    Decided to buy a Turkiye made shotgun...not bad for the price.

    Vance Outdoors has the Gforce GFBP1220 12GA bullpup on sale for $199. These are the same as all the other bullpups coming out of there, but with a few less options. I didnt expect much out of it, but was pleasantly surprised. Of course, I had to run about 100 rounds of 1400fps ammo to break...

    Printing my own parts...

    I decided to 3D print my own forward handstop after altering a file of one I found online. This fits my hand much better than the two I was given and one that I paid for. It's much more comfortable. I printed it with a carbon fiber filament and at a higher infill, giving it strength, impact...

    Added optics and dialed them in...

    Before Christmas, I bought the Sig Sauer ROMEO-MSR and JULIET3 combo they had at Cabela's. Between the military discount and the fact that I bought the display model, I ended up with 40% off list price. Not too shabby... I installed them the other day, and got to the range today. This is 100...

    My first M&P15

    Was out and about yesterday, and came across this barely shot Sport II at a buddy's house. He bought it a few years back, fired maybe 300 rounds, and moved on to a custom build. I paid $450 for it as it sits. I've got a Colt and a CMMG version, but this is the first M&P15. I'll go through our...

    Pre Model 10...help me please

    I'm a semi-automatic guy, generally, so bear with me please. I have what appears to be a pre-Model 10 K frame revolver. It's a hand ejector 5 screw with strain screw and fixed sights. The serial number is long gone...I've looked on the butt and front strap, and removed the wood thinking that...

    Model 39 no dash here...

    I buddy of mine's father was recently taken to the hospital...it's not good for him. My buddy was called in to clear his father's collection of coins and firearms. With him knowing nothing about firearms other than how to shoot them, he called me in to handle the collection. In the...

    Now that S&W owns Taylor Brands...

    ...Do you think we'll see the repatriation of Schrade branded knives? I've been a collector of Schrade USA knives for some time, and have a growing collection of Imperial and other former US company knives. I love working with the older Imperials, because the blades and springs are made of...

    Just purchased an intersting knife...

    Mervin Masters was an old guy that lived in Northern Kentucky, and out of boredom and enjoyment, he would gather up old files and turn them into some fine looking folding knives. I remember back in 1984 or 85, going to what I believe was the Bill Goodman's Gun and Knife show in Cincinnati with...

    Citadel 1911 Full Size

    I picked one of these up a few weeks ago on Bud's for $443, and feel like I stole it at that price. The only real complaint I had about it was the stock grip panels, which were easily swapped out for darker wood. So far, 1100 rounds into it, and the gun is great. I swapped out the factory...

    Galloway Precision recoil spring assembly

    Anyone else swap out their plastic rod and stock spring for the Galloway Precision assembly? I went with the polished stainless rod and standard 17lb spring, and really like how it feels. The first thing I noticed was that it was easier to put the slide assembly together. The tail of the...

    SW9ve versus the SD9VE

    Thinking about adding the SD to my arsenal... I love my SW9VEs, all three of them shoot great. Not having actually shot the SD, what's the main difference in handling?

    SW9VE trigger springs...

    I picked up another SW9VE, used, since I love my first one so much, and the price was hard to pass up...$175, with two 16 rd mags. Like I said...I couldn't pass up the price. Anyway, the dipwad that I bought it from said he "performed the trigger trick" and screwed it up. After getting it...

    New member...western PA

    I just wanted to stop a moment and introduce myself. Hello I recently picked up a Sigma, slightly used for cheap. It's not near as bad as Glock owners claim it is. I enjoyed shooting it this afternoon...nice shooting pistol. This isn't my first, or last S&W...I have a 915 that I've used for...
