Thought I would toss this out there for consideration: has there ever been a work of fiction that led you to engage in one or more preparedness step, projects, or life plans?
The type of work can be of any of your choosing (e.g., books, films, theater, video games, et al.).
The work may be...
HHav3 quick change out turrets. 2 plates for 9mm and .223/5.56. Powder feed, guide thing made by some ebay guy and variour calibers for pushing cases on to plate.
It's been collecting dust a long time as I prefer single stage it turns out. However this setup should be turn key with your...
History is replete with examples; wrong offering at the wrong time, manufacturer misjudged the buying public, good idea but poorly executed, in a weird caliber that never caught on, terrible idea that no one can really explain, cool feature(s) but not enough to justify the...
I'm looking to add a magazine (or two) for a Erma-Werke Model KGP 68A (Baby Luger) in .380 ACP / 9㎜ Kurz. Triple K has them, but they are back ordered.
Thanks. :)
The genesis of this wackiness, beyond really enjoying revolver shooting as of late, is earlier in the year I bought a copy of a book, or rather two volumes combined, that covers the topic. It was written in the interwar period, at least one of which appears to have been published originally in...
Every now and again many of us take a gamble on a firearms-related purchase only to find him or herself pleasantly surprised by the results.
A few recent(ish) examples:
I recently bought a bunch of KCI M1 Carbine magazines. I had been warned off of things made by them, but these...
So, after years of searching, we finally acquired the wife a Margolin pattern pistol, in the form of a Chinese PS01:
(First time she shot it was not far off the back porch. Me keeping two potato heads safely wrangled and her letting fly at an old plastic flower planter that was on the way...
Did you learn how to reload from a relative or friend? A workshop or class? Self-taught? Inquiring minds want to know. (Well, at least one does.)
Thanks. :)
Anyone done business with this outfit? They have a couple revolvers, and possibly rifle, in the latest Firearms News that I'm interested in. I take pause because the prices are abnormally low, particularly considering the gunpocylpse. That and their site looks like something from 1998 and...
Interesting Headstamp Publishing is coming out with a silencer history book soon. Anywho, just passing along the discussion that focuses on cans and not so much the aforementioned book.
A while back I saw a very compact telescope scope for ARs with a carry handle upper. I was thinking it would be a good addition to the abbreviated AR we have:
Recommendations? Thank you. :)
So, I have another Form 1 project (SBR) under works. I'm planning on having the threading and action work done first while it is still Title I. Then I will file for the stamp. I plan on using eForms since it is back now, albeit requiring mailing in fingerprint cards. (There are only two...
We're looking to acquire prescription shooting glasses for my sidekick (@TeacherSmurf). Though I know he is a shooter, I don't know that our optometrist carries such a thing. I'd have to imagine there are options online, so am searching on that now. If anyone has had good experience with a...
I just got back from the home range and am I reminded that we need to replace our targets. The ones up there are either completely toast or close to it. I'm looking to setting up 3-4 different sized steel targets, at various ranges, on said. I've bought them off the Intertubes from various...
What shooting sports do you think of that used to be very popular, but, for whatever reason, have slowly faded away? Why do you think it happened? Any attempts to revitalize them? Any fond memories to share? Thanks! :)
Today I stopped by a small sporting goods store that has been around since, according to the wife of the owner, 1946. I remember going there as a youth for fishing supplies, and with my father and older brother for firearm-related items back in the 1980s. My reason for visiting was largely...
So, I recently acquired a revolver in .44 Magnum and like it very much thus far. Alas, trigger time has been hampered by real life, but I look forward to more times on the home range.
I'm also reading an old book (circa 1995) entitled Hand Cannons: The World's Most Powerful Handguns. In...
