I'm unsure how best to meet the CMP's requirement for proof of participation in a marksmanship related activity. I've been shooting since I was eight, and still do at least a couple of times a month, but it's been years since I participated in any organized shooting competition or the like...
OK, it's about time I ordered a Garand from CMP. So, I need to join a CMP-affiliated club. It this M1 Collectors Association on the up-and-up? The only thing I know about them is that they're listed on the CMP site. Anyone have any experience with them?
I wasn't satisfied with the trigger pull on my new Range Officer - too much creep and grit. No improvement after several hundred rounds and a lot of dry firing. So I e-mailed SA's customer service. A nice young lady called me up a couple of days later and said she was e-mailing me a prepaid...
I'm sure there are many who are sick of my touting the Hi Power as the perfect 9mm. However, some of you may be interested in taking the leap for a reasonable price. CDI Sales (Cole's Distributing), Gary Cole, proprietor, has a slew (several hundred) ex-Israeli FN Hi Powers for sale on...
It pours Mini-Mags. Just saw an e-mail from Midway that my order had shipped. What order? Checked and low and behold, all three of my barely-remembered backorders for 500 rounds each are on their way. 500 rounds at $6.69/100, 1000 at $6.99/100. $12.79 shipping. I knew I should have picked up...
I'm thinking about buying one of the hundreds of ex-Israeli FN Hi Powers Coles' has listed on Gunbroker for cheap. They've all been parked. If I get one, I'd want to have it Cerakoted. Does that entail removing the parkerizing, or can the Cerakote go over the park? Does it come out better if the...
Does anybody know this outfit in Myersville, MD? mmbimports.com. I just found out about them through a thread on 1911Forum.com a guy started about the early-50s ex-German Border Police SIG p210 he got from them. One of their selling points is how they unobtrusively engrave, then blue, their...
Not sure this is the right forum, but here goes.
After long reading about the wonders of this stuff on the Smith & Wesson Forum, I found some on Amazon for around $14 for a 200 ml can (much cheaper than usual), under $20 shipped. It came yesterday, and I've done three of my S&Ws.
So far...
OK, how about this one. I never really thought about it before, but maybe I should.
When my father died in 1987, he had a few handguns. My mother was PR of his will, and left her his entire estate. She gave the handguns to me.
Do I need to register them?
I've still got the first gun I ever owned, a Browning T-Bolt T-2 w/checkered French walnut stock my parents gave me for my 12th birthday. I haven't shot it much in years and years, but would like to start doing so. However, the blade front and peep rear sights aren't as easy for me to see these...
Hope this isn't a dupe. Came across this on the BBC website, which is kind of interesting in itself. I may have to check out the book it refers to.

I've got one of the earlier GSG-1911s, and a couple of months ago the firing pin broke. I called ATI, they checked their records, and said the gun was out of warranty but they'd send a repair return package with a prepaid Fedex mailing label. I could send it in, they'd notify me when it was...

$7.69/20. My favorite range ammo, and supports Israel even if O'Bummer won't.
At the range yesterday, shooting up some crappy Remington bulk .22 I bought when there was nothing else available. First squib in 40+ years of shooting, now I've got to get a stuck bullet out of my Ruger Mark II. Looks like the casing split at the mouth somehow.
Give me anything else but...
I just read a great pro-hunting article in, of all places, the December 9, 2013 issue of Time Magazine - the cover article, in fact - written by a guy named David von Drehle. He carefully documents the exponential growth of many species that were endangered or nearly-extinct 50 or 60 years ago...
OK, all you guys that were complaining because PSA didn't have a mid-length upper for Black Friday - here's your chance.
