    Any Fortis/Bren 10 news from SHOT?

    Bad news fellas... The Gunsite raven will not appear on the new pistol's frame. Inside sources relay that quality & performance is questionable. My advice is to steer clear of these... Unfortunately Vltor even turned off the comment section of its weblog on the subject: fortispistol.com

    Shot Show - what would you like to see?

    Not going this year but I'm curious what each of you would like to see if you were attending. Perhaps by listing each manufacturer and product, some in attendance would be kind in supplying info (+ pics!). So here's my top 10 list: 1. Sigarms 55x rifle for the U.S. - what does it look...

    Tip-up barrels in Autos

    I'm curious how rounds are extracted during firing in tip-up barrel semiautos like the Beretta 86 cheetah or the Tomcat that don't exhibit an extractor? Exactly what is the ejection process?

    Beretta Magazine floor plate

    I recently inherited a Beretta 86 (.380 with tip-up barrel design) that I like to shoot except for one caveat: the grip + magazine base lip aren't sufficiently long enough for my hand. As a result, my pinkie finger keeps sliding underneath the grip during shooting. Is there a gunsmith that...

    Fluted Bull Barrel

    Non-fluted Commander Bull Barrel Ok, so where can I find a non-fluted Bull Barrel for a Commander size 1911? Ed Brown no longer carries a bull barrel in 4.25" length.

    Fluted Bull Barrel

    Yes they do exist: http://www.coolguyguns.com/images/Mybaby-desc.jpg Lissner used to make them and I'm wondering if there's a counterpart here in the U.S. which goes towards my original question.

    Fluted Bull Barrel

    From Ed Brown's wesbite... Do you offer any type of gunsmithing work? No, we do not. However we do offer an installation service for Ed Brown parts. Ed Brown doesn't offer a FLUTED bull barrel part.

    Fluted Bull Barrel

    Any recommendations as to where or whose fluted bull barrels to try? I'm looking for one for my Ed Brown Kobra Carry (Commander Style 1911). A shop that could supply the barrel and fit the barrel to the pistol is preferred. - Dacos

    Walther R99 (yes, they make a wheel gun)

    Earl's Repair Service I spoke to Earl about a year ago and he had a stainless R-99: carlwalther.com The only problem is that Earl wanted $1350 for what was basically a S&W M19 w/3" barrel and yes, special grips. For that price one could buy a new M19, have a smith install a 3" barrel and put...

    Sphinx Pistols

    Sphinx Pistols

    New Scoop I've been more patient regarding these pistols than practically anything else I can recall... now here's the latest: I contacted Sphinx regarding the possibility of purchasing a Sphinx AT-2000S, which is notoriously difficult to find and Sabre Defence (the new U.S. importer) denied...

    Ithaca Guide Series

    Anyone handled or own one of these in 12 gauge? I'm curious what your opinion is and how it shoots/handles. I was thinking of purchasing one and having the barrel shortened 1.5" (from the original 20" barrel) and replacing the rifle sights with a bead sight only.

    Sig p210 sights

    I want to have a smith install three-dot sights on my Sig P210-6. I'm aware of Novak's being able to do so with their sight system, but I was wondering what other sights I might be able to use besides this style. Is their a 3 dot sight that has the profile of Trijicon's or say PT Night sights...

    O/U Barrel work
