    AK:5.45x39, a couple of questions

    I went out shooting, practicing drills with a good friend of mine. We were shooting his Tantal and a Bulgarian style AK. We were having bullets tumbling into the paper at 15 feet. I believe we were shooting russian or bulgarian. I wasn't impressed, but it make traing ammo.

    I Told Myself, "No More Hanguns For Awhile." Whatever.

    I just picked up a bobbed hammer 3 inch M13 for $230 two weeks ago. This week it was a near mint 17-4 with box, cleaning kit, etc. for $400.

    Is the .41 Magnum fading away?

    Heck, I traded a well-used Glock 17 that I'd given $300, +$50 for a near mint S&W 657-3 with Eagle grips last year. I have the S&W, a NM Ruger custom Blackhawk, and a Marlin 1894 all in .41 mag.

    Informal range report on smith 15-2

    I picked up one off gunbroker last year for $240. It was an Atlanta hospital security trade-in. It was parked and DA only. It was a real dog when I got it. I had my dad recut the sear notch and make it DA/SA, and then re-caseharden the notch so it wouldn't wear out. Then I had him send the...

    First revolver GP100 or model 28-2

    Congrats and enjoy. I bought a near mint 1959 M28 with the diamond target grips for $300 a few years ago. The pawn shop sold it cheap because they thought the barrel was pitted. I cleaned it good, and it ended up having a mint bore that someone probably leaded with some soft lead bullets...

    Ruger "Plum" finish

    Sometimes variances in the silicon content of steel can cause the part to turn plum after bluing. This doesn't just happen with cast steel parts, but is more prevalent in cast steel.

    grips for 44 mag blackhawk

    Regular ruger blackhawk grips won't fit the Anniversary models. They have an old style XR3 gripframe which is similar to a Colt SAA (smaller than the XR3red, and made of steel). I haven't seen any XR3 grips for sale for a while. You'll probably have to go custom to get what you want.

    OM Blackhawk aluminum frame strength?

    I could argue favorite grip frames all day, but the best gripframe for handling any kind of magnum recoil is the Ruger Bisley gripframe with custom grips. They will however, require you to also install a Bisley hammer and trigger.

    OM Blackhawk aluminum frame strength?

    As I was saying: A New Model gripframe won't go on an Old Model. NM BH (XR3 Red) NM SBH NM Birdshead NM Bisley-----------------All interchangeable with any NM OM XR3 OM XR3 Red OM SBH Old Army-----------------All interchangeable with any OM Some fitting "may" be required :)

    OM Blackhawk aluminum frame strength?

    As long as both are new model parts. (new model gripframe-new model cylinder frame). Probably take A LOT of filing and polishing to get them to mate up flush. I've fitted a ton of gripframes. It ain't no fun. Not to complicated, just a bugger sometimes.

    FAL receivers quick!

    I just finalized the trip and the funds to procure the receiver last week. Building the FAL was an afterthought for the trip. Figured I'd kill two birds with one stone, visiting family/access to an awesome gunsmithing shop.

    FAL receivers quick!

    I need an FAL receiver by Friday to take on a trip with me to build. I'd prefer a Type 3 DSA, Enterprise, Coonan, or non-available Imbel. Who has them in stock and for how much? I'm stuck at work and all the gun sites are blocked. Thanks

    your noob story

    I don't have a noob story. I was taught how to work a 1911 and a Mini-14 at age 6. I've been a total gun nut since about 10-12 yrs/old. Got a my first handgun a Colt Python at 15, at 16 I was building a custom AR-15 and custom 1911 with money made from stocking groceries.

    Which $500 1911? Colt 1991A1 ORM or Taurus?

    I put Novaks, Ed Brown grip safety, videki trigger, McCormick sear, EB tactical ambi safety. on my $407 1991A1. I also polished the feed ramp and throated the barrel. I put it together right before Kimbers and such became available. Out of the box with hardball it'd shoot one ragged hole from...

    Would you sell your G19

    I almost agree with Ala Dan, cept I made $100 profit on the last used G19 I sold. Only sell if you will: A. get your gun money back out of it to buy more guns B. Make a profit on it to buy more guns or gunstuff. I try to always roll my money from selling and trading back into my hobby.
