I agree that Sword Buyers Guide is an excellent starting point. I bought a Ronin Dojo Pro Ko Katana. No regrets, in my opinion it is a nice katana for the money. I actually bought direct from Ronin, getting a monthly special deal, got the Ko real cheap, 200 or so. Check their website. I...

Sears Ted Williams model T-3 (winchester) semi auto .22 My Dad gave it to me for Christmas in 1973. My nephew and I call it "old faithful". He has custody of the old girl now, she still shoots like a champ, though I had to take it apart recently and re-tighten the barrel nut. Sweet shooter...

12 gauge single shot shotgun. Montgomery Ward, I believe, but the old girl is so worn on the side I am kinda guessing. Shot it with my Dad when I was 9 or 10. That shotgun came from his dad. A real working gun. I also now have the old double barrel 12 gauge that my uncle, his older brother got...

When I was looking for a new pistol, I looked at both Glocks and RIA. I chose the RIA because I read good things about them, got some positive feedback about the RIA on THR (along with some great feedback about the asking price and ways to easy check functionality). I chose the 1911 because...

Badger, I just left Guns Plus a while ago, burned through a box on their range. Their prices are very high, but they do carry a variety I can't see most places, and they are bout 20 minutes from my house. If you don't mind me asking what pawn shop is that cheap? Deac

I have a couple of 30 round mags, 1 SEY and one AYP, they work fine for me. Both of my carbines have the older mag catch. I dont use them much, as I have a bunch of GI 15 rounders, which are much handier. The key is to use the GI mags. I only had one mag not function, a 15 rounder, and it had...

I have an older version of the Savage Scout, it has the side push button mag release. I tinkered around with it a bit, and modified a couple of M1A magazines to go in, so I now have a true detachable magazine rifle, with the option of either a 5 round (for hunting) or 20 round magazine. I...

Good on the young man and granddad. welldoya, the Clower story made me laugh out loud, I just may have to dust off the old turntable and break out some vinyl records, haaaw. This reminds me of a story from my youth. I had a neighbor with 2 kids a little younger than me, we were playing...

rmuzz, I love the M1 Carbine, it is just a joy to shoot, recoil is very light. My nephew is my shooting partner, and no other gun puts a smile on his face like the carbines. For sheer enjoyment it is the winner in my book and the my girl likes it too. That said, the ammo for the carbine is...

Ok, I own a Savage Scout and an M1A Scout Squad. The M1A is quite a bit heavier. The recoil on the savage is ok, not as bad as I thought it would be for such a light gun. Fully loaded it weighs about 7-8 pounds or so, and that is with a 20 round M1A mag I modified to go in the gun. When I...

IF I could buy off the shelf 30-06 ammo for a Garand, I would probably buy one. My nephew is going crazy to get one, and I love the history of the gun, but the inability to use commercial loads bothers me. On the other hand, I have 2 M1 Carbines, a nice Winchester and an Inland which I am...

I am one of those guys that is not "printing" touching groups when I shoot, I am decent with a rifle, but with a hand gun, well a CD sounds pretty good. I am an older guy so minute of record album at 10 yards would more accurately describe my pistol shooting. I grew up with a rifle and am...

+1. My primary carry gun is a Bersa 380 magazine is 7 so +1, same numbers with my RIA 45 and standard mags. I hope to God never to need any shots, but if I do I want as many as I can have available in a few seconds. As to the extra round when I unload, they always go in my golf shoes, right...

Bersa Thunder 380 with me today. Dead reliable.

My Dad played basketball at Wake Forest University (the Demon Deacons) and wore the number 25. I use this handle to honor him and I miss him every day. It is appropriate for this forum, as he taught me gun safety and how to shoot, in that order! As today is an especially good day to be a...

Best practice like this for me came at a local range. I went in and set up to shoot a few with my Rock Island, was getting grooved etc. There were a couple of guys next lane over when I went in, but they weren't shooting. So there I am in my own little world when suddenly a darn grenade went off...

thanks nutter I will read up. deac

I was reading the paper this morning and there was an article about the "Santa Claus killer" telling more details of the guys plans. There was a description of the ammo found at his house which described it as "high power" not for sale in that state, and that he ordered it from out of state...

Ok, a quick google of the gun led me to information about a recall for some of the models, serial # M00001 to m015304 were recalled. I will check the serial # tomorrow. The camo pattern is a turkey gun, smoothbore with a polychoke. Any comments about the polychoke? Thanks, Deac
