    Colt Trooper MkIII: Yea or Nay?

    I brokered a deal on one for my dad. He's killed quite a few close range deer with it and Good knows how many squirrels died of head trauma. His is actually quite well made, decently finished, and dealt accurate with both .38 special and .357 magnum loads. I took it to a local PPC match done...

    What's the oldest gun you own ?

    My Grandpa left me a Moore and Co. 12 guage side by side. Unfortunately, my dad and uncles turned it into a wall hanger by shooting modern ammo through the damascus barrels. He bought it used so i have no idea how old, or any history of the gun or company. On my list of things to do though.

    I have a SA 1911 I bought in 1988 (I think. Was when they brought out the first "enhanced" 1911, and I got it from a local gunsmith that had a parkerized one that noone was interested in.) I shot HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of rounds out of it and they were all warm cuz thats the way she liked em...

    Savage 340: Does anyone still love them?

    I bought a 340 from my Grandpa's best friend in 1978 for $50.00. It has the side mounted scope base (which does NOT interfere with the bolt handle as long as you use a 1" tube fixed power scope with no oversize eyepiece) as well as the dockendorff wheel elevator rear sight. I've killed quite...
