Amen to your PPS DB. Nobody has fought harder over the centuries than the French. They were at war and fighting like tigers from the time of Julius Caesar all the way up until 1918...almost continuous warfare. They invented smokeless powder too!
The Berthier is a really nice rifle and comes in some very intriguing configurations. I like the 3 round en-bloc clip...for some reason. The upgraded version takes 5 rounds but it will still work with a 3-rounder. Neat.
I have a nice little budget AR carbine. The older SW Sport...no dust cover etc. I'd like to put a new upper on it with a dust cover and either a mid or rifle length gas tube and maybe an 18 inch bbl.
Can if get one of the captive, one piece buffer assemblies that will fit in the carbine but...
Have they fixed all that mess from a few years ago? Canted barrels and all that? I've seen a nice one in .357 which is exactly what I want. I am wondering if they got over their production hurdles here in 2018 and if they are worth getting again?
Yes Danny, this is the coolest rifle in the universe. It even beats the Remington Model 8/81. Just amazing. According to Ian, they will build you one in whatever caliber you want. Being a European rifle, I'd want mine in 7x57 which might be the coolest cartridge in the universe...or at least...
Well I've got brand spanking new Mecgar mags. 7 rounders for the .380 PPK/S and 8 rounders for the .32 PP. I found the old springs and I am going to just put them back in and see if that makes a difference. If so, I will sit tight there. I frankly do not recall this problem prior to the...
I have a couple of very nice old Walthers. A West German PPK/S .380 and a Pre-War (Zella-Mehlis) PP in .32. I went out and got new Wolff recoil springs and since, I've had some fairly regular failures to feed all the way with full mags. The rounds are on their way in but they've hung up...
The "don't buy Ruger or S&W" thing is just dumb. An awful lot of water under the bridge (not to mention a lot of soil over top of old Bill and for a long time). Free country however. Do as you wish and more power to you.
Around here, central Indiana, the good mom and pop places (and there are many) a) might actually have mom and/or pop working there during the daytime, and b) sell well below MSRP on just about everything except ammo. These same shops tend to be pretty heavy on guns and pretty light on...
I'll tell you. I see a need here but I can't tell you the right way to fill it. But...if I knew what your brother was selling (had a way to see a catalog) and knew where to go to look at them, I would be willing to travel a bit to see, and have the opportunity to buy, nice old guns. Rather in...
When my mom was in the retirement home, independent living area, all the old folks lived in apartments and cooked and whatnot. I always wanted to make friends with some of the families and the widows presumably...friends enough to see if they had old guns to sell. I always imagined every elder...
I think if I won the lottery...the BIG ONE...I'd go to gunsmithing school, buy all the tools, set up a shop, and then NOT go into business.
I just need a gunsmith to put proper sights (tactical ghost ring sights) on my Mossberg 590. Presumably that sort of customer is what one hopes for.
Look. This was standard practice for a couple of generations...a couple of generations ago. We can decry that it was done but back in the day, lots of people were handy with tools, and there were millions of these old rifles to be had for a song. It's what people did! Today those old wooden...
I am just going to say it. I can't imagine that silly trigger mechanism that M&P uses (the two-piece, articulated trigger instead of the flipper thing everybody else uses) holding up. I had one that broke on me and it had to be replaced.
