    Rejuvenating the Terminator

    My Terminator is showing some wear. Hell, it is a blued gun closing in on 30 years of age... and has been a carry piece most of its life. I want to send it off and get it refinished so that I have no wear or corrosion issues. If they can give it a once over and make sure it is in tip top...

    No, it wasnt dancing around dressed like a catholic school girl. It was something worse... MUCH worse. Caryn and I had to run by my project managers house to pick up some supplies for my job next week. Along the route is one of the 2 gun shops in this state I make it a point to stop by every...

    Is a Combat Master a good anniversary present?

    First... Caryn, my wife, buys my Delta Elite for me ... it has been my carry pistol whenever I can get away with a full size. A P-11 has been my small concealment piece. Last week we stopped by a gun shop that a guy on another forum suggested to me. There in the case, just as he PMed me, was...

    While picking up the wife's Marlin 1895 SBL at the gun shop a couple of towns away, I went wandering down the glass cases seeing what kinds of goodies they had. I got to the turntable case at the very and was browsing there. Turned it around and what to my surprise did I find but a Beautiful...

    Stay away from Marlin 1895 .45-70s...

    They are HIGHLY addictive!!! The wife picked me up a first year production of the new rifles, 1972, a couple of months ago. Some of the best entertainment I have had at the range. Picked up an 1895 STP, 5 round mag... stainless... 16.25" barrel, earlier this month. NICE boomer. Then we...

    Got my wife another rifle. "FR8 inside"

    Astra revolver grips

    Astra revolvers, the 357 and .44s, do they have the same grip frame? I am looking for a set of smaller profile "carry grips" for my terminator .44, and have come across some "magna style" grips for Astra revolvers on various auction sites. What I am noticing is that internally they have a very...

    Latest purchase, Astra .44 Magnum

    When I got back home to Virginia from my 5 month stint in British Columbia, the wife and I stopped by our local gun store and found this laying on the bottom shelf. She didnt have a well known name like S&W, Ruger, Taurus... so not many people seriously looked at her. She was a lil Spanish...

    Benelli 121 M1

    Ran across a benelli 121m1 today while I was out and about. Hadnt heard of it before today, got home and did some research. I think I will be calling them tomorrow and seeing about putting a hold on it. $475 for a used shotgun seemed steep at the time, but since reading up some on it... what...

    M1 Carbine in 5.7 Johnson/.22 Spitfire

    Anyone have one? I ran across a gun shop that has 2, I have been checking into them and it seems like a great little fun rifle. I have always loved the M1, my first "big boy rifle" was an iver johnson lookalike in .22LR. I already reload for my pistols, so rolling my own ammo wouldnt be an...

    Looking for a value on this...

    Not sure where was the best place to post this... At the gun show today I ran across an unopened box of primed winchester .45 autorim brass. Picked it up for what I consider a decent price. Now... I dunno if I should use it... or see if a collector would be interested in purchasing it. Jim

    Bianchi Carrylok holster

    I have been looking for a good carry holster for a 1911 auto for some time. Tonight I decided on the Bianchi Carrylock. I have been wearing it for a few hours with my 5" Star Super. I am impressed. I am 6'4" 315ish lbs and it disappears under a solid color sweatshirt. The middle finger...
