    Does anyone have a AMSEC safe/rsc BF 6040 or 7240?

    I have the 6040 and really like it. The thing is heavy though, and when we moved it we take the door off. The interior can be configured in several different ways depending on your needs. I'm guessing the only difference between the two your asking about is an extra upper level shelf seeing how...

    most expensive gun you have actually been able to touch

    I was at an auction last year and handled an old rifle...a Winchester Lever I think...can't remember all the details...but when it came up to sell 2 guys went back and forth for 5 minutes...at 1K a pop...it was very cool to watch and be a part of. If I remember correctly, it finally sold in the...

    Do you keep your factory handgun boxes?

    Take a look on ebay someday and see what some old boxes are selling for...even newer ones bring good prices. I save each and every box...and have bought off ebay and gun shows and I truly think they are worth saving. If not for storing your pistols in so as to stack them in the safe, at least...

    Wal-Marts that sell firearms?

    We have two Super Duper Wally Worlds here...one sells ammo and firearms, the other sells ammo only. Both were built at the same time (year or so ago), on different sides of town, and each sold firearms and ammo at first. Six months later, one stopped selling firearms.

    Is mag capacity your #1 priority?

    Mag capacity is the least of my concerns when buying any handgun.

    Cleaning Pt1911

    Mine comes apart and goes back together just like all my other 1911's. What exactly is holding you up?

    Crimson Trace

    I always thought they were expensive and of course I had other things to buy, like ammo. Recently though I bought a used RIA 1911 and it came with a set of Crimson Trace grips already on it. I must admit they are very nice to have and wish I would have bought a set a long time ago.

    Collectibles Insurance Services - Experiences

    I have the NRA ArmsCare and I have no complaints, although I have yet to make any claim and hopefully won't have to. In looking at the Collectables Insurance webpage I notice down at the bottom it is worded as such that if you are insuring firearms you will need to submit a list or schedule...

    Fitting awkward shaped guns in a safe....

    The only thing I have been able to do is place my AK and the M4 on the outside of the partitions. The AK is already short enough and with the stock collapsed on the M4 they both fit under the board with the partitions in it and thus they are off to the side of the other rifles.

    Slide fails to lock open after last round

    Unless your thumb was in a different area, (on top of the slide stop), when shooting the CorBon stuff it sounds like a magazine problem to me also. As in the mag spring isn't pushing up hard enough on the follower to, in turn push up hard enough on the slide stop to engage the slide.

    Did you ever buy back a gun you sold...I mean the exact SAME gun?

    Right after my divorce a few years back and in need of some fast cash I sold my Kimber Pro Carry to my buddy. About 3-4 months later I bought it back thinking I had the money, but a couple of months later I sold it back to him. We did this back and forth thing 5-6 times before I finally got back...

    Removing finish from wood grips

    Good question...Im not sure if the paint thinner will work. If you havent tried it yet just go to your lumberyard there and ask the guy back in paints what is the best product for removing laquer from wood. I remember using something that was sprayed on and then it bubbled up after awhile and...
