I've been searching for the right Colt Lightning clone in 357 magnum, but there are too many "run away!" comments about them on various firearm forums, with the possible exception of the Pedersoli-made guns. Saturday I spotted the 357 Timberwolf in a rack at one of the semi-local dealers, and...

Got an opportunity to buy a Mars Equipment-imported Spanish CETME, NIB, imported in the 60s. I've been to GB, GA, and AA, but I was wondering what y'all folks thought was a fair price to pay for both buyer and seller? Noah

Lost my Mossberg .22 rifle cherry this past weekend, and I'm wondering why it took this long. Got this MINT late-40s-vintage Mossberg Model 42M(c) at a gun club swap meet for $120: It's wearing a Marlin front sight that I installed to replace the multi-post sheet metal front sight that came...

There are at least two different kinds of production S&W 76 magazines, which I detail with photos below. This post deals with prodcution S&W 76 magazines, and NOT tool room magazines which are different in design. There has been some opinion stated here and elsewhere that S&W 76 magazines...

A shop has a 5.56 Galil without any manufacturer named on the receiver. None that we can find, anyway. There is a serial number on the left side above the scope mount slot: And the number "28" on the right side of the receiver under the rear of the gas tube and just ahead of the cocking...

Attended a decent-sized show today and at one table was an AA full-size semi-auto Uzi carbine, priced $1899. I could not resist smarting off, and asked the seller, "Why so cheap? You CANNOT be serious! That's a friggin' steal! I need to sell these (rifles I was carrying for a friend), and...

I was firing some lacquered steel cased Brown Bear 115gr 9mm a couple weeks ago in slow, aimed fire when my SBR'd N320 went "POP" instead of "BANG." Lots of smoke. I didn't feel any powder particles or shrapnel hit me. The remnants of a cartridge case were in the breech in two pieces, along...

Got a line on about 50,000 brand factory new, factory primed .40 S&W cases and about twice that many new, primed 223 cases. A custom loader is discontinuing certain parts of his business and has too much overstock in .40 and .223. What would you be willing to pay (realistically) for .40 S&W...

Went to a small show yesterday and found one of these Action Arms scope mounts that clamps to an Uzi topcover with setscrews, and has multi-position rings. There was a 1988-vintage red laser mounted in the rings: But there was a 'catch' to the deal . . . . ...

. . . and posted bail on the shorty upper that my dealer was holding for me: I built up the Sabre Defence lower using mostly RRA parts, and bought the upper from Sherluk. The optic is a Gen 1 Bushnell Trophy MP 1x32 Red/Green Inverted T reticle unit. Rear BUIS is a YHM "flip" type with...

A scan of the Library didn't turn up anything but I may have had my "Man Blinders" on . . . I was wondering if anyone ever installed a Mini sidefolding stock on a full size Uzi, particularly as a bolt-on unit? In other words, I'm envisioning a sidefolding Mini stock hinge welded to a custom...

I don't recall posting about this one, but found it late summer/early fall in an out of the way funshop. It's a Century-marked Imbel Gear Logo receiver upon which someone (maybe CAI) built up an Izzy parts kit with a 16.5" barrel. It's got the requisite US parts to be 922r compliant. It was...

Recently sold a number of guns that I no longer use or in which I no longer have interest, and invested in a SIG 556. In the photo above it wear a Bushnell Trophy MP red/green selectable inverted T reticle 1X optic. I've had one of these on a Bushmaster M4gery for almost a year and it's been a...

Looking at a possible purchase of a S/A Vector Mini Carbine, seller is considering selling it and is asking "around $1100." It's been fired some but appears to be in almost-new condition w.r.t. the finish and appearance of the bolt and striker and other internal stuff. I haven't fired it...

I recently traded some items that no longer interested me for the pictured AA Model 323 Galil "ARM" in .308. It came with a sling, the pictured low-cap mag, along with several more of those and three 25 rd hi-caps. The previous owner is also looking for the manual. Bore is mirror-bright with...

. . . the ultimate Sterling curio: The "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" George Lazenby Action Figure with to-scale Sterling Mk4 and Walther PPK: Upon my purchase of some Sterling items, the seller included this action figure in which I have no interest and for which I have no use other than...
