...in ID'ing the exact model of a Browning Auto-5 20-ga. that I may purchase. I know that, beginning in 1958, A5s were marked with one or two digits followed by a letter code. This one is marked 'Z'...specifically 8Z8xxx on the bottom of the receiver...and the barrel is marked 'Made in...

...nonsense being spewed by Ron Sloan, police chief [I presume] in Arvada, Colorado? Saw him on a recent FoxNews video clip. He thinks that issuing CCWs in accordance with state law [being done in a small town...Wade Gately was their attorney and also shown] is "unethical and unprofessional"...

Would you buy one? :cool: I've been thinking about a self-defense cartridge in .50 caliber that would be easier to shoot than other big-caliber offerings...the .50AE, for instance. Why another .50 caliber handgun/carbine round? Because that's the limit set by the federales. If the limit was...

...handgun(s) you had one year ago but don't have now? What was it, why did you get rid of it, and how badly do you want it back? If you do, that is.;)

What should I pay for a late-70's production 12-ga. Wingmaster in 98-99% NRA-condition? Beautiful blue job and absolutely exquisite walnut furniture on this gun. Thanks in advance for your help...

...by Hogue's website in that it had very few photos of their more exotic products and navigation was a real pain. After mailing them recently to advocate production for the superfine SIG P225, I received an e-mail advising that they had added thousands of new photos to the site. Navigation is...

...who want the opportunity to empty all that stuff that you never use out of your gun closets and put some cash in your pockets. Call it a garage sale at a gun show: August 25-26 at the I-24 Expo Center, I-24E/Exit 66 just fifteen miles southeast of Nashville. A number of us TFL'ers are...

Attaboy, Dubya! Bush has ended the ludicrous and illegal program that HUD has used to "buy back" firearms from American citizens. Now if he can just get someone to find out where that thieving Cuomo spent our "missing" tax dollars, we can shut the moneypit down for good. Hey, Mario...that son...

I need your help! Will you please check out my thread "It's a string thing..." in Harley Nolden's area. I want an authentic restoration on the thumbstrap part of a WWII bringback holster. Thanks...

Wondering if someone can advise me where I can find cotton string [waxed?] like that used to stitch the WWII CZ27 holster that accompanied the war bringback of my uncle. The holster is in great shape but the stitching holding the thumb strap has rotted away. I'd like to repair it as...

1.The SIG P220ST [all stainless slide and frame] will be a little later coming to the market. Apparently the pre-production prototype failed SIGARMS self-imposed 70,000 round test and is being redesigned. No launch date has been announced. 2. A compact version of the SP2009, the sigpro SPC2009...

Well, another year has passed. We're doing just fine here. Hope your folks are well. We get to the neighborhood pretty regularly, but as you can imagine a lot has changed. I always give you a salute when I pass your old house just to let you know I haven't forgotten about you. Sure miss the...

...in 95% condition going for in your area? And how common is a nickel finish compared to blue in this model?

...but why don't you give your location if you have something for sale?!? For the average pistol sale [in the $300 range] in my state, buying in-state vs. buying from out-of-state results in an average savings of: * $30 for the transfer by your local FFL; * $10 for the TICS check; * $30 for...

...and still working on getting as many TFL'ers under one roof as we can. The next show is Pope's...June 23-24...at the I-24 Expo Center [exit 66 on I-24E, ~15 miles SE of Nashville]. How's meeting early on Saturday morning sound to y'all? The time that seems to work best is 10:00a.m. Give...

There's a Bar-Sto barrel in .40 Super on its way to me for use/testing in my P220. If you have anything in this caliber, where are you getting ammo for it other than directly from Triton? Their Hi-Vel load pushes a 135 gr. bullet at 1800 fps out of a 5" barrel. Smokin'!!!
