      Conversion cylinder for 2nd Gen Colt 1860 Army

      Just the cylinder is already more than I paid for the revolver! That's OK though. Thanks for the conformation it's Uberti.

      Conversion cylinder for 2nd Gen Colt 1860 Army

      Those look good (expensive though!) but I don't know which to order, Pietta or Uberti. Just go by cylinder length?

      Conversion cylinder for 2nd Gen Colt 1860 Army

      Does anyone make a good conversion cylinder for a 2nd gen Colt 1860 Army? I read that Uberti made these for Colt, is that accurate? Thanks.

      Gen3 Glock-17 Carbine ?

      It needs a nice violin case. ;-)

      Thoughts on private gun sales

      When I lived in Illinois I had to record the buyer's name, DOB, address, FOID card number, make, model, and serial number of the gun, shoe size, date of sale etc. and keep it for at least ten years. I also had to observe the state's mandatory waiting period. Now that I live in Indiana I follow...

      PLEASE, PLEASE, correct this lie every time you hear it. We are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic.

      That so many don't understand our form of government is a testament to the poor quality of public education. But, let's not be too pedantic about it. A representative republic is one form of democracy among many, 'democracy' covers a lot of ground. Representative democracies and direct...

      22LR Pistol Purchase recommendations

      Rugers are great, those have been my favorites for 40 years. But only one of the .22 pistols I've been having the most fun with lately is a Ruger, that's a .22 LCP. I love that thing, I've taken to carrying it whenever I'm mowing the grass or otherwise working outside. There are some small metal...

      ATF - Local PD confrontation

      I just saw the video and, after watching it a several times (it never gets old!), looked into the story. There are longer videos on YouTube. This happened in Columbus Ohio two years ago. This same fed was previously arrested in a Kroger's for shoplifting, so he's obviously not too bright. He's...

      What are people likely to do with their AR pistols after Augusts rule change?

      If people building pistols have the 4999 checklist and are using it to guide their builds, why should they stop? It won't be a felony to own a pistol with a brace, just SOME pistols with braces. Even then, removing the brace solves the problem. Or registering it as a short-barreled rifle, if you...

      Question for the 1911 guys?

      I've read that it used to be pretty common in the past, especially with law enforcement. A roll of rubber bands held down the safety and improved the grip. The bands made kind of a palm swell, and the rubber was a bit 'tacky.' If you wanted to get fancy a gunsmith could pin the safety in place...

      Biden took 'pills' under wife Jill's supervision before every public appearance

      Even that is a stretch. Her doctoral dissertation is pretty bad. There's a link to it at the start of the story. https://cnsnews.com/commentary/hans-bader/inside-dr-jill-bidens-error-ridden-dissertation

      When did the ATF begin to photograph 4473s?

      They've been doing it for years, and have talked about it. They insist it's not for the purpose of creating a database, just to preserve records, of course. That's BS for two reasons, creating a database once the information has been scanned into a computer will be easy, all the hard work will...

      Lucky to still have my Friend, and so many Fails here!

      Glad your friend is OK, physically and legally. But legally he could have been in trouble if he hadn't been in a 'friendly' jurisdiction. He would have been justified in shooting immediately, before the guy with the knife paused, but once he turned and ran that ended the confrontation. His...

      Illinois foundry worker dies after falling into crucible filled with 2,600F molten iron.

      That's horrible. The only comparable death I've heard of was that of an ocean researcher who had been in a underwater habitat for several days. When the habitat was raised and placed on the deck of a ship the internal pressure was still the same as it had been at the sea floor. The pressure has...

      CNN - There's no way to fix the Second Amendment. Let's just get rid of it

      The only thing wrong with the Second Amendment is how much it has been weakened by the federal government.
