    David Marshalls Williams' first gun was a muzzle loading pistol

    This! Always two--what were the handles made out of, pearl or something like that? Those were the ones he pulled out on my grandpa and Mr. Beard. This too! Grandpa said he went to the museum 20 years or so after the book, and some minute detail like a pack of cigarettes in just the right...

    David Marshalls Williams' first gun was a muzzle loading pistol

    Yep, that's him. He's still around and lucid. Whatever edition of the book I have a copy of, grandpa did the foreword or something. It's the part where he talks about almost getting killed by Williams two or three times in the course of one visit. Are there multiple editions of that book? This...

    David Marshalls Williams' first gun was a muzzle loading pistol

    You know my grandfather did the photography and foreword for that book, right?

    Surplus MANURHIN MR73 .357 revolvers

    My understanding is that these designs are largely based on the N-frame from Smith and Wesson. Would it be that hard to work on them? If so, why is that?

    Adams revolver ?

    The trigger guard looks like a Russian Smith and Wesson No. 3--that weird thumb-rest. It's like they combined the Smith with an Adams.

    Hey Willie, how much was the MiG?

    Cant get crisco here, would shea or cocoa butter work?

    Hey Valencia, what kinda gun are you shooting over there? I'm curious to hear how the rendered lard works.

    Public Perception of Suppressors

    See, this is a misunderstanding of what this sort of political writing is done for. The *point* is to give the reader some justification of the stuff they already feel and have no idea why. Then, of course, when you argue with these readers in real life, they think you're a scary obsessive...

    Ruger Match Champion now with adjustable rear sight.

    If they're too proud to shrink their proclamation of match champion-ness, I'd be satisfied if they just moved it to the bottom of the butt, or the inside of the grip-frame. :D

    ID these French police rifles

    Dude, you've seen that movie? You're a pretty eclectic dude. Figures that French people like Rugers. Say what you will about them, they do have good taste.

    Ruger Match Champion now with adjustable rear sight.

    I just hope they de-ugly it, make a version with a 6" barrel, and/or put those springs in the rest of the GP100 line.

    What to do with Old Army with bad barrel

    I completely agree with what another couple of people have said: TURN IT INTO A .50 CAL! If I had an ROA that wasn't quite right, I'd sell my girlfriend's cat to bankroll one of those.

    Custer's Gun

    LOL, this thread reminds me so much of that one paragraph in "All The Pretty Horses":

    New H&R Pardner Pump

    I am THIS CLOSE to making that my new sig-line. No one better lament the disappearance of craftsmanship among American gunmakers while looking down the sights of a gun made by America's #1 future foreign-policy headache.

    New Ruger GP100-22

    This has Davidson's written all over it, but thiiiiiiiiis. :D

    First Mauser/Persian

    Man, I gotta get me one of those. When I saw the rear sights in Indo-Iranian script I started counting up in Urdu, "eek, do, tri, chaar, paanch...."

    Has there ever been a suppressor that hangs down?

    I'm gonna go more low-brow than the other respondents and note that an eccentric suppressor was used in Robocop by the dad from That '70s Show.

    Taurus 1911 and Tula steel cased ammo

    In fairness to the Russians who make the stuff, I can't imagine them having anything for testing the reliability of this ammo in.

    4th Cav, did this search and destroy mission happen before Tet or after?
