I've changed out grips in most of the guns I've owned that it was possible to do so on. Aside from grips, installing an SRT in a p226 a few years ago is the extent of my modifications.
I recently sold around 75% of my collection for similar reasons. It had been years since I had fired any of them. The best part is I don't regret it in the slightest even though I worried I would.
For me it depends upon what one considers to be shot. I have been hit with ricochets multiple times with the worst being a .223 to the crown of my head. It had lost enough momentum that it bounced off my skull, but it made quite the spectacle with how badly scalp wounds bleed. I had a blood...
Dan Wesson 32 H&R Magnum. I can't remember the model number for it. I knew they were rare, but couldn't find a good idea of a price for it so I ended up selling it for about 1/4 of what one sold on gunbroker for a few weeks later. I still made money on it, but I would have held onto it if I...
I agree with the folks that have said that it is not as much of a quality decline as it is we all know about the issues now. The Remington 700 is a good example of this. They had issues forever, but did not address it until the internet told everyone about it over and over again.
I'm going to sounds nuts to just about everyone here, but I am from Tennessee and I have thought about moving out west maybe even to California. While I do enjoy Tennessee's wilderness, the west has some of the best national parks our country has to offer and I would love to live closer to them...
I bought an old single shot 20 gauge a few years ago for $50. It says 'black prince' on the side of it and from what I've read was made by a company called crescent firearms. It's all in working order but I've never shot it due to its age.
This actually reminds me of some ammunition that I found a couple years ago in an old storage building on my parents' property. It was Remington 45 ACP in a box old enough that I didn't recognize the design, so I'm guessing at least 90's if not older. The shells themselves were full of crusty...
I may be wrong, but I think I saw something similar to this a year or two ago on another forum. Thought it was at a church in LA then as well. I couldn't guarantee it though. My memory isn't what it used to be.
I'm lucky enough to have family property to shoot on but I still usually only take one or two guns. Taking more guns means more work and more downtime both of which I like to minimize.
I received a couple of firearms from family members but I actually have not personally purchased one this year. This is the first year I haven't purchased one in about a decade.
Whether or not the number of firearms being purchased is entered in depends on your state. Here in Tennessee the FFL has to enter in gun type and serial number for every firearm purchased even if it is in the same transaction. It always confused me how some people online were so adamant that the...
My buying and shooting have both slowed a lot over the past year. In the past I bought 500 rounds or more online at a time but now I just grab a box or two at Walmart every once in a while.
I never actually bought anything from SOG. I tried once and the website said that an FFL holder had to do the actual order rather than me ordering and just selecting an FFL to do a transfer. I'm sure that lost them quite a few sells so it's likely their own fault they're closing.
I've only been delayed once and it was also the only time I've ever bought a long gun out of state. It took about a week and a half to get approved but it did finally happen.
I guess for me it's my XDm. Never cared for Springfield XD's but I found the XDm at a great price and decided to take the chance. Far and away better than the couple of XD's I've owned.
