    Lama XI-A 9mm mag

    Anyone know if a standard 9mm 1911 magazine will work in a Lama? There is an on line auction selling quite a number of Jordanian military Lama 9mm, but no magazines are included. They look to be pretty close to 1911 design. These look to be going for minimal prices and may be well worth it if...

    Very sad, range closed

    I just received the notice that my favorite range, (a key club private range I have belonged to for 40 years) has been shut down. The original owner passed away and his daughter and son in law took it over. They had done some nice changes, fixing up the bench rests, adding larger expanses of...

    Hodgdon "Perfect Pattern" shotgun powder

    Has anyone used this powder yet? I just picked some for a trial. I did go to the Hodgdon website and did select a "Load" I want to use, (for local trap & skeet leagues). A 1 oz of #8 shot, and a 1235 fps using STS hulls and Claybuster wads. It looks like a # 25 Mec bushing should throw that...

    Humming Birds now gone?

    Here in the Midwest, my feeders have suddenly become vacant. Looks like they are on their long flight to Mexico/S America for the winter. Is this somewhat earlier than usual?

    When were the Pinned barrels doscontinued?

    Looking at a Mod "Correction, Mod 57", with a pinned barrel, but with an "N" s/n. Thinking this may still be eligible for C&R, which would be a ship date prior to 7/74.

    N Frame .327, 8 shot

    Just saw an article where Jerry Miculek was using this gun to set some kind of new record. It was described as a .327 Magnum, 8 round, with a red dot mounted. It mentioned that they planned to build for sale maybe 1500 of these.Good luck looking for one. Probably won't hit the distributors...

    617-6

    I finally got a picture taken of my 617-6 with the updates I had done. I have really enjoyed the 10 shot revolver, then put the red dot on it, and finally some grips that really fit my hand. Some complain about the newer (with lock) revolvers, but this one has been no problem, and equal to the...

    Mod 34-1 vs Mod 63-1

    After witnessing a Mod 63-1 selling for $1200 at a gun show yesterday, I was wondering about pricing for a 34-1. Same basic firearm, difference being Stainless vs Blued. I know, posts need pictures.

    Mod 41 problems

    A close friend has a Mod 41 that he bought back in the 80's and it was always a 100% functional tack driver. He drifted away from shooting, and the gun was set aside for over 20+ years. He recently got it out and it will not shoot but 1 or 2 rounds, then the hammer evidently follows the slide...

    It's that time of year. We've had corded leaf blowers for many years, but looking at cordless. I've heard good things about Ego brand. Can't seem to find real specs, (weight, is it multi speed or dialed variable?) How long do batteries take to recharge? We have small yard but a couple of...
