    Century Arms Incomplete or U Fix Em

    Tools I'm squared away on. Parts are certainly a factor, that's what led me to ask. I agree most of what I've seen is priced such that you'd easily have a retail price invested if anything serious were wrong. However, I've noticed a few lately that are priced about 300$ below retail. If unwind...

    I'm a little surprised, no one has tried this?

    Century Arms Incomplete or U Fix Em

    If this thread has been done I couldn't find it. First I am aware of the issues with Century contracted builds, lack of C.O.S, and other issues. I'm not asking anyone to rehash that info. What I'd really like to hear about are any tales of woe or triumph with guns they sell as odd lots that are...

    I'm tired of gun shows...

    No one has mentioned my favorite part, the parking lot. I never went in the last show I was at. I hung a sign around my neck and got my asking price for the two pistols I was selling before I got to the building. Then bought a S&W from a guy in line. The line was looking like it was going to...

    Any experience with Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore?

    Update, picked up my new S&W Model 10s. Two were -8s firing pin on the hammer, 2 were -11s 1 with rollmarks the other with laser etched markings, 1 was -14 with internal lock. all were in very good shape for police turn ins. However, the company's communication skills left a lot to be desired...

    Yup, grabbed a couple of close ups and I'm pretty convinced you're right. What do you think? Too much gap in there?

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    That's basically what I was thinking. Have you got one that works that you could get a measure of? I was also wondering if the ejectors are typically straight across the top? Mine has a distinct bevel. Sent from my PB99400 using Tapatalk 2

    What are good "cheap" surplus or used revolvers to keep an eye out for?

    You'd never have seen that 586 if I'd seen it first. Great buy. Sent from my PB99400 using Tapatalk 2

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    I saw several like this on the net. They all looked a lot like this one. Well I did my usual thing and ignored all warnings and pulled the extractor out. No issues with and not very dirty. Cleaned it up and put it back. Both it and the ejector look fine. I'm at a loss at why I'm not getting...

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    Thanks, I'm learning more all the time. Since my buddy gave it to me, I took it back apart and gave it the, "now its my safe and not my buddy's" q-tip and microfiber cleaning job. Really worked out well except. I've been reading that it is a terrible idea to remove the extractor on these. I...

    NRA, and wasted membership dues

    I'm fortunate that my extended family has more land than they can hunt themselves. Over the years several family friends have been invited to hunt... As long as you show Uncle Bob your NRA membership on your way to the stand. There is no patience here for those that don't contribute to this...

    Do you know of a link with that marking? I've looked around and didn't find that one. I did find the second mark on the bolt base is Armaguerra Cremona manufacture (http://www.il91.it/il91.html). Apparently the "Q" prefix to the serial number indicates the same maker. I found about a dozen...

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    Thanks man, dirty or corroded weapons bug me. It's fun to bring them back from the brink when they've been neglected. In other news I went to give the guy his rifle back and told him he owed me $15 in supplies. Instead he asked if I could do the same treatment on his Dad's old shotgun. I told...

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    Well, 5 hours and $15 dollars of supplies later we have a valid $75 dollar rifle. I think it cleaned up pretty good. I was a little surprised. I know these rifles aren't generally well thought of but it seems well built. The only big hitch was the detent that holds the nut on the back of the...

    Carcano Identification Assistance

    I'm particularly meticulous about clean firearms. As a result my buddies often bring me rifles to tear down and scrub for them. A coworker asked if I'd clean up his, "Old WWII Jap rifle." I agreed and he brought it to me today. I know enough to know it isn't a 6.5 Japanese, it is a 6.5...

    Cross eye dominance, help a guy out

    I'm continuing in the exact same quest friend. I've recently noticed that optics make a huge difference for me. With my lower end optics I can't leave my dominant eye open while sighting with my weak eye and strong hand, with my nicer (redfield) scopes I can shoot with both eyes open from...
