    Pondering a Taurus 692

    I must have really lucked out, scored mine for $465 off gunbroker back in May of 2020. I was the only bidder.

    My 6.5" 692 fits in a K-frame leather holster.

    Collectors Edition 10/22 and some reconfiguring

    Sure looks like a BX trigger to me (side by side with a standard polymer OEM 10/22 trigger group): Mine also has a sub-3 lb trigger pull out of the box. No standard 10/22 trigger is that good.

    What did you shoot today?

    200 rounds through the 60th anniversary 10/22 today. Fine-tuning the sights. About as much precision as I can expect from the ghost ring rear aperture.

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    No malfunctions through my Hi-Powers, Beretta 92, PX4, and Sig P365XL so far. 🤞 Haven't tried it in my CZ Shadow 2 yet, but will report back once I do

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Palmetto State Armory has this stuff on clearance for 35 cents per round. Decided to stock up on some, should last a decade or two mostly for function testing and as carry ammo for my 9mm sidearms.

    Auto_loader with hammer Question

    Storing it cocked has no adverse effect on the main spring, one could argue there's no reason to store one hammer-down either. Cycles are what wear out springs, not constant tension. FYI I don't currently own any 1911s, but I store my Hi-Powers cocked & locked, including one from World War II.

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    Yes yes, autoloading, detachable magazine rifles. But even without a threaded muzzle, if the barrel is threaded on the action end, it could be construed as banned by this bill as-written.

    So the language in the bill actually bans all threaded barrels, not specifying muzzle. This could be construed to mean literally any barrel that has threading for fixation to an action, such as Mini-14 barrels and most other centerfire rifle barrels.

    Chicago Sues Glock

    The criminals carrying these full auto modified pistols don't expect to live long enough on the streets to see their 40s, I doubt a possible state execution after 15-20 years of incarceration on death row will deter many.

    Looking for more information on old Mercury Model M-34, single shot 10 gauge shotgun. Made in Spain.

    Oh also, I found a serial number, it was hidden on an inside surface of one of the action arms, and on opposing inside surface of the other arm, I found these proof stamps:

    I've had this collecting dust for several years, got it from a yard sale for $50 in as-is condition. Seller knew nothing about it, sat in their closet for decades. but as far as I can tell it is in functioning condition, the action locks up solidly and the firing pin pokes through the breech...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    If I'm not mistaken, firearm and defensive use of force politics are a welcome topic of discussion here. The problem is when the political discussion wanders off that narrow subject and onto other major party positions which have little or nothing to do with the civilian ownership and usage of arms.
