      Did you commit to buy a Vortex 4-12?

      I'm looking for the person who pushed the "commit to buy" button on my add for a Vortex 4-12 scope on Sunday at 7:40 AM. The automated PM from the admin had no values where the username should have been in all three places (title, greeting, and body). I don't want to repost without giving the...

      Hammer won't stay back on P38

      I have an early 1945 Walther P38. The hammer won't stay back and allow single action firing. The hammer just follows the slide forward. It doesn't fire multiple shots (from memory last time it was shot over 20 years ago). Also, the trigger won't reset after the slide is worked, but will...

      Upper Build Question

      We need to school our friends!

      Watching Fox News Sunday this weekend Chris Wallace had two Senators on the show (Pro-gun Ayotte and anti-gun Blumenthal). I hear this ALL the time, and it drives me crazy. Chris Wallace raised the topic in a manner that basically put the argument in the context of "Can we get these safety...

      Remington Ammo Sale @ Dick's

      Stopped by Dick's today at lunch to pick up some ammo. They're having a sale on Remington. You get the second box at 1/2 price. .223 was about $10 a box of 20, or 2 for $15 .45 was $25 and 2 for $37.50 I didn't look at the other calibers, but there was a guy there buying some .40, I...

      Getting Close - Final AR build questions

      So, I’ve been working on my AR build very piecemeal for over a year, and I’m finally getting down to the wire. I think I’m down to my final noob questions and/or assumptions I’d like to validate with you guys. After the enjoyment of the lower build, and wanting to spread out my expenditures, I...

      Bona fide collector

      Question: Do you need to be a "Maryland Designated Collector" to be considered a "bona fide" collector and be able to move all or part of your collection to a private showing? There've been some questions recently in light of the Williams case about transport, residency, etc... Several...

      Had to get out the Dremel!!

      I ordered some new wood grips for my MK9. I was really excited, until I tried to simply pop them on. I had to get out the most feared of gunsmithing tools and expand a cutout on the inside of each grip a little bit. It went pretty smoothly and I really like the grips much better than the hard...

      A Brand New Kahr!!! (new to me)

      Finally picked up the MK9 I had on layaway for several weeks. I wanted something that would be good for CCW with my as-yet unused Utah permit. This is my first purchase with a particular purpose in mind beyond (I like that and want it). This one was slightly used and has the tritium night...

      FTE - Caused by Ammo?

      I've shot a couple thousand rounds through my mil-spec Springfield 1911 with virtually no problems. (I say virtually because I think there were a few that I chalked up to limp wristing). The ammo has largely been WWB, but has even fed the smokey, dirty, cast bullet bulk pack stuff without an...

      Bowling Pins Last Saturday

      I've been wanting to go to a bowling pin shoot for a long time. The scheduling stars finally aligned Saturday and I went to the Pins shoot at the Monocacy Pistol Club. To summarize for anyone who hasn't done it: There's a table about 25ft away with 5 bowling pins set up in two levels. The...

      Great Read - CCW Debate Transcript - Guns Reduce Crime

      Read if you get a chance. The most noteworthy thing I think was that the anti side (Including Paul Helmke from the Brady bunch) never suggested that more guns "increase" crime, they just kept saying reductions were caused by other things. Then making up statistics.. Also, they kept pointing...

      Carrying at Chipotle

      I saw someone carrying at chipotle today in Gaithersburg (man, that's good food). Not sure if he was trying to conceal or OC. He was wearing a t-shirt with an untucked flannel shirt that would have been perfect for ccw, but the shirt was hiked up over the butt of the pistol which was in an OWB...

      Mark III pitting near crown

      pitting or imperfect to begin with is my real question. My older eyes originally thought the crown was chipping away. The close-ups make me think there're just imperfections in the production/finishing process. Looks like fouling built up in the imperfections. Has anyone noticed anything...

      Caring for old holsters

      I have an early 40's P-38 my great uncle brought back from WWII. It's in pretty good shape and I'm keeping in in the safe with a light coating of oil. My question is: What is the best way to store and preserve the holster? It looks like it's been rode hard and put to be wet, but doesn't seem...

      Good Saturday

      Picked up my new Ruger Hunter at Gunrunner's in Frederick yesterday morning (it's exciting to be "Not Disapproved"). Went to Cresap to break it in. I'd heard some stories about them needing some break-in, but it worked flawlessly! I also found that after 100 rds from the Mark III and...

      another new Frederick guy

      Hi, another guy from Frederick. Been lurking for a month or so, really enjoying the forum and trying not to let it interrupt my work productivity! My dad took me shooting the Ruger single-six when I was about 10. No other kids, just me tagging along with him and his friends. Really...
