A situation came up at one of our retail locations the other day. The store manager stated that a guy came into the store with three Glock auto sears. The guy wanted to know what we would pay for all of them. It was obvious from the guys statements that he had acquired them illegally. The...

This little piece is for sale in the gun store I work at. We have it priced at $99 as-is. It obviously needs some parts. The side plate and grips are missing as well as a couple of other things. I've checked the usual online parts houses like Numrich, but most parts show out of stock. I was...

How many of you guys print out and save information shared on the forums? I usually save the gun magazines that I subscribe to, but never really considered printing internet info for future reading until someone mentioned it somewhere.

I've always wanted a PPK. I guess every James Bond fan does. Well, I finally pulled the trigger on this really nice Interarms PPK/S in 380. I know it's not true Bond form, as his was a blued PPK chambered in 32, I really couldn't pass this up. It's in like new condition. I've read for years...

Does anyone here use the Tapatalk app to browse the forums? I have been using it for my IPhone for a couple of years now with great success until about a month ago. Now I doesn't seem to want to update and display new posts here at the Firing Line. So far this seems to be the only forum I'm...

I ran across some Corbon Hunter 357 magnum 180 grain soft points. I was wondering if these would be too hot for my Smith & Wesson model 686. What say you?

Does this stuff look to be anything special? http://www.ammoland.com/2013/11/winchester-win1911-custom-ammunition/#axzz2lbS0g7zS

Tom Selleck's character in Blue Bloods appears to be carrying a Fitz Special of some kind, as can be seen from the cutaway trigger guard. I was curious if anyone could tell what kind of holster this is.

I just purchased a mixed box of reloading components. Included in the box was about 100 rounds of some old surplus 7.5x54 French ammo. Is there any value in this old stuff?

My wife bought herself a Kimber Ultra Carry II the other day. She said it spoke to her. I own a full size Springfield and a Colt Commander. I had never shot a compact 1911 before, and I've read the reliablity can sometimes be hit or miss. So far, we've put over 500 rounds through it to break it...

Did Remington ever produce a Nylon 66 with a parkerized finish? I was considering taking one on trade but was wary that it had been refinished.

Did I miss something or what? On tonight's episode he was showing the different guns to the Nascar driver. When the guy said he wanted all seven guns, Wyatt quoted a price of $28000. That comes to a whopping $4000 a piece! Nothing that I saw would indicate any of those guns being even close to...

I handled a little Colt Pocketlite today for the first time. Neat little piece, but I was curious as to the function of the safety. I realize the safety doesn't lock the slide, and also that the safety can be engaged with the hammer cocked or with it down. What I'm curious about if when the...

The Clinton gun ban expired eight years ago, but I still see and hear people use the terms pre-ban and post-ban all the time. Is there any real reason to still refer to guns or magazines in such a way?

In the last month I picked up these two to add to my collection. A Sig Sauer P6 with a date stamp of 9/82 which my wife has claimed for herself. Today I bought this P225 that's in great condition. The date code put's it manufactured in 1998. From what I've read, the early P6s had a different...

Does anyone else here tend to ignore the long drawn-out posts on the forums?

I've been working a part time job at a new gun store in my area. Recently the owner has concluded that we have been handling gunsmith work incorrectly. Now his policy is to have the customer fill out the 4473 transfer form and perform NICS check before we can return their gun to them. This is...

I need some ideas on what to do with this Smith model 36 I picked up a few months ago. I got it for a good price because about half the bluing was gone and it had some surface rust and a few pits. I've been working it over with some fine grit emory cloth and have removed most of the pits and...

I've been a fan of Swiss Army knives for years and have a few that I carry on a daily basis. My Swiss Army Explorer is my favorite but the handle scales are getting a little loose. You used to be able to find replacement scales online but I'm not having luck finding any lately. I can find the...

I know this is a firearms related forum, but how about creating a subforum for topics that aren't firearms related. The gun related discussions great. But, I'd like to interact to these same like-minded people about other subjects of similar interest.
