    Most visually appealing handgun brands of ammo?

    So, there is a thread on the general discussions forum about the most visually appealing cartridges, and it got me thinking about this picture I had seen: I'm not the most artistic guy in the world, but the black tipped ammo next to the Walther P5 look beautiful to me. The Liberty Halo...

    Cleaning/lubrication methodologies thread.

    A poster in the Rifle Country made a thread about using grease in AR-15's, and it got me thinking. A lot of people will say, "I use X cleaner or lubricant," but not why. I figure if we make a in depth thread about why we chose what cleaners, maybe those of us who(like myself) are dumber\less...

    Newbie stock refinishing.

    Hey guys, I have a Husqvarna rifle that I am looking to refinish. It had a glossy finish to it. Personally, I am more a fan of hand rubbed oil and satin finishes. I stripped down the gloss with Brownells Rubbing Compound, which removed the outer finish, leaving the wood mostly stripped...

    Thoughts o Mossberg MVP?

    I've been thinking about a good plinking bolt action centerfire rifle for a bit. Since bolt action has more kick than semi automatic, extended plinking, I think, would require a smaller caliber. Another plus would be cheaper ammo. That settled the caliber, to me, on .223. I think it would be...

    Flaig's Ace mauser sporter quality?

    I recently purchased a Flaig's Ace rifle. The information I have been able to uncover about it is that it is chambered in .243, it was made in 1968, it has a Sako trigger group, and a Ferlach mauser action. Ferlach is known for making high dollar custom rifles and shotguns. However, they are...

    Where to get a good custom stock?

    I have a Swedish mauser, that Kimber sporterized in the early 90's. It's a wonderful hunting rifle, with a durable synthetic stock. However, I want to make it look a little nicer. I know people say that wood stocks aren't as stable as laminate, or as durable as synthetic. But a nice would stock...

    AR15 in 7.62x39

    Anyone have one of these? How well do they work? Do they change out easily with a .223 lower? What is the availability of mags and how much? Thanks, Ken

    Daewoo DR-200 conversion

    Does anyone know what parts have to be changed out on a DR-200 when converting to a pistol grip and folding stock to make it legal? What is the cost of the parts? Are they easy to find? Thanks, Ken

    Sig 239 vs. S&W 6906

    Does anyone know how these two compare re: size, reliability, function? Would either qualify as a "pocket pistol"? I've looked at .380s for this purpose but am a little put off by the weaker caliber and stout recoil, ammo costs, etc. Thanks for the help. Ken

    Sphinx lovers -- how'd I do?

    I just won an excellent condition AT 2000 PS 9mm two tone for $485.00 on Gunbroker. No box or papers and only one 10-rd mag. Did I do OK or did I get hosed? Anyone know where to find some 15-rd mags? Do CZ or Baby Eagle mags work in these guns? I'm excited -- always wanted to have one of these...

    Hard chroming Aluminum frames

    I've had a crazy idea of finding a beater Walther P5 and hard chroming it. Then I thought I remembered some problems in HC of the aluminum. Does anyone know of anyone who can do this? Or does it have to be made silver-tone in some other fashion? Or is this just a bad idea? The thought of a HC'd...

    Questions about S&W 945

    Hi All, Any ideas as to whether the firing pin safety causes any problems with the trigger or other functions of the gun? In other words, is the 945 a more accurate and reliable gun than a 945-1 with the firing pin safety? Thanks, Jim

    S&W 745

    Lately i've been tempted to get one of these. Can anyone tell me how they compare to 1911's -- ease of field stripping, accuracy,reliability, accessibility of mags? Ken

    Bernardelli P018

    I have the compact version of this pistol that I like very much. Does anyone know where I might find extra mags for it? So far it has been a frustating search. Thanks, Ken

    Hi Walt, I'm right below you here in Charlotte. I've also got a one pro .45 with a great trigger. I'd like to find a 9mm. Do you know of any sources for one of these? Thanks, Ken

    Bernardelli pistols

    Anyone have any opinions about these-- specifically the p-One and the model 80 .380? I see these occasionally and wonder why the resale on them looks to be not so good for what appears to be a well made piece? Are they durable/reliable/accurate? Thanks, Ken

    Whitney pistols in SOG

    Latest flyer has these for $550.00. Says 13,000 made between 1955 and 1962. Looks like Buck Rogers' ray gun. Anyone know anything about these? Seems I heard they had reliability issues but they sure do look cool. The price seems a bit steep. Ken
