I just recieved my GunVault 1000 Deluxe yesterday. We have a 9 year old and 2 year - the 2 year old is pretty curious, so the GunVault is for him (and me). Everything else is locked up pretty well, so the handgun stored in the little safe will have to cover my family (well along with some help...

I have an older TZ-75 (I would have to check the manufacture date, but I believe it is from the late 80's or early 90's). I put standard CZ Hogue grips on it, and I bought MecGar mags for a CZ75 for it. I had to dremel a little notch in the follower on the mags to get the slide to lock back...

I'm looking for a little input. I want to purchase a new handgun for mostly range use, but also for HD. I currently own a TZ-75 (clone of the CZ75), and this firearm was purchased used (well used); and I do not trust it. Occasional FTF, FTE, etc. So I've been doing some research (visited a...

I would buy a stripped lower and an assembled upper (upper, barrel, handguard, gas block, etc) since spacing would have been checked. You can then buy a lower parts kit for your stripped lower and a stock (either collapable or not). A lower is the only item that needs to go through a FFL (the...

You might have to buy specialty tools for assembling an upper, but for a stripped lower, LPK, etc; I only purchased a $6 stock wrench. I used a set of punches I had in my tool box, some vice grips, and that was about it. A complete upper will simplify things while allowing you to mix & match...

As far as gun laws, I do agree that MO is the better side of the river to live on. For your proposed work location, the I-44 or I-55 way to work would be a good idea. I live in IL, but I work in MO. Each state has pro's and con's. Strictly on gun laws MO is better, but ask the MO guys...

I cut down a factory wood stock (so my daughter could shoulder it better) while doing that the finish was a little off. So I stripped it, and stained it a very similar color as you want. Home Depot has water based stain that can be custom tinted for a color you want - it might not be perfect...

I was under the impression that rifle/pistol ranges were not there. I wonder if there were some, if they were temporary for the competition? My dad lives very close, and the lack of rifle/pistol is a bummer to me. Josh
