I know this may be better placed in the Optics or accessories forums, but this section gets read more. I'm trying to find a way to get the app to work as it used to; it used to have a "Scope View" that would easily/quickly show bullet drop based on zero and actual target distance. It would let...

Forgive my ignorance, but aren't some of these search engines kinda rigged= meaning, the sellers have to pay to be listed? I say that, because I remember when the panic hit in 2020, I had done a good deal of online searching on my own, and had found places with better pricing (places I had...

I picked up a jug of food-grade compressor oil ( was listed as a Lubriplate replacement) from an industrial supply company. No smell, lots of anti-oxidant/corrosion additives, and lubes very well. Once it's on, you have to hit it with brake cleaner or similar solvent to truly remove it. Wipes...

It's not even that. The A80/A90/A100 has a "one size fits all" frame and slide. In order to accomodate 45acp (and 38 Super), the magwell is long enough to fit them. As I understand, MecGar made their magazines, and externally they are the same piece of stamped sheet metal. Typical base plate...

I'm assuming you mean follower body? I think I could. The 45 acp mag follower is metal, flat, like a big 1911 milspec follower. The 9mm followers are plastic, with a hump that pushes the round to the side, like your basic CZ or Beretta follower...

Hi, I recently picked up an Astra A90 in very good condition, in 45acp with one mag (and the original Interarms box). I have also added an A100 slide, 9mm recoil spring, 2 magazines for 9mm, and barrels for 9mm and 38 Super (this one from an A80). The A80, A90 and A100 slides interchange, and...

Well, the seller is clearly documented as residing in one state, and I live in another. And I clearly didn't buy these guns at a local shop, gun show, or face-to-face. They documented the serial numbers, which are present on photos posted on the auction site. And I have a paper (electronic)...

So a happy ending :) UPS delivered to the shop 3pm local time (per my tracking). I called them, they told me they were checking stuff in, and it would be about an hr or so, and store closes at 6pm. So we took a walk around the block, and then got in the truck and headed that way. About 5...

Thanks everyone for feedback and comments. It was a weird, stressful event. I would have liked UPS to give me more advance notice... Oregon to Louisiana, you'd expect tracking to be more than Label Created > Item arrived in Your Town, delivery planned tomorrow. That's important info to know...

So, update: I emailed Ward's, when I posted this thread last night. It pushed the bubble time-wise... I am in Central time, they are in Oregon (Pacific time). Luckily, they caught it just in time. It was on the truck to be delivered, and was redirected at the last moment. Will go to the shop...

I called UPS and got an operator on the phone (which was hard to do), and tried my best to explain it, to get them to change the destination. They said they can't do it, the seller has locked in where the gun ships. I sent an email to them, after calling them and not getting an answer. I hope...

I bought some handguns on Ward's Collectibles. After winning, they had me contact my receiving FFL. Afterwards both parties acknowledged they were in contact and exchanged info. Today I get my UPS tracking info, and UPS says it is shipping to my address tomorrow (at least the email I received...

Last I can confirm, Louisiana is still a private sale state. So no.

Yeah, I don't think I had seen one live. I looked at a couple on auction (auction arms, gunbroker). They were neat. There were a couple on gunbroker a decade or more ago that went for under $200, and I almost bought one then... but no ammo. Now, there's AMMO!

That's the part that is not cut and dried, from what I remember... There are multiple protocols in the film industry when it comes to handling firearms. One is that you never point one (even a blank shooter, from what I remember) at a person. Camera angles and cuts will handle that. That...

That's the part I don't think he can escape. The actor has a legit claim to say you don't expect a prop to be real; as I said you don't expect pushing a plunger actually will blow up dynamite on set. And also as I said, the protocol is you don't get in front of a gun on set (don't point it at...

I think anyone who understands firearms already understood that. Revolvers don't fire of their own accord. Not sure exactly what might have been claimed, perhaps that the hammer was cocked and fell upon drawing; but guns don't just go off. My nightstand gun isn't going to shoot randomly in the...

I have another purchase in the wings... :) a SACM 1935a pistol, with 4 boxes of 7.65 French Longue ammo. The ancestor of the Sig P210. I've always been intrigued by them, but have passed over the years due to the ammo situation. But I happened to buy 9mm Largo from Steinel, and when I saw they...

I just ordered the parts necessary to convert a Sig P226 DAK, to DA/SA. Kinda pricey, but I also added a SRT kit to the mix.

I dunno, man; consolidate all you want, but I'd say keep the Garand and a legit 1911A1 if you have it. Those would be justifiable safe queens. A single M1 Carbine, too. I have a couple guns I may never shoot again, but keep them for other reasons. Sometimes it's just the coolness factor of...
