Kd, thanks so much! That really helped me. Although I have the original everything(box, inst.manual even registrations papers), I used the exploded drawing in the link while I read in the inst. manual, and it really helped me solve the probem! Case solved. I haven't taken a gun apart in over 25...

I just rescued a Colt MkIV/Series 80 Government Model 380 from my brother in law. It's been on a shelf for years. I originally purchased the gun in 1984 or '85 as a birthday present for my father in law. He passed in 2000, and B.I.L. got it. I traded him for it, so it's now in my possession...

If you're going to be in Fort Worth, Winchester Gallery is sure worth a look. Don't expect to see many hunting guns, but expect to see plenty of Antique Winchester lever actions. Decent selection of AR's,etc. But their stock & trade is pistols. Most of their showroom floor is dedicated to...

Ithaca Mod.37 trench gun Eagle "K" marked PPK in 9mm Kurz And about 200 other things to numerous to mention. :D

Max, why don't you post a link from a local Reno TV station, or newspaper that gives some details on the story? I looked at both KNRV and KOLO websites, and the Reno Gazette, but couldn't find one thing on it.

I'd take it to a big gun show like the Dallas gun show at Market Hall. They always have cartridge collectors set up there, probably several. Ask what they'd give you for it. It's pretty neat. If you cant get 2-3(or more) times what current ammo prices are, I'd just keep it. That has...

Massad Ayoob had words of advice on an episode of "Personal Defense TV" on the Sportsman Channel, 2 weeks ago: 1. After the BG is down, and his weapon is secured out of the way, call police and inform them of the self defense shooting. Holster your weapon! 2. Keep eye witnesses on the scene...

I find that vid both moving and informative. That organization has many excellent videos. I wish they were better publicized. To OP, thanks for posting!

I pay $7.50 for unlimited time, for a pistol lane in Fort Worth. But that's after a Sr. discount.

Good food for thought Tomcat. Thanks for posting (the 2nd half was entertaining as well) :)

Well put T.R. My sentiments exactly.

That's good to know Matt. Thanks.

I would make it known to the administrators and moderators of the board of what is happening, and let them take the appropriate action. They need to monitor the message board and remove posts that are misleading, or against the law. And perhaps take action(banning) those who are spreading...

I wish you all well in that battle. Please keep us posted on the unfolding events.

I have had an Omega Speedmaster Professional(the original moonwatch, the wind up kind) since 1965. I have worn nothing but that watch since then(I'm 61). I wore it while at summer camp at Fort Sill in 1970 on all the ranges(pistol, rifle, 81mm morter, 155 howitzer, M-60 machine gun, 106...
