    What would you ask a gun mfgr to build?

    CZ to made left-hand versions of their centerfire bolt action rifles. Only the 527 American model is available. I'd love to have a left hand mannlicher stocked hunting rifle.

    Yildiz over/under ???

    Yildiz S/S in stock I bought a 20ga. Yildiz S/S, my first shotgun, three weeks ago. The Academy store said that they keep at least one of each gauge in stock, but they had several 12 ga. in the store. The 'lil .410 was almost too nice to put back but I realized it wasn't for a brand new...

    Has anyone ordered or received an order from Eric at HBE leather?

    Holster received My LH tuckable Pro arrived yesterday :) . Finely made product and a nice, tight fit for my Hi-Power. I ordered a Pro as I'm in civil service and could see having to unclip the firearm and lock it up one or more times a day. FYI, there are now two clip types available. I went...

    Has anyone ordered or received an order from Eric at HBE leather?

    HBE holster orders It would be nice if orders were actually on a 'first in-first out' basis, but apparently they're not. My order was place on Jan. 16 and paid for on Jan. 20. No holster yet. Mine was a LH tuckable Pro out of horsehide for a High-Power. And still no replies from Eric...

    Yea or Nea on FN Mk III?

    Love it! I have a 9mm FN HP with the SFS, my first Hi-Power. I carried a Lightweight Colt Commander for several years so am used to cocked and locked and prefer it over the SA/Da of my old Beretta, or DA only. I adapted to the SFS in no time and the trigger pull was much better than I...

    Has anyone ordered or received an order from Eric at HBE leather?

    shoulder holsters on general officers in-theater

    Generals not qualified with sidearm??? I don't think so, certainly not as a blanket statement. I'm in Public Affairs and have been to two firearms qualification sessions with newly promoted general officers. General officers are issued a blued Beretta M9 with wood grips that stays with him...

    Question on bersa finishes

    Bersa .380 Well, I have the dual-tone Thunder 380 and the blued finish is holding up very well. It's also the prettiest of the various combos (in my opinion, of course). It is well made for the money, only needing the adjustable rear sight drifted a bit to the left to zero, and a bit of hand...

    any opinions on the A bolt

    They aren't that strong My brother and his son caught some pouchers on his property a few years ago. They had a cow elk down wounded and were butchering a bull elk when they were caught. My brother grabbed the A-Bolt from one of the perps and wrapped it around a tree, shattering the stock and...

    Whats the best caliber for sea lions?

    22 LR My Dad was a commercial fisherman on the coast of Oregon in the mid '50s. As he was pulling in the nets, sea lions would take a big bite out of a netted salmon then do it again to fish after fish. He carried a 22 LR Marlin rifle and found it to do the job. North"wet"

    Wife/Girlfriend is ANTI! What to do??

    Wife now an enthusiast My spouse of 23 years has never had an interest in guns. I asked her to attend an NRA sponsored intro to handguns for women, as I explained that I at least wanted her to understand safe handling of a gun if she ever had to. She agreed to attend. The class was three hours...

    Why own multiple examples of the same gun?

    One Hi-Power for the ... bedroom, one for the hollowed-out dictionary, and one for the waist. Oh yeah, another to send off for hard chroming. That should about do it. North"wet"

    Islamic organization has infiltrated a gun message board

    Computer Science project When I was living in Izmir, Turkey 1989 - 1992, there was a university professor at the local Ege University teaching a college class for programmers and one of the class assignments was to develop a new virus. Looks as if his class may be focusing on hacking the...

    10m zero for a m-14

    M-14 sight adjustment You're not looking for a 300 meter zero with a M-14. I carried one in basic training (circa 1969) and the 25 meter sighting in was one inch high at that range. At an estimated (remember you're using eyeballs, not a range meter in combat) 300 yards you aim for the head...

    So, who really carries their HP's?

    Plan to ... When my holster FINALLY arrives. Went out plinking with my FN 9mm SFS yesterday. Still feels like a small gun to me, but of course my previous belt gun was a Ruger stainless Bisley <grin>. Problem with working for the military is that 'no guns' sign at the gates. Go figure...
