    For Sale 1968 Browning HiPower, T Series, all original

    Nice gun. I hope you meet your goal for it. Your sale, assuming you are successful, does nothing but increase the value of the dozen or so BHPs I own, most with cases, some holsters & even a few unfired. * Moderator Edit *

    How Safe is your Collection

    My personal belief is that a gun safe is an enclosure designed to keep honest folks, honest. I'm old enough to remember a valuable old Pennsylvania Flintlock hanging over the fireplace and displaying our classic hunting weapons displayed is a beautiful glass door gun cabinet. More recently, I...

    New to forum and new to Mini 14.

    I recently acquired NIB Ruger Mini-14 Tactical in .300 Blackout caliber. Too busy with other projects, so it has yet to see the range. I bought this particular piece for a number of reasons: 1. It's a Ruger; 2. It's a Mini-14 ?; 3. It has a short barrel (16.5) & flash hider; 4. I don't like...

    New gp100 owner here

    Hi Will -- I'm Ed from Florida, having escaped from New York many years ago. I have the identical GP100 SS 4" 357 that I bought several years ago. Unfortunately I found too uncomfortable to shoot as it was too big for my hand. However my 27 year old grandson loves it. Later I purchased a...

    Mini-30 Conversions

    I don't know why I didn't think of modifying 223 cases to 300 Blackout. I gave up reloading years ago but I still have all the gear. Many thanks for the suggestion. What was the logic of Ruger's use of the Mini-14 for the Blackout instead of the Mini-30?

    Mini-30 Conversions

    I still have a couple Ruger Minis, all of which I thoroughly enjoy for one reason or another. However, I am not a fan of the 7.62x39 cartridge but my dislike is probably phycological. I do own a Mini-14 in .300 Blackout that satisfies my "need" for a heavier range of bullet weights. So my...

    Turned down a GP100

    Correction to my earlier communication re: GP-100. I described mine as a SS 3" .357 NIB w/ Crimson Trace Laser grips (originals still in the case). That data is exactly right except the bbl must have grown in the safe to 4." The reason it is available is because it feels too big in my hand...

    I didn’t even know I needed this…

    DITTO! My first buy was at age 15 of a shinning new Marlin 39A Lever Action .22 from a Western Auto Store in Buffalo. My latest has yet to arrive but is due this week. This one is a new production Belgian FN Hi Power 9mm Pistol that will be joining about 2 dozen FN & Browning cousins in my...
