    In for results. Great job so far, an ultralight 9mm carbine would be awesome.

    Marlin 336A .35 Rem, made in 1951 thoughts

    That seems like a good price for a pre-Remington Marlin. A guy out here in the Sacramento area has the same gun for sale.....he has been asking $500 for it and getting no bites. I am waiting for him to drop his price and then I may buy it. .35 Rem is an underappreciated caliber.....Hornady...

    steel gong splatter

    I have been hit on the lense of my safety glasses several times with spatter - also got a few tiny cuts on my face and a couple on my arms. This is why we wear eye protection. Also, if you use 2x4s for your target stands, the spatter will stick into the wood. It is a good idea to wear gloves...

    Who are your favorite Youtube gun reviewers?

    I will second this. I can't watch Nutnfancy videos anymore due to the rambling.

    Awesome high-res photo of a Washington DC sporting goods shop front window in 1922.

    Great pics. Love the "get the boy something he wants" banner.

    Who are your favorite Youtube gun reviewers?

    I like InRange TV lately.....their forensic examinations of Old West gun fights (often on the actual spot it occurred) are great. Another recent favorite is MachinegunMike. He is about my age, obviously wealthy or well connected but not snobbish about it. After watching his videos, I feel...

    Savage 99 question

    The few 250-3000 99s I have seen lately have had barrels that were basically shot out. Most of the ones I see are listed for $800 or above, but generally sit for a LONG time without selling.

    Missoula Passes Private Sale Background Checks

    This may get shut down by the state Attorney General: http://missoulian.com/news/local/montana-house-speaker-seeks-ag-opinion-on-missoula-s-gun/article_77372767-b7e6-5ee6-b33a-53c18cf76fbc.html

    I am interested in this, my wife and I plan on moving to Montana in 2 or 3 years.

    I am evil...

    This is my thought as well. "Taking advantage" would have been paying $200 for a $1500 WWI vintage M1911 to a little old lady who didn't know any better. Paying $175 for a used Mossy 500 is not too far off the mark. And even so.....nowadays.....it takes 15 minutes for a seller to Google...

    Should I buy it? Inland M1A1 paratrooper.

    The "serial #s matching" would have me suspicious right away. M1 carbines only have the serial number stamped on the receiver and nowhere else.

    I am evil...

    I don't think what the OP did was unethical (apparently not legal in NC though). Businesses have lots of competitors, including individuals. Offer a better price than your competitors or lose the deal - that's how markets work. Individuals are able (for now at least) to buy items from other...

    Would appreciate your opinions on this FN Hi Power ( NE )

    Oh......and one more thought. I bought my pistols from CDI thinking that they would be a little beat up. TURNS OUT....Coles is a terrible photographer and the guns showed up looking WAY prettier than they did in the Gunbroker photos. Just something to consider. He graded them excellent, the...

    Would appreciate your opinions on this FN Hi Power ( NE )

    cdisales is a good seller, I bought 2 Mkiii Hi Powers from him a couple years back, they are both Excellent (refurbished) Israeli surplus. I agree with others that you should be able to find one in signifigantly better condition from cdi. Send him an email through Gunbroker and tell him what...

    Did somebody say fireball?

    Here I am shooting an M44 at dusk. Enjoy! Edit: might be an M38....it was awhile ago and not my rifle.

    S&W's Lost Second Gen

    I have a first gen 59 and two third gen guns.....can't seem to hit on a 2nd gen yet. I have a feeling that these series of S&W autos will be collectors items one of these decades, so I look for good deals when I can find them. It also helps that they tend to be really good shooters......I keep...

    Just how dangerous are Timber Rattlers?

    I have run into several timber rattlers...only one was large. The large one was curled up on a log in the sun, right where the beach meets the woods somewhere along the Lost Coast here in CA. You could walk right up to him with no response whatsoever. That snake was drunk on sunshine and way...

    When changing clips, should I have to slightly rotate my hand to eject clip?

    I have small hands and shoot a CZ 75 SA in IDPA. I have the same issue.....with practice, I can loosen my grip, rotate my wrist and smash the mag release before I can get the new mag up to the well. The thing that takes the most time is retrieving the new mag and bringing it up into position...

    Anyone else love the smell of Hoppe's #9

    Hops Hop-eez is what the old men call it and it sounds funny.... Grammatically, it is pronounced "Hops" unless it is named after somebody's name, which can be pronounced all sorts of odd ways.
