They were waiting to hear the vehicle doors slam, engine start, and the rattles as you drove away... LOL

That's a very nice collection. Enjoy!

@Talyn - - That's a very nice looking rig! I'm betting that it shoots as well as it looks. I once owned a Remington 600 in 6mm Rem, as well as a re-barreled Mauser 98 in 257 Roberts. The Remington 600 was fairly accurate and my favorite truck gun, but the custom barreled Mauser was dead-nuts...

That sounds logical enough... On my "modern" single actions, however, wrestling to get the cylinder re-aligned with the cylinder pin so that the pin will engage is sometimes quite challenging. On the Colt cap-and-ball revolvers, the cylinder pin stays attached to the frame (or is it to the...

Just curious: How does an FRT actually accelerate the cycle rate in an AP5 over that of an MP5? Does the bolt actually run FASTER in an AP5 and the FRT simply "unleashes" it to do so continually? I have NO experience with either an mp5 nor its semi-auto only counterpart (SP5? or AP5?) either...

I'm not trying to stir controversy, but I'll state that I favor AR/M16/M4 fire control systems that are NOT cartridge based as are the FRTs that I've seen. The Super Safety isn't a "drop in cartridge" part, so I think that I would favor it over the FRTs. Here's my reasoning: The AR15/M16/M4...

Agreed. A GOOD fiber optic front sight is extremely helpful when any decent amount of lighting is available. Tritium "night sights" are helpful to me only if the light level gets low enough that the tritium's glow becomes visible to me.

Yes, that's it. This is the first "tactical reload" that Clint performs in the final showdown. I was wrong about the number of reloads in the scene. There are a total of three, not two. As he executes this first reload, if you watch closely, his coat moves back slightly and you can see the...

I think you are correct. For the last several months, every time I go to the outdoor range where I shoot, I hear the "brrrrt" sound of someone shooting their FRT equipped AR in "giggle" mode. (It might not be technically accurate, but I include the Super Safety in the same category as an FRT)...

Sorry for replying to myself... But... I thought I'd share an amusing (but true) "reloading" incident that I happened upon in my readings. Somewhere in the midst of Billy Dixon's autobiography (available for free on the interwebs), Billy related an incident where, while fighting off some...

No truer word have ever been written.

I'll always keep a little Hoppes # 9 around to dab on when I want to smell good.

I appreciate the pics and descriptions because I've never had an original creative thought in my life. I've stolen all my "good ideas" from others.

You, sir, are the MASTER of understatement.

Finally! I've waited for YEARS for someone to explain what watering the lawn has to do with cleaning guns. NOW I understand! :cool: :p Obviously, they are complementary tasks.

You guys (any gals on here?) are a bunch of animals! Some of ya have more than one! LOL. Where I'm from, we don't ever ask how much money someone has nor how many guns they own. It ain't polite to do so. But if you choose to share that info voluntarily, that's OK. Just don't cross the line...

From my reading of various history sources, I believe you are correct. The multiple revolver approach was very common. In fact, carrying multiple handguns as holstered pairs was a very common martial tactic even preceding the cap-and-ball revolver era. With the advent of the cap-and-ball...

I hereby validate your choice of holster! It's a GREAT choice! I am trying to convey that I AGREE with your choice.

Interesting. I can't state what the letter of the law (GCA '68) at that time was, but somewhere around 1975 I purchased at least TWO handguns at the ripe ol' age of 19 from an FFL. Filled out the forms. Paid my money. Left with the guns. I hope they don't dig the guy up and prosecute him...

Ya. How can you imagine that he/she is a Fed? We all know they don't do such things. No. Never. We're just being paranoid.
