I took advantage of the post Christmas rebate. $199.00 after rebate. Rebate came within a month. Couldn't be happier with it. Shot several boxes of various 9mm rounds. Some had been in the ammo box for awhile. Shot flawlessly. Not a good option for concealed carry. (Never say never.) Field or...
Google mosinbutt. It's a recoil pad that replaces the buttplate. It also adds an inch to the s
tock. I was told the nagants have a shorter rear stock due to being designed to be fired with a really heavy coat.
Remove the sight and "ding" the bottom of the dovetail with a punch to raise a "bump". That should do it. Also, with a brass hammer, give the dovetail wings a moderate thump. Use the brass hammer to tap the sight back in. That should do it it but if it doesn't repeat with loctite.
Use your smartphone. If you dont have one, hook a friend into with one into going with you. Sometimes there are good prices but a quick "Google" is always a good idea. Enjoy yourself. The price of admission is worth the education that you can gain. Many vendors are great sources of general...
Letter of the law.
I have had a carry permit since the 80's. IMHO our EPD is better than most. As I read the news today, it appears that he was arrested for disorderly conduct. Had he kept his cool, he could have walked away free and clear. I am proud to live in a state that has a long history...
I'm at the other end of the state so this may not be how things are in Fort Wayne. the price of the transfer will tell you how interested the local FFL is in doing transfers. In Evansville, I have seen those transfers run from $10 to $30. Here is a link from gunbroker.com that will let you...
Another side to LEO arms disposal
Back in the 80's, I went to a gun auction in Warrick county where confiiscated guns were auctioned off. I never saw so much gun junk in one place. I only saw two that I even recognized. One was a S&W K-22 that looked as if it had been dragged behind a truck and...
Evansville Walmart had loads of 9mm
I was at the Evansville East Side Walmart a couple of days ago and they were well stocked on pistol ammo. Lots of remington FMJ 9mm and some import brand. it was even cheaper than the Remington.
For $100 what else will be this much fun?
Walk don't run to Aimsurplus or JG Sales and order one if you don' have one. Mosins are a blast in all respects.
Finally got a hi power.
Well almost, it's a FM M 90. It's a clone made in Argentina for the police and military. My understanding is that it was made under license with the hi power people. Right out of the box, it feels like an old friend. It's not as pretty as the FN hi powers but for...
Wrong end of the state
Stinks to be that far from Ft. Wayne. If their gunsmith would verify working condition, timing etc. I would call in sick to work for that deal.
Cash talks
You will get your best price with cash. Some of the larger vendors there might take VISA but you will still do better with cash. Check the weather, dress layers for warm & dry. Back pack or shoulder bag is handy. I prefer ear muffs because you will want to be taking them off and on...
