My Python suffers from being nickeled and a shooter, not a safe queen. I've been thinking about getting it redone would prefer blue, but like I said, I love shooting it too much. Not particularly worried about being original, seeing as how I don't have the box and I've only got $500 in it...

Just got this back from being finished in Teflon/Moly. Fusion frame and slide, bobtailed by them. They were supposed to fit the frame and slide, but didn't. I put it together using a bunch of Ed Brown parts from Brownells (thank goodness for 03 ffl discount!) My idea was for it to be a poor...

You all may not know this, but there's this little company up in Ct. that makes decent 1911-type pistols. :p Just bought, fairly recent build. No frame rub of note after 250 rounds, very tight, shoots as well as any 1911 I've shot yet (including my Clackamas Kimber). Ran right out of the...

So I've been thinking hard about getting a 625 in .45 ACP, but I've read some people have had good results converting a LC gun to shoot both LC and acp w/moonclips. Anyone done this? The guy at TK Custom says that I have to have some special thick moonclips to shoot .45 acp that cost...

Trying to tighten up the groups on my current AR setup, the Bushy lower I'm using has an atrocious trigger. What do you all recommend for an affordable replacement? Stipulations: 1. I'm not doing the 15 minute trigger job. I might get a x39 upper in the future. 2. Under $200.

Boycott Until Oleg gets control back. http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/474369.html I personally just got banned over on THR for calling for supporting Oleg in this in my signature. From Derek:

After building a dedicated .22 1911 from a Ciener slide and a Rock lower for fairly cheap, thought I could build my own 1911 out of parts. Would like to have a hard weather, rought treatment gun, and my Colts (or the Kimber or the BHP) don't really fit that bill. Something I wouldn't have to...

So after much deliberation and hem-hawing around, I finally decided to purchase a 6.8 upper to try out this year for deer season (yes, I'm a few months early); a Jim Zumbo special, if you will. I considered a grendel build, but decided that wasn't cost-effective. The 6.8 is definitely a...

Subscription cancelled. Nasty letter written and cc'd to NRA and GOA.

Found a Beretta 1200, looks like a Benelli Montefeltro, and am considering buying it. Real light, feels good, should tote easy. Only problem I see is it is fixed choke (mod) and it won't shoot 3" shells. $400, play or pass?

Looks like they have imported Zabala, Breda, and Valmet, but the current crop are turks. Any clue the parentage? Fell in love with and bought a hunter lite 20ga. Thing weighs 5 pounds, both barrels shoot great, and kick with 1oz wasn't THAT bad. ;)...

Just acquired what appears to be a late 70s Ithaca in great shape. Thought I was out of the shell-shucking game, but this beauty dragged me back in. It's a 95% Featherlight with a mod barrel, which is great for most of the hunting I do except for one thing: Turkeys. I know I can get the barrel...

Simple really. Bought a used upper on the AR15 EE, got it in, great shape, yadayada. 16" OlyArms plinker A1-style. No flash suppressor. Barrel doesn't have crown, has a notch around end of barrel, not threaded. Seeing as how not having a "target crown" or any type of crown at all, what...

Would rather have a light handy deer rifle for carry around and intrigued by the venerable 45/70. I have a .45 Puma, dealer has a 1895 Marlin in great shape with a reciever peep sight. I could trade with little cash to boot. Which would you rather have?

So I got my Savage Enfield in, It's a 1943 with a really nice walnut stock. Nicer than some new commercial rifles I've seen. In the process, I have inadvertently collected 5 rifles all made during WWII. A January 1941 6 digit M1 Field Grade from the CMP, 2 K98 Mauser's (1 made in Obendorfer...

Build a cheap AR Okay, so lets see who has built the cheapest AR. I've been thinking about adding an AR to the arsenal, but don't want to waste much money on a poodle shooter. I'm waiting on my CMP M1 and for some reason, I think I need an AR. I found a complete lower from Sarco for $179...

:D Make your own: http://www.flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/motivator.php

Getting a k98 drilled and tapped, but gunsmith has run into a problem. He says the action may be too hard. So far he broke a new bit at first attempt. So he took it into machine shop to anneal it. No luck so far. He said he had one more thing to try before he gave up. He also mentioned that...

Grandfather's old .22, supposed to be a real good shooter, but needs new stock. Can anyone identify this rifle, I'm thinking Marlin something or Winchester 67a. The only lettering on it are Ranger, a 14 in a circle and 22 short, long and long rifle. It's single shot and you have to cock it...

thinking about picking one of these up for no good reason. What is the difference between a M38, m44 and 91/30. They are all the same price. Which one should I get???
