A couple of replies here that I hadn't seen. I truly appreciate the info. What I did that has worked well so far: I took the grip panels off and VERY lightly used some 00000 steel wool soaked in Hoppe's solvent to remove the rust. I then sprayed the gun with break free CLP and let it set for...

Thanks for all the good info, y'all. Do any of you have any experience with "Metaloy Industries"? They do a hard chrome finish, and I've been considering going that route for my carry, and my Son's 1911.

Hi Y'all My daily carry is a Colt 1991A1 Officer's compact, in a parkerized finish. I use an Uncle Mike's IWB holster, which I like a lot. However, I live in Kansas, and it's HOT here. I wipe the gun down when I take it off, and oil it pretty regularly. I recently noticed a thin line of rust...

Proud of the Guvna' here in Kansas. And, to all who helped make this win happen. Now, if he could do something about this weather....

In the wake of todays horrible events in Boston, officials are going to quickly find that some "gun crazed" member of the NRA orchestrated this attack. In an attempt to show that violence can be had, even without guns. I'm laying odds that this is the work of our very own government. Just...

Excellent and FAST answer. Thank you very much!

Will a Dillon conversion kit for a 550B press work with the 650 press? Thanks in advance.

So far, all the responses here have referred to UPS policies. I appreciate the information greatly. Can anyone tell me about any personal dealings with FedEx policies? There is absolutely NO WAY I can ship handguns at $100+ each. The buyer won't pay that, and I can't either.

I have been put in charge of liquidating my late Father-in-laws extensive gun collection. I've already shipped some black powder pieces through USPS with no issues. The current items to ship are two current handguns and a vintage M1 carbine. I'm shipping these pieces out of state. I'm shipping...

I need to know some in's and out's of how to ship firearms. I know there are three classes of arms Current, C & R "after fifty years old, correct?", and antique, before 1895? PLEASE correct that if I'm wrong. I spoke with UPS corporate office and inquired how to ship the different classes...

Roger that.

However you pronounce it, it's my new favorite cologne. I think I'm going to be a rebel and go with "hops" Because... well... calling it "hoppy's" just feels silly.

"Hoppes" pronounced "hops" or "hoppy's"?? I've always said it "hops" as I went to school with a guy named Hoppes pronounced "Hops" Today I heard it referred to as "Hoppy's" What say you?

Outstanding info, and greatly appreciated.

So Inter Arms DID import the HSc in the 70's? I don't understand why the BB website makes no mention of this. I'm researching current value on over 200 pieces. This is not the first that I've run into very confusing/conflicting info on. I REALLY appreciate all the help, here.

I have a Mauser HSc Inter arms import that I'm trying to find a value on. According to the notes I have on this gun it's a "1972 import" 100% NIB with extra mag and test fire target. According to the Blue Book of gun values website, Inter Arms imports were from "1983 to 1985". Is the 1972...

I'm not in a huge hurry and ebay fees have gotten absolutely stupid. Not to mention PayPal's cut. I've been a seller on ebay for years, mostly music equipment. I can't hardly bring myself to use ebay anymore.

Right. But, I was wondering if there might be another rifle-specific forum outside of THR.

Hi guys I'm pretty new here, and enjoying it a lot. I have an ad in the WTS section for reloading die sets. Thing is, they are almost all rifle dies, some are odd calibers. I'm sure there is probably a rifle-specific forum somewhere that might be a more appropriate venue for my goods. I'm not a...

New guy from Wichita Kansas Hey, Y'all. I'm Skot. I was referred here by one of your members. Looks like an awesome community. I'm here to learn.
