    High $ guns

    ...and a lot of people are impressed by quality and performance...Or they might NEED quality and performance... Snob factor is a factor sometimes no doubt, but so is quality and performance. This is the same concerning many diverse goods. For example, suppose you were into serious...

    High $ guns

    As someone with a $2000 Olympic style air pistol on a wishlist... I love expensive guns - the ones that justify their price through workmanship and the resulting performance. Pride of ownership is also a big factor. These reasons are why I bought a Freedom Arms way back when I was allowed to...

    New British Revolver

    Now THAT is interesting - disappointing if true TBH. Still, had never heard of Janz - very nice! Also, obviously other Janz guns will cost around the $10k mark by the look of them...similar to Korths.

    New British Revolver

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0MtXuh5LiQ Yeah, $10,000, £6500...only 50 a year, each taking a year to make. Also, A W, the interviewee reminds me of Alan Rickman - anyone else here think the same?

    New British Revolver

    Thought I'd look at the Anderson Wheeler (the ones who make the "affordable" 500NE double rifle in the James Bond "Skyfall") website at things I can't afford when I saw "Revolver"...Seems they now make a Webley style 7 shot 357 that they've logically named the Mark VII - the last Webley was the...

    Question About Gun Engraving...

    How much per hour? Yes, I've googled and couldn't find it... It's just that I happened to Google Beretta SO series and they gifted one to George W Bush with over 500 hours engraving... Beretta to Present President George W. Bush a Custom SO10 EELL Shotgun

    What's The Largest, Most Powerful Gun You've Ever Fired - Smallarm-wise?

    I'm seeing that people are making 20mm rifles and 2 bores... MAG-FED 20MM RIFLE - Anzio Ironworks http://www.stolzergunsmithing.com/2boredoublerifle.htm They also make a pistol - THAT would be interesting to fire... while this company built a 600 nitro revolver awhile back Zeliska .458 Win...

    500 S&W In A Rifle

    What I forgot to add was, that I would have thought demand would be high, the revolver was popular when it came out in 2003 wasn't it?

    500 S&W In A Rifle

    Thought I'd Google 500 S&W rifle expecting quite a few only to find just one or two; would have thought it would be popular in lever actions - thought revolver cartridges in revolvers & lever action were quite popular - eg 357, 44-40, 44mag etc. Hardly anything, just what looks like a...

    What do people do with NIB classic revolvers?

    This thread reminds me of those adverts in car magazines where some hyper expensive car for sale is advertised as having "garage mileage"; pathetic, the owner bought it just so's he could make some money on the thing later...however, I could understand firearms not being shot if they're 170...

    First gun...handguns only

    6" stainless Colt Python. Satin because I couldn't find an Ultimate. Smitten by this "apogee of American gunsmithing" in all the glossy magazines and books, I ended up with something that would bind after a couple of cylinderfuls of hollow based wadcutters and I found it difficult to clean the...

    American Sniper

    One thing I noticed in this film and a tv programme over here based in Afghanistan (neither of which I've been to BTW): everybody's so clean; pretty all footage and photos I've seen show dust and grime...

    American Sniper

    Saw it yesterday; good casting - he REALLY looked the part - build and looks unlike say, Tom Cruise (5' 8") as Jack Reacher (6' 5")...
