1911 date. Nothing special as to rarity. NRA 90%, +/-. All matching numbers. Last three digits of the serial number are on holster and the two magazines. Lacks the little tool. Horseback guesstimates as to likely value?

I gotta say that the guy's quick! https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/cLXJ5hUeFYk It's a different deal when you're miles from anywhere and don't have running water in quantity or a garbage service. :)

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, but this one is real and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list: If somebody comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with...

Visited a buddy who'd recently bought one. Shot it some; watched him shoot. Mostly, steel at 100 and 200 yards. Forward mounted Leupold scope. That is a seriously good recoil pad. The kick is maybe like my seven-pound .243 with 85-grain bullets: No problem! The only real negative I see...

A while back, a Nanolube thread had a lot of postings, with commentary from the boss of the company. He sent me a small vial of it for a test. Okay. I don't claim this is scientific or necessarily a Real Deal. It's subjective; based on feel of the manipulation of a pistol. I dug out a 1911...

Anybody here work for a gun manufacturer? Browsing through these threads about home defense and multi-use rifles, I got to thinking. That's always dangerous. So: How practical, and how costly would it be to re-create the old M-1 Carbine as, say, a .357 Maggie? Rimless, of course. The...
