When I was growing up I was hooked on English cars....

Anyone have one of the Turkish MP 5 clones? Comments on quality/performance welcome. I had a Grecian Formula HK G3 from Springfield Armory back in the day. (serial number 003!) It was a great rifle but I sold it during the crazy money assault weapons ban.

Finally put in a little bench time this morning. A Yugo AK-47 that came with a polymer fore grip as I got it, I removed that and installed this Krebs Custom unit so I could put an EOTECH holographic sight on it. Of course, I failed to take into account the gas cut off on the Yugo, so it was a...

I am first to admit after decades of hossing a 1911 around in a Milt Sparks inside the waistband holster it is a chore. It is big and heavy and you have to dress around it. To me, it was always worth it. I saw the J Frame Smith and Wesson or the Colt Detective Special as backup guns. But I also...

Larry Potterfield did a series of videos on building the Nearly Perfect Safari Rifle, available free on the MidwayUSA website. Well, the prototype of that rifle will be on the live auction at the Columbia Missouri Friends of the NRA fundraising dinner. Here is your chance to bid on a lively...

I used to have a Ciener Conversion, but upgraded to a Marvel several years ago. It shoots like a match pistol...which is why I suppose that many people use them as such. To me, it is a low operating cost practice tool. After swapping it around a bit from 1911 to 1911, I figured it required a...

What I mean by that is preparing to reload takes a bit of time, like chopping all the vegetables and meat when cooking Chinese food. But the actual reloading, like the cook time after everything is prepared, goes fast. Here is how I have done it for years. I am almost 60 but have only been...

Gents, let me share a story with you. Years ago a friend stopped by my office with some .44 Magnum brass. By this time I had been handloading for decades, having started in college. He asked me to evaluate the pressure signs. I looked at the primers, thinking I knew what I was talking about, and...

So I ended up with a Loaded 1911, and I liked everything about it...well, except for the forward cocking serrations. They leave me cold, just as a rail on a 1911 does. The trigger was great out of the box. So, what to do? Fit a top end off a Mil-Spec of course. Harks back to the Pachmayr Combat...

Seems to be a lot of crossover between gun folks and car folks...guess it is a fascination with machines because I also like watches and motorcycles. Any other car guys on the forum?
