    Fadir Tools in Ukraine

    I hope this is acceptable in this forum. Back in January, I found out about Fadir Tools in Ukraine. A quick trip around their site and I spied a couple of small axes that I though my sons-in-law would like. It took a couple of months go get them but they're worth the wait: The quality is...

    New to me Browning Medalist

    Back in '74, I got my first real job so my wife & I moved to Salem, Virginia. I stopped by a little gun shop a few blocks from our home and spied a gorgeous Browning Medalist in the display case. Now, back then, I couldn't even pay attention, much less the $500 price tag for that sweet target...

    Value of This Springfield, Nickel, .38 Super

    I'd like to request some guidance on pricing this nickel Springfield in .38 Super. I cannot find much Internet info on it. It doesn't look like it has been fired very much so it's clean as a pin with no handling marks: Thanks in advance for your consideration. Mike

    A trip to the LGS started innocently enough . . . .

    . . . . and, not long after I arrived, the owner said, "I've got something you need to see." I felt that little "twinge" that I first experienced in Vietnam when something was about to happen. Well, not really but I recognized the look on his face. He pulled out a cheap-looking pistol case and...

    Found an SA-35 Yesterday

    About ten days ago, I was in a nice gun store in Mebane, NC, and ended up going home with a nice, new Colt Python. While waiting around for the paperwork to go through, I spied a SA-35 in the display case. The salesman said they'd had a few days and only a couple of people had looked at it...

    Single Action Army

    Years ago, prior to going to Vietnam, I had a Colt SAA in .45 Colt and it's little brother in .22. Foolishly, when I got home, I traded them for a Colt 1911 Government model and a Hi-Power. Do I still have them . . . . heck no. (Never said I was smart.) Well, now that I'm retired, I've...

    Springfield M-1D

    I've liked M-1s for a long time and, about a year ago, acquired a nice Springfield that was manufactured right at the end of the government contract. It's original and I thoroughly enjoy firing it. Since then, I've been studying Mr. Garand's war-winning rifle and the sniper models really...

    Pvt. Teahan's M-1

    Gentlemen, I was visiting my local gunsmith a few days ago and he suggested I look up Private Martin Teahan's M-1. I did just that. I thought many of you would find this an interesting read: Pvt. Martin Teahan’s M1 Found 72 Years after D-Day Ammoland Inc. Posted on June 12, 2021 by F Riehl...

    Long Awaited Shiloh Sharps .45-70 Arrived

    I left on a nice road trip a few weeks ago and, of course, I got a call from the LGS and my long-awaited Shiloh Sharps in .45-70. They had some fun with me by mocking up a suppressor and saying I owed them for threading the octagon barrel. Good fun! Anyway, I got home and mounted the Montana...

    SA-35 Back from BH Spring Solutions

    I received my SA-35 in December and managed to put close to 400 rounds through it in a couple of weeks. Mostly, I was using Winchester White Box. Once I got used to the sights, I started putting rounds where they should be. I was having to aim in the 1 o'clock position about 1.5 to 2 inches...
