Well, I went to my local dealer to let him know that I would not be ordering a Seecamp (just had a large car repair bill). However while I was there an LEO couple were returning a MAK-90 they had on layaway with him. It's a pre-ban with two 30-round magazines and a folding stock. Would...

My local dealer has reached a deal with Larry Seecamp to receive a small quantity of LWS-32 pistols (the .380 has not yet been approved for sale in this state) on a semi-regular basis. I handled one tonight and it seemed nice, if small. The $64 question, is this pistol worth it? What do you...

After reading a post from someone about WinClean ammo, I decided to try some. It actually shoots pretty well, at least in 9mm and .45ACP in my guns. The inside of the casing remains very clean after firing and there is MUCH less left inside the barrel than with most other brands of ammo...

a used Ruger Mini-14 Ranch rifle. Wooden stock (which needs some cleaning up but is otherwise good-looking), leather sling, and a very nice Weaver 3X9 variable scope on it. Rifle looks in great shape, but do I really need this? Can it do anything my Colt .223s can't do?

My dealer just got a used but very good shape PT-92. Pachmayr's and 2 hi-cap magazines for $400. Any comments about the durability and reliability of this pistol? Are the mags interchangeable with Beretta mags? Thanks in advance.

Just got back from seeing "Windtalkers" with Nicholas Cage. Great WWII flick about the Navojo code-talkers. I think there was one small error in the basic premise of the movie, but I'll let others decide on their own. I could be wrong tho. The guns were the standard WWII guns, M1 Garands...

This is my first attempt at posting images. Hope it works. These are two of my three Model 66's.

I recently purchased one of the above-named kits with the 18 1/2 # recoil spring to put in my 1977 Colt MkIV Series 70. This pistol has been lightly modified (High profile sights, ambi safety, but no appreciable interior work). The recoil spring may very well have been the original spring that...

Does anyone here subscribe to the "Weapons & Tactics" newsletter put out by the Personal Defense Group? Any recommendations pro or con? Thanks.

My local dealer has obtained samples of both of these shotguns in order to evaluate and have them available for his customers. I have wanted a semi-auto SG for a while and am looking at both of them closely. Now, I am not an experienced shotgunner so I tend to pay close attention to this forum...

I am wondering how many people have a first aid kit for the range? A quick search shows several threads on first aid kits, go bags, and general preparedness, but nothing on range-specific kits. Do you have one made up for the range, or do you depend upon your car/truck kit? And for those who...

My dealer just gave me a free 18.5" rifle-sighted barrel for my 870. (I'm a VERY good customer!). It is marked for 2 3/4" shells. The barrel I got with my SG was marked for 2 3/4" and 3" shells if it is a magnum receiver (it is). Question: Can I use the new barrel with 3" shells or just 2...

I have a Colt Match Target with the A2 (?) sight. I know that the larger aperture is supposed to be used for shorter distances (0-200 yds) and the smaller for longer. However I have always disliked just how large the bigger aperture was - I never felt like I got a good sight picture. Last...

A friend sent this to me, was way too funny NOT to share with my TFL bretheren. THIS SHAGGY-DOG STORY SENT BY A READER IS ALMOST WORTHY OF THE ONION: After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama makes his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you...

IF there was any doubt in anyone's mind about the purpose or the tactics of the Violence Prevention Center, or any doubt about AG John Ashcroft, then this should help convince you. http://www.jointogether.org/gv/news/alerts/reader/0%2C2061%2C547990%2C00.html

Natchez Shooters Supply has this on sale for $2.50/10 round box. Does anyone have any experience with this ammo? Is it any good? I can remember some comments a LONG time ago (probably company publicity) that this was useful for rapid reloads in a situation where you needed to change ammo type...

I have a question about the valuation of older firearms, particularly as it applies to old semi-automatic pistols. I just acquired a Mauser HSC as described in "Need Help With Two Old Pistols". The offer I made was a bit below book value for two reasons. First, the pistol's finish was worn...

A friend asked me to help him decide what to do with two old pistols someone gave him to get rid of. 1. Mauser HSc, 7.65mm. Ser no 783,xxx, has a Nazi Eagle and Swatstika over an "M" on the front of the grip, under the trigger guard. Wooden grips, well worn, may be original? No magazine...

I am curious, do all Thompson SMG (semi- and full-auto) use the same magazines? I am in the process of buying a few to have a reason to eventually have to buy a full-auto version. But I came across a few ads that offered magazines for different Thompson models. Now I am wondering if different...

CMP just offered the remainder of the ammo produced for this year's national matches for sale. It was made for the matches by Federal. Some have said that is was basically their white box ammo. I was going to buy some but the price ($450/1000 rounds - no shipping) and some comments in the...
