    Moving to San Francisco

    What can I bring and what has to stay? I own a 6 shot 357 revolver, full size M&P 40, 870 Police (holds 5 rounds), and a PSA AR 16". I know there is a ban on any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. I know there is a ban on some "assault rifles" by name. Would I be able to put a bullet...

    Charter Arms Bulldog... RUFF!

    I've had some intrest in these recently as a smaller carry revolver. Handled one at the gun store and boy was it rough! Lock up was good but not like a vault. The trigger seemed decent. The ejector was super gritty along with the cylinder release latch. The cylinder snapped back into the frame...

    PPU Brass - good or bad

    223 PPU cases hang up in my LEE shell holder and I have to fiddle with it to get it out. Other than than that its as good as any other brass.

    Frustrated With Gunbroker Purchase

    I hope I did not come off as griping about the seller. I was confused at what had happen and was asking if anyone else had been in the situation. I feel as though as I've gotten some good information from others experiences and know what to look for in the future on Gunbroker.

    Does anyone have one that I can borrow? I will pay shipping both ways.

    Frustrated With Gunbroker Purchase

    UPDATE: Emailed the seller. Like jmorris, he had no idea anything was wrong. The gunsmith had the pistol to repaint and was to fix the plunger tube at that same time. The seller hadn't noticed. My guess is the smith also messed up the thumb safety when the polished the internals. The seller is...

    Frustrated With Gunbroker Purchase

    Swing - inspection period says unspecified. I think it's done on an individual basis. Not through gunbroker.

    Frustrated With Gunbroker Purchase

    Paid with a USPS money order sent certified mail. Seller is an individual, not an FFL. Disconentor is in the correct way. I sent him an email explaining the problems. I just asked what could we do to remedy the problems. Worst comes to worse I'll put the pistol back up for sale.

    Frustrated With Gunbroker Purchase

    So recently for my birthday and early graduation gift to myself I picked up an ugly looking Springfield GI model on gunbroker for 425$. It had been painted with a cerakote finish and had some nicks and scratches but that didn't bother me. Upon inspection, the gun looks a little more rough than...

    Springfield 1911 ID

    I'll call springfield tomorrow. The seller stated that he had painted it. There's tons of small nicks exposing bright metal below. I bought it thinking I would re parkerize it but I don't think someone would paint a gun black if it already is black. I can't see sandblasting the whole frame then...

    Springfield 1911 ID

    Is there any markings on a Springfield Armory (the new company) that would denote wether or not it is stainless or not? I recently received a GI model from gunbroker. It's painted and I was thinking it was carbon but now I'm thinking its stainless. Is there any way to tell the difference?

    What ever happened to Xavier Thoughts?

    I really enjoyed his pawn shopping and deal finding. His 1911 and S&W revolver stuff was good and I enjoyed his style of writing. Somehow I stumbled on his blog in 2007 when I was researching 1911s. It was his blog that got me into firearms, especially the 1911. Did he just get tired of it...

    Lee Classic Turret Press owners?

    Other... If everything is dialed in then I index. If I'm batch loading like a single stage then I don't. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't.

    357 mag, Titegroup, Primers

    I've loaded 357 with 158gr lswc, titegroup, and standard primers. It works. I didn't like the leading it left behind. I think the bullets I had were too hard for the velocity because they don't lead using 2400. Also sometimes titegroup and lead don't play well together.

    Ahrends Tactical vs Tyler T Grip / Magna

    Anyone own both? I'm looking to switch up the rubber grip on my k frame. I would use the t grip with a set of checkered magna style grips. If anyone has some pics of then side by side and from the back that would be great.

    Shot My M&P 40 Today

    Yep I was aiming at the top and I had to laugh when I pulled that one wayyyyy down there. I've done some dry firing with the pistol and the trigger doesn't seem heavy. Especially compared to a double action pull on a revolver. Thanks guys for the pointers. I'm going to get some more trigger time...

    Shot My M&P 40 Today

    It's one of the police trade ins that have been floating around lately. Also shot my 4" Model 19 . I had a real tough time shooting the 40 vs the 357. Could also be because I ran double the number of rounds through the revolver. Trigger really feels different. I had a 12" pattern at about 5...

    Uh-oh, Now I Done It
