    Goodbye to a friend

    May he have a seat near the head of the long table, near the hearth. May his plate and cup never run dry. Rabbit.

    .30-06 55gr

    I'm sure there's a story somewhere, but I'm also sure Art heard it third-hand. Buzzards are a protected species. I have a friend who made up some *interesting* loads off saboted .30-06. It did funny-looking things to plate steel. That plastic sabot was hard to get out of the grooves, too...

    No 5 clone

    As it's not made from the modified receiver of an original Mk.V., it should hold a reasonably steady POI. The main reason they walked around was the lightening cuts on the receiver. Good looking carbine. I'm sure this one is a real shooter. Regards, Rabbit.

    CZ75 PCR or P-01. Holster Options?

    I'll second HBE; Eric makes fine holsters and stands behind them. Milt Sparks and Tucker Gun Leather turn out excellent leather as well. Regards, Rabbit.

    There's a special layer of hell for me - silenced revolver

    The NKVD used silenced Nagants as an assassination weapon, IIRC. Regards, Rabbit.

    Swedish Mauser

    Military Gun Supply has them in VG for $299. They also have a good supply of Swede GC-63 target rifles, most with diopter sights. I was over there a few months ago and the quality is what they say it is; most of the 63's have club stickers or plates that are uncommon in the U.S. The 96's...

    Anyone have $4000?

    I'm not so much into the MG-34, but I'm wondering if, post-Heller, we could please overturn the import restrictions on Norinco? That M14S at $399.Cdn, with a trip to Fulton, would be nice. Regards, Rabbit.

    FAL Explosion

    Seems to me that Our Tam had a Williams FAL receiver she built up into a .223 FAL. That was, in my opinion, the only safe way to utilize an aluminum FAL receiver. She has since sold the rifle. Regards, Rabbit.

    Destroyer carbine 9mm Largo mags

    I know some of y'all have these; if you need a magazine, as I know a lot of them have gone missing, I ran across a source at MGS in Ft. Worth. http://www.militarygunsupply.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_6&products_id=321 Just passing along the news. Regards, Rabbit.

    Forgotten weapons

    I keep a P38 on my keychain and have done so or probably the last 30 years. Got some bigger P51's around the house, too. Sometimes you have to get into something and a hammer and chisel are too much. Regards, Rabbit.

    Pawn shop aficionados: Look and be amazed!

    I've got an acquaintance who runs a pawnshop- what comes out of pawn and gets put on the floor (in his shop) are usually small power tools that turn quickly, small tv's and home electronics, and the like. Most anything larger or of better quality goes immediately to Ebay or Gun Broker. The few...

    Forgotten weapons

    I understand that H&R's Reisings that remained Stateside went to National Guard/Civil Defense units who were assigned to bridge and railway guard duty. I've heard stories from Pacific Theater Marines who said their Reisings rusted to a non-functional state within days, and tended to be 'lost or...

    What's the Wife Unit carry?

    Springer Micro Compact in .45ACP. Picked it out herself. Shoots it well. She's considering getting another, but can't decide between the M&P Compact or the Walther PPS. I think that she's leaning toward the PPS, as she's on a single-stack kick because of small hands. Regards, Rabbit.

    K.31 Swiss Rifle

    I bought one early this year and it's a fine rifle. I also found the man who it was issued to and thanked him for taking care of it. See here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=337027&highlight=K31 Regards, Rabbit.

    Curisosity peaked for Mosin-Nagant

    Go see if George's Gun and Pawn in Longview (or any of the other pawnshops in town) has one. I'd be surprised if Cherokee Pawn in Kilgore had anything. You might even check at The Gun Doctor in Glencrest in Longview, too. If no luck there, go to Tyler to The Shootist down on Broadway toward...

    Perfect Storm

    Man, that XS front looks like a trash can lid sticking up there. I bet I could see that without my readers. Yes, it's a bitch to get old. That's going to have to be the next addition to my P220 I suppose. Excellent photos, fantastic pistol you've compiled for yourself. My congratulations to...

    Let's see your 6.5x55's

    I looked at the 63's at MGS in Ft. Worth a few months ago. Not bad, decent wood, vg metal, finish, and bores. Most have club medallions, stickers, and whatnot, which to me, adds a little something extra. Lots of them had micrometer sights of various types. Just remember the prices on the website...

    My next rifle is..........a BB gun?

    I've had an RWS 45 for about 25 years. A good, high-quality precision air rifle will make you a better rifle shot as it makes practice a lot easier and much less expensive. Pyramid Air carries an excellent selection. You don't need to spend a lot of money on one, but you do get what you pay...

    New Swiss K31 and a Contact Story!

    I don't know if he'd be that interested in it, seeing as he'd had it 17 years in his closet. However, if he were a Texas resident, and not a prohibited person, I'd certainly be willing to return it to his posession, should he be so inclined. Of course, being Texan would trump being even a Swiss...
