    M-14 C&Rs

    Anyone have an M-14 C&R? Where did you get it and how much? I like the Garande but the M-14 is more my style. Thanks for the help.

    Happy Independence Day

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. Be sure to stay safe. I'm sure many people will be having parties. Just a reminder that guns and booze can be a dangerous combination. So, if you're wanting to show-off your BBQ gun (post pics!) that's great but do not consume too much (or better yet, any)...

    Natural Disaster/Emergency/Survival Kits

    Every so often, I think about putting together a "survival" kit, in the slight chance or natural disaster or some other bad situation. I think something like Rubbermaid Action Packer or large duffel bag. You know with stuff like bottled water, first-aid kit, a multi-tool, daily medicine, some...

    Hey guys, Let's see some before & after pics of your guns. The before pics will be the way it looked when you got it. The after pics can be how it looks after you've cleaned, accessorized, restored, engraved or any other modifications you've done from the stock version or the way it looked...

    Masterpiece Arms .45

    I know, I know.... It's a closed bolt semi-only MAC lookalike. And that it's nothing more than a bullet hose made of welded cheap steel. Anyway, they still look like they could be a FUN and inexpensive range toy. I just want to know if they are any good. Anyone own or use one? Thoughts? Thank You.

    9mm SA MilSpec 1911

    I have decided to get a SA MilSpec 1911. However, I would prefer a 9mm version of it. My question is are these as good as the 45acp versions? And are they more rare and expensive? Anyone have a link to a site with new ones in stock? Thanks.

    What Condition from J&G Did You Buy?

    I am thinking about buying a used S&W stainless steel revolver from J&G Gun Sales. I have seen several people on here with some that they polished with chrome polish and replaced the grips. The results were quite nice looking when done. I was wondering which condition of gun you ordered...

    M. Ayoob or Clint Smith?

    I was curious, if anyone has trained with either Massad Ayoob or Clint Smith? If so, was it worth it? Describe their teaching style. If both, who did you think was better (in terms of the course). If NOT, who do you THINK you'd prefer? Why?

    Favorite Gun Writer

    It may be an archaic form of entertainment but I like to read. I enjoy reading gun magazines, even though the reviews are a "little biased" and TFL had usually beat them to the scoop on new guns. I prefer articles about tactics, historic guns and "folksy" remember-when type articles. My...

    Ruger 22/45 Grips

    I am looking for suggestions for aftermarket grips for my Ruger 22/45. Currently, I have a Hogue Handall Jr. on there and it's okay. However, I was wondering what else is available. (The regular Hogue Handall doesn't fit as well because of the contour for Glocks.) Anybody use a Pachmayr or...

    Blacken-Out Rear Sights

    I was wondering if anyone else prefers to have a white/color dot front sight but solid black rear sights? I blacked out the rear sight on my CW9 because I didn't like the dot the "i" set-up and found I shot much better. I found it quicker to get on target from the draw, too. A buddy's 1911 had...

    Revolvers from JG

    I see alot of trade-in S&W revolvers especially 64's in stainless for around $200-$250. They are listed in Good to Very Good condition. Usually the are bobbed hammer and DAO. My questions are: Have you bought one? What was the listed condition? How was the trigger (smooth, heavy, good, light...

    Anyone else NOT care about Colt Revolvers?

    Colt made great guns. However, I have fired pythons and detectives and while being nice, I just don't see what all the hype is over. Aesthetically they appeal even less to me. I don't like the vent ribbed barrels on the python or the unsupported ejectors on the various models. Again, I am in NO...
