    What is a Nitron finish?

    @bobson Dunno, any idea on the sig warranty? I'm not the original owner, nor was the person who sold it to the store @johnBT Thanks for the ionbond suggestion, I guess I'll send it to them if Sig doesn't do a free refinishing/warranty is bust, do you know the turnaround time for Springer Precision?

    What is a Nitron finish?

    Just picked up a used Sig p229 in .357 sig. It looks like its seen some hard use, and the condition/finish of the slide looks similar to AK battlefield pickups However, other than that splotch on the grip, the finish on the frame and internals look pristine, leading me to believe that its...

    Are Okie headspace gauges trustworthy?

    Hey, I was headspacing a just bought Mosin nagant. Now, I have a bolt without an extractor, and a 'new' one WITH an extractor from buymilsurp. (don't ask why...) I headspaced the mosin with the extractorless bolt with this type of gauge that I bought off of eBay: The bolt closed easily on...

    Makarov Keyholing?

    So I bought an IJ-70 (my first Makarov) the other day for 150$, and wanted to test it out. Cursory field stripping indicated a very strong rifling, with clear cut grooves. However, when I fired S&B 95gr ammo that came with the pistol, the bullets were keyholing all over the place. Switching to...

    FFL required for refinishing?

    I was thinking of getting my pistol (cz75b) hardchromed, and am still looking for companies that would do the job (suggestions would be appreciated!) I know that if they have an FFL, I can ship the pistol directly to them. However, do I need to find an FFL to do the transfer to get it back?

    Sig P250 questions and opinions wanted

    Hey, so I'm looking at the Sig p250, and was shocked at the price. However, I heard that it went through some tough teething issues when it was introduced. I wanted to know a few things: 1) How is reliability and accuracy now? (are the issues worked out?) 2) Is the frame fire control unit the...

    EAA Witness .45 Slide stop walking out

    I recently bought an EAA witness in .45 ACP I went to the range and fired a few magazines. However, what I noticed was that the slide stop would walk its way out of the frame about 1/8". This wouldn't regularly interfere with slide lockup or firearm operation, and it did lock after the last...

    A bag by any other name...still can hold a gun

    They only stopped (as in talked) me, and yeah, I let them search my bag/my person as I had nothing to hide: if they wanted to smell my gym clothes then so be it. At the time I thought it was better than poking the bear. When they saw I had nothing, they tried to play the tough guy and gave me a...

    A bag by any other name...still can hold a gun

    If you want the kicker, I live in Arlington VA, they probably thought I was another Beltway Sniper or something... but w.e. I don't need a bag to let me CCW, thats what crossbreed holsters are for

    A bag by any other name...still can hold a gun

    Funny thing that happened to me a few days ago: So I got a 5.11 select carry bag as a gift a few months ago and was riding with the thing, hydration pack installed and all, and got stopped by the police. They told me I was under suspicion of possessing a firearm when I wasn't even carrying...
