    Any locksmiths on the forum?

    After numerous phone calls and email exchanges I've come to the conclusion that the S&G electronic lock on my safe is kaput. Local lock and safe guys have quoted around $500 to crack the safe and replace the lock, does this sound like a reasonable price? I'm seriously considering having it...

    First time shooter

    My youngest never displayed an interest in shooting and I never pushed it. When she was home for the holidays she asked to go so I packed up a few shootin' irons and away we went. She took instruction well and enjoyed shooting, making me swear to take her again the next time she comes home. I...

    Why no 2" M13's or M65's?

    Considering the popularity of 2" 10's and 64's why do you suppose S&W never produced 2" 13's and 65's? They would make a great carry piece...

    Gander Mountain advertised 550 round boxes of Remington .22 lr on sale in last Sunday's paper, the special was valid today only. I got there a half hour before opening and a line had already formed in front of the store. I thought to myself there is no way that everyone waiting in line could be...

    Fair price for "flat latch" Model 38

    I'm considering the purchase of an Airweight Bodyguard with about 90% finish, flat latch and decent, correct appearing diamond stocks. I don't know if they number to the gun or not. The B/C gap and lock-up are good. Considering the finish wear does $350 sound like a fair offer?

    Newly Proposed Minnesota Gun Control Legislation

    So much for "nobody wants to take away your guns". Pending legislation in Minnesota would require owners of certain types of firearms and accessories to register, dispose of (sell out of state) or surrender for destruction items outlined in the bills. Conviction for noncompliance will result in...

I will have to contact the buyer with shipping cost because the $15 shipping cost in the auction was based upon rates for shipping within the continental US, to France the shipping is $45+...

    5906 value

    A coworker approached me this morning to ask what a 5906 was worth. Being a revolver gut I don't really follow the semi auto market. He has a chance to buy a 5906 with 2 mags for $375, is that a fair price? The seller is a private party so there's no tax, transfer fee, etc...

    Got a free safe today

    One of my family members is in the process of moving and no longer needs the gun safe that he used to store his stamp and coin collections. I explained to my better half that we should buy more guns to fill it up but she won't go along with my idea. Since I already have a quality safe for...

    Attempted gun theft at the range today

    Some friends and I went shooting for about an hour today. When we were packing up to leave, Benny asked if I picked up his Model 64 by mistake. I checked my bag and it wasn't in there so we checked the table behind the firing line where our range bags sat while we were shooting. Benny found his...
