      What is the fair value for a used handgun??

      I don't know weather to laugh or log off when I see the prices people are asking for their guns anymore. It reminds me of Don's Guns prices in Indy! I refer to it as "suggested list plus 40%" I've been accumulating guns for over 40 years and have never seen such insanity. You can price anything...

      Nickel Plated Winchester 63

      Talked to a much more knowledgeable collector than I am, about it. He said that you could just about order anything from the manufacturers in those depression days and get it for very little extra money. This rifle might have been a prize in a contest, displayed in a store window or some similar...

      Nickel Plated Winchester 63

      Does anyone have any knowledge of factory nickel plated model 63's? They are apparently not catalogued, but I did find a couple of mentions of them on the net. It was made in 1938 according to the serial number. Barrel is 23 inches. I took it apart and it seems to be all original finish from the...

      Taxes everywhere and not a drop in sight

      About 20 or so years, the American Taxpayers League did a scenario with one U. S. dollar. It was spent into circulation, then followed through our society as it changed hands. it was not very long before it was totally consumed by taxes. Was a real eye opener. I am sure that the situation is...

      Check out Fiber Optic Sights

      I recently bought my first set of fiber optic sights. Put them on a GP 100. Wow, what a difference in being able to quickly pick a good sight picture! And they are the best against a black background, like most targets. I am getting old, so the eyes are not nearly what they used to be. I would...

      WTS: Winchester model 88 Carbine in .284 Win.

      Winchester model 88 lever rifle for sale. It was made in 1968. The carbines are fairly rare and so is the .284 chambering. There is a little rust on top of the sight hood and also on a little area of the barrel band. The rest of the metal is excellent. The wood has a few minor handling marks and...

      iraq war; what do you think about it??

      Every one on here should go read what Marine Officer Smedley Butler had to say about his career and war! Then maybe you should answer the question as asked. Follow the money! Oil owned both sides of the Whitehouse! DUH!

      Current demand for used firearms

      I too am reluctant to fill out 4473's. I am a firm believer in "It is just none of the government's business!" I won't say how many guns I own, but way less than 10% are on paper. I agree that used firearms are mostly over priced. To get a decent buy, you have to shop hard or just be at...

      Open Carry - Double Cross Draw

      I believe John W. Hardin carried double crossdraw. It is the only comfortable way to carry a gun with barrel length of more than 4 inches. And it is the only real way of carrying where you can reach it with either hand. Try to reach your gun if carried strongside with your off hand. Now try it...
