Anyone see the linked French 30'06 from Natchez (www.natchezss.com)? Looks like (from the photo) circa 1949. Anyone know anything about this stuff? Safe for my M1 Garand?

I decided to go in for a new CMP stock set, as I plan on having my rifle re-parkerized later this year, after shooting the hell out of it. I expected a several month wait for the stock, but it only took about a month to come in. I was also suprised that CMP required a signature for delivery of...

Anyone try this stuff? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=271376

How is the magazine tube on a Remington 870 (Express) attached to the receiver? Is it user-replaceable, or does it have to be soldered or something by a gunsmith?

Hi, Suppose I would like to convert one of my 1911's from a full length to a 4" ("Commander") length gun. 1) Does anyone sell the whole top end for a reasonable price? 2) Should I order one from the OEM, or should I have my local smith build one from a slide and parts? 2) Who do you...

At the pistol range the other day, a guy was shooting a 9mm semi auto of some type (XD? Glock?) which had a laser hanging on the accessory rail in front of the trigger. I am not a IPSC ranked shooter or anything, but I was keeping my shots in about a 6" circle at 20 feet. This guy was making...

Santa Claus brought me a set of Trijicon night sights for my 1911. Man, are these things bright! I swear, you can see them glowing in any indoor shadow. Here is an actual photo (slightly retouched) which simulates what they look like in pitch dark: The photo was taken with my Sony...

I was surprised (pleasantly) today, while at the checkout line at Borders Books, when an armored car driver came in to pick up the cash. I saw that he was carrying a blued 1911 of some type with Hogue type grips, cocked and locked. I was impressed by two things: first that his company...

Hi, I have a Kimber Custom Classic II 1911, front and rear dovetail sights. I am going to swap the front and rear sights out. Would it be feasible to buy a P500 sight pusher ($130), do it myself, and re-sell the pusher, or would I be better off paying a 'smith to do it? What is a...

The good news is that the CMP got my application (first ever CMP attempt for me) and everything is in order. The good news is that I am now on the wait list for a Service Grade M1. The bad news is that I have no idea how long it will take. 3 weeks? 3 months? Sigh.

Hi, My Rem 870 has an 18" imp. cylinder barrel with a silver bead on top of a small ramp. Can someone tell me, which models of fiber optic ("light pipe") type sights will mount easily to this?

Hi, This is a request for photos (or measurements) of the B-Square no-drill "saddle" shotgun scope mount, particularly for a Rem 87u. What I am trying to figure out is how high would this mount put my red-dot, if I were to use it? Is it tight to the receiver, or is there a lot of daylight...

Hi, I am interested in reports from anyone who got a Danish rack grade (minus wood?) from the CMP recently. What was the condition of your barrel? I have heard that some of these are coming with like-new barrels.

Hi, Since CMP just cut off Service Grade orders, and I may nor may not be on the waiting list, I am contemplating my options. I am thinking I may order a Rack Grade sans wood, gamble on the barrel, and plan for a new stock and a refinish job. What do you guys say about a Gunkote or...

Look, I know your 7 M1's are lonely, and they keep whispering to you to order 2 or 3 more... but seriously, how are young guys like myself, who just found out about CMP and got through all the paperwork supposed to get our first Garand IF YOU GREEDY BASTARDS KEEP BUYING THEM ALL UP?!?!? HUH...
