    100th Anniversary Colt 1911

    OK....... time to have some most excellent fun here. How would you spend the amount of $$ of the winning bid? There is only ONE rule in this game; you can only spend it on firearm(s). This could go all the way from 1 (one) decent British double express rifle to slightly over 100 (one hundred)...

    small axe for hunting/camping

    Though long out of business, Norlund made axes and hatchets of incredible steel. I have one of their camp hatchets, Hudson Bay pattern head, which I picked up at a yard sale for the mind boggling sum of 50 centavos some thirty years ago........... can't beat 'em. Isher Addendum: just found...

    Mamertine - Here's a precis of Shackleton's life and expeditions with bibliography at the end. F.A. Worseley's books are a good place to start. Isher

    Most accurate sub $1,000 carry/combat pistol?

    The CZ97B, although a fullsized weapon, is out of its scary little mind accurate right out of the box. For $625 NIB. No competition that I know of until you get waaay North of a G. Isher

    Mile-Per-Second Cartridge: Is it possible?

    Here's the aforementioned railgun project: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/12/10/5626100-railgun-shot-heard-round-the-world Makes firearms as we know them kinda seem like gnats on God's windshield. Isher

    Information on a Winchester Model 67

    Mine is a 67A, though with a 20" barrel, purchased by my Grandfather way back when. It is a sweet, accurate little shooter with a very light trigger, affectionately nicknamed "Ratgun". I would never sell it, as it has gone through three generations and #4 is growing like a weed. Isher

    Favorite Modern Battle Rifle: Beside AR or AK

    I see the '58 crew is emerging from the lurking fog.......... Here is a marvelous vid put out by CZUSA for all you nonbelievers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PqAk-qianA&NR=1 And no, in no way do I represent nor am I an agent for CZUSA; I just happen to think the '58 represents all...

    Choices Choices

    Owning both flavors of CZ's, I go with the 75 for everyday carry. It is true that the 97 is big and heavy, but I do occasionally carry it OWB without discomfort. The awful truth is that I consistently shoot the 97 better than my 9's. It is just something else accurate. It is spooky to think...

    Semi-Auto or Revolver in Freezing Vehicle During the Winter?

    Getting back to the OP's original question .......... This is secondhand knowledge from the old Arctic and Antarctic hands. However, it is commented upon often enough in their journals that I'll pass it on. Condensation from being moved from cold to hot to cold again is an equipment killer...

    CZ 75B or 75BD; Safety vs. Decocker?

    Dang. Where's Shakespeare when we need him? That's all that is lacking here......... ah. From The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act V Scene V (spoken by Macbeth hisself) Only to say I've got CZ's with decockers, and CZ's with safeties. Use 'em both, like 'em both, both are mechanically reliable...

    Shoulder Holsters: Let's Talk.

    Packman - Like you, "I have to stand up twice to make a shadow" (6'2''/165#). Living in SW Fla., I'd say you are close to out of luck, because a shoulder rig really does require an outer garment. However........... when I was living in Tampa, I wore a light Columbia Sportwear vest over my CZ...

    Another concealed carry poll. Opinions please?

    I'll probably get thoroughly castigated for this, but to me the .40 S&W is a classic example of the definition of a compromise (between the 9mm and the .45 ACP), "a thing with the disadvantages of both and the advantages of neither". I just have never cottoned to that cartridge. That being...
