I do this occasionally, just to keep in touch. I remember lots of chat about "incorporating" the various amendments in the Bill of Rights and that the 2nd amendment has not been incorporated. However reading Emphasis added I think, based on my English comprehension, that there is no need to...

I sent the 8 3/8" Model 29-5 to Michael Gouse who engraved it as shown. I just want to show off since I feel like a kid with a new toy. The gun was pretty much pristine with a pair of Pachmayr rubber grips. I've put in an order for Eagle Heritage Rosewood "Coke Bottle" stocks to finish her...

Hi, Colt Blackpowder Signature Series 3rd Model Dragoon Does anybody know the skinny on these? This gun is unturned, in a gray Colt box with the signature series logo. The manual is black and purports to be from "Colt's Manufacturing Company." This model has the silver plated backstrap with...

I bought a Winchester 73 rifle. 24 in bbl, full magazine, forend cap, in 32 cal. or 32/20 for a more common designation. SN is 242K and gun is complete - looks like it will shoot if I get some BP lead ammo. The finish is all brown but not many dings or rust, original wood. Any info will be...

I used to hit the refresh button and the posts would rearrange. Now I start going thru the new posts, after a time the next page won't load and it says "search results - 0 - try another search term" or words to that effect. I have to go up and hit the new posts button again but I can never get...

The scum has been caught red handed and offered this mealy mouthed "apology." Needs to apologize to Pres. Bush, who he has so often hoped to impugn. "Mistake in judgment" he calls it. I call him a partisan SOB like he always has been. The only thing he's sorry about is getting caught the...

I feel like a bonehead. Ok, that's out of the way. I have a Smith Mod 27, like new appears to have very little use. With the cylinder closed and revolver uncocked the crane sticks out forward about 2 or 3 thousands from flush on its forward surface. I appears like it does not have any play...

I was sitting watching a WWII movie (again!) and my mind wandered off on how the various nations ended up standardizing on their chosen caliber. When the smokeless powder rifle cartridges were perfected, why did the US choose caliber 30 while the Germans chose 32 caliber (8mm)?

What would be the date of manufacture of a S&W Model 27 serial no. N4359XX? Thank you and happy holidays! George:D

What is a Model 27 Nickel 8 3/8, like new, p&r, with the checkered top strap and bbl rib in the wooden box worth? Beautiful gun unlike what you see nowadays. :o

From Another Thread: Tamara, as a fellow gunnut, your statement above is intriguing. Now, I'll admit I have been less than overwhelmed by the HK offerings I've seen up to now, but I'd like another chance to understand the allure of the HKP7. My examination of a couple of these back in the...

Ah, the URBAN LEGENDS of GUNDOM... I just participated in a thread that discussed the differences between the two well-known NATO rifle cartridges in their military vs. civilian guises. In my opinion, there ain't a dime's worth of difference between them, but you pay your money and you take...

Look at the Remington Model 8 and 81 autoloading rifle. Is that the origin of Mikhail Kalashnikov's clickety clack safety idea? :confused:

Just saw the widescreen DVD version and it's a great film. What was the gun Christopher Walken had? It looked like a greasegun with a 18 shot 12 gauge cylinder. They called it a grenade launcher good to 400 meters in typical Hollywood fashion. Is there such a gun? If so, where can I get...

I never saw a copy of this, so I looked it up. http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/73cb71d18dc4372741256739003e6372/d528a73b322398b5c12563cd002d6716?OpenDocument

I just got thru reading a book called CZ75 Family: the ultimate combat handgun. Why would the author make this claim? I don't have a CZ handgun (yet) ;)

Why do they caution against dryfiring a Walther P38/P1?

At the gunshow I looked at a lot of military surplus stuff that's been coming in, including M48 Mausers looking like they were unissued with all accessories for $169. I would think one would make a heck of a project rifle as the action alone would be adequate to modify in any reasonable caliber...

I've read quite a number of threads in the last week of so about "Such and Such Brand Gun goes Kaboom! :eek: Without exception, when I've read the thread there is reloaded ammunition involved. I cannot recall one time when the ammo was factory. So my peeve is, why do we tar and feather a...

I was at a gun show yesterday (GA Farmers Market). Don't bother, it wasn't any good. One of the few interesting things was looking at the Uberti SAA clone. It was about $399 while the genuine Colt was about $1400. For a shooter, would the Uberti be a good choice? Please, only tell about the...
