    SOLD Ruger Black Micarta Birdshead Grips

    I believe these Birdshead Black Micarta grips are factory original. They are lightly used and come with grip screw. My understanding is Ruger only made one size/shape Birdshead grip across calibers and styles including the new Wranglers. I bought them as described for a project that didn't...

    Ruger 75th 10/22

    S&P Outfitters https://sapoutfitters.com/ They seem to buy, whole guns, I'm sure at their discount and then part them out. Parts inventory is changing with new take off Ruger parts.

    Ruger 75th 10/22

    Oh yes, there is a factory finish on the natural light wood just like any Ruger wood stock.

    Ruger 75th 10/22

    I bought just the natural stock from S&P as a take off. When I first saw it, it seemed a little weird but quickly grew on me. Of course it depends on the wood but I find it attractive, finish is smooth and even. The black checkering could be a little darker for me, seems like it was a spray...

    WTB Deleted

    I used a pair of snap ring pliers that were in the tool box. Not the pointed kind but ones with a paddle type ends. Worked great. Just a thought.

    New Gen 2 Ruger American Rifles

    I just picked up a RAR 556 with the AR mag. The new upgrades look to address what consumers have been changing out almost since the RA first came out. My guess the new stock, the 4th version will be the most appreciated. I know I already changed out mine. It will be intesting to see what the...

    Mini 14 Advice Needed

    Oh, yes. But thank you for clarifying . I wish I could say my lust for a Mini-14 was totally diminished, It is still there in the shadows of my mind. LOL

    Good Quality Handgun Cases

    I've been buying Boyt soft pistol cased of late. I like the soft lining and the old school green canvas outer. They do come in black too. Yes the new ones are made in China but I see/feel no real difference in the 30 yo ones I have. There its a leather "Boyt" name tag that is stitched on but...

    Let's see some custom 1911s

    I just handled a Nighthawk Custom at my LGS. If it shoots as good as it feels and looks it must be great.

    What are you paying for primers ??

    Just bought 1000 (brick) large mag pistol CCI at N. Calif Sportsman's Warehouse for $70. That is up $1.50 p/box (100) when they were limiting to 2-boxes of 100 just a couple of months ago. At least they were selling a brick (K) now.

    Super Wrangler versus Single Six?

    Just returned from my N. Calif. LGS. Once again to my surprise they has a stainless NM Super Single Six. No case or mag cylinder and looked clean. The cylinder had a very definite tight drag at one repeatable point when rotating and very poor fitting factory grips. Drum roll.......$900.
