I bought a Glock field knife. I know I know, not everyones favorite but it was cheap on Ebay. The bevel angle seemed to be around 25 degrees so I set it up on my Lansky and sharpened away and then stropped it. It's as sharp as it can be really. Then as an after thought I questioned...

I haven't really been on here since 2004, life gets busy eh? But I've been out of the loop for a while and had a few questions about getting an assault rifle. I have used the search and read post after post and the problem I have is there are too many options out there. First of all is...

I have a parkerized Springfield loaded. The overall appearance is really dark. I was toying with the idea of adding some stainless accents. Like a stainless magwell, hammer, or maybe the slide release. Anyone done this? Have any pics? Just curious what it might look like. Thanks in advance.

I have a springfield loaded 1911. While I was cleaning it today I noticed that the plunger tube is loose. The rear pin will come away from the frame a few millimeters. Is this cause for concern? I noticed Brownells sells a plunger staking tool for aroun $30. Is this the best way to go about...

I want to take my dad to the range and teach him how to shoot. The problem is that he has pulmonary fibrosis and has to be on an oxygen tank. Is this dangerous? The warnings say no open flame. If it is a hazard to have him fire a weapon with the hose on could he leave the tank 10 feet...

I haven't shot this in months but tonight I decided to strip it and noticed it looks like some metal is missing. Is this broken? I can't remember if it supposed to look like this or not. It's a 92fs vertec with low rounds through it.

When Marines are drilling like in movies and such, what the heck is the DI saying? I hear "right shoulder huh" and then the rest of the movements are complete gibberish. giggity giggity goobity help collick help collick someting something huh. I just was curious what all he was...

I ordered an STI carbon-titanium trigger for my 1911 from Brownells and it arrived today. STI's website says the trigger is adjustable for take up and over travel. There is deffinetly an overtravel screw but I don't see any way to adjust the take up. The take is a bit longer or at least...

features the military(US army?) training manuals for pistol and rifle? I ran across a site that had the manuals a few months ago but after 30 minutes of searching I can't find them. Thanks in advance.

This isn't really a range report since many far more qualified people have been down that road already. I just thought I would share the impressions of a new 1911 owner on his first .45. I have owned the Springfield loaded for approx 20 days now. As of todays range trip I have shot 3000...

My sringfield loaded came with torx grip screws. The aftermarket is full of hex head screws. I was told that the original GI grip screws were not only slotted but they were concave in the slot so you could use a 45 cartridge to take out the screws. I want to be able to strip it without any...

My order from Brownell's came today with my standard guide rod and plug and the Ed brown 30 lpi MSH with all new Wilson parts and a Wolf 18# spring. I also got the Ed Brown extended mag base plates. The only thing I don't like is that the MSH is blued and the gun is parkerized so the MSH...

I was cleaning my 1911 today and my Brother was over and he said I was doing it all wrong. He was pretty peeved with how I was cleaning it so I thought I would run it by you folks. I completely detail strip the pistol. Everything is taken apart and laying out on an old Tshirt that I use as my...

Boring topic I guess but I figure it never hurts to ask. I know a lot of guys like to keep their pistols stock and that is really cool. I like to customize things, be it a car, computer, pistol etc..... Not to hang a bunch of useless crap on it so I have the newest best thing but I do...

Some may remember I made a post about budget 1911's and had pretty much decided on the Springfield Mil spec. Then when I got to the gunshop I noticed for around $200 more I can get the 1911 A1 Full size that has a better feeling adjustable trigger, Novak sights, a better dovetail out back, nicer...

Scary thing to happen, everyone was lucky in this one. Also, the stupid local news uses a glock graphic on their website for a hunting accident? That's fair and balanced http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_011604_news_hunter_shot.1f6bff71.html :rolleyes:

Seems a little premature for the finishe to be wearing off of such a young gun. Is this normal?

Good deal? Wrong Rifle? http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976400126.htm I want to get an AK but I'm sar1/sar2/wasr10/mak90'd out I think it looks like the sar1 and mak 90 are in my price range but I have no idea which is the best to go with.

I have a 3rd Gen Glock 17 and a Beretta 92fs Vertec. So both are full size 9mm pistols. I shoot them both equally well. Problem is, I don't need two full size 9mm's. I need one full size, a compact, a 1911......etc etc. Plenty of other pistols I want. I can't decide which to sell. What...

Okay, I want a 1911 style pistol. I haven't ever shot one and the only place here that rents pistols doesn't have a 1911. So basically I have to buy one. I want to get one but I can't spend a ton. I was thinking under $450. I want it to be cheap and something that I can build on (meaning...
