Great firearm. I have a bunch of stuff up below typical market price... looks like many people aren't buying right now unless it's half price.

No, but thank you.

Magazine disconnect disables firing without magazine in place Loaded chamber indicator (hole above breach for visible confirmation) No 12 round mag included in OEM bundle Manual safety If anyone doesn't care for these things, I or any other competent gunsmith familiar with the P365 can disable/defeat/remove any of these features except for the LCI hole, which would have to be welded (more trouble than it's worth; better to buy an aftermarket slide instead).

Polymer80, manufacturer of arguably the most prolific 80% kit in the world, was forced to shut its doors two weeks ago. Employees were laid off abruptly, the website was taken down, and the doors are shuttered. I am friends with the owner, Loran Kelley, He said that Everytown USA was filing an average of two new lawsuits every month against his company, and with the backing of big anti-2A money, the litigation costs drowned him before he ever even managed to defend himself. A recent settlement with the city of Baltimore was for 1.2M, and that pales in comparison to overall legal defense fees. It was literally cheaper to settle that one lawsuit than carry on the fight, and dozens more fights remained. Note that this is DESPITE the fact that recent court rulings went against the ATF's extra-legislative redefinition of 80%'s as firearms, and also the recent Supreme Court Chevron Doctrine ruling strips the ATF (and other agencies) of this kind of latitude in the future, which would have bolstered Polymer80's defense. It's sad that we live in a nation where special interest money can destroy a legitimate company, supposedly protected by the Bill of Rights, simply by drowning it in litigation. Without recourse, without hope.

Il Duce, I carry a comprehensive line of AK parts on hand, and I can order even from many of the niche manufacturers. I'm north of town, on Harrison Bay. I have about 15 varieties of AK grips in my AK Grip Box. Welcome, FoxJordan. Great to have you in the community! We share a love of the AK platform - I came from California, where they told us to "embrace Communism," so this was my response...

I have an unfired Preban Colt Sporter Match HBAR 20" with original delta-style M16 handguard, rifle stock, etc in Chattanooga. I will list it for $1400 here. You have a great rifle, just not what I'm looking to trade for. If you sell it and want to look at mine, or you're trading anything else, let me know!

Already have my M107A1 and RPR's in every caliber down to 22LR, but I'll be here when you list the Deutsch spielzeuge!

One interested party PM'ed a question as to whether they are truly target triggers and hammers, or the standard 29" large hammer and spur, which still measure a healthy 0.4". Yes, as stated, these are the 0.5" target options.

AR barrels? What platform?

I'm a gunsmith with a couple decades of experience in barrel work, and I specialize in HK platforms, which are similar to the Stribog. Is it a gen 1 or 2? There's a difference in the barrel nut slot sizes. The importer will give a clue, but that's not definitive. I'm in Chattanooga, so it's a bit far for you, sorry.

Chattanooga $1300 $1200 each, or $2400 for the pair if you're collecting or perhaps setting up a dual wield retro-akimbo setup for the end of the world. Trades welcome as always. This pair of Smith & Wesson 29-2 revolvers are the best expressions of the Model 29 .44 Magnum line. These 8-3/8" barreled, dash-2 revision wheelguns incorporate all of the early product improvements, and none of the cost-cutting revisions of the later versions. They include pinned and recessed barrels, recessed cylinders, the improved ejector rod, and deletion of the 4th screw holding the cylinder stop spring. The Model 29 is best known as the sidearm of choice for "Harry Callahan" from the Dirty Harry movie franchise. I've had three of them for some time, thinking that all three of my kids would like to inherit one, but they've all taken to more practical barrel lengths in .357. So the Model 19's and 686's are staying, and this pair of 29's are hereby released. The third 29-2 stays, 'cause I have a few decades of shooting .44Mag left in me! Good condition, very faint turn rings, extremely low round counts (can't find any powder on either one, and I never shot these two). Strong bluing with very slight/hard to notice imperfections, probably from handling. No muzzle wear; as-new chambers and bore. Desirable target trigger, target hammer, and target sights make both of these "Triple T" guns. *Oops, I left a sticker on the lefthand gun's grip. That's not a blemish. Trivia: Dirty Harry features Model 29's in both 8-3/8" and 6-1/2" lengths, depending on what looked/worked best in each film scene. There's a fair chance these two were probably definitely not in the movie (but maybe not in the sequels, too).

Agreed!

It's hit and miss (sorry for the pun). I own 2 X95's and 2 SAR's. One of my X95's shoots *almost* 1MOA, the other shoots 2MOA, with 75-77gr ammo. Both open up another half inch with 55gr. One SAR shoots about 2MOA preferring 62gr, and the other will give me 1.5MOA with 77gr. Both open up only about 1/4" with any other ammo weight. That's about all these will do. They aren't the carbine you are shooting at opposite ridgelines across open canyons, anyway... minute of bad guy is all you need when you're bullpup doorkicking.

Exactly - I'm a full service retail gunsmith and SOT manufacturer with DRO mill and lathe... while we *could* do it... it's like hiring a full custom performance auto shop to make you new billet valve covers from scratch. When the top brands are mass-produced for $250, no need to pay $2500 for the same (or lesser) result.

I do those things, in Harrison on the bay right up Hwy 58. Perhaps others will chime in with other options.

PM sent and replied, thanks

I'm a S&W specialist in Chattanooga; I don't know of anyone east of me. Knox/Bristol folks, any leads? I usually switch out to all Wolff springs in the action, polish and tune appropriately. Occasional additional work includes upgraded hammers, bobbed hammers, match or combat triggers, extended firing pins, replacement of MIM parts with forged, etc.

For template-style cuts like a handgun RDS, a major CNC house with a program and setup is a far better option than a local gunsmith. They mount them in their fixture, press the button, and a few automatic operations later, you have the optic cut of your choice, perfect every time. Meanwhile, a master with a mill and precision measurements will take 25x more labor, and will not be as perfect as the CNC cut unless they also have a manual jig and fixture set up - which they don't, because it's a service best done in CNC.

I've done several UMP conversions and I'm familiar with the parts you used. Your rifle is probably not 922r compliant if you just used the complete German UMP lower, but you might be close. That should be a USA stock, and if you bought the HKUSA mags instead of the german UMP mags, that's 2 of the 3 parts you need to cancel out the 13 qualifying imported parts on the rifle. A USA barrel would finish it. Otherwise, you'd also need a US trigger, or the HKParts bolt catch (that's what people typically use).

I used to '67 Corvette, but, you know, Jill and I, we had a fire, and well anyway, with a barrel, we have, in relative terms, a very large plastic and metal in Delaware relative to our population, and then you take evidence with you, I mean c'mon man, it was with my Corvette. But anyway...

I'd be your buyer in Chattanooga - GLWS. Anyone who wants "all the calibers" in P320's must have a 357Sig!

Yes, when they began US production, they addressed the North American market's primary complaint, and incorporated a thumb release.
