I've heard it mentioned before, and really never gave it much thought. I just thought they were cheap pistols, like my Rossi .38sp. Then, last night I was browsing through the Brady website(I wanted to see how they were going to spin the VA tragedy), where I saw the term "Saturday Night...

Since it doesn't look like I have any ftf takers on my little Kel-Tc P3AT, it's comming with me to the gun show this weekend. The local gun stores dont care for used P3AT's, so a ftf or trade is what I'm trying next. Now, it's easy to take a rifle to a gun show(slung over shoulder with acton...

Hey guys, I'd thought I would get some input for my dad's upcomming 58th birthday. For a little background, his only military experience was a signalman on a destroyer in Vietnam and a naval salvage diver during the 70's. He's never been more than a birdhunter and as such, only has shotguns and...

Interesting info site with owner's manuals, etc. in .pdf file format. Mods, if this is posted in the wrong section, my apologies. http://www.stevespages.com/page7b.htm

I was eyeballing about 7 or 8 used bp pistols this morning at my local gun store(hve the hankering for one), and I noticed that all of the revolvers had scratches all around the cylinders. They didn't look uniform in any way. Is this common, and what's it from? I'm completely ignorant to black...

I posted this in the Art of the Rifle forum, but it seems you guys have the most smarts in the art of gunsmithing(And you've all been very helpful in the past). I humbly call upon you for help: Just got my go/no-go gauges for my Romy builds, but now I'm really confused. They're made by Clymer...

Just got my go/no-go gauges for my Romy builds, but now I'm really confused. They're made by Clymer and specifically have "7.62x39" etched into them, but when I "chamber" them, they don't seat all the way down(Are they even supposed to?). I've tried them on two of my Romy kits and my WASR. Same...

This safe came with the barn that we just bought, and I can't figure out what model number it is. I also don't know what, if anything is in it. Anybody have one? Capacity? And how much should I expect to pay to have it opened and re-keyed by a locksmith? I'm dying to see what's inside...

For my current AK builds, I'm looking for someone in the area that can do a good bluing job on my receivers. Anyone know of a good smithy?

I've never been anything more than a bird hunter, but I'm moving down to a big plot of land in rural south Texas, where coyotes are everywhere. We saw a pack of three cross our land the other night when we were down there. We haven't re-located our horses from Austin yet though. Are they a...

Decided to hold off on the AR build, and go ahead and slap a few AK's together. Should be a lot more challenging, and will give me the opportunity to try my bubba skills. Ordered two hand select, #'s matching w/G2 trigger kit Romy's from Cope's. They cleaned up beautifuly, but upon closer...

Question 1- I picked up Keltec's +1 mag extension(#P3AT-313)for my little P3AT, mainly so I can get a bit more of my middle finger on the grip. But the problem is, with 7 rounds loaded, the mag won't seat properly. It's almost as if the 7th round sits up too high in the mag. It gets stuck about...

Can you imagine the money and time I'd spend playing dress-up with an AR? I've been known to paint a motorcycle three different colors in a weekend, use 4 different carb/intake setups on a 347 stroker in a single afternoon, and don't even get me started on living room re-arrangement. All of...

Ok, I'll admit it. I always thought my first auto would be a stainless GI 1911 frame, a Model 92, a Browning, or even a P99. But then I found this guy selling a LNIB for about half the cost of a new one. I can't pass up a sweet deal, even if I'm not in the market for a small pistol. It was said...

My birthday's comming up, and I've decided to build my first new rifle. I was going to order a complete upper and lower as seperates. I've pretty much decided to go either Bushmaster or RRA, but for some reason, I'm leaning towards Bushmaster. Maybe it's because I've memorized their catalog over...

Just an interesting story I thought I'd share- My fiance and I met with a prospective minister today to find someone to officiate our wedding in December. He was recommended by his wife, our wedding coordinator. So, my fiance and I got to the meeting place(Starbucks within a Barnes and Noble)...

I've always been a casual plinker at the range, not giving much thought to the size of my groups. Inspired by some of your posts and pics of tiny little groups, I took the Weatherby to the range for some semi-serious shooting. It had been a long time since the Weatherby and I were together, and...

Well guys, I'm saying goodbye to the city life, and moving into the country. My fiance and I just picked up 40 acres in Rio Hondo, TX, and is in the middle of nowhere down in south Texas. Our property is a rectangular plot, with 15 foot wide irrigation canals on three sides, and a fence line on...

I was given a stinkload ($700) during Christmas in gift cards to Adademy for a safe. Now that I've bought that, I've got $200 extra to play with. I want to get my first semi-auto, mainly for range time, but possibly for CCW in the future. I've always wanted a 1911, but the Walther P99 (.40) is...

Why is it so hard to find bakelite mags for 7.62, when it seems that everyone and their mother has them for 5.45? Demand? I've found a few places overseas that have them, but don't feel comfortable doing foreign orders. Anyone done business with this outfit...
