So I see they are pushing in Washington to condemn Turkey for a pretty large killing of Armenians back around WW1. Certainly a tragedy. Why now though? Everyone involved is long dead. The timing seems strange to me, as it will sour relations with Turkey and cause us a lot of logistical problems...

Have been putting back some boxes of the Winchester Ranger and Federal Classic 9MM 115 +P+ police loads for whatever. Had been paying 18$ for 50 but it is now up to 23$. Still, not bad for a "special" type load like that. Anyway I read the fine print on the Winchester box last night. It says...

In the past and lately I have questioned my ownership of these newfangled wack and clatter brass spittin' automatic pistols and wondered if I should trade them all off and just add revolvers to my collection in place. Have some wheel guns and I suspect they will fill the bill for all my needs...

Just came from the newsstand with latest "rare" issue of G&A Surplus Firearms in hand. They don't issue these that often anymore. A must for folks that love old iron and cool mil. stuff. Nowadays it runs about 7.99 unless you can steal a copy or borrow it, but despite the fact that I don't look...

Local news story today. Kid found a live round of handgun ammo(.22? 38?) in an old shed or toolbox or something. The kids told several versions. One little kid decided to take a hammer to it. Wham and the case flew and stuck in his hand causing a laceration. They were careful to note his injury...

I was flipping thru the channels just now. Landed on Spike. Some movie. Saw a man and a woman walking into a room full of guns. The man noted they were all ww2 guns. Noticed the AK hanging on the wall too. Then he walks over and picks up a typical import type Mosin Nagant like the ones current...

I was buying something else from an ebay guy, but he had a nice looking tan WW2 era 45 holster for sale at a good price. Maker is Warren Leather Goods Co. Marked US front and back, but undated. I assume they are a known maker and since it is tan, not dyed black, apparently in original condition...

Was at a local sporting goods superstore today. Hint, named after a male duck and a tall hill. They had a used Winchester 9422 in the case with the Win. box. Well it looked about mint to me. Checkered stock, and I was looking at the receiver, either real dark CC or just streaking on the blue...

I see that Smith is gonna introduce a Model 40 without the side frame key safety, but with the old centennial type grip safety, instead. So that seems to me like a step backwards, one nuisance for another. How about just a DAO pocket gun without either one? :(

Just reading thru a magazine article on an expensive custom .45 auto. Got to the shooting part. Writer complained the weather was horrible and cold outside, and he said this also degraded his ability to control the trigger. Probably had a blizzard and 40 mph. winds too. So instead of seeing what...

Just got a Parker Hale artillery carbine that looks unfired for 275$. The blue and case are 100%, the brass has a little patina, and the stock is nice. However there are a few tiny handling marks on it. Not suprised it has been banging around for several months at gunshows. And there is one...

I just put some CTC grips on a model 60. Tweeked the red dot to appear at the top of the front sight where the large lead JHPs I use seem to group. Set up for about 15 yards or so. OK for indoor use I guess. (nightstand gun). These come with a 3 year warranty. SO I want to know if anyone has...

OK I got a custom made, or at least semi custom, nice Hawken pistol for cheap. For alot less than even a parts set. But someone must have not known enough to clean the bore correctly. Found out this 50 cal is kinda crusty inside, but beaut. outside. I want to have the bore refreshed or rebored...

I was casually listening to Paul Harvey news on the radio today. He had a story about a new tiny revolver called a "Colt Python"(YES!) that was only 2 and a half inches long, cost 5000$(YES!) and was a concern because this tiny Colt could be snuck onto an airplane, and was a deadly powerful...

Got a very crisp looking perfect bore 7.65 Mauser HSc with the X mark on the web, and the normal German inspection marks. Looks almost mint or such. Anyone hear about any of these being imported from Russia? I bought it based on price, perfect bore, and condition. Cannot tell if it is refinished...

My Private Messages list at the top right of the screen says- unread 65533, Total 26. I am not that popular. What is up with that? It used to show the proper numbers, anyway. Thanks. :confused:

I have been hearing something about a movie for TV premier coming out that supposedly is based on a fiction about the assassination of a setting real president. I heard it would be shown in Canada, first. I suppose this will be like a wet dream for the froot loop left wing fringe, but I expect...

Someone asked me about selling their Beretta 40 cal pistol today, what would be a fair value. It is a 96 with the DAO trigger, stainless, and has OSP markings on it. One of the ones when they dumped Berettas and went to Sigs. I really don't follow the value on these things and don't have a...

I have a W.W. Marston pepperbox revolver that I got real cheap. That is because, I found, there are a few internals in the action missing. I need a diagram or photo of the innards. My greatest dream is someone knowing where to get some guts, or diagrams traced for reproduction. Otherwise I will...

Just read that SF has a new plan that they are implementing that sounds like universal healthcare for any resident. Does not matter if you are employed, illegal, whatever, you will get free healthcare in their 200 million(for now) dollar plan just by being a "resident". So now what, stand back...
