      So I'm doing some 1911 work...

      In keeping with my normal mentality, I decided to order some parts for my RIA 1911(GI Model). I love doing work myself, as it teaches me on how the firearm operates...and it adds to my skill set. My question is: 1. I purchased a new thumb safety, grips, hammer, trigger, disconnector, sear...

      Rock Island Armory 1911

      I finally picked up my RIA1911 from Manchester's last night. I paid for it back in January, but Wayne ended up going to Aruba for vacation...so I had to wait until yesterday to pick it up. I'm very happy with my first 1911 purchase. I have some minor plans for it.

      1911 Home Gunsmithing...

      So, as I wait until I can go pickup my Rock Island Armory full size 1911 from Manchester's (17th. Wayne went to Aruba :sad20:), I was thinking about upgrades for it. I purchased the GI spec, as I wanted a base model so I could work with it myself and learn about how a 1911 works. I've never...

      Ordered my SubCompact XD9 today...

      After power got knocked out in Delaware, work shutdown and we all took an early holiday. I figured I'd visit Wayne over at Manchester's and see what was new. I've been debating purchasing a new handgun since I got the girlfriend to do some shooting with me. After her enjoying it, I got the...

      So I bit the bullet today...

      And picked up a bone stock Ruger 10/22 from Manchesters. I've been wanting to get one for a while, as not only do I want to build it up a little and tinker, but I need something to go small game hunting with. Now I need to get a decent barrel, a good stock, and some glass. :thumbsup:

      How does the Maryland ballistics program work (shellcasing w/weapons question)

      Alright, After handling a few 1911s, I've decided that I would like to purchase a Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded model (fullsize parkerized). I took a ride over to Machester's in Bishopville, who I've bought everything through, and was disappointed to find that Springfield 1911s take a good...

      Cleaning Solvent Recommendations

      Well then, After receiving my new OTIS cleaning kit in the mail yesterday, I went about stripping down and going over my Glock, USP, AR15, and Remington 870Express. Normally, I just hose down the parts with a can of BreakFreeCLP and scrub things over. This usually accounts for large amounts of...

      Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol Club?

      I'm looking for a nice indoor / outdoor range that is relatively close. I've had a couple suggestions from some people to check out this place. The membership fees and price are very nice for what they advertise. I've never been to their establishment, and can't find any information on their...

      For those who don't reload...what to do with brass?

      I enjoy recycling as much as I can, not because I'm an environment hippy, but because I like the idea of re-using certain products. Is there any place that you can ship your brass to in order to have them melt it down and re-use it? Or like some "reloaders" donation organization?

      Where to go for MD CCW training?

      Eventually, before the summer, I want to apply for my CCW in MD. I plan on getting my FL non-res permit first (so I can carry at work), but I eventually need to get around to MD. Where can I go for the CCW class for MD?

      Savage 10FP or Remington 700P?

      I'm looking into getting a .308 Rifle for some long range shooting, and I can't decide between the 10FP or the 700P (Both LE models). Anyone have any experience with either and have an opinion? I'm sure the Savage is relatively cheaper (which could put funds towards a nice Leupold...

      Difference between a GI and MilSpec 1911?

      After my thirty day wait between purchases is up, I want to go look at a new Springfield 1911. I don't want anything ridiculous, so the GI definitely caught my eye. However, the MilSpec looks nice as well, but I don't see any real big difference between the two except for price. Does...
