    That's freaking IT.. I'm starting a TV show (kinda long)

    So I've been watching the re-runs of American Shooter for years now.. even though I've seen every single one of them, there's not much else in the genre. Week after week of re-runs, and every time I tune in, they're playing the freaking End of Trail episode from 2002. Whoo, look at Holy Terror...

    The future of Beretta, and pistols in general?

    I watched Equilibrium for the umpteenth time today, and got a hankering to put together a 'futuristic' Beretta. Here's my take: Making that got me thinking.. what features do we have today that we don't need, and what don't we have that we DO need? A lot of the features I put on mine are...

    Cowboy rifle ID help

    In watching the History Channel's US Marshal marathon today, I caught a glimpse of a rifle they were using in one of the 'old west' segments. It was a lever gun, longish, I'd say 22"-24" barrel, long wood forearm, and a golden or brass colored rectangular receiver. At first I thought it was...

    PC627: Front sight replaceable?

    I'm seriously looking at one of these babies, but I can't hang with the gold dot on the front sight. Can you just punch that pin and replace it with a regular orange ramp insert?

    Whither the Tavor?

    Still nothing about them on Barrett's site, despite their SHOT presence 2 years ago. Are these things ever going to show up?

    Replacement sights for Ruger autos?

    I recently inherited a Ruger P97. looks like it will be a decent knock-around gun, but I hate that rear sight. I don't want to go so far as to put Mepros on it or anything, but are there any decent rear-sight replacements out there? Something with a little better profile so it won't snag?

    Semiauto shotguns: why?

    I realize that autos are easier to fire in certain situations, like prone, etc., but other that that, why should I choose one over a pump? I like semi shotguns in theory, but I don't see why they're twice as much as pumps. I know a little less than nothing about shotguns, so any advice from...

    FAL newbie.. semi-ignorant questions inside ;)

    In looking at rifles, I've decided that AR's are nice rifles, but a little overly ubiquitous, and a .308 battle rifle may be in the cards. I like the M1A, but the mag price/availability situation leaves me cold. Initially, I was put off by the looks of the FAL, but let's say I've come around...

    Fabarm FP6 owners?

    I was looking at a Benelli Nova, but a few of the features on the FP6 seem a little better suited for me. I'm just curious how these shotguns are holding up, as well as if mag extensions are available for them.

    HK USP-smithing questions

    1) Can a full-size USP hammer be used on a USP Compact if I don't like the bobbed one? 2) How easy/difficult is it to get the parts and make the conversion so the weapon has an ambi safety, yet remains "Variant 1", i.e., Safe/Fire w/ decock. Any insights greatly appreciated.

    Any experience with Birdsong's Black-T?

    Just curious if any of you have experience with the Black-T finish on a handgun.. I'm interested to see how it holds up to wear/cleaning, as well as if it can be applied to stainless steel.

    Help me find this gun!

    I'll admit it, I'm an auto guy, but I saw this picture and fell in love. Problem is, I can't find the gun for sale anywhere! S&W Performance Center 629 Comp, 3", unfluted cylinder. Any help would be appreciated.

    Taurus .44 Spl: Question re: finish

    I was at the local shop yesterday and came across a Taurus .44 Special in a light blue finish.. it looked suprisingly cool, I was wondering if any of their other revos come in that color? Is it some sort of anodizing, or a hard chrome-type finish?
