I just discovered this guy on my front porch. I guess he's hunting tree frogs. Anyone have an idea what kind of snake this is? Location is Central Florida.

I have been playing with my new .410 Bore MEC 8567N Grabber for the last couple of days and have decided that I really like it! :) I purchased this unit about a month ago, so it came with the updated priming system (no chain linkage anymore) and plastic instead of wood operating handle. The...

I purchased this new 9mm 1911 in December of last year. It came from the factory with a single sided safety. I replaced that safety with a new KIMBER Pinned Ambidextrous Safety. The only other thing I needed to do to make this gun perfect was to replace the way overpowered mainspring with a...

Back on the 13th of December 2024 I posted a thread on a new Series 70 Colt .45 ACP and mentioned that I had also recently purchased two 1911s chambered for 9mm. Here is a link to that thread...

This was the ship I came to the U.S.A. on ca. 1961. uss buckner 1961 to germany - Search I have a few memories of the Atlantic crossing but had to ask my mother if she knew the name of the ship our family traveled on from Germany to New York. Mom is 92 but she remembered the ship! :)

I sold all my race guns around 1997 but was able to purchase this one from my brother in 2007. It's a Caspian 6 1/2" comp gun with hard chrome finish. The gun was built by Mike Watkins of Lubbock, TX and has been sitting on a shelf in pieces from 2007 to just a couple of days ago when I...

I recently purchased a set of stocks from goatsnguns that were offered in answer to my WTB posting. Gary offered great photos via email and great communication throughout the entire transaction. The stocks arrived in excellent condition and were packaged better than anything I've ever seen...

I ordered this Competition Government Model Colt from a local firearms dealer last week and picked it up on Monday. It was advertised as coming with an ambidextrous safety, but when I went to pick it up, I was disappointed to see it had only the single sided safety. It took me a few hours, but...

I'm looking for a set of nice condition K Diamond Target Stocks with the grip escutcheons flush with the stock diamond. See this link to a forum members photo posting for an example. https://smith-wessonforum.com/142054213-post10.html Thank you for your consideration. Please send PM for any...

I would like to get some opinions on the date this Model 41 shipped. The SN is 46070. I found this in a local shop last week. Thanks in advance for your input.

If you're anything like me, you have all the pockets on your pants reserved for items you always carry. This can be problematic if/when you want to carry a reload or two for your revolver. I recently came across this item and thought I'd give it a try for carrying items I didn't want to carry...

I got some of the new Winchester Silvertips and immediately tried them out in my Model 43C. I fired a cylinder full, eight rounds and was not able to extract them in the normal fashion. I ended up removing the fired casings one at a time with a small diameter dowel rod. Two of the eight cases...

A couple of weeks ago, I left work and headed to the nearest town with a grocery store to pick up a few items. As is my usual practice, I pulled my Kimber Micro Raptor .380 out of the console of my Jeep and placed it in my left front pocket before heading into the store. When I got home from...

I recently read a post in another thread describing the common practice of matching cast bullet diameter to chamber throat diameter. I was surprised to see the chamber throat dimensions for a Model 16-4 listed as .311". Why surprised? Just a couple of days ago, I had measured the chamber...

I purchased this S&W SW22 VICTORY a couple of years ago and have been most impressed by the accuracy and reliability from the very first. I did note the trigger was nowhere near as good as the ones on some of the true target pistols, and began searching for some way to improve it, and also look...

Has anyone seen these yet? I received an email about them earlier today, and ordered two flats.

I thought I would post this for the benefit of those who might be looking for a Lee Factory Crimp Die for loading the 32 Winchester Special. This particular die has been out of stock recently, but the 32 Remington is almost always available. That's the deal; 32 Remington is just a rimless...

Does anyone have any experience loading the old Remington 100 grain .311 JSP in the 32 Magnum? This bullet was loaded in the factory 32-20's and was also available as a component for reloading. The reason I'm asking about it is I recently did a quick check and found I have a significant number...

It strikes me as somewhat unusual to be starting a thread on the L Frame Target (Forged) Hammer when until very recently, I was convinced that such had never been produced. That's based on my own experience of never having seen anything but service and semi-target hammers on the huge number of...

I had never noticed that January 1st was such a popular day for birthdays. Looks like it was exceedingly popular in 1970. Happy Birthday to all of you!
