    Pistolsmithing question

    I have a well-loved Kimber Pro Carry with ~7K rounds through it. The frame, including the ramp, is aluminum alloy and has started to show a little bit of wear: dings and dents. Would it be possible to get a steel sleeve or something inset into the ramp to keep this little beauty up and at 'em...

    HK USP Tactical .45

    I found a deal too good to pass up on a USP Tactical at my local gun shop/range the other day. I got the pistol, in about 99.6965% condition, in the slick HK nylon case, with three magazines, the cleaning kit, the lock AND THE UTL for a little less than a grand. I had to have it. Pardon me while...

    Old milsurp rifle to refinish/rebuild?

    A buddy of mine works at a gun store and can get milsurp rifles CHEAP. Like under $100 bucks cheap. I just wanted to know which one would be a good one to pick up and try my hand at refinishing? Mauser, Enfield? If so, which model? Thanks. Jarhead out.

    Response from Albertsons

    A few weeks ago, after attending a Million Misguided Mom March demonstration in Dallas to protest their bliss ninny attempts to disarm law abiding citizens, I sent the following letter to the corporate office of the Albertson's supermarket chain: October 2, 2000 Albertsons General Office 250...

    Deer hunting in south Texas

    I'm going out for whitetails near Uvalde, Texas this weekend, and I feel like a little kid getting ready for his first hunt. It looks like it's going to be pretty warm, and we have a cabin to stay in. I've got my .270 sighted in to the gnat's ass at 100 yards with 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tips...

    OT:Movie fight scenes

    I just watched "The Last of the Mohicans" with Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeline Stowe (Rrowrrr!) and Russel Means. I really enjoyed it: fantastic scenery, great acting and a compelling story. But the fight scene between Magwa, the war chief of the Hurons and Chingatchguk, Hawkeye's father, is...

    Benelli questions

    I know it's been mentioned in previous posts, but I'm looking for a solution, not just an indication that the problem exists. My M1 Super 90 has always been death-and-taxes reliable until I put a Sidesaddle and SureFire front end on it. Now it's basically a pump shotgun, because it won't cycle...

    Little known Texas fact, or fiction?

    I have heard that the Texas legislature has to vote every year to STAY IN the USA. This was brought up in a conversation about some of the southwestern states, such as Arizona and Oklahoma, that have recently passed legislation outlining the conditions under which they would secede from the US...

    Low profile grips for 1911?

    Cruising the gunshows here in DFW, all I can find are Wilson Combat low profile grips, and they are mighty proud of them. I'm talking $55-60 for wooden grip plates for a 1911 full size. Does anyone else make them or sell them? Thanks. Jarhead out. ------------------ The gun you surrender will...

    Just back from the Million Mom March. . .

    My two shooting partners (and former active duty Marines) and I just returned from the counter-demonstration in downtown Dallas. Actually, there were only about 30 or so women of childbearing age, but the kids (it's for the children, after all) and emasculated men made up a grand total of about...

    Al Gore's plans for you and your guns, right from his website. My comments are in italics: More Gun Prosecutors and Federal Agents 500 new ATF firearms agents. We've all seen how the ATF treats the gun owners of this nation. Thanks, Al, but I don't need any more FedThugs. Improve Efforts to...

    .270 adequate for S. Texas whitetails?

    I'm going down to just north of the Mexico border for whitetails this year, and I wanted to know if any experienced folks would recommend going bigger, or if my .270 will get it done. TIA Jarhead ------------------ The gun you surrender will be melted down to form the chains you will wear from...
