I read the news today concerning Century Arms letting 41 people go due to the re-import ban on M1 Garands coming from South Korea. What a shame. A shame that people lost their jobs and a shame those Garands can't come back home...

I know these threads pop up from time to time, but I heard a couple in the last couple of days that I thought were kind of amusing. I work in a pawn shop that also sells guns (well, claiming I sell guns at this point is kind of funny itself). Anyway, one of the guys that also works there was...

Palmetto State has them for $319.99 + shipping. Just to good of a deal to pass up.

I was bidding on a S&W model 10 today that was in real good condition. It was a six day auction and ther was a "Buy It Now" price of $450 and at less than 10 minutes to go I was the high bidder at $325. I check on it a few minutes later and the auction was over. Someone used the BIN when the...

I know they are essentially the same gun other than caliber, but I have a question for those that own/have owned both - if you did get rid of one or had to for some reason which one would you keep and why. I bought a 19 last summer because I found a smokin' deal on an unfired gen 3. I recently...

Did anyone manage to pick up any of these former police carry guns? They had model 10s, 13s, 64s, and 65s starting at $269.95 to $329.95. I went to their site as soon as I got the email but they were already sold out. I am never quite quick enough.

Sometime back I decided I wanted a SA revolver and landed on a Cimarron in .45 Colt. I didn't have it long before I decided to sell a bunch of guns because the job I had became unstable (I was eventually laid off) and it was one of the many guns that was sacrificed. I still want a SA, and will...

A customer came in the store today to pick up about a dozen Anderson stripped lowers he had transfered. He paid $40 a piece plus free shipping for them but I didn't catch where it was that he got them from and I will not be back in the store until Friday to find out. Anyone have an idea? I went...

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/missouri-gun-maker-unveils-new-models-comply-safe-act-article-1.1746466 I think I like the direction that other companies are making to turn their backs on states that trample the Second Amendment and refuse to alter their guns to fit within the...

I have an opportunity to buy one of these for $300 and it comes with the box and papers. The reason I am thinking about buying it is because it was made in 1960, the year I was born. The design of the gun has alwasy intrigued me, plus it has the whole James Bond flavor to it. I just never wanted...

I stopped in at the Bass Pro Shop's fine gun room this afternoon and found a Rock Island 1911 9mm/.22 TCM setup for a paltry $1, 499.99.:eek: It also came with 10 boxes of ammo, but that still puts the gun at $1,200 since the ammo runs $30 a box around here. I don't have a thing against RIA. I...

A 9 oz. five shot .38 special. I bet that will be a snappy little bugger. I don't quite get the lexan side plate, but it is different. And, that grip is a bit funky, too. http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=897&category=Revolver&toggle=tr&breadcrumbseries=CC2

I was put on Grant Cunningham's list to have some custom work done four years ago. I was going to have some work done on a Detective Special, but I no longer have the gun (got tired of waiting and sold it) or the money to have any work done (lost my job last month). Today I received an "update"...

Of course, everyone knows about the .45 Savage Model 1907 coming in second in the military trials to John Browning's design of what we now call the model 1911. And, I'm sure everyone has seen pictures of the Savage. I know I have. Today I got to see one in person and was kind of surprised at...

I stopped by the NRA Museum today at Bass Pro (really, really nice place by the way) and had to chuckle just a little bit at their newest display. It's a display of firearms with serial number "1". At the top of the heap was a Sharps Model 1870 in 50-70 with serial number "1". I work my way down...

I noticed that Buds has the mil-spec .45acp 1911 for $329 on special. That seems like a heck of a price to me. And shipping is free. I'm broke as broke can be or I would snap one of those up in a hurry.

I realize it is more durable than I would likely need, but I'm still curious. I just sold a Cimarron Model P in .45 Colt and was thinking about replacing it with a New Vaquero in .357. The reason is I'm trying to pare down the number of calibers that I keep, plus I have an 1982 Marlin 1894c in...

I've always wanted a model 18 but never had the funds when one was available at the price I would be willing to pay. Tonight I was looking at the local Armslist listings and ran across a model 18-1 with the box and papers. Price? A mere $1, 500. I guess I'll never get to own one of these if...

I currently work in sales for a small retailer that is having massive money problems and because of this my income has dropped about 30% over the last couple of years. I'm no Spring chicken (53), so, in today's job market there are not a lot of options. One of fhe shops that I used to buy a...

I'm trying to sell a CZ RAMI in 9mm. I never shoot it, so, I thought I would just sell it. However, a guy wants to trade me a Shield 9mm with four magazines, a holster and 100 rounds of ammo. I really don't want a Shield either as it is a bit too large to pocket carry, but maybe I could sell it...
