    Model 70 in .30-06 Question

    Does anyone know of a custom gun maker that will manufacture a Model 70, pre-64 with a precision .30-06 barrel. I know of Texas Brigade Armory but I'm looking for a custom manufacturer who will do fiberglass stocks and has a reputation for premium quality. At this point price is not an obstacle.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield EMP feed issues

    It's not a limp wrist, I've had 3 experienced shooters try it, we also checked the extractor. I'm calling Springfield monday and I'm going to send it to them and let them figure it out. I'm hoping that it will come back repaired, if not then i'll go from there.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield EMP feed issues

    Of your FTF possibilities it's 2 of them, the rounds appear not to come all the way out of battery and sticking on the feed ramp. Many times simply pulling the slide back and letting it go again is enough to fully seat but sometimes its not enough. The HP ammo FTF about 75% of the time, the...

    Really...I'll call Customer Service on Monday, thats awesome. I did some more research and apparently there's some design issues with the EMP feed ramp and particularly when feeding HP ammo.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield EMP feed issues

    I've got a Springfield EMP 9 that I've had some serious feed issues with. The FTF is more serious and more consistent 75% with Federal HST 147 +p loads, remington 124 gr +p and hornady 135 gr flex +p. FMJ rounds FTF about 30% of the time. Any ideas what could be going on, I've rebuilt all of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry knife preferences

    Benchmade AFO II auto and a Laguiole with a damascus steel blade (currently under repair) cause I was stupid, but sharp as a razor. I also have a leek that I carry sometimes but its more for opening letters and cutting open boxes etc.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns what is your other concealed carry?

    My primary CCW gun is either a Walther ppk/s with a galco SOB holster or a Xds in .45 with a crossbreed holster. I also have a bond arms bond ranger II in .38/.357 Magnum if I have to carry my pistol in my pocket, at the beach or wearing a shirt that I can't ccw with.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Question/Comparison

    I've spent lots of time using a Glock. Trusted my life to one more than once, however, with my hand size the glock 21 is not conducive and they don't make a .45 in the compact frame. My job's not hush hush or secret squirrel or any other crap that people try to push off but they do require...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Question/Comparison

    I've been doing a lot of research on the Dan Wesson Specialist. So far everything I've read, including about the accuracy has been outstanding. I'd rather spend a little bit more money and come out with an outstanding weapon. I appreciate all the feedback and answers I've gotten. I'll let...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Question/Comparison

    I work for a private security company, not in security but in training. We are provided with small arms, however a glock 19 is not something I wish to trust my life to especially in some of the worst places on the planet. If it comes down to a gunfight and I have to draw a pistol, I want to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Question/Comparison

    I'm starting to sense a pattern here, Dan Wesson might be the way to go. I have questions though because I'm not very familiar with them. #1 on the Specialist I will definitely not be using the Stainless finish, however how good is the matte black finish. I do work in different parts of the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Question/Comparison

    I need to purchase a 1911 in the next week or so, this will be used for every day carry as well as for duty use. I have the opportunity to buy a Kimber SIS Custom RL or I am also interested in a Springfield TRP Operator. Any experiences or comments you have about either of these would be...
