      Girlfriends and GUNS ...

      This conversation goes way beyond guns. Listen up young guys...... If you have an overwhelming desire to have kids and work until you are 70, let a girl move in. If you want to do whatever you want with your day, to have more money than you can spend, to have none of the headaches a family...

      Sig magazine question.

      Your 229 magazine will not fit in a 226 because it is too short and also too fat if it is a 229-1 magazine variant.

      Got my min-M1 Garand yesterday.

      The tankers are loud. You'll have a blast shooting it.

      What do folks think about fanny packs for CCW?

      It's going to be in the 20's tomorrow morning. Put it in your M-65 field jacket pocket for the next 5 months like the rest of us.

      Secondary Transfer Question

      It a new policy. This month I traded pistols with a friend. We got the same story. They run all of the checks at the barracks except for the mental health check. You forward the completed/signed packets to Licensing Div after you get the not disapproved letter. We had ours in less than 7...

      Anyone hunting crows?

      Super long day at work. I read "cows." Made me laugh. Thanks! I needed it.

      Replacement cylinder for .357 New Service Colt Revolver

      I'm sure you already checked, but any chance that the ejector star is loose? I think it can unscrew from the rod on that model. Just a thought.

      Montgomery County PD, May 30

      We just got hit with 2 million in required cuts. Looks like an upcoming class is being cancelled or delayed. The treadmill test isn't too bad. It equates to something like 4.2 mph for ten minutes on a 10% incline without going over 90% max heart rate.

      Punk Stole my daughters purse in Eldersburg

      Based on grille, mirrors, etc it sure does look like a 1994 Ford Ranger Super Cab Pickup, probably splash green over gray.

      It's Just Rank

      I think the problem may be in the grips. It sounds like you've done all you can with the metal. A wood grip could trap some manner of bacteria or have become saturated with now rancid Ballistol or olive oil (popular on older guns). Or maybe the grips are rubber and it is breaking down.

      Shooter Barrel for a WWI Colt 1911?

      I think most people are cringing at the thought of a $1300 treasure being fired when a shooter 1911 can be had for less than $500. It's all relative. A lot of the guys on this board are in their 20s/30s/40s and don't remember brand new but surplus 1911s for sale in hardware stores for less...

      Weird pattern on head stamp

      That is lake city us military brass with a crimped pocket. Great stuff. Buy a swaging tool and have fun.

      Shotgun sights

      If it's an 870, I like barrel mounted rifle sights upgraded to ameriglo tritium. The 870 rear has a white triangle under the rear sight notch. It makes a great quick reference bead for close, fast shots. The blades on the rifle sights are nice for long distance work. Tritium is nice for low...

      Please help me troubleshoot my ARs FTF issue!

      Mopar has some good thoughts. I'd also offer that some PSA receiver extensions are like washboards on the inside. Couple that with a flat wire recoil spring and no grease and you can count on intermittent short stroking with bolt over like in your pictures.

      Sig P229 sight problem

      A 6 front would shoot even lower than an 8. The lower the number the lower the bullet strikes. Here are the heights converted from SIG number to 1/1000ths of an inch. Rear Sight Heights: #4 = 5.24mm (0.21 inches) #5 = 5.52mm (0.22 inches) #6 = 5.80mm (0.23 inches) #7 = 6.07mm (0.24 inches)...
