I just got my SA GI A1 off lay-a-way. Haven't shot it yet, but that's OK for now- I'll remedy that in a week or so. I've owned a number of 1911's over the years- always looking for... well, that feeling I had when Uncle Sam let me carry his before he took it away and subjected us to the...

Most everybody has seen the ads where the space in grips and buttstocks are "perfect for holding 2 extra (or however many) extra rounds of ammo". Does anyone actually put anything in your grip hollow? Does anyone keep anything besides a cleaning kit or lead in your buttstock spaces? M1's and...

I had my heart set on a RRA 2-stage ($120), then while digging, I stumbled across the CMMG ($139). The CMMG has set screws for over travel and takeup. Neat, I guess, but the CMMG has brass pin bushings. OK, I can see where that might aid in the smoothness dept. But, with brass being softer...

I can't be the only one who thinks the latch on the AR charging handle ought to be on the other side... am I? Does anyone think a machinist or well equipped GS could mill both the handle and the notch in the right side of the reciever for under $200? I know, Uncle Sam taught me the same BRM as...

Anybody have actual experience with a chrome line Garand bbl? Neither of mine are set up for competition, nor will they be any time in the next few years. But I remember seeing them advertised somewhere and thought, "Why not? There isn't THAT big of an accuracy difference between AR bbl's...

Does anyone know about the finish on the NM M1A factory wood finish? I'm not in a high humidity area, but the question just won't go away. Is that wood sealed or just stained? I went ahead with my base coat of teak oil and six rubbed in coats of tung oil. The stock looks great- but did I...

I think I just made one of the better deals of the year do far. I just brought home a Remington Model 1894 16ga SXS, 30" bbls, Remington Steel bbls. There's not just a whole lot of finish left on her- no cracks or dents, but considering it was an old farmer's SG and everything works- I feel...

How many times have ya'll heard someone say something to the tune of: "If I buy this rifle, pistol, shotgun, will there be plenty of parts available for it?" Granted, things do break and wear out, but I wonder how many of those folks really deeply ponder just which parts they suspect will break...

I just ordered a Repro 1917 Enfield Kerr style sling from Numrich. Well made- looks close enough to pics of originals. I put the thing on, and it looks OK, but if I take it to a Springfield Match- I'll go back to a M-14 Sling. My question is: The rifle is a 1942 make, would anyone rib me for...

A few days ago, a friend aske me to clean up, shoot, and evaluate the rifle he's been using for his 'hog rifle'. He showed up with a 1933 Springfield 1903. Well, that gave me the bug. I already own a Rem 1903A3 and a Smith Corona 1903A3. Today at a local gunshow, I picked up what looks like...

Swung into a local g-shop yesterday and the guy had a lot of consignment stuff out on display racks. I don't know the feller who was the consignee, but I tend to think he might not be firing on all eight cylinders. I was able to trade a ruther plain and very well used Bushy XM15A2 20" pre-ban...

Happy Veterans Day. My hat's off to all of you who've stood the line for Old Glory and the dream of our forefathers. God Bless.
