Suggestion would be to call S&W direct. They may be able to assist you with that.

I was hoping for input on a stock for my Remington 700. Back to the internets......

I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the ported model. I've got a couple of other handguns that are ported and the complaint of muzzle flash is complete junk. I've seen no noticeable difference in sighting due to the flash in near dark drills. They do take a little extra to clean, but that's part...

Very nice indeed. I'm going to have to try that at the range.

I was a transplant living in Nola until Katrina came. Used that as the excuse to get the heck out and now live in Arizona. Just handled a 2.0 a couple of days ago. It will be home with me very soon.

Sadly, not so interesting given the interesting times we live in. Good on the good samaritan for jumping in and taking care of business the way that he did. Definitely one for the good guys.

Alabama Fan here. Congratulations to your Tigers. Well played and deserved.

You're getting all of the expected responses. Suffice to say that I 'try' to be correct but as I age, it becomes a bit more difficult. I don't do text speak and try to stay away from any and all slang. It's one of the few things that I can still control.

I had a pretty good collection of handguns and rifles until recently. Still own a number of handguns. My dad became ill 1700 miles away and we didn't have the funds to make the trip back to help out. Through a variety of local resources we sold a number of the guns to fund the trip. Long...

Funny how that seems to happen!

After reading this thread I didn't see that anyone mentioned arpartsfiner. It's a pretty good site that has a running inventory for many of the pieces that you'll be looking for. Like others have said, prices have come down so you'll be very hard pressed to build one cheaper than you can by a...

Cool! I've always wanted to own a vintage car. My Shield is just fine with the thumb safety. Guess I'll start driving it to work.

I haven't received my copy yet but look forward to reading that one. I'm also getting an extra large tub of popcorn. Should be interesting!

Mine has a safety, but I don't use it. In essence, it's a safety-less Shield. I wonder what the MSRP will be on the new model and if the price will drop for the model with a safety after it's released.

My wife is extremely recoil resistant. Just doesn't like it. However, I've gotten her to shoot the 9mm handguns I have and she has fallen in love with the Shield. I have't surrendered mine yet, but I've promised another for the next pistol purchase. She'll get the broken in Shield and I'll...
