I own several Lugers and the one of the most important elements in dollar value is matching numbers. There are lots of small parts that are...
In North Carolina, if you do not have a CC permit, you have to go to the sheriff office in your county and get a handgun purchase permit. This entails filling out a form like a 4473 and submitting it to the sheriff office. The permit(s) cost $5.00 each and you can purchase up to 5 at a time...
Sad news indeed. I would frequently stop in and see Larry at the shop behind Palmer's Printing. He would always share photos of his hunting trips to Iowa.
I would contact Golden Eagle coin shop in Laurel. Nice people to work with and a safe environment to conduct a sale. I have never had an issue buying or selling to this business.
British Enfield MK4 (?) .22 caliber conversion. My father purchased it thru Sears catalog in 1961 for my 9th birthday. If I remember correctly, it was $11.00 and delivered thru the mail.
I've owned a half dozen Reising Model 50(s) over the years and most PD and state prisons stamped or burned their "ID(s)" into the weapon (as they did on Thompsons, Trench Shotguns, Remington 51 rifles, almost everything) such as CCPD (Culver City PD) ,OSP (Oklahoma State Police), etcetera. It...

I've only run 3 250rd belts thru it (30-06 is not cheap). It runs like a sewing machine (smooth feeding, slow and steady rate of fire). It is different shooting experience verses a M60 or M249. Kind of like comparing an MP40 to an MP5.
We also did all the shows in 1990s (R&R Enterprises) as a Class 3 dealer. Westminster, Reisterstown, Glen Burnie Armory, Greenbelt, Timonium, (Knob Creek), Upper Marlboro, Parkville and back to Timonium. It was a different time.
We also never looked back. We lived in Maryland (Crofton) from 1988 to 2017 (a lot of changes over the years). Children graduated from Anne Arundel schools and UMBC and AACC. Retired to eastern North Carolina and enjoying every day.
