Re: Polish P 64 mags

For those that purchase these mags, would appreciate a posting of your assessment as to how these mags hold up. Reason being, I purchased some aftermarket P-64 mags several years back from the "Cheaper Than Dirt" website, and they were crap. After about 100 rounds, there were bulges on the...

Re: Any Mosin Nagant fans?

Dang Junius, that's good shooting!

Appreciate the elevation info in your 2nd paragraph too. That said, assume winds were calm when you shot that day?

Re: S&W 29-2 Serial Number

Thanks JAGGUY. Was able to do some digging on that site and found a link to another site that broke down the serial numbers by model numbers. Looks like that serial number was made around 1981.

S&W 29-2 Serial Number

Gents, I'm considering the purchase of an S&W 29-2, with serial number "N800952". With that, any info regarding the year it was sold? Thanks in advance.

Re: M1 Carbine

Nice firearms Papabear, and nice shooting too. I have the same "bite" problem with my RIA 1911 that you mentioned with your Llama. When I shoot the RIA at the range, I wear an old leather cop glove on my shooting hand...problem solved. I purchased a Garand a while back thru CMP. Was hoping...

Re: S&W Model 13

Thanks PB. You have some beautiful examples of this pistol!
I was outbid, so will continue to look at the various websites, and gunshows in the local area.

S&W Model 13

I'm considering a S&W Model 13-2 purchase. It's a 357 magnum, 3” pinned barrel, with a recessed cylinder and round butt. The serial number is 5D12XXX. No box or papers. Seller said it's in 98+% condition, original bluing, good lock up and timing, and only a very faint drag line on the cylinder. ...

Re: Any Mosin Nagant fans?

Cabela's had them on sale a while back for $99, so I got two of them. I converted one into a hunting rifle by adding a Monte Carlo stock. In the picture, the bottom rifle is not a finished product - I removed the front iron sight and added a Bushnell's scope and viola - an (inexpensive) hunting rifl...

Re: New Rock Island Armory MS 45 ACP

Will a RIA "Government Model" (5 in barrel) accept a standard Colt or non-Colt 7 round 1911 magazine, with no feeding problems?

Re: Not Guns, but!

Dick, thank you for responding in a professional manner to Hobe Sound's extremely unprofessional post.

Re: Not Guns, but!

I think the Marines have a nice looking outfit, however, I don't much like their weird pants. Blue with red stripes??? First of all, the color of the stripe is scarlet, not red. The scarlet-colored stripe worn on the outside seam of the blue trousers of Non-Commissioned Officers and above in the Un...

Re: Reloading for Dummies

Thanks Norm. The 8th edition of the ABC's of Reloading just hit the streets, so I purchased that version. Also picked up the 49th edition of the Lyman Reloading Handbook. Now to read and get smart on this.
