Comment found on another site in response to this being posted:
"Given that the Tisas Regent BR9 has disappeared from the market, my bet is on them being rebadged by Springfield. There is a distant outside chance that Dasan Machineries of South Korea has tooled up for BHP without anyone noticing, but at last check they only offered barrels. Dasan has definitely been providing support for SAI’s M1A and Saint lines, and probably their M1911 as well after SAI cut ties with Brazil’s IMBEL – Fabrica de Itajuba roughly a decade ago.
Dasan clearly lost out when their biggest US client, Remington, tanked. SIG-Sauer Inc. reportedly dropped them as a subcontractor a few years ago. Dan Wesson has been another client, and it should be interesting to see if their parent company CZ drops Dasan in favor of Colt’s in-house production capabilities."

When did they phase out mercuric primers? That's what I'd be worried about most with components that old.
The first non-corrosive primers were made in the 20's, but didn't become very popular until the mid-50's when many of the world's military organizations began switching over ...

If you don't get the jab, we'll let you die. This is the second instance of this I've heard of.
Two of the largest hospitals in Northeast Ohio will now require their transplant candidates and living donors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/ohio-hospitals-covid-19-vaccinations-donors
I'm surprised this wasn't already in effect. Transplants are risky enough when the recipients and donors don't already have communicable diseases, and typically require that both are up to date on about every vaccination available. Given the expense, risk factors and long waiting lists for organs i would have thought most places were already doing this ...

Yeah, there's no "cheap" milsurps anymore. I used to have a C&R license and let it run out because there was just not any real bargains anymore.
"Bargains" are still out there, they're just not $79 anymore ...

I'm not sure what your definition of "cheap" is, but the Rossi and Taurus revolvers are inexpensive as compared to the name brands ...

Yes, their prices are up significantly as well, compared to years back. What's your point?

Oh yeah, M1 Carbines used to be dirt cheap. SKS's used to be $100 about anywhere.
True, but as a poster recently pointed out over on Gunboards, completely irrelevant. Prices from 5, 10 or 30 years ago have no bearing on today's market, and it's obvious that collectors are more than willing to pay up for examples to fill (or in some cases, start) their collections. The waves of cheap imported milsurps are over, and prices aren't likely to fall significantly in the future ...

Apparently, primers are still selling at those elevated prices. Don't look for them to go down much as long as the supply remains tight ...

What a surprise, the same board who rubberstamps his every action, keeps on re-hiring Wayne and his crooked cronies, and who removes any member who dares to question or criticize Mr. Embezzlement "investigated and cleared" LaPierre. That should make you feel all warm and fuzzy ...

Good job with the cosmoline. That martha frackin stuff is the devil. Nice looking setup. If i can find you a box of rounds, Ill pick em up
I know it's not all that relevant, but it's virtually certain that what he removed was common grease, not cosmoline. Virtually nobody outside the US used true cosmoline to any appreciable extent, as it was a good bit more expensive and really didn't do anything that everyday grease wouldn't do nearly as (probably equally) well. I don't think I've ever seen a milsurp rifle that originated outside the US that was stored using cosmoline, albeit most people use that term to describe the dried storage grease commonly applied to those firearms long ago ...

Al Wilson was a goodun for sure. Congrats to him.
Definitely. I first met him while he was still at JCM, when he was being recruited alongside one of my former players. Al was a fine player and an even better young man. Congratulations to him on a well-deserved honor.
