    Colt SAA gunsmith in Tennessee or Kentucky

    I have a Bisley that is quite well worn. I'd like to get it back in good working order, but would much prefer to hand deliver it rather being at the mercy of shipping companies. Anybody know of a capable gunsmith who is knowledgeable of the workings of the old Colts?

    Judicial Commissioner

    This may just be a Tennessee thing, but the forum here has someone who is knowledgeable about most everything imaginable. I live in a rural county, and they are now taking applications for this position. I retired recently, but would like to eventually find something else to do. Would this...

    My first attempt at a flap holster...

    ...and my first attempt at lacing. You'll notice an extra hole. I grossly mis-estimated where the snap should go. I found it difficult to discern the desired shape and size of the flap. Your critiques, criticisms, and suggestions are more than welcome. I think this is how we improve. Thanks...

    Retired today....now what?

    I was first eligible to retire today, and it didn't take long to decide to take them up on this offer. I've worked every day since I was big enough to be helpful. I guess I didn't think this through. I know I'm headed to the lake tomorrow, and taking the wife to the beach next week, but then...

    Another what is it

    My wife asked me what this was mounted on the board. I have no idea. It was hanging on the wall at a Cracker Barrel. I told her to snap a pic of it. I knew some guys who could tell us. Don't let me down!:D

    44 Special question

    I just acquired my first 44 Special. Since cases are out of stock everywhere, would there be any problems cutting 44 magnum cases to the proper length? I have a bunch of Hornady 44 mag cases that are for some reason shorter than normal 44 mag cases, but still a bit longer than 44 Special trim to...

    USFA 44 Special Questions

    I purchased this 4-3/4" 44 Special today. It is a beautiful firearm. It is odd in the fact it's former owner's signature is engraved on the backstrap. I believe this was factory done because it's serial number is his initials with a 1 at the end. I believe this gentleman was a business owner...

    Starline backorder

    Anybody got an idea how long the wait is for an order from Starline? I just ordered some 45 Colt, and it was listed as "backordered".

    Colt Horse Pistol Special Edition

    I stumbled across this yesterday for what I thought was a good price. It is supposed to be a Colt Horse Pistol Special edition. It is chambered in 45 Colt and has a 7.5' barrel. The only differences I can find between it and a standard 3rd gen SAA is that it has a gold Colt emblem on top of the...

    Yet another Remington Rand thread

    I feel bad about walking all over F4 phantom's thread about his Remington Rand 1911a1, so I'm starting a new one. I still don't have much of a clue what I'm looking for, but I bought one today. It appears to me to have the correct frame, barrel, and slide for a 1944 vintage Remington Rand...

    Grip screw and escutcheon *FOUND*

    I bought a nice pair of grips for a heavy frame target 22 on here from another member, and now I need a grip screw and escutcheon to complete them. I bought a junk set of j frame grips to rob these items from, but unfortunately, they were too large. I have other I/J frame grips with the proper...

    22/32 Heavy Frame Target Factory Grips

    I bought an HFT a while back with Stags, and I sure would love to have a set of factory grips for this revolver. They don't have to be perfect. I know it's a long shot, but it never hurts to ask.:D

    Question for the Harley guys

    My son brought home a pretty nice 04 Low Rider this week. It has the 88ci Evo engine. My question is that this bike, while riding at highway speeds, occasionally has a hesitation in running. It is more noticeable when the engine is cold, but improves as the engine warms up, but doesn’t...

    01 Silverado BCM reset

    I replaced the ABS control module on my son's truck today. The instructions said to disconnect the battery. When I reconnected the battery, the gas gauge was pointing straight doen and the truck will crank, but immediately shuts off. As it will not communicate with my code scanner, I expect it...
