    Colt Commando...special (I think)

    I went to a Local Gun Show this week in LA.... Lower Alabama..... it was packed. Prices were MSRP and above on the newest stuff, with low availability on most (popular) ammo. I found a beat up S & W Model 19 2 inch blued (from some of the blue that was left) that the dealer wanted $650 on and...

    Found a Used Model 27 today

    I was out on a road trip for work today, and just coincidentally, by chance, my route took me by a couple of gunstores and pawn shops. In a pawn shop I found a new Classic Model 27...yes with the lock. I think the lock is ugly but it is not a deal breaker for me. It was one of these...

    My Savage Model 99E

    I have been wanting one for awhile and today when I saw this one at the gunshow I couldn't pass it up. A Savage Model 99E in 308. It has the rotary mag but not the round counter. Someone has removed the factory rear sight and installed a Williams peep rear sight. This one says...

    Norinco SKS Paratrooper

    Awhile ago my Brother and I were talking and he said he had an SKS that he had bought and never shot. I said I would buy it if h wanted to get rid of it. Today, at a cookout at my Parents house, my brother shows up with a Norinco SKS "Paratrooper" or at least I think it is a Paratrooper...

    Need a Ruger Sec. Six Ejector Rod

    I got this on Father's Day. $299 used. While shooting it today (.357s were right on target, .38 LRN were low) after 24 rounds, the cylinder did not want to open. I got it open and it seems the ejector rod assembly had been unscrewing on me. That lengthened the cylinder rod up which...

    Father's Day Rugers

    I went to the gunshow in Montgomery AL today, with a pocketful of early Father's Day presents. Instead of gifts, my daughters gave me cash since they knew I was headed to the gunshow. I don't know if the panic is over, but the prices seemed MUCH MORE Reasonable at this show than at the last...

    Bass Pro Shops SW Model 1917

    Get to your local Bass Pro Shops! Quick! They have marked down the price on some Smith&Wesson Classic Models that are not selling very fast I was told today. The blue and nickel Model 1917 had already sold out, but they had the Case Hardened Model marked down from $1049 to $649!

    I have succumbed...

    I have succumbed ....to the panic....I bought an ugly rifle...yes...I am picking up an IO, Inc side-folder AK-47 on Monday (the only new one I could find at a RELATIVELY cheap price!). Trouble is, the gun store was out of all 7.62X39mm ammo. No problem I thought, that stuff is common as dirt and...

    Lever Action Shotguns

    SOG has one for sale for $359. An 1887 Lever Action Shotgun. I suspect it is a Chinese knockoff, but....I've always been intrigued by this firearm. Does anybody have a Lever Action Shotgun? How do they shoot? Are they worth the money? Give me a review please.

    Garand Enbloc Clips

    It's just a simple piece of bent and folded, stamped out metal, yet apparently there are vast differences that take a micrometer or some such measuring apparatus to discern. So far, I have gone through two bandoliers of the clips in my Service Grade Springfield M1 out of one of those 192...

    Ishapore Enfield 2A

    I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to find a used .308 bolt gun that I liked, and that I thought was worth the price... It's close to deer season so the price is higher I guess? So I bought an Ishapore Enfield 2A from AIM. These are before I cleaned it up. Plus, this one...

    S&W Model 13-2 Info

    A local pawn shop has a .357 4" Model 13-2 Nickel finish for sale for $259. The Model 13 looked to be in good shape. I don't know much (anything) about a Model 13. It was awful LIGHT for a .357, and the cylinder walls seemed thin. I am "sorta" looking for a Model 19. But I would...

    Future Gunshows in Montgomery AL Area?

    I know CASCI usually has a show at the Alcazar Shrine Center in Montgomery in January, but I checked the list, and there are none scheduled for Montgomery or Dothan in all of 2008. Anybody know of any scheduled Gunshows in LA (Lower Alabama) for 2008?
