    Putting slim grips and maybe SRT on a spur hammer P220

    Hey guys. Last year I came into two W. German P220's, one with the rounded hammer and one with the spur hammer('92). I converted the rounded hammer to slim grips, pretty straight forward as most of you probably know. Ended up selling that one and keeping the spur hammer. So now I have the spur...

    New-to-me Sig P220's

    Went by a LGS and they had these bad boys. Paid $1040 OTD. Just picked them up an hour ago so I haven't shot them yet. Probably won't get to until my reloading gear shows up so I can load up some .45, so probably like a month. Oh yeah, W. German goodness!

    my new-to-me M1 carbine

    hey guys. picked up an inland M1 carbine on sale at the big 5 yesterday and I'm trying to find out more about it. the serial number is 831123 the barrel is marked "inland div general motors 8-43" I'm guessing 8-43 means august 1943. the barrel band is marked "AMCO" in front of the sling swivel...

    thinking of putting together a custom .30-06

    in my opinion no arsenal in the US is complete without a good bolt-gun in the good 'ol red-white-and-blue .30-06. Problem is I can't really seem to find anything to my liking. Then I remembered that savages are easy to do barrel swaps on and you can't swing a dead cat at a gunshow without...

    savage MKII TR bolt installation

    ok I'll admit I screwed up. "I don't need to read the manual before I start monkeying with my new rifle" that was dumb. I just got a new MKII TR today and so the first thing I do is try and put the bolt in without reading the manual first. now the bolt is in the gun, cycles, but the trigger...

    been trying to find one of these for a year

    it's payday so I went down to the LGS to see what they had and in the case was a brand new firestorm .22 pistol. 6 or 8 months ago I asked them to order me one and after calls to 3 distributors they couldn't nail one down so when I saw this baby I had to jump on it despite ordering a savage MKII...

    going to order a savage .22lr...

    so I was pretty much set on ordering a savage MKII TR( or maybe a TRR) but while I was double checking I discovered the 64 TRR. I'm still leaning towards the MKII because I would expect it to be more accurate but the 64 is about $150 cheaper I think. I was also planning on building a clone of...

    range report on the new tac-sol TSG-22 glock conversion

    Went out today to shoot my new .22 kit. As you'll see in the video I had problems with cycling with the low-end ammo and as I progressed into the better stuff it worked better but then I developed feeding issues, possibly a result of the kit being new with tight tolerances and it beginning to...

    springfield armory operator 2 month report

    back in november I purchased a SA operator. I've put about 530 round through this gun and it's cycled just fine however the pistol will just barely eject the last case and sometimes it will get stuck in the port or caught in the feed lips of the mag. I'm no pistol smith but I believe it's due to...

    diamondback DB9

    was checking out gunblast.com and the pics from the shot show media day and the very first pic is of the new diamondback DB9. very cool but unfortunately I've read way to many bad reports about the db380 to buy one. I really hope they get the bugs worked out because I would love to have one of...

    just scored a beretta 1201fp

    went down to my LGS and there was a guy trying to sell a beretta 1201fp but the store owner would only give him $200. I quietly strolled out of the store right ahead of the guy and gave him my number in the parking lot. I was hoping to get a chance to look up the gun but the guy called me within...

    I don't think I showed ya'll this one yet.

    had this baby about a month now. I was looking at a magnum research 1911 but I broke down and bought this Springfield Armory operator, which is as close to my dream 1911 as I can buy off the shelf. the first thing I wanted to change was the grips. I really didn't like the part that wrapped...

    why do 1911s call to me?

    Anyone else ever ask this? I'm also a glock guy and if we're honest for a second a glock(or whatever other combat tupperwear floats your boat) just makes more sense. it's less expensive, holds more rounds, disassembly is easier, replacement parts are drop-in, and there's no manual safety. simple...

    looking for a bolt-action rimfire to mount a scope on

    hey guys I'm in the market for a new .22 rifle to mount a scope on for punching paper and to get some trigger time on a scoped rifle. I'd like a bolt action and after cruising this board and some others I'm leaning towards a savage MKII FV I'm not looking for the end-all-be-all of .22s just a...

    maybe I just have a sick mind...

    I was reading an article today about the FNH PS90 and the author kept mentioning how he thought in and it's 5.7 cartridge might be nice for varmints. in the article they had a picture of a .22 mag round, .22 hornet, 5.7, .221, .223, and a .30 carbine all lined up. now I haven't looked up actual...

    H&R 622 part

    picked up a little 622 a bit ago for $140 and it's a decent shooter. well today at the range it broke. quick inspection and the rod that goes through the main hammer spring has a plastic end that rides against the hammer and it's busted. so I searched brownells and numric and I can't find one...

    ruger p345 parts

    I have a ruger p345 with a bad sear and I'm trying to find a place that sells them. I called ruger and they won't sell me the sear and I would prefer to just buy the part and do it myself rather than shipping the gun if I can. I also tried numric gun parts and they don't have one either. I...

    heavy .45 colt loads through a rossi

    I was at the local gun shop the other day and they have a decent selection of leverguns and I checked out a sweet little 16" .45 colt. I see doubletap and buffalo bore say their +P .45colt loads are same in modern 1892's and was wondering if that included the rossi. if they made a 16" .454 I'd...
