Remington Nylon 66. It's where the term "gun in a bag" originated among gunsmiths. Take a look at an exploded diagram of one and you will be amazed.

Winchester Model 52 (Pre-"A") The "King of .22's". Born in 1929. Got it at auction for less than a grand. Stole it, actually, considering it was wearing an Unertl 6X scope that's worth north of $600 by itself.

I posted in the wrong thread I meant to put the aove in "The Best Deals" thread. Sorry!

follow up to earlier: Got both Delta Elites for $175/ea. Marlin Mdl. 57M (lever action .22 mag ): $75.00 Winchester Mdl. 12, 16 ga. from 1940 : $100.00 S&W mdl. 15 P&R'd, 95%: $75.00 Colt SAA, early 2nd Gen.(1962), 7.5" bbl., .357mag: Traded to a guy for a new SA Loaded 1911 that cost...

Been a collector for over 20 yrs now. Here are some of the best "deals" I've made: S&W Mdl. 27-2 (.357 Mag 6" P&R'd) 98% condition: $75.00 (2) Delta Elite Stainless first edition (10mm) both in original cases:

Lifer Just made the call and joined the ranks of Life Member. Everyone that can afford to pony up with the $300 needs to do it now! TRUE FREEDOM hinges on the 2nd Amendent and the NRA is far and away the most powerful champion of the right to bear arms. Step up and call 888.678.7894 and...

No Loaded Chamber Indicator On Your XD? Throttlejockey: Are you sure there's no Loaded Chamber Indicator on your XD? Every one I've owned or seen has one. It is listed as a feature on Springfield's website and every gun mag review I've read mentions it. I had an XD .45 and it had one...

Run #7 or #8 in front of #00 buck? In an HD shotgun? For home defense? NO WAY!! Maybe if I was BIRD HUNTING and wanted a mix of birdshot and #00 buck for coyotes, but not in my HD shotgun. #7 birdshot won't reliably bring down 4lb. pheasant at 20yds., let alone a 200# thug. If an armed...

I know it's beating a dead horse to say that "all guns are loaded", but if you take that mindset to heart EVERY time you handle a gun, you won't have another AD. In case you haven't taken the time to become familiar with the various features of your XD, there are two key items to be aware of...

Most AD's occur because someone mis-handles a firearm not knowing it's loaded. Try this: Continue to store your shotgun loaded (either with a chambered round/ safety on OR unchambered)...... But, put a VISIBLE IDENTIFIER on the gun that clearly shows that it's loaded. I suggest some...

Not a chance. Beyond the money, I have way too much time invested in my guns ammo and other miscleaneous equipment to just liquidate it all for convenience sake. My "stuff" means more to me than just it's worth in terms of monetary value. To me, it's worth the "hassle" of transporting it...

As previously mentioned, if going the shotgun route, go with a 12ga. If you can handle a 20ga., you can handle a 12ga.; especially with lighter loads. I would go with a pump gun and stick with proven designs: Rem 870's, Mossberg 500's, Benelli Nova, etc. For ammo, #00 Buck is the way to...

I have one of their non-freefloat carbine picatiny forends on my Bushy M-4gery and am very pleased with the quality. It was an absolute bargain for $50.00. It is properly machined and has a very durable finish. I don't see what a $250.00 high-end version would offer over it. Some of our...
