I think on almost ANY topic you would have a choice of at least two forums to place it in. With your proposed question it could be general, hanguns, or parts and accessories... I think it depends on the question. If asking about a brand or laser sight or seeking reccomendations I would put it in parts and accessories. If asking about sights that be somewhat specific to handguns I could put it there. If asking about STYLE of sights I might be able to go general. if asking about installation it would go in the gunsmithing forum. and of course if I am making a joke about sights I could put it in the break room. But if its the gov't trying to ban a certain kind of sight I could put it in the 2nd amendment legistlation forum.
I've got something that I believe would right in here and it's done by a gunsmith here in SE Indiana. It's a dipping process from camo to just about anything. Here's a couple of before and after pics....no it's not a Colt but an old Spanish Star Model Super in 9mm Largo. He does very good work...check this out. Regards DickIt would be a subforum, just like long guns, handguns, general firearms, class III, ect. ect. I would consider buiding an AR, or AK, or duracoating something, all gunsmithing activities. while assembling an AR may not be a true "build" to some, it still involves many aspects of gunsmithing.
