    Are we experiencing a "Gun Bubble"?

    Firearms companies are raking in the profits. They couldn't be doing better. New guns, used guns, it doesn't matter. People are paying over a thousand dollars for beat up old Pythons. Colt SAA 1st Generations are now several thousand dollars even in fair condition. Machineguns are now for...

    The Bayonet Lug - still desireable?

    AR's have them, AK's have them, even the new Colt .308 has one. Forget about the fact that some idiot legislators made it an evil feature in a ban that is now expired. Who still really wants bayonet lugs as an integral part of their rifles? I'm pretty "old school", but I'm not getting why any...

    What does "450 short chamber" mean?

    I happened to acquire an STI custom 2011 a couple of years ago. It has a schuemann ported barrel on it stamped "450". I looked at the schuemann website and found that they sell several "short chamber" barrels, one specifically being 450. Now, I've fired cheap .45 ammo out of this gun and it...

    Henry Bolt Action .22 (kid's rifle)

    I was looking at a Henry Bolt Action .22, kid's size, this weekend. It was stainless with a synthetic stock. It looked nice and robust, but there were some things I really didn't like about it: 1. bolt action was rough - perhaps the grittiest bolt I've ever felt. 2. You could see lots of...

    Is the CEO of Smith & Wesson Holding Company of British origin? P. James Debney - apparently educated in the UK. Does anyone know if S&W is still supporting anti-gun policies?

    Braverman Pen Guns - what's up with these????

    I've noticed that Braverman / Stinger pen guns (non-nfa type) have gone from selling at around the $500 price level to about $1,000 in less than a year. Can anyone tell me why these things are getting relatively scarce and extremely expensive?

    Borchardt C-93 - what is a fair price?

    I don't have one. But, I would like to acquire one. The problem is, I due to so few sales, it's hard for me to determine a "fair" price on one in decent condition. Any guesses about what they are or should sell for? Price range?

    AC556 / Mini-14 bolt assembly question...

    I'm assuming that the bolts on the AC556 and Mini-14 are identical - but can anyone confirm this for me? Also, what's involved with fitting a new "used" bolt to an AC556? Should they drop in, or is fitting an issue? I don't need a new one, but would like to acquire a spare. But, before I...

    New Gunbroker format is driving me nuts!!!

    Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with the new Gunbroker format? I find it much harder to do searches. It's also difficult to simply go back and forth between your search index and a specific auction. I can't stand it. If there was a way to set my settings I might be ok with...

    Price Check needed on AR parts....

    I'm just trying to get a rough idea of what certain AR parts would sell for. I'm not sure I want to sell them yet, just trying to see if its even worth it at this point. 1. Colt (CMP) Nato 5.56 barrel w/ gas tube. Chrome lined. I believe its a 1:9 twist, but I'd have to check it again, no...

    Gun Stores - what makes some very profitable?

    I'm looking for opinions on what makes some gun stores quite profitable and others marginally so. The really profitable gun stores actually seem to have less quality customer service than the smaller less profitable stores. From my observations, the most profitable gun stores will have the...

    Trying to get educated on Antique Guns

    I'm try to educate myself on certain antique guns. For now, I've limited my area of interest to Colt SAA's - which is more than enough for me to digest over a period of time. Some general questions: 1. Is there a good internet forum (that gets any amount of traffic) dedicated specifically...

    Colt SAA One-Piece Grip?

    I'm unfamiliar with once piece grips on the Colt SAA. Can they be removed without damaging/destroying them? What is the proper way to remove the one piece grips?

    Blue finish & Paste Wax....

    So, I did a little internet research and the consensus seems to be that Renaissance is the best paste wax, and overall the best protection for the finish on blued firearms. But, I've got a tin of Johnson's paste wax that is still quite fresh. Is there any real difference between Renaissance...

    Are you a gun snob?

    What do you think it means to be a gun snob? I'll admit - I'm a gun snob, or at least I might be. I like certain brands of guns over others. I like, enjoy, prefer or what have you excellent workmanship and craftsmanship - especially when it comes to firearms. I don't particularly care for...

    What is the worst gun you actually purchased?

    I want to know about bad, or undesirable guns, people have actually made a conscious decision to purchase at one point in their lives, but found that gun to be a real "dog". This does not include guns that you inherited, were gifted to you, or that you found on a street corner. Nor does it...
