    Got a new "survival/pack" rifle - show me yours

    I have a brief report from Kel Tec (PO had them do a few things in 2019). First service note reads: This firearm has been identified as one of a limited run of Sub-357s built by Bud Perette (twistedindustries.com). I find it interesting in that the receiver halves are crafted from steel. Sub...

    Shrinking a Papoose

    @BigBlue 94 .... Well done. I found you here after the blurb on @chicharrones thread. I will be following your lead if I don't get a lead on one of them SRS-M stocks. My papooses are played with already (just dropped pics on chich's thread), but I have a stainless 880 in a polymer stock that...

    Custom Built 1911s. Who builds the Best?

    Add Guncrafter to the original list. Mark Chuck Rogers of Rogers Precision as the premier builder.

    Colt Trooper MK III or Dan Wesson?

    Barrels ... always several on gunbroker; often offered on ebay as well. You will find a small forum of enthusiasts if you go look'n. That is a gateway to the best of everything available. And JMB did not design that Model 15 but a fellow named Karl R. Lewis did. My Monson 715 is one of two...

    Tactical lever action rifle thread: part 2

    It is the 1894 CST (.357/Stainless/Threaded Barrel) that Marlin put in the 2018 Catalog. Surprise ... I haven't found one in the wild. If I ever do, I hope it is for sale.

    Thoughts on 10mm 1911

    The DE is a fine pistol. Chamber support is less than ideal - most notably, for someone that uses brass more than once. However, if you are shooting Sammi spec'd ammo - it is absolutely safe. If you dream of loading to maximum possible velocity with careless disregard of specs, starting loads...

    Pistol caliber carbine poll / semi-autos only

    Ticked other to represent for my pair of Mechtechs - 10mm & 460 Rowland. Course I'm interested in several others which will tick my 9mm button but you limited me to two so an x95 would be nice even as an unlikely expendature.

    UPS Left my gun on the doorstep- no signature!

    Actually ... UPS does know which packages contain firearms - they ask. I'm guessing the driver short changed attention though.

    OK, now lets discuss the 22 TCM

    I do shoot/load 22TCM. It is a blast, but I don't use it defensively. Why not? Cause it booms like 5.56 - first time indoors I had to put it away 'cause the lady learning to shoot in the next lane could NOT avoid flinching when I pulled my trigger. First shot she actually squealed...
