    Garand bayonet with unknown markings - What did I just buy?

    Wood handle would indicate pre-WWII perhaps. I'm far from a bayonet guru but I'll bet the guys over on the CMP forums would be able to tell you what you have.

    U.S. GI Machettes

    You might want to check out an Esee Junglas, a few inches shorter than what you are considering but one solid blade for sure. I have the 6 and must say Esee's build quality is fantastic. http://www.eseeknives.com/junglas.htm

    Knife for my wife

    +1 on the ESEE knives, they rock with many sizes and blade styles to choose from. I just picked up a 6 with the clip point and am very impressed with the quality of these fixed blades. I see a few more in my future. http://www.eseeknives.com/

    Anybody else seeing gun shows getting better?

    I haven't been to a decent gun show since before AWB #1 in the early 90's and it certainly wasn't here in AK, here we have the same sellers selling the same junk show after show so I don't bother anymore. I still remember the last good show I went to in Denver(the big one) with my brother...

    Shipping black powder pistol

    Exactly, the ROA was discontinued some years back hence the need to acquire one via auction. anyways: I did talk directly to my area ATF today and as all have stated this pistol does fall under the non-firearm category as long as it is not shipped with the metallic cartridge conversion...

    Shipping black powder pistol

    My local FFL told me that if the gun was shipped to his store he would have to log it in and charge me for the transfer. Hopefully I can get some clear direction from my local ATF tomorrow that I can pass on to the seller. My biggest gripe is having to pay an additional $50 if they will only...

    Hidden treasures - older 22 LR

    For me its the old Winchester pumps. I have a model 90, 62 and my all time favorite the model 61. Just plain gorgeous old .22's that shoot and feel like nothing you can buy today.

    Shipping black powder pistol

    Hi guys, Got a quick question about shipping black powder pistols, my understanding is there is no requirement for an FFL transfer but am having issues with a recently acquired Ruger old army from an auction site. They are telling me that because its a modern BP pistol that it needs to go...

    .44 Magnum brass unavailable

    I have a couple hundred once fired 44mag cases and no 44mag. Not even sure when I acquired them but would be willing to let them go for a very reasonable price if someone was interested. edit: Wow I didn't know 44mag brass was so popular, these have been claimed.

    Done with Progressive reloading

    I never moved up to a progressive, been reloading for about 10 years now, no problems producing the volume to shoot as much as I want, I like a single because its relaxing for me and I personally prefer to be more involved with each round and feel its much safer this way.

    Beware of loose pocket holsters!

    You definitely made the right call by informing the client, sometimes its better to save your a$$ than your face, especially when there are kids involved. I also pocket carry the LCP as a backup, I believe my holster is the nemesis, been carrying it this way for so long the bluing is completely...

    My Latest Winchester 63

    Truly a beautiful gun, I've never seen one in person but am quite smitten with other Winchester 22's. I especially like the pumps and have a few, a model 90, model 61 and a model 62. The old Winchester pumps are flat out awesome with some of the smoothest actions on earth and very accurate. They...

    10-22 help!

    +1 on a good cleaning especially the chamber, if this doesn't fix it I would give Ruger a call, their customer service is fantastic, chances are they will fix it for free and even pay for the shipping.

    AR Ammo...what was price per rd before the madness?

    I was able to pick up a few of the federal 420rd cans from walmart a month ago for $176 per can, they got 80 cans in limit of 3 per customer and sold out in less than an hour.

    Blanks in my M1 Garand

    I went ahead and placed and ad in local AKlist (like Clist but allows guns/ammo). I will also try the local VFW as that's a great idea, I hate to throw them out but I definitely will not be using them for reloads,

    Blanks in my M1 Garand

    Thanks for the heads up on the blanks guys, I guess I will just throw them out then, also great to know that the TW53 is not corrosive.
