Well yesterday I got a new toy. Price was too good to pass up. Got me a Rock Island Armory Officer Model 1911. Have read pretty good things about these. Wasnt exactly looking for another 1911 but for the price I couldnt say no. Got the brand new pistol in the box and a De Santis iwb holster...

I have a Bushmaster V-Match carbine flat top commando model. I have been searching for a quad rail gas block but also want it to have a bayonet lug. I would settle for a tri-rail though can anyone point me in a good direction to locate one or have a better idea. I basically want to have the...

Ok. I have a really stupid question that I'm 99% sure I know the answer to. My brother in law is starting to want to get a handgun. I've been around guns for most my life a licensed by Indiana for the last 12 years to carry a handgun. He was telling me tonite his boss has a pistol that only the...

Went to the local gun show today and walked out with a new to me toy. Been trying to sell a Ruger LCP and a Sig P250 for a while now and had luck at the show. Traded the Ruger and Sig (which were LNIB) for a LNIB Smith and Wesson M&P 45acp and got $165 to boot. Very pleased with the deal...

I recently took my Sig p250 subcompact 9mm to the range. Love the feel of the trigger but the pistol seems to be shooting 5 or more inches low. And that's at 10 yards. Any suggestions. Is this something digs warranty would cover. Any ideas are welcome.

Just picked me up a new toy this past weekend. A Sig P250 sub compact in 9mm with the small grip. Picked it up for what I thought was a pretty good price of 400 out the door. Havent made it to the range yet to try it out as the weather around here isn't cooperating. Does anyone know where I...

Well its been a while since I have had the extra funds to buy a new toy. About 9 mos ago i traded a used GSG 5pk 22lr for a nib S&W sigma 9 mm. I got 2 extra clips by mail in rebate for the sigma also. Yesterday I sold the sigma for $400 at a garage sale we had. Well im now looking for...

I recently picked us some old US military field manuals and was wondering what if any value they may hold. I picked up the lot for $20. The list includes: 1. Guidbook for Marines printed 1981 2. AR320-5 Military Terms Abbreviations and Symbols printed 1958 3. FM101-5 Staff Officers Field...

I was cleaning out my moms garage of my stored stuff and cam across an olive green package labeled Lightningpak. I was unable to locate any info online about this other than by the patent number 1901313. It would seem that it is some sort of heating device and by the color and design of the...

Just wanted to take an oppertunity and give kudos to Springfields customer service. I recently on april 16 sent the slide of my xd9 sub in for refinishing due to small rust dots. They were closed for inventory for a week following and I was made aware of that before sending. I received the slide...

I have a Sig P226 navy. I bought new. Today for only the second time I had it out at the range and while cleaning it after the trip I noticed a V shaped cut out between where the barrel and guid rod go. There were no mishaps or anything like that. I assume this is to allow removal of the...

Alright here's the deal. I have a gsg 5pk pistol. Like new with box and all the goodies including a 22 rnd mag. I am hearing offers of 325 to 400 for trade. So I am looking to trade it for something ill have more fun with. The new toy will have no specified purpose as I have hom defense and ccw...

I recently was going thru the safe and came across some rifles i haveny shot in a while, among them is a Chinese Norinco SKS. I remember when I purchased it back in '92 for a whopping $79. The left side of the rifle is stamped with 3 chinese characters followed by DB another chinese character...

I have a gsg 5pk I will be trading off in the future (about 100 rounds thru it). I got it thinking it would be a fun plinker but just wasn't what I wanted (I'm sure we've all done that). I'm looking at possibly getting a 9mm carbine since nearly all my handguns are 9mm. I was internet shopping...

I hope this is the correct place for this post. I recently purchased at an antique store a supposed WWII mortar round. Story is that a local judge is a war collector and opening a war museum in Vincennes Indiana and had some overstock and consigned some for sale. Had a lot of helmets and daggers...

Just recently got me a sig 226 navy edition. Bought it for 650. Did I get a good deal? Second question is I read on anothe site ( http://en.allexperts.com/e/s/si/sig_p226.htm ) that the u prefix serial which mine is should not have an accesory rail yet according to sigs website it does have an...

I have a bushmaster v-match carbine. The lower is stamped 223-5.56 mm and the barrel is stamped 5.56 1/9 h bar. Now i know that the 5.56 is tyhe military equivalent of the 223 just a little hotter load. Question is would i be safe to shoot 5.56 surplus ammo in my bushmaster. A local shop got...

Hello all. Need some more help in id'ing what I believe is a Hopkins & Allen rolling block single shot 22 long rifle. It's in somewhat ruff shape and was wondering if it is worth trying to fix it up. I am sure it is missing the forearm and the rear sight. The stock is cracked on one side but...
