      Great point!

      Worst gun you ever bought!

      Colt Gold Cup (new) in 1960. It was a machine gun right out of the box. Colt fixed it, but it never shoot worth a damn.

      ATFE Theft/Loss Report for 2016

      I can't help but wonder how many of the "lost" firearms were lost in "boating" accidents.

      Indoor range question

      I asked Terry, the manager at Indy Gun Bunker, formerly Pop Guns in the distant past, about this rule yesterday. He said that they sell the range sweepings as scrap and that a mixture of brass and other metals is worth less than all brass. He added that they use the proceeds to hold down the...

      need help from the experts

      It has been mentioned many times on INGO: You should never use a treasured gun as an EDC. If you ever have to use it, the LE people will have to seize it as evidence and you may never see it again. As far as modifications: a trigger job and quit right there.

      Can anyone tell me what this thing is?

      Looks like a sling thing to me.

      Current best 1911 magazines?

      Another vote for Tripp Cobra. The 10 rounders are flawless in my STI 9mm.

      Reworked Hammer Spur for a Friend

      Good old Yankee ingenuity at work. (No offense if you are a Rebel.) That's a really slick way to save a classic gun.

      Can you use Standard load data for polymer coated reloading?

      Start with the lowest lead bullet recipe for that bullet weight. Work up slowly from there in small steps until you get a feel for what you are doing. It seldom hurts to be careful.

      Stainless touch-up

      Can anyone suggest a non-paint way of blackening stainless?

      357 sig

      The Lee factory crimp die in .357 Sig solves a lot of bullet retention problems. It's a collet die rather than a taper crimp and crimps almost the entire neck rather than just the mouth. I'm not a Lee fanboy, but this die is a winner.

      Kimber 1911 Rimfire (22) Questions

      I had a Bob Marvel conversion for several years. It was outstanding. Venonindy is absolutely right. The Nelson conversion is the best there is.

      Colt reintroducing "Cobra" revolver

      They were craftsmen, not "skilled laborers".

      What to replace my springfield loaded 1911 guide rod with?

      I've replaced all of my 1911 recoil spring guide/plug setups with the Wilson Combat R8 guide and the Cylinder and Slide mil-spec recoil spring plug. The guide is the short GI type and the plug "screws" onto the spring so it doesn't launch into low earth orbit if you lose control during assembly...

      HERE WE GO AGAIN !

      Two of my shooting buddies visited PSS last weekend. They were told that the reason for pistol primers costing $45.00 per 1000 was that the rent went up when PSS moved to the new location.

      Digital powder scale.

      My 25 year old Pact scale is the 110 volt one. That seems to be the only one they make now. It has a lifetime warranty except for the load cell.

      Digital powder scale.

      My Pact scale is close to 25 years old and has never had a problem of any sort. My 50 grain check weight is always dead on, so I don't even have to recalibrate.
