    Too bad Tasco is out of business.

    Saw a Tasco EXP 1.5-6 power oval objective scope mounted on a .458 Lott this weekend at a gun show. Had seen this now defunct product on sale for as little as $50 at Natchez but they are now sold out. Saw next best price around $80 at CDNN. Anyone see a better price for this? I was so...

    AK mag carriers?

    Hey all you AK gurus and afficianados out there. How do you carry your spare mags? I have an E. German pouch but it doesn't fit my belt well. Plus it flops around when I run. Anyone know where to get a "good" tac-style vest that takes AK mags? Or if there are pouches that will fit Alice...

    Finally! Another Match!

    I have been away from IDPA too long. The new job has kept me on deadlines EVERY time there has been a match. But no more! Saturday I got to shoot again. I didn't really worry too much about the score mostly I like to have fun. However: Didn't hit ANY no-shoots. No procedurals. No Jams...

    and the heavens parted and I saw....

    I went to Gun Show this last weekend and saw an orginal Fitz Special. This was a Colt New Service Army, cut down to 2 inchesm the grip bobbed and re-welded, the hammer bobbed off, the front of the trigger guard removed, and the whole thing renickled. UGLY as sin, but brutal looking. Ever...

    dreaming of Africa

    Buddy of mine just got back from South Africa. He and his wife took three weeks to hunt, sightsee and take photos. Just listening to his stories, well dang it, makes me thrist for African Adventure. His tally: Gemsbock, Kudu, Wildebeast, Zebra, to name a few. Also told a story about catch and...

    Springfield "Operator"

    There was a sale on Springfields.. Looked at one of these yesterday.. and I HATED it. What a way to screw up the natural balance of a 1911. grip frame is wider front to back, front end is heavy, even without a "tac light" or whatever on it. I'd rather have a plain jane mil-spec one.

    J Frame Advice Needed

    Found a GREAT deal on a J-Frame (all steel model 49). It's got some finish wear, but the side latch is a bit loose. There is some up and down play in the latch. Can this be tightened with the screw that runs through it or is this normal?? Any thing else I should look for that is peculiar to...

    Stressfire 2

    Hi all... Just got done reading Stressfire 2: "Advanced Combat shotgun" (Mossad Ayoob) and while it was a quick interesting read, I'm not sure I picked up anything "new" that I didn't already know from TFL. (ie pistol grip vs. reg. stock, patterning & overpenetration, slide vs. auto, etc etc)...

    Taurus "Protector"

    Anyone own one of these? I just came across it on thier web site, looks like an excellent way to get a new j-frame without buying a S&W. I'm still on my quest for an elusive stainless snubby and this sort of caught my eye.

    Musings of a madman

    You know I keep finding Colt lightning rifles for sale on gunbroker and it makes me wonder. Makes me wonder if anyone else was wishing some crafty Italian would make a Large Frame Lightning rifle in 44 magnum, or 44-40, or 45 Colt. Wouldn't that be neat? say an 18-24 inch barrelled pump action...

    Best place to get a Bushmaster?

    Have a buddy looking for a Bushmaster. Don't know much about ar's in general, but he's supposed to send me a "spec sheet" on what he's looking for. He's also not overly familiar with Gunbroker or the Shotgun News. Anyone know what retailers in CO carry Bushmasters?? Thanks.

    dagblast it!

    I have never in my life had a harder time sighting in a rifle in my life. Dad borrowed my .54 Hawken, screwed with the sights, then I couldn't hit a TARGET at 50 yards with the damn thing! I know I don't shoot it regularly, but this had me all screwed up, and shooting beyond the point of...

    Who would buy one?

    Ok I was thinking ( a dangerous endevour to be sure).. Given that we can't have a centerfire pistol over .50 cal, what would make the best "howdah" style double barrel pistol? I bet Pedersoli could Make a dandy 45 caliber one from a cut down 45-70 case. Sort of a "2.5 inch .45" Or would you...

    grip woes pt. 2

    Ok so I get my new buffalo horn gunfighter grips from Eagle via Midway, and not only does the screw end stick out through the other side when it's tightened down... but also, the left hand grip panel doesn't sit flush! Arrrg! The grips on the gun are amazing as far as pointability and looks...

    Grip Woes

    So I took out my Vaquero the other day, noted that my Ajax bonded ivory polymer grips are cracked.. in 3 places and its not from overtightening etc. I don't even run particularly heavy loads through this weapon. Anyone else have this problem? I attempted to get ahold of Ajax (even though on the...
