    Braced Pistol stamp Watch Thread

    That question had occurred to me as well. With wildly different estimates of how many braced pistols are out there (somewhere between 3-40 million) it would be interesting to know what percentage of owners decided to go the SBR route. Now that the grace period has closed it should be...

    Wood and Blued Steel 9mm Carbine? - Henry Homesteader

    I saw one today in a local gun shop (Tulsa, OK), price tag $800. Still too expensive to me but not bad considering the ridiculous $1k+ MSRP. It had the proprietary Henry magazine setup.

    ATF Rule 2021R8 goes into effect January 31, 2023

    Where does this "120 days" figure come from? Can anyone provide a link to an official ATF statement that supports this? The second link in the original post goes to the proposed rule, Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached "Stabilizing Braces". Section V is Options For Affected Persons -...

    Stopped at the local pawnshop...

    More than a comparable Model 15 would cost.

    A Gunbroker curiosity- What is it?

    If you are looking for a 1917 for your collection, this is not the one to get. It has zero collector value to a S&W collector and is a shooter only. Any refinish means that the gun has 0% original finish, regardless of how nice it might look now. This gun's starting price is about double its...

    New centerfire Single Six on the horizon!

    I want it in blue with the 9-1/2" barrel, to go with my current .22 and .32 Single Sixes.

    Regarding entering private land.

    Sounds like since you're in Alaska you feel like it's okay to go wherever you want, whenever you want, without let or hinderance. It's all wild and wooly frontier and you're a free man. Fine. Just don't come complaining to us when some landowner decides to dispense frontier justice and you wind...

    Top Shot Returns -New Season

    Did you catch Gunny's comment at the Proving Ground with the M1-A? When the guys asked him where his shot went he said disgustedly, "Down there by Colby's foot!" I too was a little surprised and quite impressed with his performance on the zipline.

    CO Apt. Complex Bans Guns.

    So it would also be perfectly fine to say: No televisions No radios No computers No books No toasters No oscillating fans No underwear Etc. Anything the landlord says, goes, because???

    Top Shot Returns -New Season

    Thanks for the behind-the-scene info Adam. We always wonder about things like that, like when Kyle was having trouble getting his Gatling gun to feed - was it the same one he had practiced with? Would the person he was shooting against (don't remember who it was) have had the same problem if the...

    Top Shot Returns -New Season

    A couple of times the competitors remarked that they couldn't see where their shot struck. Certainly sounded like they had no spotter and there was no indication to the viewing audience that there was.

    How strong is the S&W model 25 in 45 LC?

    Sell the Model 25, buy a Model 29. Problem solved.

    What is this 22 Revolver

    I can beat that - RG even made a .44 Magnum! It was labeled the Model 57, and I accidentally found one on Gunbroker while looking for a S&W Model 57 (.41 Magnum). The seller said he had shot factory rounds through it and while it looks much better made than the usual pot metal RGs, I would stick...

    Confusion at the gun counter

    The Smith &Wesson Model 53 which is chambered for .22 Jet, is marked ".22 Magnum" on the barrel. The Model 48 is marked ".22 WMR".

    UPS driver's advice on shipping firearms

    UPS and FedEx mandate overnight shipping for handguns to ensure a higher level of tracking, and mitigate loss due to theft. Seems to me that since it's primarily their employees that are doing the stealing, that an honorable company would provide the higher level of service at standard cost...

    If there could be only one?

    Wow, I have to completely disagree with you on that one. I feel a DAO pistol is better for an inexperienced shooter than a Walther-type DA pistol due its much simpler operation. With both guns you load a magazine, insert the magazine into the gun and then chamber a round. With the...

    How many have more guns than they can use and why?

    How can anyone justify having such few guns? :)

    Top Shot (Season 4)

    I can't imagine Greg (or any other shooter) would have enough self confidence to risk a chance at $100,000 for the sake of a $2000 gift card.

    Ah, my mistake. I was going off of my (faulty) memory.
