      Seeing Stars

      Here are two of my Model B Stars. The one on the right is a 1943 production German military contract gun. After the war it found its way into a German state police unit. The one on the left was produced in 1955 for the Civilian market. Both found there way to the US before 1968 as neither...

      Paid for Twice

      In 1943 Germany ordered 60,000 Astra Model 600 pistols chambered in 9mm for the German Military. Designated by the Germans as the model 600/43, shipments began in May 1944 with a total of 10,450 guns delivered in three shipments by July before the allied invasion of Southern France cut off...

      When in Texas...

      I moved to Texas in February. Plates for my car. Check. Driver's License. Check. EZ toll pass. Check. Appropriate leather for a 1930 Colt... Um, okay? But I'm not getting a horse nor spurs.

      Another reason why I like C&R

      Every now and again you find a "story book" gun. A gun you hold in your hands and immediately wonder "where the hell have you been?". I'm not speaking of the ones that spent the last 80 years sitting in a box on a shelf remaining in 'as new' or in a transit chest in some armory still...

      Oh No! Reluctantly crossing over to the Dark Side....

      I'm a Sig Guy. Specifically the P series. P210, 220, 226, P6, GSR, Hammerli. I'm a 9mm & .45 guy. And I'm a Steel gun guy, the only concession I've made is a USP Tactical. Then this POS shows up in my stocking. And it shoots pretty good, although the short reset trigger takes a bit of...

      WTS: Walther KKJ .22lr Repeater Rifle with Leupold

      A beautiful 1962 vintage Walther KKJ .22lr repeater rifle with a Leupold 4x scope. Bluing is 98%+. The original walnut stock is in excellent condition with minor handling marks. The original finish on the stock could use freshening in places, but overall presents very well. These...

      A 1957 production Belgian Browning Auto .22 Grade III for sale in Shreveport. Includes contemporary factory hard case. Unlike some others of this make and grade presently for sale on the internet or sold at recently completed auctions, this particular rifle has been shot and has light...

      Tikka T3 Tactical or Sig SSG 3000 ? or...?

      Looking at a new .308 gun. They're selling SSG 3000 at Walmart for about what you'd expect to pay for a T3 Tactical .308. Which way would you go, or would you pick something else entirely, and why?

      WTS: Armalite AR-10 Super SASS

      This is a fairly early factory Armalite Super SASS of the type built to compete for the United States military Semi-AutoLoading-Sniper-System contract. This contract was eventually awarded to the SR-25 in no small part due to logistic considerations as opposed to any performance deficit...

      Old School

      Sometimes in the field of C&R it's possible to track the evolution of a particular mark right up to the present day. There aren't a lot of firearms out there that were so perfectly designed from the outset that they've remained substantially unaltered for 6 decades or longer, let alone survived...

      Junkie old Cowboy Gun Part II

      Took the junkie old S&W DA .44 to the Bossier gun show today to see if it would bring more than the sum of its parts. Within the hour it cleared above the sum of its parts plus the little Browning designed Trombone Winchester .22. A model 1906, manufactured 1911. It was an improved and more...

      C&R Selling Pet Peeves

      I probably spend too much time on Gun Broker, Guns America, Auction Arms, etc., looking through ads and often bidding or buying (and selling), firearms. Perhaps the most annoying descriptor a seller uses is "good condition for its age" First. What the heck does that mean? For...

      I upgraded my P226 I bought new in 1989 the only way that made sense to me... adding an X5.

      Sporterizing a WWI Gewehr 98

      Sometimes sporterizing an old military rifle is not such a bad thing. Take, for instance, this one produced by the Royal Prussian Arsenal at Erfurt immediately after WWI. The arsenal rebuilt quite a few into sporters using GEW98 rifles until it was shut down by the allies' disarmament...

      Looking for a recommendation on a gunsmith NW Louisiana

      Hello all, I'm looking for a gunsmith to do stock inletting and bedding work in the Shreveport area. Specifically, I have a McMillan M40a1 cut for a Winchester hinged floorplate and I'm looking to install an FNH TBM. The stock is cut for a 70SA and some additional clearancing is required...
