The 6920 is the definitive AR to get - IF you need to latch a grenade adapter on it. If not, it's kinda silly. If you don't need to do that...
The stock and guards are Cav Arms factory "Coyote." The mag is sprayed Brownell's Alumahyde "Desert Tan," which matches the cav "coyote" pretty...
That trumps brand. A few years back Gun Digest did a test and fired a big variety of barrels from a barrel fixture, so fitment out of the...
I agree. Combine mid length gas, lightweight/original style barrel, carbine length, throw in 5R rifling and meloniting and you have a great...
No question in my mind; I've tried a lot and these are what feel good: 1) Colt Combat Commader 2) S&W 3913/908 They aren't piggy large for...
My dad had a RIA Tactical .45 and it was a very decent gun; it ran well and lacked a few things of higher dollar guns, but nothing "wrong" with...
I need to re-read his old books/collections again, it has been a few years. I bought another copy of "Good Guns..." for a friend for a Christmas...
S&W made very, very few 681's with a lock. 97% of them or more don't have it. I've owned several Rugers; liked them. But they are not forged...
Yeah, that is a 3" N from them (or 3.5", too). That is also a 629-1 in the pic, a "Lew Horton" from 1985-ish. Love that gun. I have 4", too,...
Radagast, I'm not home and can't look it up myself, and it's not in the sticky from Xavier Breath. Chief's Special (j) .38, five screw s/n...
I have no idea what is wrong with him relating his story... Bizarre. On a constructive note, I like Deaf Smith's choice in leather (and his...
Don't forget the original 9mm 1911 gun - the Colt Commander. Doin' it in 9 since 1950. Lightweight, or all-steel (this one is steel). I really...
The VAST majority of the .38 S&W guns that went overseas were 5", and the .38 Specials were pretty exclusively 4". That one being 4", you should...
I wouldn't fret. I would value a nickel 29 above a more pedestrian 625 or 629 mtn. gun anytime. I do have a 629 (3"), but my nickel 4" 29 is a...
You say you are interested in light weight, but I get the feeling from your post you are missing the big picture: barrel profile. A1/A2/M4...
S&W 19 or 66 in 2.5" will come in under that price. Well built, concealable, powerful. Maybe the best cc gun ever made. "I rarely carry, but...
Then it would be coming from a dealer and you'll be paying tax and filling out a 4473. If not, it is used. It can be "like new in box," but that...
First, he needs to be aware the front pin hole is likely a different size, and he'll need an adapter to use a non-Colt Upper on it. Colt used a...
I agree with Black Butte. I'd bide my time until the Mid length with the improved A2 barrel is on the same sale (another configuration they make,...
Great find. On my list for some day - particularly the '48-ish transition type. I never see a round butt, that's a gem.
