      One man's loss is another's gain...

      Amazing find! The shape and style remind me a lot of the Menta/Behola pistols of pre-war and WWI use.

      Vintage Scope ID help:

      I picked up that Glenfield Model 60 the other week and thought it'd be fun to make one "period correct" and actually put one of these on it to shoot with, but only at the range. I've got other firearms and optics for serious stuff. Thought it'd be fun to show my son how it was when I was his age...

      Vintage Scope ID help:

      I picked up a 1974 Glenfield Model 60 the other week that cleaned up pretty well. I took it to the range and got the iron sights dialed in, but my eyes suck at 100 yards these days and I figured I'd shoot to find a decent little .22 scope of a similar vintage to throw on top of it. I won a lot...

      Flare guns at BRP

      BRP Corp just sent an email flyer. They have several German WWII flare guns up for sale. Figured I'd let the group know.

      What's the dirtiest gun you've ever come across?

      We all know "that guy" who shoots and then never cleans his firearms because "modern propellant isn't corrosive" or some such other excuse. I have a very good friend who is like that but simply admits that he doesn't have the time and always winds up in a flurry of cleaning just before any event...

      Tristar Viper Youth model

      I also have a TriStar Viper, but in 12ga. I can tell you that it is a reliable and economical gun and more reliable than most of the other offerings out there in the same price range. TriStar has done a very good job of enforcing their QA standards at the factories in Turkey that they use for...

      Fine, you don't like that one. So be it. Buy this instead: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Route-7-Elk-River-Rd-Webster-Springs-WV-26288/23151219_zpid/

      WV Property-Search thread:

      Not a bad little place on 5ac near Romney. Could make a good weekend getaway place with enough TLC. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/23067-Northwestern-Pike-Romney-WV-26757/2053078477_zpid/ Noteworthy that it'll likely need some sort of foundation coating to prevent water infiltration in...

      Benelli Quality Control Very Disappointing what say you?

      If they were solid knots (no major filling occurred during the finishing of the stock) then it wouldn't bother me as much, but I can see on the left side of the stock that there was significant filling during the finishing process which means there's less structural integrity in those areas. The...

      Erfurt Luger

      Yep. Especially if they have a lot of embellishments like horn pistol grip extensions, carved hunting scenes, etc. The Germans, especially pre-WWI, went all in for over-the-top carving and hunting scenes.

      Did he keep the holster, etc?

      Shooting Trap door Springfield

      Shouldn't it be Kentucky elevation?

      OWS now has a physical storefront and hours:

      https://mailchi.mp/ows-ammo/winter-storm-sale-12683843?e=ff0c83c758 Guess I'll be stopping by Martinsburg in the near future. It'll be nice to see things in person with them before buying (not that I've had any major issues before).

      C&R values; anticipating sale

      How's the condition? Does it hand any engraving? These start, on the low end, at around $4k on Guns Intl. and go up from there with a pretty high ceiling.

      C&R values; anticipating sale

      I'll probably be taken out back and beaten to death for saying this in the present company, but what about taking them to a reputable auction company? I know some of our members have had good success with Redding in Gettysburg. I've attended their auctions many times and have rarely seen...

      C&R transfer question

      Yeah, that's a no-go in the C&R license regs. 01 or 02 (Dealer 01 or Pawnbroker 02) are the only way to stay above board with this in MD.

      Hunting in the snow at Pheasant Valley Farm:

      Interestingly enough, the MD Dept. of Ag. and the MD DNR are working on a program to link hunters up with farmers for deer management. Maybe, just maybe, with the program in place and more hunters and farmers talking to each other, some habitat mitigation can happen.
