      Building a 1911

      A few questions to get us started. Are you talking about building one from scratch, ie a few pieces of raw steel? Would you prefer starting with basic components like a frame, slide, fire control components etc? and making the pieces fit together and work properly? Do you have the...

      Doing some traveling

      Lots of advice, most of it wrong. MD law, as I understand it that if you do NOT have a carry permit a regulated firearm can only be transported directly from your home to the range/an FFL dealer etc. by the most direct route. You may NOT stop for gas, lunch, site seeing etc. I normally use...

      Reasonable price for m1 carbine

      And I have (actually it belongs to my better half) my FIL paid $15 for thru the NRA in the early 50's. Oh and it is a Rock-Ola, the rarest of the rare. Even with inflation that was a wise purchase. I've been offered $5k for it. bob

      Eastern shore gun shops

      Gun Merchant is no more. The owner passed. On another note. I visited Larrys Trading Post in West Ocean City today. What an elegant store with really good help. As an old Perazzi owner saying I was impressed is an understatement. I was there to fill in paperwork for a hangun I bought...

      freezer in garage?

      I've had chest freezers (smallish, not huge ones) in garages since 1973. I think 3 of them actually, and the first one I bought used. 2nd was left for new owners, easier than moving. Current one is from 2003. All in garages. I've lived in Northern Wisconsin (very cold) TN, not so cold, VA...

      Holosun Products

      I've had astigmatism all my life. All but one of my handguns has a red dot on it. If I keep the intensity down as low as I can and still see the dot all is well. It's something you get used to. Far better than not being able to focus on or even see the front sight.... By the way I...

      Winchester Super X Model 1 bolt buffer - HELP!

      Congratulations! See, it was not that difficult and now you have the satisfaction of accomplishing a new task. The new bolt buffer should last the life of the gun. The originals were not so. They will disappear over time even if the gun is never shot. Modern materials I guess. Every...

      Winchester Super X Model 1 bolt buffer - HELP!

      I too own several SX-1's. Some time ago I had several more than I do now. Best dam competition autoloader ever made by anyone. The previous post is spot on, but he makes it sound harder than it is. If the buffer is gone likely no need to pull the stock, but won't hurt anything to do so. It...

      New MD consignment rules

      Consignment transfers ownership. Maintenance does not. bob

      New MD consignment rules

      A regulated firearm placed on consignment (for sale) requires the FFL to take possession, meaning you relinquish same. Want it back? Should be a 77R, 4163 and 7 day wait in MD. Never heard about a 3 day wait. What am I missing? bob
