Here's an original Remington chambered in 38 rimfire. I've toyed with the idea of trying to adapt a 38 Special cylinder to it, but probably never will. Although it retains virtually no finish, it is tight as a new one. I think the ivory grips are a nice touch as well. They are yellowed from age, but remain undamaged.3 points

I think the most important thing that I can reiterate here is that I have no interest in selling TGO. I have been approached by other companies several times over the years. It's simply not something that I am interested in doing. TGO is a labor of love for me. It's not about money.3 points

As is well documented, I like lever guns. I parted ways with one recently (Thanks @Rob112o) in anticipation of buying a Marlin in 44-70 or another old Winchester SRC. However, I was checking local haunts for odd ammo and such and one of them had a used Marlin Golden 39a for sale. While I was not looking to buy a 39a, it was definitely on the “list”. This poor rifle was filthy. The bore looked good, so I think the PO must have cleaned it at times, but the action was filthy, as were all the nooks and crannies. Also, it had obviously been left too close to a campfire as side of the stock was charred and the butt plate was missing (it had an old ratty butt pad covering it. The rifle had a period correct Weaver V-22 rimfire scope as well. Unfortunately, the eyepiece was broken I looked it over and talked to the counter guy. It was listed at $600 but he offered to let it go at $500. I was going to wait because of some GB auctions I was bidding on, but when I checked them, I had been out bid. Fate was telling me to buy it. I figured that would have to drop another $150+ on a replacement factory stock, but the price was good. I wish I had taken before photos of how grungy the entire rifle was. I took it apart completely and cleaned up the metal parts with denatured alcohol. The stock and forend were cleaned up with denatured alcohol and acetone using 0000 steel wool to remove the grunge and old finish. The stock had been lacquered at some point and took more work. Since I was initially planning on replacing it, I was more aggressive and used some 150 and 400 grit sandpaper. I was able to remove the finish and the loose burnt wood until I got down to decent “charred” wood. Once done, I went back with several applications of Danish Oil. I think it turned out pretty nice. I actually like the look of the charred areas. I have a “new” butt plate on the way. Once I get it installed, I will see how much modification it will need to match new contour of the end of the stock. I can always replace the stock if I want to, but I like that I have saved the original stock as best as I can. Still on the hunt for a 45-70.2 points

You certainly won’t find a nicer Hi-Power with a bunch of mags for this kind of money! Re-listing this outstanding 1994 Hi-Power at not only a lower price, but now includes 7 mags! This pistol is in incredible condition. Bluing is outstandingly bright and shiny. Barrel rifling is beautiful. Very tight overall fit. One very faint hairline scratch on left side of frame near front of trigger guard, barely visible to the naked eye, but it is there. I have fired exactly 30 rounds through it. Unsure of previous count, but obviously extremely low as evidenced by the lack of wear.. Basically, an incredibly clean example of a 30 year old Hi Power. 1994 Browning Hi Power .40 S&W Steel Frame Ring Hammer Single Side Safety Novak Night Sights Still Glow Fairly Well (Dated 2005) 2 Stainless Mecgar 10 Round Mags 5 Blued Mecgar 10 Round Mags VZ G10 Grips No Box or Papers There is also a beautiful set of High Figure Cocobolo checkered grips available to buyer at additional cost. Pistol with 7 mags…… SOLD Pistol with all of the above AND the High Figure Cocobolo grips…… SOLD Please feel free to PM with any questions. I am NOT interested in any trades at this time.1 point

I’ll start by saying my affiliation with the company I’m talking about is through a friendship with the owner, years of working with his family and our years in the same unit in the military (only a decade or so apart). Byron started Black Armor Guns earlier this year and has worked with AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) personnel to achieve the quality of rifles he’s now building. The attention to detail he applies it far superior to any other high end AR I’ve used, nothing leaves his hands unless it’s as absolutely perfect. Innovations within his company are an ongoing process to ensure the highest quality is achieved while not completely breaking the bank. He is currently building two models; one being the Door Kicker meant for daily use and personal protection but still competition ready and the Champion which is a fully spec’d competition rifle. Next on the horizon is an AR-10 variant that is still being tested. The levels of accuracy being achieved by both models is sub MOA with factory off the shelf ammo. I spent several years working with a smith in Springfield building bolt actions and achieving sub MOA wasn’t always achievable with factory ammo and hours of load development were required to achieve the best results. Each rifle is hand built by him and each customer experience with him is individualized. I wanted to share his accomplishment because he’s a great friend and always there to provide a hand. Here are some links for the aforementioned rifles. https://fb.watch/n21ejnPu8U/1 point

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!1 point

Received an email from John with this info as well. Glad he's making it known as well. We all need to be very vigilant on who /what we support. Dig deep for ownership. Just look at Liberty Safe ownership.1 point

You can't beat that price! Wish you were way closer, it'd have been in my collection a month ago if you would just move to E. TN.1 point

I was 10 years old when The Man From U.N.C.L.E. premiered. Good show. I was a loyal watcher. But I really thought David McCallum shined as Ducky. A brilliant, yet slightly quirky and good natured scientist. The occasional episode where he was the main character were some of the best episodes. He will be missed.1 point

It’s been going on for a long time but it does seem to be more acute now. The sole purpose being to maximize profits at the expense of quality. If every last penny cannot be squeezed out of a holding then it goes on the chopping block. If a site does not turn a profit and can’t be sold? Turn it off. Same for goods or other services. I am also of the opinion in this day and age of rampant activism in every facet of life, “unsavory” or socially questionable entities would absolutely be acquired to shut them down. All that being said, I’ve never heard of this outfit and don’t know what they own…but I would opine that assets ultimately controlled by the Canadian government via regulations, outright demands, and whatnot, are more vulnerable to such influences than those held by US entities. Depending on how their business is set up.1 point
