    Argentine Mauser carbine

    The unenviable task of sorting and selling my late grandfather's gun collection has fallen to me. While I would obviously prefer to not sell any of his collection, I have only two choices: sell them myself or have them sold en masse to some random dealer. It's not really a choice. None of the...

    Holster for XD Tactical .45ACP?

    Searching around, I can only seem to find holsters for 9mm/.40/.45GAP for the 5" XD. Anyone know of a good one that will fit the .45ACP 5" XD? Thanks, Daniel

    Where to get metal fittings for Enfields?

    I have two bubba'ed-up Enfields, a Mk1No3*, and a Mk4No1. I can buy stock sets for these rifles from AIM Surplus, but they don't sell the barrel bands, sight protectors, etc., that were removed during the bubbazation process. Does anyone know where I can get these parts so I can restore these...

    J.M. Davis Gun Museum

    I had never heard of the J.M Davis Gun museum until I was up in Tulsa, OK this weekend to visit my fiance's family. Her aunt suggested that we go visit the museum, so we packed up and headed out to Claremont. The first thing you notice is the Patton (i think it was a Patton) tank sitting on...

    Americans Embracing Shooting Sports

    Interesting, if short, Fox News article. There is video as well. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123134,00.html It's good to see more positive press on a major network. However, I seriously doubt this kind of story would see the light of day on, say, CNN.

    Rem. Model 8 & 81 prices?

    My grandfather has a Model 8 in .32 and a model 81 in .35 (I think). He wants to sell these guns, so I'd like to buy them, but I want to be able to make him a reasonable offer that won't bankrupt me and won't cheat him. I can find a couple Model 81s for sale on Gunbroker, so I have a vague idea...

    The "Cheeseburger Bill"

    Read the story here. The parallels between this and the gun-manufacturer liability bill are amazing. The usual suspects are standing up and decrying the bill because it is "aimed at hurting trial lawyers". I guess that's only a bad thing to Democrats. :rolleyes:

    Help identify this old pocket revolver

    I'm trying to get some information on this old SA/DA revolver for my soon-to-be father-in-law. According to my dial calipers, the barrel has a bore of .362" and the cylinder chambers are .363" in diameter and 1.192" long. The barrel is 2.5" long. The hammer has a wedge-type firing pin on it, so...

    Texas 30.06 questions

    The company that I work for has an anti-gun policy like most large companies. There are signs on the doors that say that no weapons are allowed, etc. None of the signs are legally binding against a CHL holder, as they do not contain the legally required verbage: "Pursuant to Section 30.06...

    Colt SAA manufacture date?

    I'm trying to find out the manufacture date of a certain SAA. The serial number is 15XXX. It has "Colt Single Action Army .45" stamped on the barrel, and the patent date stamped on the lower left side of the frame, below the cylinder. It's blued with a case-colored finish on the frame and what...

    Best. Xmas. Present. Ever. (C&R)

    My grandfather just gave me a Rock Island Arsenal M1903, serial 424XXX. It is in great shape, with all of two tiny dings on the stock. The blueing is a little worn on the receiver, but the barrel, sights, and trigger/guard are perfect. The barrel is stamped "S A" "9 28" (Springfield Armory...

    Picked up an M39...

    ...and it's sweeeet. The metal and wood are pristine. Serial no. is 37xxx with all matching parts. It has the "B" barrel, complete with the classic plum bluing. The receiver tang is stamped 1907. The stock is dovetailed just past the receiver, and looks great. Gorgeous rifle, and I'm proud of...

    Theoretical 2nd Amendment excercise

    Assume that the Supreme Court finds that the 2nd Amendment absolutely confirms the right of the individual to keep and bear arms. However, in the Supreme Court's opinion, "reasonable" limitations can be put upon the 2nd, just like there are on the 1st Amendment. Would you then comply with...

    I'm buying too many guns...

    ...and neglecting other firearms essentials. Like magazines and ammo. :D Seriously, once I get a nice little sum of cash, I turn around and spend it on a new gun instead of buying necessary accessories. I can't help it. I want to buy a half dozen Wilson mags for my 1911s and a few 30 rounders...

    Pricing on a WW2 milsurp 1911?

    What would a Remington Rand 1911 in near-perfect condition go for? The serial number puts the manufacturing date at about June, 1945. This pistol seriously makes me drool. Thanks, Daniel

    Looking for a good 1911 smith in the Austin, TX area

    I need some work done converting my Colt Mk IV Series 80 from .40 to 10mm, and I have no idea who I should get to do it. I'm definitely replacing the barrel, link, and bushing. Maybe replacing the grip safety, MSH, hammer, and trigger too. I also want to get rid of the idiot mark that the...

    Colt mark IV Series 80...in .40S&W?

    I came across an odd beast: the Colt Mark IV Series 80 1911 chambered in .40S&W. It's got a blued slide and SS frame and looks fantastic. It has an idiot mark (:(), but that's the only sign that it's ever been toyed with. The owner claimed that it's never been fired, and upon cleaning, that...

    EAA Saigas?

    Anyone have any experience with the EAA Saigas? CDNN is selling the 7.62x39 for $160, so I was thinking of picking one up. I wanted to make sure I'm not just tossing my cash away. I am also possibly interested in one chambered for .308... Thanks for any input.
