I found a good deal on a Brazilian M1917 but unfortunately it has a badly pitted side plate. Everything else is good mechnically and finish wise. I read somewhere that any pre-war N frame sideplate would work on it. I am a S&W newbie so any info I can get on where to find the part and how much...

Well I finally got my MEUSOC Replica back and it turned out better than I could have expected! I have a couple poorly done pics (camera is not so great) but here is the lowdown. I built it based on Pat Roger's article, Dave Berryhill's version and what I gleaned from the internet. It started...

I have a bunch of extra Norinco 1911 parts (grip saftey, trigger sear, springs etc) from a customization I had done. Do these parts have any value or should I pretty much junk them? Thanks!

I am getting ready to take a tactical rifle course. We need our own rifle/ carbine and a handgun as well. I plan on taking my M4gery but I am torn between taking my 1911 or M9 w/me. The reason is that I am in an National Guard MP unit and we are issued M4s and M9s, but I just plain enjoy...

My Norinco based MEUSOC 1911 replica is almost complete. A problem arose with the feed ramp on the frame. The previous owner had apparently decided to do the typical dremel feed ramp polish and over did it. My smith was able to do Tuner's trick of smoothing the bottom of the throat back at an...

I bought a copy of the Army Times after seeing a huge front page picture of a 45ACP round and bold letters discussing the Army ditching the M9 and going to 45ACP. Did anyone else read this article? It pretty much stated that the Army is looking at a 45 ACP with 1) a manual safety 2) light rail...

I have what I believe to be a defective M4 CAR stock. When I thread it into my lower and it is adequately positioned to hold the retaining pin and spring for the buffer it protrudes very slightly into the lower, such that I cannot pin the upper in. The upper fits fine with the stock off and I...

Best Norinco 1911 Upgrades for under $100 I am having my Norinco worked on by a very reputable smith. Other than a minor buggered feed ramp (which is fixable) she said it shoots real nice. So far I have had the following done: Feed Ramp polished/issue fixed Very minor dehorn (frame clean up)...

I found an excellent like new 3rd Gen Glock 17C for sale at a local Gander Mountain for $350.00. It comes with 2 ten round mags only. Is this a pretty good deal? I would have preferred a standard 17 or 22 but it seems kinda hard to pass up. Thanks!

I have a pre-owned SIG P225 with a condition code on the box sticker of b-1. I have also heard of codes b-3 which sounds like a lower condition from the description of the SIG. Does anyone know what all the codes are and their definitions? Thanks!

I have looked all over for one of these. All I can find are flat serrated without the loop or flat smooth/checkered with the loop. Does anyone have any suggestions as to who might make one? I tried Smith & Alexander already and they were a no go. If I have to settle for a smooth or checkered...

I am applying for my C&R. I have the form, a fingerpint card and a certification of citizenship form. According to the C&R form I need to send copy 1 and payment to them and provide a copy to my local law enforcement agency. Do I need to send in my fingerprints and the citizenship certification...

Hello, I am looking to assemble a FAL. I have found Imbel receievrs, but not a lot of FAL kits. Can someone recommend a good place to order a kit and what to look for? Thanks!

I face a dilemma. I am interested in upgrading my Springfield GI ww mil spec to MEU clone status. I have an excellent smith who has helped me work out the costs and parts (Kings parts and everything) needed. To get this 1911 upgraded will run around $900 to $1000. For that much I can buy a brand...

I am switching back to 9mm for CCW and have narrowed my choices down to a SIG P225 or HKP7/PSP. I believe both to be excellent pistols. The HK is about $150 more than the SIG. Is it that much better? Both feel great, but I have only shot the P225. If you had to choose between the two for CCW...
