I need a narrow tenon front sight for a 70 Series GC,

Thirty or so years ago a friend gave me 3 small maple trees. He had bought several for his house and had these left over. I planted 2 in my back yard and 1 in the front. One of the 2 died several years ago, but the other thrived and provided shade for a new patio that was my wife's retirement...

My standard load has been 5.0 grains for many years. The recoil is starting to bother my wrist. I loaded 100 rds with 4.5 and they seemed to work ok and the brass didn't go far. How low can I go with the gun continuing to function properly?

Happy birthday to Tennexplorer (Burt) today. I hope you have a great day!!!!!

I have a Lyman 6932 caliper for a reloader in need. I was just given a new Lyman steel set, so no longer have a need for the plastic one. I have used it for many years without any problems. Indicate if you are interested and I will pick a winner Saturday morning.

221 years ago this week, the Corps of Discovery left St Louis to find a water way to the Pacific and to see what we had just bought from the French. Approximately 40 men traveled to the Pacific and back. If you have not read about their journey, I strongly recommend it.

I opened a Federal 550 round Value Pack and got a surprise. About half of the rounds are Remington Golden Bullets and the rest appear to be Federal. I have no idea as to how long I have had the box, but the sticker says I paid $9.00 for it.

I have American Handgunner issues from 2023. There is Jan-Feb, Mar-April, Sep-Oct and Nov-Dec. Also have Jan-June of 24. That is a total of 7 magazines. All are in good shape and full of interesting stuff. All I ask is you pay the postage. First come, first serve and you may pick and choose...

Our beloved Tiffany left us this morning. She had been diagnosed with lymphoma 7 months ago. She went through a chemo treatment with the hope the cancer would go into remission. It did, but only for a very short time. She was in pretty good shape until today. We had already decided we would not...

There is a very large gun store about 40 miles away from me. On Monday, my on call job took me there. I had decided I need another alloy frame 9mm 1911. While in transit, I called the store and asked if they had what I was looking for. The young lady who answered the phone said they had an SA...

I joined here when the internet was still relatively new. I was at a site called Shooters and Smithnut told me about this place. Since then I have joined the SWCA, attended several symposiums, met some great people, bought and sold some Smiths and had a great time. I even finally got to meet...

Here is an interesting video for us Bond fans. It shows 3 other guns in the movie that should have been the PPK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XzZBCJDPr8

I can't find my original set of numbers. but I do have a record of loading my 5,000th round in January of 1986. I have never been a competitive shooter, just a plinker. Most all were 200 grain lead SWC's with a few round nose for variety. Most of the powder was 231 with a small bit of Unique and...

I just opened a bulk case of CCI/Speer 9mm I bought a couple of years ago. Since it is loose rounds, I thought I would put it in some of the plastic boxes I have. I thought it best to identify the ammo in case I forget or someone else finds it after I am gone. On the box is a bar code and a...

I just got back from my annual pheasant hunt in SD and stayed at 2 Holiday Inn Express locations. Neither would accept cash for payment. The first one told me the manager didn't like to have to take money to the bank. The second said they didn't trust their employees. So it went on the credit...

My wife met up for coffee in Strasbourg this morning with our friends Daniel and Alex. It is the 2nd time she has met up with them while river cruising. They visited our house several years ago after the Kansas City meeting.

I was at the range yesterday and when picking up my brass, I noticed one of the headstamps was ECS 42. That thing is 5 years older than I am and looks to be in pretty good shape. I have no idea how long I have had it or where I got it. It is now officially retired.

All of our lives changed, the Russians launched a 185 pound sphere named Sputnik. It had a 1 watt transmitter and broadcast a radio signal for 21 days until it's batteries died. Many of us heard the beep beep on tv or the radio as it flew through space. It burned up in the earth's atmosphere...

I have a number of Lux Pro brand lights, but can't seem to find any new ones. I am looking for a single AA light.
