    Car Payments

    So I'm in the market for a newer car. Just retired my old one at 687,000 miles, it still runs fine but needed more work on the suspension than I was will to pay. Did all the work and maintenance myself - I kept that one so long that I deserve a nicer car now. However, I'm scared of all the...

    Educate me if you would please....

    A BUG implies you have primary carry piece, either concealed or not. Is this the case? If so, something small and lightweight, of which the S&W is better option. However, since this would be a last ditch resort, only needed if your primary carry gun malfunctions or you lose control of it, then...

    Price check on 6 inch 4th Model DA in .32 S&W

    I've been offered a DA 4th Model with a 6 inch barrel, nickel and in very good condition. What would be a fair price to me and the person wanting to sell it? Sadly, I don't have pictures, but the nickel is extremely good, probably redone at some point. The lettering looks factory, but the...

    Johnson M1941 - Sporterized by the Winfield Arms Corp.

    I've heard Winfield Arms Corp was at least partially a CIA front to both sell arms overseas and buy firearms from European manufacturers to keep them out of commies hands or at least keep the workers happy so they wouldn't turn to commies... Would love to see the history behind that, true or...

    My New 357, and why it matters.

    Very cool! I always liked the 77/whatever - even the 22. hornet I had that wouldn't group very well. I still have the 77/22 that my dad gave me as my first big .22 rifle and a 77/44 at SRT arms right now waiting for an integral suppressor.

    Props to Jack the Toad

    Had a good FTF transaction over a revolver with jack the toad, then he sold me some stocks for a different revolver through the mail. Good guy!

    Timepieces for special requirements

    My father gave me a Rolex Explorer II when I graduated high school, told me I never have a reason to be late. I've worn it daily ever since, and it's been through heck. I raced motocross with it, turn wrenches on vehicles and tractors, gut animals, hike, you name it, it's probably had it done...

    6GUNSONLY is a great person, excellent transaction

    I had mentioned a thread in which I had a rifle with an obsolete cartridge, and he offered to sell me some rare brass and dies for it. When I got the box, it was all there plus he compiled a bunch of reloading info and articles, as well as a handwritten note with suggestions of what has worked...

    Racoons got my pet duck

    Efile with a suppressor. Takes no time at all. I just bought one and even with having it shipped to my dealer, it still only took 8 days. Far cry from the old days of 6 to 12 months...

    FOUND: 4 screw Model 27 w/ 3.5 barrel to replace the one I had to sell

    I had a minty 4 screw 27 with a 3.5 barrel and diamond magnas which I had to sell during a period of hardship. Now that times are better, I am trying to replace the ones I was forced to sell. So, I am looking for a 98% or better blued Model 27 4 screw with a 3.5 barrel and correct magna stocks...

    A trio from depression era Colt perfection

    Does this count? Colt Camp Perry... I've posted this a few times, hope ya'll haven't seen it. If you have, I apologize for sending out the same stale photo as before. However, I love a good Depression era Colt and can't resist in participating.

    I thought the .40 caliber was dead?

    You guys need to stop defending the .40 Short and Weak... If they are undesirable and out of fashion, that means those of us who like the cartridge can buy them cheaper.

    Regrets...

    My father a few years ago sold some machine guns that he had bought back in the 80s because they were either duplicates or "too much work"..... Gone were an Uzi, and HK sear, and - this one hurts - a M2 .50 cal. I finally convinced him to not sell any others as they are just going to go up in...

    Overpressure signs on primers?

    It would help if the picture was in focus. But, as mentioned, you can't really tell by reading primers appearance. Stick with loading data from published sources and don't go to max load right off the bat.

    NEW HK P7s?

    I have a P7M8, if they reintroduce a M13 at a reasonable price (by H&K standards) and they are as well made as the originals, I would definitely buy one. Remember, H&K hates you.

    Any motorcyclists here?

    Former service manager at a motorcycle dealership here. Replace them. As mentioned, tires start aging as soon as they are produced, whether they are ridden or not. Lots of trade-ins with low miles on bikes that were 5 to 6 years old and we always put new tires on them for resale, no matter...

    H&R Self Loader keeps walking pin out..

    I took my H&R .32 Self Loader out the other day and was having some issues with the magazine, then the slide locked back because the pin that hold the barrel in place was preventing the slide from going forward. I got a brass punch and tapped it back into place, but it did it again after...
