      What type of Gun owner are you?

      I'm a pistol collector. I like guns with stories; i.e. I've got a 1943 P-38 that is, most definitely, the direct father of the Beretta 92 (H%$# some of the parts may be interchangeable), I've got a Red 9 Artillery Luger, etc. I could bore you for hours about the stories surrounding some of my...

      Any mercedes owners in the area?

      Another endorsement of J.T . Great Guy. Great Service. Great price. I'm the guy that "wanted an S Couple so bad...." went to actually buy it and got my head turned by an SL. Be seeing you soon for the A Service.

      Replacing a GP 100 Cylinder?

      Several people are selling GP100 cylinders on WWW.gunbroker.com and YouTube will show any competent gunsmith how to tear down a GP100 and replace the cylinder.

      Looking for Rentals

      Hey! Don't forget wheel guns! I own a bevy of fairly high quality semis but I find myself reaching for my Ruger GP100 fairly often. Its single/double. Points really well. Never jams and has a very nice touch on single action.

      How Long Did Your HQL Approval Take?

      My application cleared all of their screens about 10 days ago. Still "Pending". I sure wish some state trooper would put down his donut and actually do some work.

      How Old Were You When You Bought Your First Firearm?

      I guess I hold the record :-) I was 70 years old and looking for something to do. I took an NRA basic pistol course and the instructor's personal gun was a Kimber. So I bought one. Still my favorite sidearm. With the fervor of a convert I've bought about 10 other guns and am now an FFL

      What's your favorite handgun?

      My Kimber 1911 is the gun I go back to when I'm done "playing" with all my other hand guns. I just plain feels good in my hand and makes me into a better shot than I normally am.

      Of course machines (especially guns) can have a pesonality

      I had Freedom munitions 115 and 124; both remanufactured . I had Fiocchi 115 and 124 both new. I also had some Hornady 145 just for kicks. The Luger is a blowback gun and was, literally, tearing cartridges in half by cycling too quick with the heavier bullets. The first answer to my...

      Of course machines (especially guns) can have a pesonality

      I just got back from the range. I went there with two guns and 4 boxes of 9mm ammo; each box had different bullet weights and/or loads. It turns out that my Beretta Nano (9mm) really is only happy eating 124 grain bullets (but any powder load). It will have many stove pipes and failures to...

      Heritage Training Center in Frederick

      prescription glasses? My shooting glasses are prescription glasses but slightly different than the ones I am normally required to wear. It would be senseless to use any other glasses. I couldn't see the targets :-)

      Did you replace you Kimber 1911 mags?

      Never ever had a feed problem with Kimber mags in my Stainless Gold Match II. I would suggest you run a few hundred rounds though the gun before you decide IF you need different magazines for it.

      The Machine Gun Nest membership card

      I would like to "tone down" the negative rhetoric about TMGN. I don't know them. I did meet them at some fair type function. They seem like nice , somewhat naïve, people. But hey guys! They are young people who were overly optimistic before they tangled with an unfriendly bureaucracy. Cut...

      Question of Principles

      Good Idea Thank you! That seems like the best solution.

      Question of Principles

      But he's still selling his phony repops as originals on Gunbroker. Don't I have some obligation to alert the next poor soul that wants to complete his kit?

      Question of Principles

      I bought an "original new old stock" barrel cleaner for my luger off of gunbroker.com. When it arrived it was obviously a very bad repop of the part and didn't even fit the holster. The seller alleges he's sold several of them and had no complaints ( Several of an incredibly rare part?)...

      Any mercedes owners in the area?

      I'll add my A.O.K. for Justin's work. He did the service on my Mercedes and let me watch :-) He certainly was through!!! At about half the price of the dealer. I plan on going back again.

      What is the most chicken$#$% reason for a ticket?

      I respectfully disagree I'm sorry I disagree with you LEO defenders. All enforcers of the law have great discretion. And in any public place there are many miscreants. For example on I-495 there are people that do 80 MPH and slalom through traffic like wild men. Then there are those who...

      What is the most chicken$#$% reason for a ticket?

      I just got a ticket out on I-495. I got picked out of a line of traffic right at the I-494 & I-95 split. MY crime? The dealer installed license plate frame covered the lower 3/4 inch of the Maryland Plate with his name. Its that part of the plate that says www.maryland.gov or Treasure the...

      Bad Vendor Buymilsurp.com

      Part number and custoemr service The part number was PPKS380-KIT. It wasn't so much the shorted parts; although that was annoying. My major complaint was the lousy customer service in the one line response "I don't see that spring in in the detailed parts list". No "sorry you thought it...

      Bad Vendor Buymilsurp.com

      I ordered a "complete" spring kit from them and it turned out complete meant "complete less a couple of important springs" More important, when I wrote them an e-mail complaining about the lack, all I got back was a single real snarky sentence "I don't see the missing spring listed on the...
