I was just wondering if a Rock Island Armory 1911 is a "real" 1911. By this I mean, are parts interchangeable with other 1911's? Is it possible to buy beavertails, hammers, and magazines from reputable manufacturers like Wilson and they fit the Rock Island? I really like the looks of 1911...
Hello all. A neighbor offered to sell me his Chinese Type 54 today for $100 and I was just wondering if this would be a good deal. It is in pretty bad shape externally. It has no rusting or pitting, the bluing is just deteriorated badly. It is dated 1966 and is chambered for the 7.62x25...
Hello everyone. I just procured an early model (1956) Colt Huntsman (Serial Number 98XXX) and I was just wondering the value of it. I plan on selling it on a local personal gun sales website and I don't want to cheat someone/be cheated on this sale. The gun still has original bluing. The...
Hello all. I was just wondering if anyone knew if any company makes high capacity magazines for the Savage Mark II bolt action rifles. I was just given one for free and it came with a 10 round box magazine, but I would like to be able to shoot longer than that between reloads. I know countless...
From what I've read, the majority of issues pertaining to reliability with the 3" 1911 pistols has to do with the magazine in use. It seems as though the most suggested brand of magazine is the Wilson Combat magazine. And DeepSouth, I messed up in the title and description of the Springfield...
I looked at the Kahr, but it just isn't a good looking gun to me. It looks awkward because of the short slide and long handle. I know that reliability is the most important thing to take into account when choosing a CCW, but I also want a good looking gun. The Glock isn't exactly good looking...
Hello everyone. I was just looking for opinions on the subject of which CCW I should get next. I REALLY like the looks of 1911 style pistols, especially the 3" barrel models. I've heard some not so great things about their reliability though. So my question is which would be a better CCW gun?
Hi everyone. I was just looking for a bit of help today. I just purchased a Smith and Wesson Model 14-4 on the cheap and I was just wondering what the true value of this gun would be. I know it depends on the condition of the gun and other variables, but I am just looking for a neighborhood...
I just wanted to let everyone know about a great website to buy and sell new and used guns in the Tennessee / Kentucky area. It is www.gunownersclub.com . It is free to sign up and you get 10 free postings. I have been using this site for a couple of years and have bought/sold/traded several...
I was just wondering how much one would expect to spend on average for one of these. There is a shop in my area that just got a large quantity of these and they are selling them for $250 each. They were retired from a money carrier business and replaced by semi autos. They all have varying...
Oh man, eldon! That's exactly my idea. That's awesome! I'll have to check those out. I don't think I would buy one because I'm learning gunsmithing myself and I think it would be a lot more fun to make one myself, but nevertheless that is a great find. My THR membership is off to a great...
Just so everyone knows what I am talking about, I made a picture in paint representing my idea. I know, I know it's horrible and I should be banned from picture editing for all eternity, but you get the general idea. Lemme know what you think.
Thanks for the info eldon. I have seen lots of .22 LR revolvers available in my area. Taking into consideration the peppering from the expansion of gas, I would probably hold such a gun just like I would hold a normal pistol (stabilization hand making a cup that the firing hand is resting in)...
Hello all. I have been reading on THR forums for a long time, but I am a new member. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a modern revolving carbine. I have seen muzzleloader revolving carbines and I've also seen the Uberti 1873, but I am more interested in a .22 LR caliber model. Does...
