Read this this morning: http://weaponsman.com/?p=15623 Basically Remington and a bunch of its subsidiary companies are pulling up stakes and moving to the facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Unfortunately, that means 100% layoffs at several of the companies (employees can reapply). Am I...

Please note - this thread is a continuation of the original "Where is Everything ..." thread started during the period when components, ammo, and other related items were scarce, expensive, and often unobtainable at any price. Based on a suggestion by johnwilliamson062, and due to the original...

Good lord it is frightening how little about guns and history R. Lee ermy and his writers know. The rifle episode is tragically bad...

It looks a lot like an old handgun, but appearances can be very deceiving! http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/01/01/remington-announces-r-51-pistol/ While the action is based on the Pedersen system, not much else is the same. It's got a positive-action grip safety, it's in 9mm +P, and...

Went to pick up food for Mason this morning. Unfortunately, it's collocated with one of the local gun shops (owner has varied interests, I guess). While waiting for my order, I came across two revolvers in the case, a circa 1950s Colt Police Positive Special in .38 Special, and a circa 1972...

Brent left us yesterday.I know a number of you had varying discussions with him over the years. It's a truism that threads that are made "sticky" at the top of a forum become almost invisible, so this link will give you more information. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535447...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/frankminiter/2013/10/20/is-the-obama-administration-the-cause-of-gun-ammunition-shortages/ It looks at the situation in depth, ranging from claims that DHS is buying up all the free ammo to keep it out of our hands to talking to the various ammo manufacturers about...

Friend and I went to shoot a couple of rounds of wobble trap yesterday at Bull Run in Virginia. Hotter than snot, and busy, but otherwise, a decent day. I took my Stevens 20 gauge that I bought from Sluggo the other year. Really like that little gun. Except yesterday, I couldn't remember how...

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/07/10/gun-geo-marker-app-tries-to-locate-homes-businesses-gun-owners/?test=latestnews Pretty clear from the interview with the app developer that he's a screaming anti. This is just insane. It's currently installing on my phone so that I can get an idea for...

This is VERY interesting. Guy (native Pole) owns a Maroszek rifle, which is EXTREMELY rare. He advertised it for sale, and Poland stepped in and asked the US Government to seize it as a national cultural treasure. This one could get really interesting...

Stumbled across this a bit ago. It's sort of an "Emily Miller of the Washington Times goes looking for a gun" type article. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/15/what-we-learned-when-we-sent-a-female-reporter-shopping-for-a-home-defense-handgun/ I just find it to be very interesting that (as...

Let's ratchet it up with a breathless story about a printable bullet! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/23/3d-printed-bullets_n_3322370.html?ref=topbar At least some of the comments try to explain why this is such a ludicrous fear. I've not come to expect much except BS from the...

Hey guys, hoping some of you who might know more about single shot falling blocks haven't seen this thread and will weigh in... http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=523101 I'm completely stumped. I know I have seen this, or a VERY similar, action before, but I'll be damned if I...

Was just on the Charter Arms site and they're showing that they're going to bringing out a "classic" Charter Arms Bulldog .44. Price, model, and release date are TBD, but it's apparently going to be the original configuration, with the unshrouded barrel and exposed ejector rod. I may actually...

With the latest run on firearms, magazines, ammunition, reloading supplies, and other shooting accoutrements, there has been a corresponding rise in the number of "WHERE IS EVERYTHING?" threads. This thread will hopefully do two things: 1. It will give everyone a place to discuss the low...

Woot Sport has a sale on the Leupold Ventana spotting scope today for $199. That is significantly better than the price I've seen anywhere else. http://sport.woot.com/ Farther down the page there are also sales on refurbished Gamo air rifles.

Went to the gunshop today to pick up my latest Colt. See the revolver forum for more on that... Anyway, while I'm waiting for the background check, I spy a line of rifles on the wall... In order... MAS-49 for $599. SVT-40 for $1,750 :eek: (I remember in the early 1990s when they were...

Picked up my circa 1934 Colt Police Positive in .32 Colt Police (.32 S&W Long) this afternoon. I'd not see it, only a picture and a description by the gunstore owner. I'm very happy with it overall. The bluing is thin in a few places but overall very strong for a 75 year old gun. There are...

A friend of mine spotted a very nice circa 1935 Colt Police Positive with black rubber grips. I'm very interested in it, but I'm not exactly sure what cartridge it's chambered for. The tag says ".32 Police." I know Colt called the .32 S&W Long the .32 New Police, but I've never heard of a...

Anyone know when the 27-S was produced? I need to know if the one I'm looking at is C&R eligible...
