Anyone with experience with both? I'm thinking evil thoughts about my likely tax return next month and getting my Spike Speigel vibe on :evil:

So, I have my nice CRKT M21 but it can be a bit "big" at times. I also have a CRKT Turtle which is cute, makes a great money clip but is just a bit too small and a bit of pain to use as a folder. So I wanted somthing fixed and in between... Enter the Minimalist Tanto - Designed by Alan Folts...

I just recently picked up a 1945 Inland carbine and intend to start using it. Until I can get dies & components, I intend to shoot some factory ammo to build up brass for reloading the fun way. What's the best brass cased ammo out there right now? I'm mostly looking at Prvi Partisan (both FMJ...

I know of the Revolver picture thread & have participated in it. So where is the 1911 picture thread? I may have missed it and, if so, perhaps a mod will simply move this into it but if not... Let's start one! My RIA Full Size Tactical in .45:

Last spring I found online a silly cheap Model 10 that had seen better days. While thinking about how I would work with this revolver, I stripped it and cleaned it thoroughly and picked up a T-Grip for it. It had also been converted to DAO. Since I would have had to...

So I ordered a Rock Island Full Size Tactical 1911 in .45 ACP (http://us.armscor.com/products/tac-1911-fs-45acp) and a couple of Mec-Gar mags for it. I should be able to get to the range after work on Thursday. The last 1911A1's I used were worn out POS in the 1980s US Army and have been...

I had stopped by the local pawn shop a week or two ago and noted several Savage 111´s in .30-06 and decided to get one. But when I left there, I didn´t have a Savage, I had this instead: Remington 700 ADL in .30-06 (blind mag well, but wood stock, iron sights & factory drilled &...

I am considering getting a Saiga IZ 132R later this summer. I do not want to do a full conversion as I actually like the sporter style configuration. Just add a bullet guide for regular 7.62x39 mags. That said, the trigger is supposed to be the weak spot of the rifle's redesign. Is there any...

I'm thinking strongly about getting a .22 Hornet rifle by the end of summer as my 50th birthday present to myself. I'll have a very small budget to work with. $500 would be very high for me though I do have a Weaver K4 for the optics side of it. Cheapest is the Handi-Rifle. Pluses...

Been reading "Bolt Action Rifles" by de Haas - always a dangerous thing ;) As a result, I'm getting the urge to look for a shooter Krag. Preferably one that was sporterized a long time ago (though with the possibility of restoration) and still in .30-40. The budget will be fairly slim though...

Back in the late 1930's, the police pistol market in German was owned by Walther between the PP & the PPK. Mauser wanted in on the market but to do so would require a pistol that was better than the Walther. In my opinion, they succeeded and, but for WWII, would have made a far bigger dent in...

Picked up a Japanese Type 99 short rifle the other day. The sporterization was limited to putting it into a western civilian stock with no modifications to the rifle metal. The Imperial Chrysanthemum has been ground off and the bolt serials do not match the rifle. The dust cover and monopod are...

The Hitler gun control lie Gun rights activists who cite the dictator as a reason against gun control have their history dangerously wrong BY ALEX SEITZ-WALD "This week, people were shocked when the Drudge Report posted a giant picture of Hitler over a headline speculating that the White...

Guy on another forum pointed these two ended auctions out to me: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=319416569 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=319428510 as he saw both still in the sellers brick & mortar store. I'm not a Colt fan but I know that...

How many here can remember the "Kmart blue light specials"? :cool: New to me 625-9, .45 Colt & I can't wait to get to the range.

I have a 1942 Mauser HSc that was badly nickeled at some point after the war. The nickel is bubbling & peeling in lots of places and just looks flat out ugly. I use this a my EDC so I'd like to get the nickel stripped and the pistol refinished. My initial preference is parkerized because it's...

Put a 625-9 .45 Colt Mountain Gun on layaway today. I've got some 250 & 240 grain Keith type LSWC & Unique. Anyone got a favorite recipe for this pistol? Thanks!

Was at a local shop and saw a nice older field grade LC Smith 30" barrels in 12 Gauge. In really nice condition overall & locks up tight, but had been reblued in the not too distant past. Stock fit acceptably, wood is average. It's on consignment for $695. I hesitate because of the refinishing...

Some of you may recall that last winter, I picked up a shooter C96 Bolo. All matching but pretty rough condition and a totally shot out barrel. Fast forward to 7 months later, I've scrounged the coin, sent the firearm out and today received back my C96. Rather a different looking...

Discovered a gun shop about a mile from my house and found out he does layaway. Back right before my recent move, I had to sell my Glock 19. I've been pondering what to do about a 9mm since. He's got a P11 in stock for $250 (+tax & background check that'll be $278 OTD) I'm thinking very...
