    Trade value

    You hear it a lot "trade value", but what is that really and how is it measured to YOU? 650 cash and 750 trade....why can't there just be a straight up price and nobody would have to worry about numerous "values"

    Local gun store, How much is too much?

    Ok here comes the rant. I attend a local gun store because it is…the closest local gun store to me. This is not your normal gun store, and it is very large and well known. They have the best prices of anywhere around and an excellent police supply section HOWEVER…..I have gotten really...

    Best hunting rifle? (In your experience and opinion)

    Not high end, and nothing special. It doesn't have to be expensive or crazy expensive for an heirloom to me. The Mac is a perfect example, blue steel and wood grain, these days even those are a rare commodity I would just like it to be accurate

    Railed 1911...Which would you pick?...and why?

    Fish, The scuffs didnt make it prone to rust. With the one I owned rust spots were constant under the grips. I dont know what the deal was but it was really bad for rust. I know it was stainless but that didnt mean stain proof I guess

    Railed 1911...Which would you pick?...and why?

    I owned a Colt rail gun. Edges were too sharp, finish got marked up easily and made it very prone to rust (stainless version) That is all I got very nice gun though and very accurate. I chose the springfield because it was slightly more rounded and coated which made rust less likely, and just...

    Just my latest experience.....

    Finally got through to S&W AND they said that their performance shop was currently a little behind and that it would take at least two months to get an estimate sent to me for the repairs. I told them to just send it back and I would have it done locally. They said they would send a message up...

    King Cobra...who will buy one?

    Not this guy But I hope what you say is true because many others will and that means stock liquidation. THAT means guns I would much rather own like most 629s (short barrels etc) and most large caliber Rugers etc. will hit the market and overstock of inventories means lower prices etc etc...

    Damaged Brass buttplate HELP!!

    Carpet was ruined which makes me happy. Payback for messing up my brass! I rent so I dont care. I think I like the "aged" look a little. No big deal or me I just didn't want it to have unreparable damage. Thanks for all the input though! Flitz and a brass brush has stopped the corrosion and...
