    Kel-Tec Sub 2000 vs Hi-Point Carbine or other

    I have had my 9mm HP carbine for about 1.5 yrs, always liked it except for the fact that it had a top seam that always pulled out whiskers from my cheek when I used it (painful). Now that I installed the ATI CX-4 clone stock, I am in love again!! Best $50 I have spent in a long time.

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000 vs Hi-Point Carbine or other

    Update I know I am about 3 years late, but I am now (as of last Sunday) the proud owner of BOTH the HP 995 and the Sub 2000. I must agree with some who said the HP feels better (I have the ATI stock on the HP), but both seem to be good, solid weapons to me. The Sub 2000 is a lot easier to...

    Quality 25acp

    I just got a little Baretta 21a in 22lr over the weekend, gotta say it's a fun little gun. Sportsmans Guide sells 22lr shot shells, I am gonna buy a box and see how they do in the little guy. Anyone tried these before? They are a shell with a plastic capsule full of shot instead of a chunk of...

    1860 Colts Army

    A couple of friends at work suggest that, before I invest in a wheel gun, I should probably get a single-shot ball and cap and try it out. They say it is a lot less investment and it will let me know if I find it enjoyable. Whatcha think? Decent advice?

    1860 Colts Army

    Preposterous, thanks so much for the reply. I will check out Cabelas and other places. I have seen (on Gunbroker) models made by euroarms, pietta, uberti, others. There are even Colt licensed original replicas. Lots to choose from. You say the Uberti is the best of them? Thanks, I will check it...

    1860 Colts Army

    I understand going slow and getting plenty of info first. In fact, I have a gunsmith with 35 years of experience, I will check with him to see if he has any experience with old Colts. It may be money well spent to have it done by a professional. On the other hand, I am in no big hurry to make...

    1860 Colts Army

    Hey Old Fuff, WOW!! You're absolutely right, with the barrel pointed straight down, it does advance the cylinder! So I am guessing it just has a busted spring in there. Will lhave to do more research to figure out how to further break down the unit and get to the 'hand' and the 'hand spring'...

    1860 Colts Army

    This is my wife's grampa's civil war revolver. After the war, he continued to use it as he 'cowboyed' all over the mid-west, finally settling in Indian territory (now known as Oklahoma). It is our most prized posession so it's not for sale or anything. Just wondering if someone might shed a...

    New to black powder

    Hi, new member here, name's Alan and I live in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). I have a few friends who shoot black powder and it has fascinated me, but went to the gun show over the weekend and there seems to be a couple of trains of thought on the subject. Some like the percussion-type rifles...
