BTT with new items.

Supply (or scarcity) is only half of the equation. Demand is also required to create value. The plague is scarce, but that doesn't mean I want it. People seem to want the 6.5" because of the "classic" appeal. Some say it balances better, but I don't feel much difference. Then again, I...

These are non-diamond grips from the mid 1970's. There is a small dent (not a chip) at the top of the horn on the RH grip, and a small scratch at the bottom of the same grip. Both flaws are visible in the pictures. I'm asking $100, or best offer. The knife is a Spyderco Viele 2. It has...

Yes. They also have modified magna grips. Yours has standard magnas, but I suspect they might be original. Are they numbered to the gun?

These are stamped 278770, so they should be from about 1975/1976. (Don't have my book handy right now though.) I appreciate all the replies.

I'm cleaning out the safe and I have a set of M-58 grips. They are from the 70's (non-diamond). I got them on a very early M-58 and have since replaced them with period correct grips. How much should I ask for these? Thanks!

I have a hard time choosing between "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "The Shootist".

Check out the "Four-String Farmhouse" at www.umgf.com. There's much more information there than I can provide. I too am a BG player, mandolin and guitar. All I know about the tenor guitars is that they are tuned in 5ths and if you play mandolin or fiddle, you can adapt pretty easily. Also...

G-17 with night sights - otherwise stock. It is light weight, has no pointy parts, holds 17 124 grain +P, and works more consistently than any auto I've ever owned. What's not to love? (Doesn't mean I'll ever give up my 1911's though.) Todd

Reverse mortgage - the work of the Devil. Just my opinion. Todd

I was thinking the same thing. Todd

Only black powder cartridges used balloon head cases. Magnums were made for use with smokeless powder and never utilized balloon head cases. I wasn't there in 1935, but I suspect that the counterbore was more about what MIGHT happen - an engineer's CYA design feature. It is still a good...

I've got a Les Paul like that one. Mine's a little more faded though. My dad was the original owner. The receipt said he bought it in November of 1959. Is it worth anything? JUST KIDDING! Seriously though, you've got a nice gaggle of Gibsons there. I'm not much of an electric player...
