Back in January, I bought a Colt M1911 made in 1918 but I was still on the lookout for a Colt Series 70, so I could have something to shoot when I wanted to, whenever I wanted to. Two Colt series 70s I was going to buy got sold out from under me, and a third was in worse condition than the one...

...and some other old things. The double diamond grips are new Colt, the pistol is "US Property" stamped

I seem to have lost the lower band pin on my M1 rifle. Took it shooting yesterday, and I came home, took the rifle down, cleaned up, and had dinner. After dinner I cleaned the rifle, and the lower band pin was missing. I know it was there last time I cleaned and reassembled the rifle, so I...

I am slowly becoming convinced to buy a POF AR lower I prefer vintage rifles.M1 rifle etc. But I really appreciate the AR platform. Please tell me about POF lower, uppers, rifles in general, etc

My "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" M1911 made in 1918, with new production Colt WWI type grips. They look pretty good but I give them a 3 out of 5 stars for correct appearance- the checkering isn't quite in line with the double diamonds; must be laser cut grips. And the cut-out in the rear bottom...

Well. I don't know just what to do. Tonight is my monthly maintainance-on-the-guns night, and I am angry at myself I checked my Colt 1903 (1920). Clean. Oily patch down the barrel. Check. P.38 (1944). Clean. Oily patch down the barrel, check. 1911A1. Clean. Oily patch down the barrel, check...

I have an M1 rifle, A Springfield originally made in '44, that is from the CMP. The barrel is an SA '46, and sometime or other, the receiver was re-parkerized. When I originally got it, the receiver was quite light in color. That was in '08 Now the receiver has taken on a pleasing olive green...

A thread on another forum here made me wonder I was in a shop yesterday, and I wasn't really looking to buy but I always check out any M1 rifles and carbines they have. They had two USGI M1 carbines and five USGI M1 rifles Of the seven, only one had a clean stock. The other ones, to be...

United States Property marked M1911, made in 1918. Winchester white box 230 gr hardball. Results from 33 feet, offhand. Last 8 rounds of 50 I fired today- the first 50 I've fired with this pistol. Barrel is pitted and dark, pistol has a rattly slide to frame fit

I have an old (1918) Colt M1911 The frame to slide fit is a bit loose. That got me thinking What is involved with tightening the slide to frame fit on a 1911? What do they do to tighten that up?

Not the best Colt out there. But it's MINE :D Glad I brought my C&R along with me. Also picked up a lockbar sight for my M1 rifle

I'm taking a friend of mine to the range tomorrow to introduce her to handgun shooting. I borrowed my Pop's Mark II for the occasion; the only 22 pistol I have is a P22 and it simply won't hold a candle to the Mark II for what I want to do and to my mind it's safer. I might bring the P22 as an...

I have been awaiting approval of my membership since Saturday. How long do they take to do that over there? I've e-mailed them, no response

I finally decided, and after looking at P99s and Sig P226s, I went with the P226 I took a snap cap with me to the store and looked at a used Sig P226. Some faint wear marks. It spent a little time in a holster, It's the blued one, black grips. The trigger is beautiful in single action and still...

Specifically in MA? My online search skills are usually really good; I'm drawing a blank on this so far. Does anyone know of a current list of 'shall issue' communities in MA?

Was this were the Blue Sky rifles came from?

copy and paste: ************************* PHOENIX - Bartender Randy Shields was serving British brews and Arizona ambers as usual at Shady's bar in east Phoenix when he saw a customer walk in with a hunting knife strapped to his hip. A disturbing image flashed through his mind — "that knife...

Hows this: 9mm parabellum vs. 9x19mm I see on the same website, virtually right next to each other, a listing for 9mm "Luger" ammo, and 9x19mm ammo Now, my understanding is that 9mm "Luger" is 9x19mm So, am I looking at two people using two different ways to annotate the ammo on that...

I am interested in another 9mm parabellum pistol. I own handguns in .22, .32, .36, 9mm parabellum, and .45 ACP. I own two Walther designs and I am a fan of Walthers. While I like Walther pistols I also like to have various manufacturer's pistols as each has it's own characteritics. I have...

So. Tell me all about them. I like Walthers, and I'm interested in a P99 in 9mm parabellum. I love my other two Walther designs, my '44 P.38 and that damn little P22. I have a friend who has a full size P99 and I quite like it's feel and sights. I also am interested in the P226 but my gut says...
