Got a Sprigfield GI widebody ( PW9701L). Well it wasn't my first choice, but they discontinued the one I liked. Anyways, I got a good price on this one, and was going to swap out some parts. What is the radius for the grip safety? Is there one for the GI style GS? I ordered a .220" but it...

Buddy of mine picked up a Polish P-64. Looks sort of similar to a Walther PP. Anyone know where to get a holster for it? Or will it be resigned to a generic nylon type holster? Any help would be great :)

I picked up a Rem 788 in .308 to go with my .22-250 788. I notice the safety detent isn't holding the safety in either position very well. Doesn't seem to affect function or safety, more an annoyance than anything. What kind of setup does Remington have in there? Ball and spring? Or dimple...

Shot a competition this past weekend and my Dan Wesson 715 started acting up. About half way thru the DA pull, the trigger would stop dead, cylinder would be about half indexed to the next chamber :cuss: Occasionally, if I "feather" the trigger a bit, it will resume where it got stuck and...

I'm debating between a CZ 527 in .223 or a Savage 10 or 12 in .223. One thing I like on teh Savage is that I can get a large bolt handle/knob. Anyone know of a source for something similar to the Sharpshooter Supply Tactical bolt handle but for the CZ?

Picked it up yesterday, Dan Wesson (17 ?)with 4 barrels and tools. Joins my 715 stainless and High Standard Sentinel Mk II Anyone know what these go for with barrels and all? It ran me $300 and has tighter lockup than any other revolver I own, I'd say blueing is at 95-97% (couple of...

I"ve got the odd idea that the 5.7x28 would make a nice little bolt gun for fox up to coyote. Anyone know what kind of accuracy to expact from the factory 5.7? Also, where can I get a barrel chanberd for it on a Savage thread? Originally I was thinking just get the Savage 10FP .223 and cut...

Got a precision rifle class coming up in a month and a half, I need 250 rounds of "match" grade ammo. I'm thinking 168 grain Sierra MatchKings, about how many pounds of powder am I going to need to load say 350 rounds? Is there a website for this kinda stuff? I'm a bit new at reloading...

Got a question for the 1911 gurus :) I have a Para LDA 18.9 9mm. I've been offered a swap of my slide assy for a .45 slide assy from a Para LDA 7.45. Are there any reasons that this wouldn't work? Only thing offhand I can think of would be the ejector would need to be changed, and maybe...

Looking at getting a new rifle for hunting fox and coyote. My 10FP-LE1 .308 and I think the 788 .22-250 would be a bit too destructive for fox. I'm looking at going .223. So far I'm considering the Savage 10FP-LE1A or a 16" bull barrel upper for the AR similar to this Any opinions...

A guy at work says his brother is looking to sell his Colt .22. It's an auto, .22LR, matte stainless, 2 mags and should have it's original box. I guess it doesn't have any model name on it, any ideas what it is exactly? I was hoping it would be an older Woodsman, but now I'm not sure. He's...

I guy my uncle knows is selling a Browning BAR 7mm Remington Mag with a Leupold Vari-X II 3.5-10 (i think, may be 3-9). He says it's almost new, bought this past spring, and has maybe a box and a half of shells thru it. Wants to get rid of it for a .300 Win Mag I guess. Asking price is $600...

I'm looking to make some half size IPSC steel plate targets. I have found a typical hardness for high velocity use as 500 Brinell (about 51-52 Rockwell C) But steel type is uncertain. I have found MIL-A-46100 is a high hard armor plate steel for multiple hit use. It's similar to 86xx steels, but...

Any suggestions on what my first purchase should be? So far "Im thinking a MN 91/30 or an M44. Also, anyone know where there is the example letter to send to vendors? I know I saw one somewhere, can't remember where now. :scrutiny: Now to put in some overtime to pay for all this :evil:

anyone come across any std. capacity (18 round) Para 18.9 mags? Looking to order a few next week, was wondering if anyone has seen any. All I've found so far have been .45 and .40 mags. Thanks in advance :)

I'm planning on purchasing a Savage Model 10FP LE1 20" .308. It'll be mostly for target shooting, but I may do some hunting with it. 5-600 yards is going to probably be my max range, I think most ranges around here only go to 300 anyway. I'm hung up on a scope, so far I'm thinking mil-dot...

Last summer I picked up a Stoeger Uplander supreme SxS 12ga. I shot it a couple times and that was about it. Went out to the trap range tonight and only broke maybe 15 out of 50 clays. :uhoh: :scrutiny: Is there a different technique with a SxS as opposed to a vent rib 870? I used to shoot...

I was lookng at a shotgun news ad and saw these 2 pistols advertised. $140 and $100 respectively. Kinda thinking of getting one ot the other or both, mostly for a plinking/range use. I'm not familiar with the Star, other than the fact that it's basically a 1911 clone. Are they decent? Any...

here's a link to a thread at Packing.org for a gathering at the MN Capitol stairs to celebrate and get some positive exposure for the MN CCW anniversary. April 28th at noon. See you there :)

I have a chance to buy a Taurus M85 , 2" ported bbl, blued with gold accent trigger, cyl. latch and hammer and rosewood grips. Comes with a galco belt slide holster to sweeten the deal a bit. He's asking $200. Lockup seems pretty tight, a little play in the crane and some side to side of the...
