http://www.kingsgunworks.com/ FYI: As many have probably noted, King's Gunworks continues to have a website (and catalogue) that hasn't been updated in several years. I called them (looking for some King's Hardball Sights)... According to the nice lady on the phone: Regretfully, they no...

Will long term (months or years) immersion of firearms in Mobile-1 Synthetic Oil cause any damage to bluing on older revolvers? I am describing completely submerging entire handguns into a container filled with a quart or three of oil (minus any wood grips). Are there any additives in...

http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/SelfLoading/70PSS.aspx Any owners' comments? Accuracy/reliability (compared to similarly priced 10/22, standard Marlin 60, Savage, etc.)? Any quirks or nice-to-know pointers? Good enough to harvest rabbit, squirrel, etc.? I'm looking for a...

Was looking at a DPMS Tactical with a "Dissapator" profile (full length handguards, 16 inch barrel, short birdcage). Aside from non-collapsible buttstock (which I would replace), pros/cons? As I understand things, this setup uses a midlength gas system which may/may not enhance cycle of...

Has Ruger ever made a Stainless Blackhawk .357/9mm Convertible? If not, why not?

Any recommendations for El Paso area? Especially looking for a place that carries used or consignment revolvers.

Happy Holidays to All at TFL: I've been with TFL since '99 and have enjoyed the forum immensely. The available knowledge and experience of our 23,000+ members is priceless. I can't remember the last time I purchased a gun rag... Would members be interested in a running sticky thread (with...

Anyone know if SideArmor's N-Frame model fits the older style Smith barrels (without the full underlug)? Will a 27/25/57/29 fit snugly or is the rig strictly for the stainless full-underlug weapons? In general, how do you rate your SideArmor holster?

I'm inclined to think Winchester Silvertip (175 gr / 1250 fps)? I'm thinking that this is about the mildest factory load with a reliable expanding bullet. Its pretty controllable out of a 4" Model 57, but I don't know how the bullet actually performs. Am I missing any others? Anybody have...

Going to overseas location (for 3-4 years) where I can't drag along my firearms. I have a reliable relative who will store in his climate controlled house (but won't use). I've a deathly fear of returning to find RUST on my weapons. Ask me how I know. Not concerned with the security issue...

Colt MKIV Series 70, .45ACP, Blue...Absolutely NIB and unfired...What's it worth? For that matter, what are good condition surplus 1911A1 MAGAZINES worth?

I am not current on air rifle performance and have some questions. I need something to deter some large agressive semi-feral dogs (80-100 lb) whose owners can't seem to understand why I don't need them in my yard on a daily basis. I already have a dog. These mutts have become a nuisance...

Just moved to Southernmost Ohio (across Ohio River from Huntington, WV.). Anyone know of any public or private ranges/clubs? Primarily for handgun shooting, but long gun capability would be nice...Thanx in advance...

Moving to Huntington vicinity soon...where can I shoot?

This one is a little complicated: I am an active duty soldier nearing completion of a 3-year tour of duty in Germany. I have legally purchased a number of handguns (from other service members or thru my local Military Rod & Gun Club). All weapons are registered w/ Military authorities. Over...

Moving to WV in near future. Any info on state laws appreciated (purchase, permits, CCW, hunting, open carry, LEO attitudes, etc.). Specific interest in defensive handgun issues as well as any info on nearby Kentucky and Ohio (reciprocity?). Will be near Huntington...any recommended gunshops...

A recent thread on Colt Pythons brought out the fact that a limited number were produced in .38 Special and that a REALLY limited number were produced in .41 Remington Magnum. My questions: How many? When? Price (if one was for sale now)? Has anyone ever seen, handled, or fired one...

Was in my local shop (looking at an H&K USP Compact .40) when I noticed the only Colt in the store...Blue SAA, case-hardened frame, 3.5" barrel, wood birds head grips...NIB $497. I don't have a lot of experience with SA Colts, but assumed this must be a Cowboy. Have heard less than stellar...

Opinions on NIB prices for following models: CZ-75B....$287? H&K USP Compact 9mm or 40 S&W....$495? H&K P7M13....$887? H&K P8 9mm $498? (Bundeswehr modified USP) All pistols come with factory hi-caps (one or two) What do y'all think...? Also: Anyone own a CZ-75BD? How do you like the...

Any info on how customer backlash has hurt their market share or their bottom line?
