So, who here is enough of a 1911 nerd to be able to discuss just about any crazy modification that has ever been performed on one? I'm considering buying two old Para frames and finding or building 7" barrel slides for them. From there there's a *BUNCH* of possibilities... bushingless...

One, are all of these set up with 5/8 centers for mounting? Two, is the sight pictured here built to be reversible? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=195723887 Someone in the history of my type 99 arisaka made two screw holes on the right rear of the receiver at 5/8"...

I was at a yard sale, and nabbed what appeared to be an M1907 sling. I got it home and the dimensions are a little wierd, plus it has a total of three hooks, where a regular one has only two. Anyone seen the like before?

I'm invariably shooting at the same time I'm feeding cattle. Also invariable is the fact that miniscule particles of hay cling to my shotshells. Has anyone tried any kind of anti-static sheet or spray that's intended for laundry or flat panels to stop detritus from clinging to plastic...

I'm a cheapskate. I'm a major cheapskate because I'm often short of cash. I've got two or three shotshell reloaders hanging around, and I'd like to start loading for at least two gauges (16 and 12) I'm not in an area with a large amount of reloading supplies available... and It'll be some...

I read an article on an optometrist that specialized in shooters. I've been wondering a little about this, and posted a semi-related topic but didn't get any decent answers. It's been suggested that my glasses could possibly be distorting what I am seeing. A few things I have noticed may...

There's a new pawn shop here in town with a Rohm for sale. Normally I'd turn my nose up at anything with that name on it, but this doesn't feel like the normal crappy die cast .22 POS. this one is a model 57 in .357 mag, all the major components *look* milled, though all the angles are a...

So the extractor on my C96 has been bent for a long time, and I've been unable to shoot it effectively. After reading an article or two, I pulled the extractor (a spoon is the best tool for this BTW) and stuck it in my wallet. I took it to the family shop, annealed it, bent it back to the...

has anyone tried one of those co2 shotguns on pest birds? Either daisy or crosman made these 30 or more years ago. they came with plastic two-piece 'clays', but I've never heard of anyone shooting say... a starling with one.

I've noticed with supposedly zeroed scopes I'm always *way* far off until I zero them, then the previous user is off. I wear extremely high refractive index lenses. A friend of mine suggested that may be causing the problem, and also may be causing my trouble hitting reliably with a shotgun. I...

Somewhere I saw a pic of an early CAR that had a stock resembling a shortened A1 buttstock. Anyone seen one of these? supposedly the first model CAR... also supplied with a short triangular handguard. I've got a 16 inch CAR upper with the triangular handguard on the way. I'll be putting the...

hr2296 s941? Added: big letter to politicians. bring on the BS test. anyone checked these out yet? it says BATF reform... but I see no benefit to owners, and a little for FFLs. I emailed Crapo. told him my thoughts as to actual reform vis á vis the JBTs.

So my buddy and I are at Cabela's looking for some .38 special. Not a spot. I already reload, so we grabbed some bullets and dies. The only bullet they had that we could run in both .38 special and .38 smith was a plated Berry's 148 gn. HBWC. I'm still a little sketchy about whether I want to...

I've decided I want to put a laser sight on my AR. Want to mount it ahead of the front sight, above the barrel. Anyone seen a setup like that for sale? Also looking for info on early laser sights, the klunkier the better. Noone seems to know any specific models... and searching the net for...

I have a choice between a model A UZI carbine and a PS90. Not sure which I want more. My friend has a PS90, and I've fooled with it enough to know I want the rail model becuase the reflex sight is hard for me to acquire. Never really fooled with an UZI.

Anyone seen one of these? know anything about it? just got it for $200. Haven't figured out which switch is 'on' Made in Belgium (Belgium?) coin is a quarter to give you an idea of size. http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/heviarti/Photo_051609_001.jpg

I've been to the website.. I've read. I don't want to read or search fruitlessly. I'm near Boise, I'd and I want to point my Garand at a target and pull the trigger repeatedly at a CMP event. If there are less shooters each year It's no wonder. How are you supposed to involve yourself in an...

I remember seeing an ad for a sort of loop sling with a shoulder rig-like extension designed for EBR/SMG... leaves it pointing down and in a good position to be grabbed and put to ready? anyone know who makes these or where I can get one?

some time ago I bought a type 38 arisaka that was a pacific bring-back. I found a box of hornady custom to run through it. It jad a propensity for bulging cases alsmost ad if it had been rechambered, but none of the dimensions worked for anything. so, being as it was all original and un-ground...

Nydar sights were intended for shotguns... But why not mount one on an AR? it's basically like a holo-sight and I think I could use my irons through it... plus the dot is right about AR front sight height. Anyone tried this yet? I found one for sale and think I might try it.
