    Browning Hi-Power has gone out of production...The passing of a firearms Icon

    On your second pic, on the lower left dust cover area, the guns I saw were marked Novaks (not the logo) and their address. I know what an import mark looks like versus a makers mark. The GA pic (add states a 2005 pistol build) was the best I could find minus the Novak Parkersburg, WV. import...

    Browning Hi-Power has gone out of production...The passing of a firearms Icon

    I don't have any current pics ( I'll try and get some) but here is what I have seen on recent builds from Novaks. They even have the serial number moved from the front strap to right side of the frame so the front strap can be stippled...

    What mods do you do to your Glock?

    Steel sights or Nite-Sites. Polish key points to give a smoother trigger pull. I prefer the extended slide stop/release. On the mini Glocks 26/27 I run Pearce mag base plate finger extensions. On my Glock 20SF I use a Pearce grip frame insert with a sling stud screwed in, to attach a lanyard to...

    Browning Hi-Power has gone out of production...The passing of a firearms Icon

    Does anybody know for sure that FNH has stopped making P-35s? I know Browning (BACO) has stopped buying and selling them, they never made them. The reason I ask is I know several people who have purchased custom BHPs from Novaks Inc since Browning announced they were stopping the sale of BHPs...

    Is a 4 year old 870 Police(not magum) worth $400 used?

    Wingmasters and 870Ps ARE better built and do HAVE better components than the Express Model. WM and 870P overall are basically the same same gun, the 870P has changed over the years so what it has or doesn't have is dependent on when it was made (this is important). Wingmasters and Police...

    Illinois legal to carry pepper spray and pocket knives...

    Depends on which Sheriffs Office you call, most of them wont know. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, fahghettaboutit. CPD.....giggle. Study the ILCS 720 5/24.1, many officers simply do not know the law, its just a fact of life. If you get jammed up you have to sort it out in court which is...

    What a Difference Pellet Choice Can Make (Advice For New Airgunners)

    Air powered guns are no different than their powder burning relatives. Run crappy ammo through your powder burner and you get poor performance. Same thing with air powder guns, crappy pellets result in poor accuracy and downrange ballistics. Air powdered guns are like 22rf, they can be a little...

    Why did Springfield Armory hi-jack the Springfield name?

    To capitalize on the history and reputation of the THE REAL US Govt. Arsenal that closed in 1968. ArmaLite (Eagle Arms) did the exact same thing by capitalizing on the history of the real ArmaLite (Costa Mesa California) achievements.

    .22 short and .25 ACP smaller pocket guns?

    I have always liked true pocket guns. I still like my Astra Cub in 22 short and my Beretta Jetfire 25acp (950BS). A hideout gun (Onion Field Insurance) may be a nice thing to have;)

    SARCO 1911 Barrel?

    M-14, the Roto-Forged (?) barrels that Sarco has sold for years are garbage :barf:, they are on the soft side and dimensionally....meh. If you want a decent barrel but don't want to spend the money on a Kart, Bar-Sto, etc try RemSport. Watch their Deal of the Day specials. Ok, I'm updating my...

    I use the plain old RCBS set, works well. Yes, the the H&R AAC gun is a nice light handy hunting gun if you like single shots and the 300BLK, I like mine!! (needs a trigger job out of the box).

    In some of the early westerns they used special chalk rounds fired by skilled "shootists" to simulate bullet impacts.
