      Had not poted her in years, but I had so much fun yesterday, I just had to share!

      That is not even a scratch in the surface. It would take a few days to see what is beneath the scratch. Now, I have two families up in years, perhaps four that want to will me their extensive collectioins. Their kids want nuthinh to to with em, So sad. Guns should be handed down from father to son.

      Had not poted her in years, but I had so much fun yesterday, I just had to share!

      I recently was overcome by a moment of weakness( OK, it was more like two months of weakness) & bought more pistols than my Jeep could carry. Even with the seats folded down, I had to make two trips, & now the ATF has their eyes on me. I collect martial arms with either a military or police...

      SOLD Thank you all

      Thanks BigV!:) Yes, I drove the 742 mile round trip to acquire the Model 52 Winchester. BigV's rig was the best deal going. I looked at three model 52's, two B's & one early model. While each one had both the grand irons(Redfield, Vaver or Marbles) & either a Unertl or Fecker scope, only one...

      Another Taurus Thread but with a poll :)

      While I like their autoloading pistols, the 44mag revolver I had did not pass muster. It got beat to hell with reduced power reloads!:eek3: I own the following & have had very good results with shooting these; PT38S in 38 super, sorta like a SIG & a Walther in one. PT1911 in 45 auto. Just...

      Whats a AK worth

      I have seen NIB Chinese Mak90's requiring $750 to $850 for purchase at recent gunshows. I don't know if any sold at that price. These are very good quality semi-auto AK style clones. The Chinese SKS's that take AK magazines are harder to find, & I recently sold mine for $450. These are...

      I hate corrosive ammo !

      Ever heard of GALVANIC CORROSION? That is when two dissimilar metals remain in constant contact with an electrolyte present(Dirt & water) in a humid environment. Not good Larry. Not good at all. Why Thank You, BayouTrigger!:) Like member my-rifle says; Water is the solution for washing...

      I hate corrosive ammo !

      Most old European ammo used potassium chlorate in the berdan primer. The berdan primers have two tiny flash holes for better ignition than one large flash hole. The potassium chlorate must last a long time, as I shoot surplus ammo from the 1920's & 1930's that still shoot like new ammo. The...

      AR-10 or M1-A

      I own both of these type rifles. AR10 is more modern & easier to disassemble for cleaning. More do-dads tend to cling to it, & barrel/uppers are quick & easy to change. A VERY versatile platform. Bull barrels are very accurate. The M1A is classic & traditional, but will require tools & some...

      Was: .22LR recommendations Now: WTB Ruger 10/22

      I had bought one of those when they first came out last year. I could not get it to group under six inches at 25 yards with CCI Green Tag ammo or cycle with anything other than high velocity ammo. I have given up all of my semi-auto 22's in favor of bolt guns. I have much more control with bolt...

      Rust inside barrel

      Are you sure it is rust? Copper fouling near the muzzle is of the same reddish color as rust. I like to use Sweets 7.62 to remove copper. You can soak a patch with it, run it down the bore & let it sit. Run a nylon(not brass or copper) bristle brush down the bore several times to loosen the...

      Is There A 7.62x39 to 7.62x51 Adapter???

      There are small companies that make chamber adapters for different calibers. I remember reading some posts about these small machine shop operations but never did follow through for more information. I just have no interest in chamber adapters. I guess you can "google" chamber adapters.

      TT-33 Tokarev

      Hmmm. Do you know if you were using 9mm specific magazines or regular Tok mags designed for the longer 7.62x25 round? Mags designed for the 9mm should have a filler block pinned inside the magazine to restrict movement of the shorter 9mm round. Were you shooting ball or hollow point bullets?

      OMG! The knockdown power in a CQB must be AWESOME! Thanks for sharing that. I gotta get a 50AE barrel for my XIX.

      Opinions on Taurus 1911

      I don't post often, but when I do, I usually have something meaningful to contribute based on firsthand experience. I do not post comments based on rumor or a sales brochure. I can only comment on the firearms I have actually owned & used, & when slickcdb2000 asked for guidence concerning a...

      Opinions on Taurus 1911

      I have owned & used ARMSCORP 1911 style pistols made in the Philippines that were marketed under the Charles Daly & High Standard trade names, & I still own one of the early Taurus PT1911 pistols. The ARMSCORP pistols are cast, have rough casting & machine marks on the interior surfaces & have...

      M1A vs AR-10

      I have DPMS LR308, Springfield Armory M1A1 NM, PTR-91 Perimeter rifle, & a L1A1 FAL. ALL are FANTASTIC RIFLES! I would suggest the M1A1 or the PTR-91 as the next companion to your AR10.

      TT-33 Tokarev

      I have two of them. A Polish version in 7.62 & a Chinese in 9mm. Both feel better in my hand than the Czech 52, & perform just as well. I would recommend the Polish & Yugoslavian versions first, as these seem to be of the higher quality, while the Russian & Chinese are second tier, with the...

      Looter gun

      Already had that happen. I showed my unwelcome guests they had arrived at the wrong house long after curfew. The WASR firing in the darkness was enough to convince them to leave quickly. I fired into a fallen tree at a 90 degree angle to where my visitors were.
