    Your Favorite Source of Surplus Firearms (on Gunbroker or Elsewhere)

    As of June 2018, what are your favorite sources for surplus firearms (pistols or rifles)? I have acquired a number of great pistols (CZ75s and BHPs) recently from Cole's Distributing (cdisales on Gunbroker), but a devastating warehouse fire wiped out their entire inventory a few weeks ago, and...

    New Executive Order to ban the re-import of surplus rifles. Will this kill the CMP?

    The Obama Administration has issued an Executive Order to ban the sale of re-imported surplus rifles to private citizens. This could essentially kill the CMP rifle sales program, which sales M1 Garand rifles that have been re-imported from the Allied countries (Greece, Turkey, Denmark, etc.)...

    D-Day Anniversary

    I thought we should start a thread commemorating the day so many Americans and Allies joined together to uproot tyranny from the Western world. So this is firearms-related, here is a photo of my 1944 Springfield Armory M1 Garand (a service grade from the CMP). At the same time, it is so sad...

    My first 1911! Colt XSE Government

    I'm no stranger to 1911s, but I've never owned one of my own... until now! I've been looking for a stainless XSE Government locally (didn't want to buy a 1911 sight unseen) for a long time, and after 18 months of looking, finally found one! Stainless Rail Guns and blued XSEs are relatively...

    CMMG 16" M4LE WASP .22LR Dedicated AR Upper mini-review & range report

    Folks, I thought I'd share this because I haven't seen a great many reviews of the CMMG dedicated .22LR upper, just the .22LR conversion kit for 5.56mm NATO AR-15s. Anyway, I had been researching .22LR uppers for a while and finally picked this up (along with a Black Dog Machine X-Form .22LR...

    CMP Service Grade M1 Garand - Springfield or HRA?

    Decisions, decisions... I'm about to pull the trigger on a CMP Service Grade Garand, and I can't make my mind up between the Springfield Armory or Harrington & Richardson Arms rifle. I like the fact that the Springfield is a Springfield (just like the idea of seeing that on the receiver for...

    Does anyone have any experience with the Blackhawk Leather Detachable Slide Holster (on P99 or any other handgun)? see here: http://www.opticsale.com/blackhawk-l...8761-prd1.html Seems like a good price for a leather holster. I'm also considering the Blackhawk Serpa holster. For those that...

    What comes boxed with a Walther P99 AS?

    Does anyone know exactly what comes boxed with a Walther P99 AS? I am finding conflicting information, and Walther America's website has surprising little information. Does it come with 1 magazine or 2? What else is in the box?

    FN FNP-9 or Walther P99 SA?

    I'm having a tough time making up my mind between these two for my first 9mm pistol. I've ruled out the Glock 17 and Springfield XD (don't like the feel of them) and the S&W M&P (don't like the trigger at all). I love the ergonomics of the Walther . It just feels perfect in my hand, and the fit...
