Hey there, my favorite local gun store, City Arms, has a Manurhin Walther PP .32 new on their consignment shelf. It's in excellent shape with very little wear at all. Asking $500.00. Now I know that all the post war Walthers were made in France by Manurhin up until early 80's, and then shipped...
My local gun store has an absolutely beautiful little S&W New Departure Safety Hammerless in .32 S&W Short.
Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't really know a lot about these cute little break tops, but this one's nickel finish and grips were so nice (in a gun probably over 100...
Hey all,
A bunch of the guys (and gals) from calguns.net are getting together for a shoot and barbecue at the Chabot Gun Club on Saturday, July 7th.
Details here.
Come on out and meet your fellow California gun owners and have some food.
This weekend Saturday, March 24th @ Chabot Gun Club in the East Bay.
All details in thread here on the Calguns.net board.
Should be good weather and we've already got a lot of food volunteered, so if you're in the area stop on by. Always nice to put a face to the internet handle.
And...
One of the really neat things about helping out at my local gun store is how something interesting comes in the door every day.
I stopped by the other day and found that a guy cleaning out his parents old house had come across a pile of old gun boxes. He brought them down to us to see if we...
Ok kids, put your thinking caps on for this one.
I'm looking at this GunBroker auction for a nice 3rd Model Perfected Target .22 single shot with a 10" barrel. Looks clean and clear, except for one little thing.
There's a very odd addition to the end of the barrel that for the life of me I...
edit: I should know better; search is your friend. Previously asked and answered.
Howdy all,
I recently picked up a Steyr SSG 69 PIIK and was looking for a source for a spare 5 round magazine and a factory sling.
I was all set to slap a spare Turner Saddlery sling on it but the...
I hadn't heard of this; an assistant federal attorney was kidnapped back in 1998 off the streets of New York City but a trio of gang banger with intent to force him to pull cash from his ATM... and then it gets weird.

From an story in today's SF Chronicle about the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division gearing up for their third combat tour in Iraq since 2003.
He looks bored.
Specialist David Arnold cleans and inspects M-4 and M-16 rifles before taking them to a shooting range to check their sights.
Here's the situation:
I have a pretty extensive collection; a little bit of everything. But for some reason, I never picked up a Beretta 92. Always liked them, fit my hand good and all that but never had a compelling reason to put cash down for one.
Here's where it gets interesting: in...
I have the opportunity to pick up a very lightly used Ruger 1A Light Sporter in 7x57 Mauser.
I've always lusted after a No 1, but I have zero (0) knowledge of the 7 Mauser cartridge other than it was chambered in Paul Mauser's baby.
I don't hunt and this cartridge breaks my ".25 and under"...
Whither Prop H now? I can almost guarantee that this story will disappear from the local news without a ripple, but it still warms my heart.

My my how times have changed.
I used to get Boys Life when I was (much!) younger; I'm not even sure they still publish it.
Link to more of the same and full size image scans.
This is some great stuff; I love the old school comic book line art.

...it's neat to see the direction some of these went.
"Today on the Worth1000 photoshopping contest: slyly slipping guns into everyday objects, such as platform shoes, game controllers, hair dryers, and (pictured here) a meat-grinder."
Personal fave:
My girl would *totally* wear these.
My girlfriend's dad gave her a rifle for last Christmas (I should have such parents – then again I'm not from Texas and her family is; go figure.) And she loves to shoot but isn't completely familiar with all the basics and various trivia and ephemera that tends to build up in the brain of the...
…I would try and find me a Texas girl.
Bear in mind that this occurs in San Francisco, and I have a CCW…
So last week there is a new girl hired for my department. In the middle of the week, her boyfriend is working late and my wife is out to dinner with her New York people, so we decide to...
Cali coast - load up the rafts and check yer ammo; this is nuts a 7.2 off the Northern Coast of California and we have a real live tsunami warning in effect.
holy crap- this is totally not what I planned for.

Ok I know the seller is just being descriptive, but this is the sort of the thing the antis drool at exploiting... or am I just being overly sensitive?
Saw this over on Auction Arms; "You are bidding on a LNIB S&W 4516-2. The -2 variant of the 4516 was developed to correct the unreliability that plagued the 4516 and -1 variants."
I'm an original owner of a 4516-1 and it's never been anything but a workhorse; only thing I've ever done to it...
Hey guys (and gals) I'm contemplating a career change which will require me to wear a business suit AND soft body armor (probably Level II) in addition to my regular CCW gear.
So my questions is, is there a rule-of-thumb for dress shirts/jackets sizing when wearing a vest? If I wear a 38...
