I didn't go to the Gunshow Sunday intending to buy a gun. Honestly. I didn't. However I know now what they mean when they say that a gun can call to you. Cause this one sure did call to me. It was a typical late winter New England gunshow, perhaps a little bit better than some in recent...

I just received yet another call from the Masschusetts Republican Party asking if I would renew my membership and send them money. I again had to reply that while I still consider myself to be a loyal Republican I am resisting sending money because of a previous stance by Governor Mitt Romney...

Midway USA has these on sale for $89.99. Having used electronic earmuffs before I like them and feel that they have advantages in many situations. Has anyone used these particular muffs and have an opinion either good or bad about them? They look like they have a low outline. Thanks.

I have an opportunity to get a Bushmaster with the flattop/A3 handle and 16" barrel to build a patrol-type rifle. How much of a concern is the front sight when using optics on a flattop?

Does anyone know which semi-autos are okay to use this ammo in? My choices are: Browning HP Glock 19 S&W 39-2 (I doubt this one is okay) H&K USP Compact Thanks.

Does anyone here have a Manurhin copy of the Walther PPK/S? My dealer has a used one on sale for $295. It has a pretty good trigger feel, especially in SA. Walthers in this area are pretty high, way out of my price range, usually $600 and up from the few I have seen. Thanks.

I have a chance to pick up a 1983 Lew Horton S&W Model 24-3, virtually NIB. Beautiful deep blue finish, just a light drag ring around the cylinder, I think it might just be unfired since purchase. The cost is about $450 with the original box. Since I already have a Marlin 1894/Ruger Vacquero...

I am thinking of making some alterations to my Remington 879 Magnum Express. In particular I am planning to add a magazine extension and a black synthetic stock and forearm. NO PG! Can anyone recommend a good brand of stock and a place to order it? Thanks.

I saw a nice SA Model 1911 in 9mm at my dealers yesterday. As I looked at it, I wondered if it would be difficult to transform this into a .38 Super. Obviously a new barrel and magazine, but would anything else have to be changed out to make this transformation?

I saw an old Winchester 94 at me dealer's tonight and need some info on it. It is chambered for the .30 WCF which I guess is an older cartridge. Is this caliber still available anywhere or does it have a safe modern equivalent? Also, does anyone know a source of data for a manufacturing date...

or: Who needs Knob Creek when you got Westfield. The Westfield Sportsmans Club ( www.westfieldsportsmen.com ) held what may have been the first machine gun shoot in this part of the state. All sorts of fully automatic weapons were on display and available for guests to shoot. I shot a...

At my local dealer's shop tonight a customer mentioned that his father had heard about a recall of Colt Ponys. There is nothing in the Colt website and the TFL search function has been temporarily disabled. Has anyone else heard anuthing about this? Or is it just a rumor? Thanks.

About a month or so ago there was a thread asking people if they had ever been hit by their own brass while shooting. I made a smart-aleck comment about never being hit by brass from my revolvers. Well, I finally got a semi-automatic that bit me. Picked up a used Colt Series 80 in .45ACP to...

Was able to take my new loaded M1A out to the range today. Could not give it a really good first test, only 50 yards, 10 rounds from the bench, was not even sure if I had the sights zeroed well. However, using South African military ammo I was able to get the group shown in the attached file...

Traveled 100 miles one way to check out some of the new Danish .30-06 ammo at Four Seasons Guns in Woburn, MA. Did not want to go all that way just for some ammo so I decided to look at something I have wanted for a while but could not seem to find in Western MA. And ended up walking out with...

It seems that some Danish .30-06 ammo in clips in bandoleers has come on the market recently. I have seen it from $15 a bandoleer to $18.75. Does anyone have any experience with this ammo? How is the quality? Accuracy? Thanks.

Looked at the number of posts I had made recently and saw that i was coming up on number 1,000. I guess that means that I really AM a TFL regular now! Anyways, to my question. I recently got some M-1 Carbine ammo with the headstamp, "PSD 86". I am sure the 86 refers to a 1986 manufacture...

I have several older S&W K-frames (both early 1970's vintage so no real collector value) which are mechanically good but have worn and marred finishes. I am thinking about having them re-finished with hopefully a close to original S&W blueing. S&W will do it but their price seems high. Their...

I just received this from CMP. "CMP has sold out of NLU 402, .30-06 M2 Ball ammunition. Orders alreadyn received will completely exhaust quantities we had set aside for individual sale. All orders from members received after 31 July 2002 will be returned. A small quantity has been kept in...

I purchased a Colt Flattop upper for my Match Target rifle in order to play around with different sighting sytems and scopes. Mounting a scope with the normal (?) mounting rings I have found seems to work okay. Except for one little point. The front post sight can be seen, albeit very...
