    NOS Unicorn Colt.

    I posted about this a while ago, and it just came in. Seems this was sitting in the attic of a small lgs somewhere until they shut down and cleared out inventory, then it made its way to me. New and still in the box, Colt DS-II, as it rolled off the factory floor. Very rare 4" barrel. The DS-II...

    Honey hole strikes again with a Colt.

    I finally got the backorder of brass that I've been waiting on so I've been feeling saucy about .32-20's. The more I shoot the .32-20 the more I like it. So when I was at one of my online honey holes clearing a layaway, I took a little time to browse the inventory and I found this for $600...

    Well, Turn the lights off on Wa. State.

    This was signed into law this last week. Just made the rounds and talked with the LGS's. Every single one of them will be either shutting down or is in hiatus with the anticipation of shutting down thanks to Wa.'s new anti gun laws pertaining to FFL's. I can squeak through a few more transfers...

    Turnbull S&W M15-8

    Finally got to see the S&W heritage that I bid on, the auction pictures were washed out and you couldn't see colors or patterns at all. I have yet to see a Turnbull finished gun that I didn't like though. When I got to see this one in person it didn't disappoint.

    Reasons for keeping "safe queens"?

    First off, I get that to many people the term doesn't apply, everything is meant to, and will be shot. There are people who are also very meticulous and can shoot a gun without putting much, if any visible wear on it. But there are those, and im admittedly in this group, who for whatever reason...

    I'm tapped out. But here's what I'd buy if I wasn't.

    Mods, my apologies if this breaks any rules, I have no affiliation with anything I list. I see a lot of things go by that are great deals that I wish I could afford, but alas due to other commitments, cannot. So, I thought it would be fun to start a thread on all the gun deals that I, and...

    Stole a heritage series S&W, show us yours.

    And I am officially tapping out for the month on revolvers. This one makes three and I wasn't planning on getting another one, but I've always wanted one of these and couldn't resist the price. I don't know a whole lot about the Heritage series, other than they were a limited performance center...

    Colt revolver collectors are weird.

    I threw a $1200 bid down on this 5% finish Colt SAA that's loose with a rough bore. I thought that was a darn good bid for what amounts to a parts gun. Nope. Hammered down at $1850. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/17332595 I also put a bid down on this 1924 Colt Officers Model 38 for $550...

    Very strange experience, and a nice S&W.

    Last week I bought a box of pistol boxes, arriving today while I was at work. Also Today I received an email that I unexpectedly won a Hong Kong police/customs S&W M10 for cheap via online auction. Set a $450 bid last week and got the invoice today out of the blue. Nice. So I got home in a...

    Lipstick on a pig.

    I've got a Colt Detective Special that, according to Colt was made in 1980. It identifies as an Agent because at some point someone screwed an Agent barrel on it, but its still a steel frame gun that I'm sure Colt would letter as a Detective Special. As far as it goes its not in bad shape, but...

    Yay or Nay on a NIB 4" Colt DS-II?

    My spying eyes have found this for sale. Unfortunately I know nothing about these, despite owning a Detective special and being a fan. From what I can find, this was the last gasp of the Detective Special, made for only a few years in the late '90's. Most were 2", a few were in 3", and very rare...

    How to spot an online auction scammer

    In the past few days I've seen this jerk scam a few people over on Gunauction.com through 1 or 2 day "buy it now" auctions. At first he was offering stupid prices for guns, then they got wise on some of them. A super grade Winchester M70 went from $400 buy it now to $1150 buy it now for example...

    Shoutout to Crimson Trace

    I bought an SAR9 recently that came with a spare optic cut slide and a cheap, broken crimson trace cts1500 red dot sight. I think these things were about $60 on Amazon. Cheap polymer sight, nothing special. I sent Crimson Trace an email. They asked me to send them pictures of the broken...

    Pre 70 series Colt Government in Nickel. Production numbers?

    I stumbled into what appears to be a very nice, 98%+ factory nickel pre-70 series Colt 1911 Government over the weekend. I'm not what you'd call a 1911 collector, though I've by chance happened into a few nice ones. I'll be getting it lettered as soon as it arrives, and I expect, or at least...

    Is there any way to get a 6.5CM barrel in Wa. state for Ruger SFAR?

    I have an SFAR, just barely managed to get one before H.B. 1240 shut "assault rifle" sales down in Wa. State last year. As I understand it, H.B. grandfathered all pre owned rifles, banned sales of most new semi auto rifles and all "assault rifles", and banned "assault rifle" specific parts. Some...

    Are these 147gr. .308 pulldowns even safe to shoot?

    I bought these for reloading range ammo. I wasn't expecting precision projectiles but I also wasn't expecting these kind of variances. Cannelure looks OK, but the bases are all over the place. I haven't even bothered to weigh them yet, lol. What do you think, OK for 50-100 yard range drills and...

    Filler for dummy rounds?

    Hi all, I have to make up a few dummy rounds, no primer or propellant just a seated bullet in a case. I've got to figure out a cycling problem in a Marlin 1894 .32-20 lever gun I just bought. Given that its going to be run through a tubular magazine probably many times, I figured on top of a...
