I was at the gun show and a stripped lower followed me home . . . but now I need to build something on it. I'm reasonably handy and have done some moderate gunsmithing from time to time, but I don't have any specialized AR-15 tools. I've already got a standard Bushmaster rifle, stock except for...

Has anyone here gotten one of those newly-imported Nepalese Martini-Henry rifles in .577-.450? I've had a hankering for one ever since I saw the movie Zulu in my youth, but never saw one in decent condition for less than four figures. The articles in Rifle and American Rifleman magazines make...

Last night (8/21/02) while flipping channels I caught most of the program mentioned in the title, part of the "Modern Marvels" series on the History Channel. Kudos to The History Channel for producing this type of program, but it seemed riddled with mistakes . . . I'm wondering if anybody else...

Undersecretary John Magaw, the chief of the new Transportation Security Administration, has been very busy lately. You may remember he was director of the BATF under Clinton & Reno. He still has a place in the current Bush administration, where he announced at a Transportation committee hearing...

A story at World Net Daily yesterday (06/25/02) said the State Department has prohibited U.S. travelers from taking firearms or ammunition to Zimbabwe. The story said returning travelers with firearms would probably get into trouble if they had a Zimbabwe stamp in their passport. In theory...

From these forums (and Oleg Volk's well-written review) I gather that early P-32's were sometimes troublesome with a limited service life, but that new ones - with modifications to the slide and frame - seem to work better. So . . . how is the reliability of YOUR P-32, and if I don't have an...

Zero Trolerance: Evidence Not Needed There have been a lot of "zero tolerance" threads, but this one is just, well, judge for yourself: http://www.nationalpost.com/home/story.html?f=/stories/20020328/477791.html Synopsys: Cops go through school with drug dog. Dog supposedly finds jacket that...

At the risk of provoking the moderator's ire with yet another DELL thread, I'd like to ask: Has DELL posted PC30.06 signs at its locations in Texas? For those in other states, PC30.06 is the part of the Texas penal code that allows businesses to prohibit Concealed Handgun License holders from...

I've been casually shopping for another .308 rifle that's lighter and handier than my current M1A, which is quite a handful with heavy barrel, 'scope, oversize match stock, etc. I was considering an FAL, but there are a lot of "Frankenrifle" clones out there, and the best ones (DSA?) are pricey...

Hmmm . . .don't know whether this story belongs in General or The Hunt.. CAMP RHINO ... a red pen marks December 4 as the night of the "Camel Attack" . . . Marines poured a torrent of gunfire at it . . . " For the rest of the story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,40676,00.html[

So...who has the best prices on Surefire flashlights?

Well, I replaced my troublesome Kahr P9 with a G26 (email me or search these forums if you want details on my P9 problems) and took it out to the range today. Already owning a G17, I was not disappointed by the G26. At 7 yards the first round was just a bit low, but the next 10 plunked into...

OK - I gave up on my "reliablility challenged" Kahr P9 and bought a G26, which, based on my previous experience with Glocks, ought to actually work. (With the P9, I was at the point of wondering, each time I pulled the trigger, "What's going to go wrong next?) So . . . now I'm looking for...

I'm looking for a light, compact pistol for CCW, and have just about given up on my "reliability challenged" Kahr P9, which is back at the factory yet again. :( (Long story. Search my prior posts.) So now I'm looking for something to replace it. I usually carry a BHP, but have to be careful...

As I understand the law, an individual - not an FFL holder - is allowed to ship a handgun to the manufacturer or other FFL holder for the purposes of repair . . . if the pistol is to be REPLACED, not repaired, does the replacement have to go through an FFL, or can the manufacturer fill out some...

I just found that Beretta apparently makes a version of their 92FS called the 92 Stock, with a frame-mounted safety that allows for "cocked and locked" use, a reinforced Brigadier slide, and a front barrel bushing to enhance accuracy. Has anyone here seen one, or had some experience with one of...

Well, I've decided I'd like to hunt mountain lions somewhere here in the Lower 48. (Probably use a pistol, so Kanada's out.) So . . . can anyone recommend a good guide/outfitter who can put me onto a good cat? (I know there are some here in Texas - mostly in the west - but I understand they're...

Well, my old "Thumler's Tumbler" has finally bitten the dust after some 25 years of use, so it looks like I'll be buying one of the vibrating-bowl tumblers to replace it. Seems there are lot of makes on the market - Dillon, Midway, Lyman, even saw one labeled Frankford Arsenal (!) and I'd just...

Saw an interesting revolver - a Chicago Police Department "125 years of service" commemorative. It's in a presentation box with a star carved into the top with the dates "1855 - 1980." The revolver (a Model 66-1) seems to be unfired. I haven't found any history on this commemorative, and was...

Went to the Saxet show today. 1. Kahr's P40 is now shipping and in stock. Looks just like the P9. (Sorry, don't recall the price. The P9's were going for $419 and up. Hope these work better than mine did.) 2. New Beretta 92's are now under $400. (With low-cap mags):( 3. SIG's new P210's...
