Customized Guns all depends on what you call Custom. Replacing Parts aren't really Custom to me I can do that and have done, replaced some Triggers, some Internal parts that were worn out or just cheap cast pieces that some manufacturers use. I've known some guys that when it comes to the 1911's they seek out the top builders to do the work from the ground up and some run $10,000 depending on the Smith, you have Jason Burton, Chambers, Ted Yost, and a few others that comand a premium and they may take a year or two to be completed if you can even get your name for a spot on their books. When it comes to Customized Guns those that I named if I had the funds and a chance I would jump on it. As far as having Custom work done again not just replacing parts it's more of an individuals preference to what they want done. I've seen some guns custom engraved with someone's name or initials and that would affect the price and value to the gun in negative way unless you had the same initials. Some go way over board on engraving a gun, to me less is great, now if you find a notable engraver then I could see paying a premium, there's a fellow in Mexico that owns a little restaurant and he hand engrave's in his spare time and he's very good at it and his work demands a premium, I'm not sure of his name or even if he's still living. It all comes down to your individual tastes as to wether you purchase or want to pay up for one if everything about it appeals to your taste. But someone saying they have a Customized gun and you ask what's the custom work done and all they had was a Bbl replaced, or a Trigger Group that you can drop into any AR and certain Bolt Action Rifles isn't considered a custom gun even if Larry Vickers put the Trigger Assembly in, just my opinion. Sorry for the long post.

Bought at auction. Always thought I’d want to reload but know I’ll never get around to it. Was told everything to reload was present but I have not used and it very knowledgeable regarding. dies for .38 and .223 everything in pic is included. $350 OBO

In the FAQ section questions 16 and 17 state that the ATF does not regulate a brace itself.

With me it depends on what the mods were and who did them. I won't touch a gun Bubba has worked on or built no matter how good he thinks he is or even if he actually is that good. I just don't want to take that chance. OTOH something like a Wilson Combat 1911 or C&S Hi-Power are well worth the price. These will actually gain value as time goes on. I am guilty of tinkering with my own guns. But I know what I'm capable of and what to leave alone. If i chose to sell it, I generally put it back to as close to stock as I can.

As deerslayer pointed out, what's the first thing you do when handed a gun? You check it yourself! Baldwin didn't. The gun was in his hand. He pulled the trigger. HE is responsible for that bullet. Until now the armorer's part in all this has been unclear. Now they're saying that she loaded the gun. I'm afraid that girl is screwed. The producer that handed Baldwin the gun made a plea deal. Other wise, he'd be up on charges too. He knew he had screwed up and covered his ass. Bottom line: if someone hands you a gun, its YOUR responsibility to make sure its safe. So now charges have been filed. But given the state of our justice system, it could still be years before this actually goes to trial.

This has me wondering about other movie stunts that are inherently dangerous. If actor A throws actor B off a roof as part of the script and the safety harness or crash bag fails, would we be talking about how actor A is responsible? A stunt coordinator was supposed to setup the equipment properly. Why would we expect actor A to be knowledgeable about inspecting the safety gear? That's what the stunt coordinator is for. Or if actor A is handed a real knife instead of a collapsible prop knife and stabs actor B. Is actor A supposed to check the knife to be sure the spring works? Again, someone upstream is supposed to be getting all that stuff right so the actor can, you know, "act". Other than having different procedures for a gun vs. a prop knife vs. a fall harness, what makes an accidental shooting different from an accidental stabbing or fall for the actor? I get the negligence issues for the armorer and producer (and whoever brought the live ammo onto the set). Yeah, we all here on TGO know the proper safety steps with a firearm, but in that sense we're closer to being the stunt coordinators/armorers than we are being the actors. It seems that as an actor it's a stretch to charge him. In that situation, even if someone hands him a revolver on a set and says "cold gun" AND he checks it and see shells in the cylinders, I can see where he might still think they're dummy rounds so the gun doesn't look empty. The cylinders need to have "bullets" in them or we'd be the first ones pointing at the screen saying "stupid liberal! his gun's empty!" He may not have the gun knowledge to make that determination and as an actor he shouldn't be expected to.

The armorer did NOT hand Baldwin the weapon. Which begs the question WHY they had the weapons out & were using them w/o the armorer present. The assistant director Dave Halls handed Baldwin the gun (not a "prop" gun) & stated it was 'cold' to indicate unloaded. We know that was a lie. Three people were charged. Dave Halls, who already pled guilty & struck a deal with the prosecutor to testify against Baldwin & the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed. Baldwin accepted a gun from a person who was not the hired armorer, accepted that it was not loaded w/o checking it himself, pointed it at a human being (Halyna Hutchins), cocked the hammer, & pulled the trigger. That makes him guilty & liable for the subsequent results. As the movie's director, he's guilty for not following safety rules on his own production. I am pretty sure Mr. Baldwin did not intentionally shoot two people, killing one of them. But he's the big boss. It's his production & his movie set. He hired a young, inexperienced armorer, then handled weapons w/o the armorer present. He and Mr. Halls were sloppy in checking the gun & handling of the gun. They are both guilty. Hall has already pleaded out to that fact. You have to wonder if the script had called for Baldwin to point the gun @ his own head or chest & cock the hammer & pull the trigger, would he have been so sloppy in accepting someone else's word that the gun was 'safe'? I doubt it. So, now he gets to explain to a jury why he was so negligent when it was someone else's life on the line.

Great shooting gun, don't really want to sell, but looking to fund another project. Taylor and Co. From what I understand, they take Rock Island guns, and trick them out a little bit. This has G10 grips, extended ambi controls, and a full length guide rod that does not require any special tools for takedown. I think I have 2 or 300 rounds through this gun, all flawless, not a single hiccup. Comes with 2 10 round mags. $450

Here's another one. A nice used Smith&Wesson 10-5 S&W 38 SPECIAL CTG with a Tyler T Grip, no box. Asking $625 CASH. I'm in the Whitehouse area and can meet in Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Nashville area but I can drive a little to make a the deal. Thanks.

This is a general question and NOT directed at anyone. I have seen pistols for sale in the past that have various customizations- some heavily customized. Most list the custom features and the costs, which are usually added to the asking price. I tend to not be interested in heavily altered pistols- stippled, cerakoted, aftermarket barrels, etc., even if it is a little discounted, let alone listed at a premium. I think it’s because I see them as someone else’s dream gun that didn’t work out like they wanted. I prefer unaltered stock pistols. I’m interested in other views on this, as I might not be thinking correctly.

I have several NEF single shot rifles for sale or trade. Buyer must be a TN CC permit holder. 243 - $350 30-30 - $350 30-06 - $425 22 Hornet - $325 - SPF Trades considered S&W or Ruger revolver 357 Mag 4" barrel or less Henry Lever Action Big Boy X model 30-30

The thread in question is over on Pistol-Forum.com. If y'all aren't already members there, you're missing out on some excellent information in general. PF was started quite some time ago by a gentleman named Todd Louis Green. Todd unfortunately passed away a few years ago, but PF continues on thanks to the dedication of others.

Wow, that video is INCREDIBLE! That is one talented lawyer right there.

The 2 meter band is far from being dead. The number of active repeaters would show the 2 meter band to be very active. While I spend more time on HF, I also use VHF radio several times a week.

Like I said, absolutely no reason to ever point a gun at someone. Stupidity

There’s also the fact that that they make all sorts of fake and replica guns that can appear to function correctly on screen by gas operation and such.

I don’t buy this at all. Camera tricks have existed for decades that negate the need to ever point a gun at someone. There is no reason that anyone on that set should ever need to point a gun anyone else.

Weekend bump and price drop 3,000

come on man

I recently purchase the 856 Ultra Lite and it's a pretty decent revolver. Not optic ready but I just wanted a truck gun that didn't cost as much as my Smiths Rugers or Colt. Pretty snappy recoil but good combat accuracy. 6 rounds and a front night sight at a good price. I have installed Galloway Precision springs and haven't shot it yet since but the trigger is smooth and lighter enough to suit me.

I'll take it if you can wait till next Saturday for me to drive to you if need be I can send you a postal money order

As Grayfox54 says, know what you're capable of doing before "customizing." My skills are such that I would not attempt many things I see done. My eyesight and hands are not good for many changes anymore. I personally buy stock condition and generally leave it as is. My only exception to this is a few I've bought from 2 gentlemen here, whose abilities are known to me and this forum. Although these pistols were slightly modified, I knew these men and their reputations and work for items like triggers and sights.

INSANE! Owning is ok? Just can't mount it? Sounds like the old auto-knife days when they could be sold; it just wasn't legal to carry them.

If you're still looking, I can help you out anywhere in the state of TN.

This is direct impingement.

Have eggs, willing to trade.

I think I read earlier that three people are being charged. I don’t know what movie set procedures are, but if anyone hands me a gun, the first thing I do is make sure it’s empty. If I get hired to play the bad guy in the next Jack Ryan movie (probably not gonna happen), I’ll still immediately check any gun a prop guy hands me. If they don’t like it, they can fire me. I’m an instructor and competitive shooter and this mentality is in my bone marrow. Baldwin, probably not so much, but I doubt he’s had much training and detests guns anyway.

Here's a couple of more pictures.

If I'm buying at a private sale, I want a fresh firearm. If I don't know that you are an expert gunsmith (not an assembler) I don't trust you with a Stanley screwdriver, a Dremel, your wife's fingernail file, or your handloads fired in that gun. Particularly if your first name is Bubba. That changes if you're Wilson Combat or a host of reputable outfits as they stand behind their guns. A private seller doesn't. I don't see the need to send my CZs off to Cajun or any other outfit - not because they are suspect -but because I can do things for myself within reason and can save big bucks. I don't fall prey to the concept that if I spend more money the gun will shoot better. I also don't expect to pay for someone's customization at what they paid for that work, much less if they did it. That's ludicrous and may drive down the price. There are a few gunsmiths where their work is legendary and worth the added cost. Then there's everyone else. That's just me.

Some actual facts about this whole deal rather then grumblings and conjecture, -Nioa is a privately owned company and a family owned and run company. The largest in Australia. -Nioa started as a small business, a single retail store, and grew into the the defense contractor for the Australian military. Their story is not that dissimilar to Barrett's -They supply everything from fighting knives to 155mm armillary munitions, many items sourced from other small independent companies like ZU Bladeworx. -If it is Firearms or ammunition related in Australia or New Zealand it was probably sourced, imported, and distributed by Nioa. They are already partners with numerous firearms related companies including Glock, Ruger, Remington, Marlin, Savage, and Colt. -Nioa is not just a military contractor. They supply firearms for sporting and hunting markets in both Australia and New Zealand. -They have been direct partners with Barrett for more than a decade as the importer of Barrett products into Australia and New Zealand. This includes the recent partnership with the Land 159 Tranche 1 contract when the Barrett M107A1 was selected as the anti material sniper rifle. -Nioa previously purchased the Fieldcraft product line from Barrett and will begin producing that product line again in the near future. -Nioa already had a presence here in the US and connections/partnerships with both the US Gov and US military. The purchase of Barrett expands that presence and gives them a production capability in the US they did not previously have. Australians citizens can and do own firearms even though they do have restrictions. Their current gun laws are probably less restrictive than California, Illinois, New York, and a few of the other North Eastern states here. They are certainly less restrictive than many other developed nations in Europe. Nioa, like Barrett, looks to have always been on the side of protecting and/or expanding gun rights in Australia.

Sort of. Those engineers are having to work within legal system constructs and not just pure mechanics. They are also designing on a mass production model, so the tolerances are accounted for to ensure the widest range of base functionality. The whole 1911 thing is a good example. Military grade 1911's were the AK's of the handgun world. Incredibly loose and not terribly accurate without work. Customization is what makes them great guns. So much so, that nearly all 1911's made currently are customized 1911's based on one off's of the past. That being said, I prefer minimal customizing when I buy second hand and I tend to customize parts that can be taken back to stock fairly easily or with known proven parts. I tend to stay away from custom colors, frame modifications, stippling, relief cuts etc.

Rep. Gaetz didn't file this thinking it was anything other than a press release.

The ruling final date hasn't taken effect yet.

So did the ATF put anything in this new rule to compensate the citizens who don’t want to own a SBR? Or did they basically rob us all of $$$.

That’s a great deal. To whoever picks this up - Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

With near certainty, "yes". Contact your local Sheriff to know for sure: Lauderdale Co. Sheriff - Steve Sanders (635-1311) or (221-3400)

Don't be at all surprised when Baldwin claims to be a completely innocent victim and never accepts any blame what-so-ever. In fact, don't be surprised when he doubles down on his gun control efforts because now he "knows" what its like to take a life. Btw: this azzhole anti-gunner has now killed and injured more people than I have in my 67 years as a gun owner.
