    NIB, 70's Mauser Luger 9mm. Worth collecting?

    I was in a local gun shop today and saw something I have never seen. I don't presume that just because I have never seen it, that it is rare or something. It was an unfired Mauser Luger in pristine condition. The gunshop owner estimates that it was made sometime in the 70's, and called it a...

    Raven .25?

    My Raven was also the first firearm I ever bought. Cost me $50 in 1883. It is also the only gun I have ever owned that "bit" me. Took a chunk of skin off the web of my hand about the fourth time I tok it out.. The slide action is in perfect line to do so with a high grip, and it doesn't take...

    Are those Cobray guns CA-legal?

    They come under the heading "Mac types" and are definitely under the jurisdiction of the AW ban

    Raven .25ACP?

    My beretta .22 is effectively 100% reliable if two methods of operation are observed. 1. I always use hyper velocity ammo. In my case, I use CCI Stingers. 2. A firm grip. "Limp-wristing" will absolutely cause a jam/failure to extract. The gun simply is not capable of cycling reliably...

    Raven .25ACP?

    The Raven .25 ACP was my very first gun over 20 years ago. I learned a very valuable lesson, cheap guns are junk. While reliable to shoot, and reasonably accurate, it has serious deficiencies. First is the safety, both literally and figuratively. Between shots, the safety would tend to fall...

    Anyone have experience with the FN Five seveN?

    I am wondering about the viability of this gun. What does the ammo cost? Twenty rounds of super fast 22 caliber in a safe action intrigues me.

    Thoughts on Armalite

    I think the M-15 is as good as the best of any AR-15's. If the unit you are looking at has the features you want, and the price is better than the RRA, then the choice is simple. Armalite.

    Are Colt's Dark Days Over?

    To me, Colt seems an awful like Harley Davidson. They go through a series of ownership wherein severe damage is done to product, reputation, and service by people who have little knowledge of the industry and the wants of customers. Nor do they care to do so. Colt is a commodity, the company is...

    Here's a question for all you California SKS owners

    Oh, those progressive thinking legislators! Their wisdom is profound. It will probably take a hundred years before we can all learn to appreciate it though. I feel so much safer that grenade launching capable SKS rifles are off the streets. Until they finally passed that law, we were is such...

    Basic Legal question on hi-cap mags

    Whm, Yes, you can. The ban on .50 BMG is extremely specific. In fact, I don't know why they were so darn specific. If someone were to design and produce a "similar cartridge", and chamber a weapon to fire it, it would completely obviate the new law. However, I have noticed that .50 BMG...

    Anyone use "Dupont Teflon Multi-use Lubricant" for guns?

    The stuff in the blue bottle, that flows as a liquid, and sets up dry. I curious if this would serve a s a good lubricant on Stainles Steel gun reciprocating parts, or if a liquid such as CLP would be superior. I realize that this stuff would probably do diddly for corrosion prevention...

    Basic Legal question on hi-cap mags

    Uber, I feel really bad for people in your situation. You had the unfortunate fate to be born a few years too late to enjoy the same freedoms that were "grandfathered" to others. I agree that it is completely wrong that you should have one single less rights than any other law abiding...

    Basic Legal question on hi-cap mags

    According to the California Assault Weapon ban, you cannot transfer any banned assualt weapons instruments to anyone, including kin, even after death. The net effect of the law is that within one generation, all legal Assualt Weapons, in civilian hands, will be out of California, either by...

    Basic Legal question on hi-cap mags

    Uber, you can't just read one sentence of a law, and get the whle story. Oftentimes there are exceptions, ie. for law enforcement, etc. You will find that lending of magzines is perfectly legal within parameters set forth in exception number 22. This law has no less than 30 enumerated...

    Question about a Glock 21

    Is this it? If so; this is a description of the item. "Glock Recoil Buffer The Buffer Technologies Recoil Buffer for the Glock pistol eliminates the metal slide from impacting the polymer frame. This repeated impact batters the frame where the two parts come into contact. Stopping...

    .50 Cal rifles on 60 Minutes this Sunday

    It would blow me away if 60 Minutes actually edited and presented this piece in such a way that Mr Barrett does not look like an industry hack, or a gun nut. When Mr Barrett apeared before the LAPD to offer an opinion, it was done in such a way as to make the gun industry look bad. Do you...

    AR ?'s

    I own a PWA rifle that I built from a stripped lower. The only thing I can tell you about the company is that they are no longer in business, closed up, and quit manufacture as of March 31, 1996. I don't think they had any relationship with OLY, other than that of competitor. Of course, since...

    Do all holster materials wear on the finish of the gun?

    What the industry needs to invent is a clear brush on finish to "paint" on a gun's high spots. This product would be impervious to heat, powder, and cleaning agents, but still be peelable for removal. As well, it would not impact the friction of the gun markedly, for draw feel reasons...

    Does anyone make a .223 pistol

    One of the biggest mistakes the gun industry ever did was to make a .223 pistol, like Oly did. Now the round is classified by the Feds as a pistol round, severely impacting the importability of foreign made ammunition. It really sucks.

    Taurus PT92...Your Opinion on them

    Alright guys. The "cheap" comment was made "tongue in cheek" in response to the "Italian Suave" observation. I have not much anything against the Taurus, except for maybe the lack of magazine interchangability. I mean, if they are gonna copy the the thing, at least they could do that.
