There are so many to remember, this is the most recent http://militarytimes.com/valor/

Any thoughts? I haven't had a chance to handle the gun yet so not sure of condition.

There's been a couple threads that reference the Hague Convention. I thought posting the text of the section in question might clear some things up. The basic reasoning behind the ban on expanding bullets is in the Declaration of St. Petersburg; November 29 1868...

Thompson Center 41mag with case and Tasco 4 power scope. 550xxx Looks to be almost unfired. I'm guessing between $350 and $450. Oh the same auction has this as well. Doubt I'll bid on this unless the bidding is way under valued.

Stopped by the pawn shop today. They had a blue 4" k frame S&W, on the sign it said model 3917. Never having heard of a model 3917 I asked to see it. The serial was C 255xxx. Sure enough the only thing on the yoke was 3917. Left side of the barrel Smith & Wesson, right side of the barrel .38...

Or alternate uses for a Glock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH8Af9Hdb0&feature=channel In the world of man vs vegetable, the one with the gun wins.

So I stop by a local gun shop and ask the guy for some .22 snap caps. He points me down the aisle and says they're those blue things. The on box is A-Zoom rimfire training rounds, down at the bottom it says Pachmayr. They are indeed blue. So after drooling on the glass for a bit I purchase...

Since the thread attacking these guys was locked and pinned, I just thought I'd give them a chance to respond. As far as I'm concerned I think the controversy between the two organizations has more to do with politics than game management.

At what point does a 1911 stop cycling with light loads? I had always thought about 700fps was the safe low end. On another thread a gentlemen mention 600fps. I've seen loading data for as low as 500fps, but I always thought that was for a revolver. So I was wondering if anyone had done the...

I'm off to have some fun now.

Just bought a S&W 617 at a pawn shop today. Unfortunately in Washington there's a 10 day waiting period when you buy from a pawn shop. I've been stopping by the usual suspects, looking for something in the K-22 family, for the last year. The prices I was seeing topped off at $999.99 for a brand...

The Great French Duel I Second Gambetta in a Terrific Duel Mark Twain http://futureboy.us/twain/tramp/tramp08.html One of my favorite Twain short stories.

There are often threads which mention modern handguns. They give various dates, post WWII, post 1980 etc. imho the big line is the introduction of smokeless powder and handguns developed to handle the extra pressure. That would put the line in the 1890's. There are a lot of other options, from...

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01/trijicon_will_end_bible_inscriptions_on_military_r.php?ref=fpb I know this is a touchy subject for some. In America the bottom line is the bottom line and pretty much everything else is secondary. If you want to effect how a gun maker...

Serial # 472xx I'm looking at this one which is just South of $600 at 90%

I'm posting this here cause I didn;t get much response in Art of the Rifle and the auction is tonight. S/N 223xx The ad says circa 1869, which of course is not quite accurate. The gun is in below average condition for its age with a home made stock repair and some guy named Sam scratching...

S/N 223xx The ad says circa 1869, which of course is not quite accurate. The gun is in below average condition for its age with a home made stock repair and some guy named Sam scratching his name in the action. It is functional. I'm told there is lots f interest in this gun. Perhaps I'm...
