I was thinking I'd replace the plastic safety on my Mossberg 500. I took it out of the safe to see how hard that'd be, and then I saw that the screw holding the safety switch in place is one of those "one-way" screws that can only be tightened. The head of the screw is designed so that the edges...

I just bought an RRA NM trigger from Jack's Black Rifle Shop on GunBroker. The price was $100.

I don't think there's truly an "all purpose " handgun. Sure, you can get get a jack-of-all-trades that will perform more than one role, but what you're really doing is compromising so that you get a tool that's not best suited to either CCW or hunting. IMHO, a handgun that is powerful enough and...

+1 on the gun potentially being from an estate. Knowing that I'm "into" guns, a fair number of people have approached me asking the value of guns they've inherited, be it from their father, uncle, brother, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping to find a Bersa Thunder locally so I can handle one. The dimensions sound like this would make an excellent carry weapon. Sig, I'll have to see if the Bersa is too small for me. I have smallish hands, about a size medium when I buy gloves. One other thing--I've...

I've been looking for info on the slide width of the Bersa Thunder .380. Bersa's website reports that the "width" of the gun is 1 7/16 inches, which I believe can only describe the width of the grip area of the pistol. I consider the slide width to be more critical for IWB carry. Can anyone give...

Thanks for the input, Craig. I had e-mailed Tactical Solutions yesterday, and they, too, indicated that the sights are adjustable and compatible with the Buckmark's stock front sight. This is looking more and more like my best option. For some reason, though, your picture post is not showing...

I bought a stainless Buckmark Camper 3-4 years ago, not knowing then that the rear sight base is made of plastic. I don't know that that would have affected my decision to buy it, as I really like the Buckmark design and I particularly liked the Camper's barrel contour and grips. Anyway, after I...

For under $200, my pick would be something from the Bushnell Legend series. These scopes have superb glass but lack some of the premium bells and whistles of the Elite series. They even have a 5-15x40AO scope with a mildot reticle for under $200.

Don't buy your first handgun based on the vote of this board. You'll be the one owning and shooting it, so get what fits you best. Handle and fire as many handguns as you can. Pay close attention to ergonomics and what feels most comfortable to you. You've gotten loads of recommendations...

Yes, they kicked some serious butt at Thermopylae. :neener:

I looked at one of the new Ruger Mark III Target models at Bass Pro today. It had the 6 7/8" tapered barrel and adjustable sights. It was nice, but I was puzzled at what I saw around the front sight. There appeared to be a thin line of some light-brown stuff on either side of the front sight...

I'd say that most WW2 rifles can be used to hunt deer. I've never done it myself, but I've even heard of people using the relatively unpowerful .30 Carbine in this role. I doubt it was at 200 yards, though. (Please note that I'm not inviting a debate on hunting ethics here.) Other than the .30...

Too much business can be a self-correcting problem. Customers grow tired of waiting and move on to a competitor. They also likely never return.

Sounds like a a remake of the DeLisle carbines that were made in WW2.

Steel cases also cause extraction problems in the Handi Rifle. I encountered this trying to shoot cheap steel-cased .308s in one a few years ago.

Why did this have to devolve into another hunting ethics thread? :confused: Anyone that's been around the Rifle Country forum for any length of time has seen this as often as the "9mm vs. .45 ACP" thread on the Handguns forum. :eek: Let's just talk about 7mm rifles, OK?

I'm just now completing a similar collection that I began last year. Unless you have deep pockets and unlimited space in your gun safe, you need to set some clear parameters before you embark on building a WW2 collection. Otherwise, you wind up chasing every "deal" you find on odd bits of WW2...

Check out a S&W 3913 (or a S&W 908 to save a few bucks).

As I said earlier, I'm not really interested in collecting full-auto weapons like SMGs, BARs, etc. They are simply too rare and expensive, as well as being a lot of trouble due to NFA and other legal restrictions. I'm also not interested in reproductions (such as the semi-auto versions of WW2...
