    Anyone have experience with Battery Assist Device?

    I installed one of these on my bushmaster AR15 shorty and it works great. Well worth the money, super easy to install and to be honest I can't find any reason why I never bought one sooner. Its amazing how something so simple can be so awesome. Not a close up but you can see it on my gun and I'm...

    What were some miltary S&W's???

    Question for the experts. What kind of S&W would my dad have carried in Vietnam? All I know for sure is that he carried a 38 revolver and he said it was a S&W. Also what were some other common S&W's used during the war times? Any pictures and input would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to...

    Any idea what an 1894 colt DA 38 is worth???

    Thanks for all the input. I am pretty sure I am going to pass on this gun. It looks really cool but its just in to rough of shape and is to much money.

    Any idea what an 1894 colt DA 38 is worth???

    Ok so a friend of mine has this really cool old colt. Its an 1894 colt DA in 38 special which I believe would be the first year of production, its nickel plated, and it has a very low serial number something like 539 I think? Anyways the finish is kind rough and he wants to get $500 for it. Is...

    Ever seen a colt double stamp?????

    I have no intentions of ever selling this gun. Funny enough if I were to try and sell it I already have several different people some of which have been hounding me to sell it. I just thought it was kind of interesting. If you notice the double stamp too its to completely different stampings. I...

    Beautifully Engraved/Inlaid 8.375" 29-2 With Ivories!

    WOW talk about awesome. To bad I like to shoot everything I own. I would be afraid to fire something that nice. You are a very lucky person to own something so awesome. I've always wanted a S&W 29. That one is too nice but I bet your proud owning it. I sure would be.

    WWII 1911 Questions??????

    Isn't that how we learn best from watching others, or asking questions or just plain and simple trial and error? Its always nice to be able to talk to others and share things that you love and enjoy.

    WWII 1911 Questions??????

    The frame is definitely a colt from around 1918. I got the gun cheap enough so I will probably just keep it and shoot it the way it is? But I suppose if I decided to upgrade anything this would be the gun to do it on. It may have already been upgraded? The barrel is a colt and looks to be...

    WWII 1911 Questions??????

    I am posting some 1911 pics if anyone has any information about the guns stampings or markings I would appreciate the feed back. I am glad I kept my colt combat commander and decided to buy my friends 1911 instead. Note the AA, the 13 and the 57 stamped on the trigger guard. Also there is...

    Ever heard of a National Ordnance m14 SA??????

    How did they test for hardness? Did this wreck or destroy the receiver? Also does magnafluxing wreck the finish or do any damage to the receiver? I might just have the receiver tested when I get the rifle if I can do so without doing any damage? Depending on how it works out I may just leave the...

    Ever heard of a National Ordnance m14 SA??????

    Thanks for the input. I haven't been able to find much info on these rifles. It appears national ordnance was more popular for there m1 carbines. I believe they may have actually been bought out by federal ordnance? I thought I remembered reading that some where??? Either way I always wanted an...

    Ever heard of a National Ordnance m14 SA??????

    Ok has anyone here ever heard of a National Ordnance m14 sa? I just bought one and they seem to be pretty scarce. From what I have read they made somewhere between 3 and 12 of these rifles. So I could very well own the last one in the world? National Ordnance has a history of making rifles with...

    WWII 1911 Questions??????

    If I was you I would just keep your gun the way it is. I'm sure you were probably joking, but if it belonged to your wifes dad its got sentimental value and if I was you I sure wouldn't want to mess with that. If you were serious though, I would consider it. I pick up the gun this weekend...

    WWII 1911 Questions??????

    I feel very blessed. Its getting to the point where its hard to find a decent 1911 new or used for under $600 that not a *** anymore. I have owned a few 1911's, a Llama, a Wyoming Arms Parker. None of which ever stayed very long because they had problems, needed repairs or didn't work properly...
