    Pietta .44

    Local dealer has a Pietta in .44 on consignment. Wants $220, but I was told the seller is motivated. I'm assumming all I'll get is the gun, which seems to be in nice condition. I guess the owner probably thinks he'll get an offer of $200 or at least that's what he would settle for, of course...

    Tradgedy in Scranton

    All the facts haven't been released yet, but a local gun dealer in Scranton was killed when a gun he was showing to a customer discharged. It was a .357. The article didn't specify what kind of gun it was, but I would assume it was a revolver due to caliber. He had a line of Taurus' in his case...

    Trading for a "Colt"

    I've been offered a straight trade, a Colt 3rd gen BP for a Yugo SKS. I've got 5 SKS's, but the Yugo is the only one(Yugo) I have. I dearly want a BP pistol and have been jonesing for a ROA. My problem is that I keep hearing that the 3rd gen is not a true Colt(Conn. made). I don't want a Colt...

    Recession?

    Went to my local Gander Mtn today to be amazed at the prices. Son of a gun, worked again. Any way, I noticed a lot more old Winchesters on the rack. More than I've seen before. Also thought I recognized a couple that had been there a while. I'm thinking either, 1) there was a lot of old shooters...

    Like your S&W 500 mag?

    Trying to find out who ever got a S&W 500 only to find out you don't like it. I would like to keep this to those who have shot it with any degree of regularity. Trying to exclude those who shot 5 rnds and threw it back to the dealer because it was a little too much to handle, but fair being fair...

    worth more?

    Just a hypothetical question. We all hate that lock on the newer Smith's. No doubt. What would happen if Smith decided that they heard enough and dropped the lock for an external whatever? Would the "lock" guns go up in value because of the limited years of production. I read somewhere that...

    Re-Blued 1905 S&W

    Picked up a Russian SKS thru my gun dealer. Of course looked at the counter for handguns. Seen a Mod 1905. Not the right grips. Nice wood, but not close buy any means. I have something to hunt for. The blue has been re done. I'm not a pro, but I could see the refinish. Probably paid too...

    Eddie Albert a real hero

    Today we lost another great one. Eddie Albert. A good actor and a great veteran. I don't know the exact story, hopefully someone else does, but he was a captain of his own boat in WWII. He faced hostile fire to retreive stranded GI's ala John Kerry, only difference is that his story was real...

    Gaucho Knife

    I have this knife. Labeled juca? Industria Agentina. Case and handle in silver with gold inlay. Seems to be real fancy. Is this a "dress" knife. Like the fancy saddles and such of american cowboys. I assume it has value because of the metals involved. Not really interested in money value as much...

    Safe Deposit Boxes

    Just reading through the forums this morn and seen more references of people having weapons in safe deposit boxes. I would never do this. It may be a fine safe place to keep weapons temporarily, but I stress temporarily. Even if you intend to keep them there forever, it's still only temp. Why...
