    Hope this is the correct forum for my question and apologies if not. I apologize for tbe long rambling post but two years of cabin fever leaves me with a lot to say and the wife has heard it all. I started home gunsmithing in the mid 1970's starting with simple projects and simple tools for...

    Springfield SAR 4800 conundrum

    I first tried the DSA "made in USA" stock supplied in the kit with the five required US made parts to make it all happy for the BATF man I purchased a few years back and it did not fit. Trying to compare it with their current offerings on their website what was sent appears to be the metric...

    Springfield SAR 4800 conundrum

    Before the flames begin I spent most of this morning googling my question along with live phone calls to DSA and Springfield. A decade or more ago I purchased a NIB Springfield SAR 4800 NIB for a very fair price. Several years later I purchased a supposed DSA USA parts kit to legally add a real...

    The One and ONLY

    39 years ago at the age of 12 my Dad gave me a v.w. bug for riding around the farm and a 22lr Ruger Mk1 Standard as my first handgun. He said if I mess up with either they both would go away. At 15 I purchased my first centerfire handgun with my own money. A 4" barrel Smith model 19 Combat...

    Where to get lead ?

    Linotype letters from old type setting presses are now worth ten times scrap value or more to right persons. Typesetting and printing on old machines is becoming an "art" and these craft types that are doing it will pay much more for linotype letters for typesetting than goes for as scrap...

    Buying a rifle. Question about best form of payment for my security?

    You rolled the dice already. See it through. I will bet it is all fine. If it is crossing state lines an FFL is required. Burn some gas or frequent flyer miles and go get. Unless your cousin or brother in law is closer. Face to face is only way I do gun transactions.

    Is Alabama Really This Crazy?

    As from a FEMA volunteer relief worker at Katrina, Gustov, Haiti, West Virginia, and others, New Orleans was a different event. Most places we go people are happy to see our crews roll in. In the Big Easy the roving gangs were shooting at us. A under wraps shoot to kill order was unofficial...

    My Child and my uncle's unsafe gun storage

    Takes me an hour to teach a child to not handle firearms when a gun is present. First is let them see it and ask to pick it up. Make sure it is unloaded and tell them they can but have to hold on to it till you say they can set it down. A gun is heavy to a small kid. Once he has it wait till...
