I've never owned a pickup truck, though that's likely to change with my next vehicle purchase. I think the important thing to remember is that today's P/U trucks are friggin' gorgeous and have all the ride and amenities of a luxury sedan! Is it still a pickup truck when it has four doors...

That is a beautiful pistol. What gets me is that I have dug a ton of dirt in my life. I've been under houses, in the woods, in the city, in the fields. I've been damn near everywhere and dug dirt! Never found anything like a wonderfully ancient flintlock pistol!!! :mad: :fire: :mad...

The soda bottle works just like a regular suppressor in that it traps the gas from the discharge. It doesn't work repeatedly, and it's not as quiet as a normal suppressor because it isn't baffled. But it will work once. Accuracy is affected. The pillow thing works in much the same way as...

CU, good luck with your bag project. Next time you're down this way for a game, let me know and we'll do some shooting. If you haven't been to the Greenville Gun Club, you should. It's worth the drive. Go 'cocks! :evil:

Stag Arms is tops and cheap. M&A parts has a good reputation. If you shop around and haunt the equip exchange at ar15.com, you can find very good deals on slightly used parts. I built my m4gery for just over six bills. It's since been upgraded, but that's part and parcel with the...

I have the 45 and never really found it that reliable. The first thing I had to do was remove the magazine safety mechanism as it was constantly binding up. The mag release and bolt hold-open are ridiculous and certainly not designed for intuitive use. Detail stripping is a nightmare, but...

Back in the day when I worked for an armored car company, I thought I was quite the pistolero. I went from never really shooting a pistol to getting out to the range (on my own time/dime) and shooting for accuracy at 25yd at least twice a month. When I got a slot to try for my NC armed...

I used to carry a 1991 on the job, but then the company had a change of heart and said it was just too dangerous. I was pissed because they would issue the Glock to supervisors and managers that never went out on route, but a Colt was too dangerous. The majority of armored personnel that I...

Second for the filler beads. I just made up a rest using one of those canvas coin bags you always see at the gunshows, and the plastic beads work wonderfully. A buddy uses a five-pound bag of flour that he wrapped in black duct tape (gotta be tactical!). I like mine better. :)

As I understand it, and I'm not an expert, both Leupold and Burris have lines of optics that are made overseas. Not all of their product is un-American, but some of it has to be to bring the price down. Generally, if the glass is under $200, you can pretty much rest assured that it wasn't...

Celestron and Meade both offer good spotting scopes. Another brand to consider is the Alpine. I would steer towards brands marketed to birdwatchers and astronomers as that groups is very picky about quality in the glass. The stuff that's sold to hunters is generally very poor in quality...

What better way to make post 1k than to share the joy? Thanks for everything, follks.

Don't restock it, wrap the wrist in rawhide for a traditional repair. Not only authentic, but it looks great and gives you a good grip.

Max, I'll go with the Gold Dot any day. The HS is an antiquated design and has more than enough examples where it failed to expand. As for weight, you're gun will have to choose that. I once loaded 147g 9mm ball into my BHP and had one magazine failure after another. Seems the bullets were...

What are your qualifications? Why do you want to be a security guard? What does this line of work offer that others don't? Security officers/guards are some of the most denigrated people out there, and they have, by and large, earned that low standing in our society. There is a reason they...

Picked up 9 AR mags in a recent group buy. Planning on grabbing two new stripped lowers this year and some two more cases of ammo. I'd love to find a place that sells cheap MecGar OEM mags for my CZ75B. Everything I'm seeing is $25 or better and that sucks.

I've got one. What do you want to know? Have you fired it a lot? Have you inspected the hammer strut bridge?

I got to do this once and had a blast. I was the only pro-gun person in the high school class and decided to use gun control as an example of dislogical discussion. After a few minutes of talking about reason and logic, one girl just wouldn't give up the idea that guns are the root of all...

I just picked up a pair of Rocky bear claw/paw/whatevers. My job keeps me outside in all kinds of places, though mostly the woods and constructions sites. Basically, I'm in the muck and mud. My previous pair of wolverines didn't last at all. Several weeks into them, the leather was...

V, thanks the the sympathy. I can't believe my dad did that, but at least it gave me a solid excuse to buy another rifle. Gotta look on the bright side! A, I was thinking about ordering a wood stock from Marlin, but I'm afraid it won't be anything more than a wooden copy of what I already...
