As the couple of comments that have been posted indicate, Llamas are actually good, reliable guns as long as you avoid the years when they were still making them on equipment that was from 35 to 55 years old. They're both good range guns and good self defense guns. There's even a good...

You ought to try Colt .22 cal 1911 mags. I've found that in the more "common" calibers colt mags work in a Llama more often than they don't.

Yeah, everyone knows Llamas are worthless. Except that they aren't. Depends on when they were made. Gabilondo & Urresti were gunmakers in Eibar, Spain in 1904, moving to Elgoibar in 1918 and after WWII to Vitoria. In 1993 a co-op of gunsmiths and employees took over, opening a new factory in...

New GI 1911 I just noticed that nobody has mentioned this. The folks that first brought us the Thompson .45 subgun, Auto Ordnance-Thompson, have a really nice, about as identical to a WWII 1911 as you can get, .45ACP now. When they were owned by Numrich they put put some pretty crappy...

OK, Late in the game But I hadda put in my 2 cents worth about that reddogalaskan guy. I have no idea if his stuff is any good for the modern, more accurized 1911s, but for a real military gun, which, admittedly, has looser tolerances (which is why it's so dependable even when it's dirty), his...

Couldn't post it at UZI, they're strictly UZIs, and I couldn't find a link for posting anything anyway. I was able to put it on the legal messageboard at subguns. I hope I can get some accurate answers.

I don't think the original manufacturer would have been at fault. In this story, it was originally legal. It was made way before 1984. The idiot who chopped off the selector lug and sold it to someone as a semi auto is at fault, and at this point, God only knows who that was. If there was...

Sending it on Please do. But please point out to him that this is just a story, and that our hero is a US combat veteran retired on account of disability who also spent a few years as a law enforcement officer, who doesn't have a lot of money on his "fixed income", and that he bought the thing...

Receiver never existed? Depends on the gun, in a way. But with an M14, the receiver itself is what makes it a machine gun, according to the BATF. Or whatever they might call themselves now after the Homeland Security reshuffle of government agencies. The receiver being the machine gun, what...

Depends on 2 things. Private school or state run school? And what do your specific state's laws say? Owners (or the people in charge) of private property can always forbid firearms however they want. Most states even say in their laws that a CCW permit is not valid for private property where...

Let me tell you a story I'm writing. Once upon a time, a company, prior to 1984, made some M14 clones. They made their own receivers, then used 100% USGI parts, purchased from both the military and the original M14 makers, to build rifles. At some point after about SN 9000 or so, they started...

You just got caught in the bureaucracy. It's very easy to mess up manually done fingerprints (I know - I used to do them all the time for security clearance stuff in the Army). Many states now use a computerized scanning system, place the hand on a glass screen, push a button, the computer...

From what you said, you have a lot of trigger creep. A good gunsmith ought to be able to lessen that for you, and I'd guess that would help some.

federal ammo Well, it has exactly the same energy at the muzzle that I've seen specifically recommended for the M14.

The upper arc says "OFV 02" and the lower arc says "7.62 M80" I don't remember the model designation used by the US for the 7.62x51, which was used in both the M14 rifle and the M60 LMG, so it might well have been M80. However, this stuff is NOT US military ammo, I know that much. The gun...

Actual Ammunition I'm using a Nikon Monarch Club Primos 3-9x40 scope with a bullet drop compensator reticle. (I may have mentioned the scope before, but with a typo in it) One nice thing I discovered that I didn't know before is that the scope mount, at least the Weaver style, for an M14 is...

Federal Site Thanks, didn't even know Federal had a comparison thing on their site, I'll go look at it. From my experience, 300 yds IS about a typical shot for Elk around here. I'm using a Nikon Monarch Club Primos 3-9x48 scope with a bullet drop indicator in the reticle, and I THINK there...

Having been in love with the M14 since Basic Training in 1967, I finally got one, or the nearest available thing. It's an all USGI component rifle, built in the early '70s around an receiver manufactured by Federal Ordnance, designated an M14A, SN 3400, and mounted on an original M14 stock...

With the June 26 Supreme Court decision that the right to keep and bear is an individual's own constitutional right, there are automatically more restrictions on how government may regulate the carrying or firearms than there were previously. This kind of thing would have been a lot easier to...
