    GLOCK: The Dark Side???

    How does ownership of a Glock convert you to the proverbial "dark side?" Looking in my safe, most of my pistols are 'dark' (i.e., blue or black). HiPower? Dark. Makarovs? Dark. SIGs? Dark....except for a stainless one. CZ? Dark. HKs? Dark, again. Why can't owners of these and other fine...

    PA-63 Exorcism

    I put the Makarov.com spring upgrade ($9) into my PA-63, replaces the main-spring and recoil spring. WOW, what a difference! The horrid 50-pound double-action pull was reduced to a very manageable level. The punishing recoil in the thumb's metacarpal is now gone. And without the anticipated...

    PA-63 slide not staying open

    I got a PA63 a couple days ago, and it appeared to function flawlessly when originally handling it. Now, I just finished stripping it, cleaning out the cosmo, and while I did this the slide stop lever on the left side of the frame fell out. I popped it back in,which took a bit of twisting, and...

    military-issue wristwatches?

    Anyone know what the current mil-spec wristwatch looks like? I had an old OD plastic one that I picked up 15+ years ago....I hope they updated them. Are those Luminox watches the real deal?

    Skeet vs. Trap vs. sporting clays

    What's the difference? I understand that sporting clays is like golf with a shotgun (kinda like a putt-putt course).

    How come my post count dropped?

    Really not that important, but yesterday I was nearing my 300th post (I know, I know, that ain't much considering I've been a member since 1998....can't believe it's been that long), but today my last post was only 249. How did I lose 50 posts since then? Is it a cookie problem? Just wanted...

    My friend has an old DA revolver...6-shooter, with break-open action. Sorry I don't have a pic available. the grips appear to be bakelite, and have fancy scrolled 'H' on each panel. There are no marks anywhere except for above the bbl...it reads, " military 1919-- calibre 10-35 ." This...

    I commited a Negligent Discharge tonight

    I am stupid, stupid, stupid stupid, STUPID! I was getting my gear ready to go shooting tomorrow morning. I was excited because I just got a new barrel for a shotgun. I wanted to compare it to the Remington shotgun I usually keep for self defense locked in my bedroom, so I had them both out...

    S&W Safe-T triggerguards

    Just picked up a 2002 S&W catalog at my local gunshop.... turned to page 8&9, my oh my, what kind of monstrous addition to a gun is THAT?!? Looks like Levi-Strauss got hold of the Smith trigger guards and started riveting. Makes you want to give the designers at Hi-Point a pat on the back. I...

    Gunroom setup--humidity

    Howdy. I live in a fairly temperate region of the USA. When the ex and I broke up, I transformed her walk-in closet( 10footx6foot, no windows) into my gunroom. Safes have goldenrods installed as well as dessicant canisters. Installed a GE Room dehumidifier. Room also has a register for the...

    Win 1300 project question

    Hello.... It's been a while since I've posted on TFL. Used to cruise through here daily a couple of years ago and I'm glad TFL is still up and running, better than ever in fact. I am in possession of a Winchester 1300 Black Shadow Turkey 12g with 22" ribbed bbl. It is a very lightweight gun...

    Navy Arms Lee-Enfield Ishapore 2A tanker in .308

    Hey folks! Just picked up another new toy. The quality of the stock as well as price and unusual box magazine were enough to take it home with me. Anyone have any thoughts/criticisms about this rifle? i.e., durability, perceived recoil, collectibility, accuracy, loads to avoid/recommend...

    Benelli M4 Super 90

    Just got my new Benelli catalog today. The new Joint Service Combat Shotgun is featured in all of it's mouth-watering glory. I personally haven't seen or heard much about this new shotgun. Anyone know when they're supposed to hit the shelves? It looks like the old M3 but has a new rail above...
