    Is the Slide fire going to be history?

    Definitely. I thought the same thing when they mentioned tripods (but maybe they were actually bi-pods and the media just doesn't know the difference...?). The last I've read was that he had 23 or so guns in the room, 12 with bump-fire stocks. Nothing I've read has mentioned which weapons...

    52-1 Hammer Follow

    Just an update - gave it a good cleaning and inspection. Everything appears to be normal... Still unable to reproduce the problem.

    52-1 Hammer Follow

    Hi guys, So, this thread seems to describe a very similar (maybe identical) issue that I'm having. Shooting today (this is the first time it's happened), two or three times during a 60 round session (I can't remember which, but it was definitely no more than 3, I want to say 2), the hammer...

    Was There Ever an N Frame 45ACP with 1 7/8"bbl?

    My dad has one of those - pretty nice gun.

    Love For the Ruger GP-100

    I used to have one - I miss it. I think I might be in the market for another one in the next month or two.

    Professional Gun Cleaning?

    It's just like anything else - some people don't care to do the maintenance or don't know how to. If they'd rather pay someone to do it for them instead of just learn to do it themselves, who are we to say they're wrong? Some people change their own oil, some people take their car to the...

    What do all you dads expect for Father's Day?

    I plan on cooking some steaks on the grill, and that is good enough for me. I did just order a few things from Midway though, a case tumbler (can you believe that I've been reloading for about 15 years and have never owned one before), and a few other odds & ends - that would make a perfect...

    Photo bucket

    I haven't been here long enough to notice, but Flickr recently changed - basically, all the stuff you had to pay for before, you get for free now. 1TB of free storage, I think.

    Hi Guys!

    Thanks again everyone! This M52-1 is my only S&W firearm (for now), but that might change soon, haha. I do need a new .357... Something like a M586 may be just what I need. I've sold too many of my guns (and I regret each one)... Currently, other than the M52-1, I have a Glock 22, Ruger...

    Casting: the new drug

    I've been wanting to get into casting for a while, but never have. I think I'll start ordering everything I need this week.

    Beware Extended Warranties Waste Of Money

    Only once have I had an extended warranty pay off. (I don't buy them anymore.) I think the big thing that people don't consider on extended warranties is that they are often (not always) transferable. Manufacturer warranties are, from what I've seen, never transferable - they apply to the...

    Hi Guys!

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

    Hi Guys!

    ...What I'm worried about with showing the serial number is that someone could claim that it was stolen. Not sure if they would have to actually prove that they owned it, or if just knowing the make, model, and S/N would be all they need. Which leads me to another question - I have a few guns...

    Hi Guys!

    Sure! (I cloned out the S/N because I'm paranoid, lol. Not sure if that is justifiable or not (the paranoia).) That's probably the best picture I have of it for right now.

    Hi Guys!

    Hello, everyone. I recenty inherited a Model 52-1, and this forum has been coming up a lot in my searches for questions I had about it (which are all pretty much answered now, haha), and it looked like a good forum, so I figured I'd join. As far as the M52-1, it looks great and I can't wait to...
