    Steel Meets Polymer - What Happens When The Plastic Wears Out ?

    Ruger P95 I had concerns about the wear of the frame rails of a Ruger P95, so I asked Ruger Customer Service. I asked these questions: 1) Is there any metal reinforcement at all in the polymer frame? 2) If not, what is the "wear life" of the polymer slide rails? 3) What do the terms...

    CZ 75C Parts For Sale (TX)

    Sold my CZ75C and have some "enhancement parts" left over for sale in Texas. 1) Mec-Gar 15-round magazine. I think this is a full size mag which has a CZ branded pinkie-rest plastic floor plate with high shoulders so it will "fit" a compact model. Used very little. 2) Bedair stainless...

    SA XD grip plug?

    "Is there a reason for needing this?" Other than "cosmetic appearance", I don't know of any. Maybe the question should be: Why is the hole there in the first place?:scrutiny: ------------------------------------------------------------------ "This oughtta do it..." Does Hubba...

    SA XD grip plug?

    A couple of companies make a "grip plug" for Glocks that plugs the hole in the grip at the rear of the magazine. Is there something similar for the SA XD?

    Shipping a handgun to someone else intrastate?

    Not trying to start an argument, but unless the BATF regulations have recently changed, my understanding is that you can ship directly to an intra-state purchaser via common carrier (FedEx, UPS, etc.) as long as there is no state prohibition against it and the purchaser is not prohibited from...

    Winchester 70 Question

    I want a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06, and am looking at two options - an unfired ANIB 1980's production XTR Featherweight ($555), and a NIB current production Featherweight ($670). I don't hunt, so the gun is for occasional plinking and target shooting out to 200 yards. I've done a little...

    Remington 700 ADL vs. BDL

    Can someone explain the major differences between the Remington 700 ADL and the BDL? Remington has apparently discontinued the ADL version and now offers only the BDL. I found a NOS ADL at a decent price, but don't know if I should pass in favor of the higher priced current BDL version...

    Talk me out of a Ruger Vaquero...

    I won't try to talk you out of it because I couldn't talk myself out of it. I bought a new New Model Vaquero (blued with CC frame, 4-5/8", .45 Colt) a couple of months ago on a whim. It's the only "cowboy" gun I have. I added the rosewood checkered grips (from the Ruger store). Aside from...

    Ruger New Vaquero Case Color Finish

    I found NIB New Vaquero with the fake case color frame that I'm thinking about buying. I have read several accounts of the fake case coloring wearing off of this gun, and I notice that Ruger no longer offers this finish. Just how undurable is this finish? Does it wear/fade easily and...

    Look what I just bought.

    Congrats - Good Snag I've been watching that gun on GB for several months waiting for the price to come down. It didn't and I missed out. Maybe I can find one equally as nice to add to complete my set of 10-5s.
