody with a press willing to crimp off some spent shells for me? I'm needing some totally inert (dimpled primers are fine- no big deal) 12ga shells to use on film set when we need to show people loading guns they're not going to fire, or to dress up prop guns with shell holders. I'm happy...

...overdue birthday present for my Dad, who helped install bamboo flooring in our kitchen last year. Yes, flooring scraps were used in the knife. No, the floor you see behind it is not the bamboo floor. Blade and mosaic pins from Texas Knifemaker's supply. The rest is me- click on image to...

Howdy! I'm looking for suggestions of either gunsmiths to do mods or places to buy pre-made barrels with restrictors enabling blank fire in semi or full auto firearms without jamming. I've been doing theatre and film props armoury stuff for a while now, but mostly small time low budget...

Last minute, but in case anyone in Seattle feels like seeing some cheesy gun action, a film that I worked on last year is showing in Seattle tonight. "Bullets, Blood, & a Fistfull of Ca$h". 7pm at the Egyptian on Cap Hill. Not really a release yet, just overflow from the cast & crew...

Not dummy guns, dummy buyers... myself, specifically. Can anybody give the Cliff's Notes version of what C&R is all about? Been scoping out cheap rifles, and lots seem to be surplus imports... but there seems to be a lot of fine print about what you can put new stocks or other parts on...

Got down to check out <a href=http://www.championarms.com>Champion Arms</a> this last weekend- they've just been open for a couple weeks now, and it's still a work in progress. Should be nice when they're done though. Gunshop & Indoor range, right down by the Ikea in Renton/Kent. Still bare...

Okay, I haven't gone hunting myself in a long time, and that was just ducks... but my dad's an avid hunter, does black powder and rifle season for deer and elk, and occasionally antelope. Also does duck, goose, pheasant, and small game on occasion. Still hoping to join him someday, but it...

Looking for a universal cleaning kit (well, .22, .40, .38, and hopefully in the next couple years 12ga and 7.62 or somesuch). I had a cheapie Hoppe's kit, but the platic part on the rod attachment broke, so it's not so useful anymore. Suggestions for a good cheap cleaning kit? What about...

Just a thought, since we're getting to that time of the year, and I bet you could sell some around here... There's plenty of places online that will print up calendars for you, if you don't want to deal with the logistics of that yourself. -Kevin

Getting to where I'm starting to plan things into '06. Anybody know if there are any fun gunnie or accessory companies out there that give out free calendars, posters, etc? Just thought it might be fun to have an appropriate calendar for the toy room, and something from S&W, Surefire, etc...

Went to the social security office to get a new card yesterday, and was surprised by the sign out front. Your standard gov't building 'no weapons' sign, but with three pictures on it: A 1911, a Spyderco style clip knife... and a multitool. Stand back folks, he's got a pair of pliers...
