    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hi-Power work

    I've decided on getting a used BHP. Upon delivery I am looking to get new sights, rebluing, magazine well extension, beavertail extension, and trigger job. I am still on the fence about a new barrel, at least for the near future. I contacted a few smiths about getting the work. C&S is...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Browning HP Makeover

    Thanks Prom, I think I might grab one. Next question: where to get a barrel (BarSto is more expensive than the pistol and has quite a wait, and EFK FireDragons have terrible reviews and shoddy customer service)?

    Broken ankle squat delay question

    I appreciate the input. The break was low on the fibula, but the incision is now healed. With the long screws removed I can walk fine, but running seems to be a similar experience to Opelboy's. Walking seems to be the only rehab that I will most likely get.

    Broken ankle squat delay question

    So I broke my fibula playing hockey last December and just played my first game back; it sucked. Anyway, I was squatting and deadlifting weekly before the injury, but haven't been able to for months. I figured you guys would be my only resource for advice about knuckleheads trying to squat...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns wife self defense weapon...

    P.S. She also thinks my Baby Browning is something out of a Cracker Jack box. All that aside, I believe a hi-cap 9 mm is probably the best option for most women (Please forgive the sexist generalisms, lady SH members).

    Sidearms & Scatterguns wife self defense weapon...

    Read Graham's post above (and NOT because he's also a Michigander). I have purchased a Sig Mosquito, Springfield XD, and 4" 1911 to no avail. It is ultimately up to the woman to decide.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help with 1911 commander choice

    Spend some cash if it's going to be anything other than a play-toy. I listened to some other forums and bought a Filipino 4"er. Trust me when I say my Kimber is much more reliable. First off, when the sights didn't fit the factory decided to grind the slide, not the site. Little shortcuts...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Browning HP Makeover

    I am planning on an FEG clone in the near future. Any suggestions as far as doing a similar project on the pistol? I don't have the money for the real-deal right now, but would like something other than a 45ACP 1911 for range duty. As always, thanks for your suggestions, JA.

    Remington 783?

    So I am reading the latest Shooting Times and see Remington's new 783. Is it just me, or is Remington trying hard to make a Savage in a green box? I read Accustock, Accutrigger, and floating bolt head with new names. Am I out of line or do you guys concur? -JA

    Give me a brake... Ross Schuler

    I have had 1 brake done by Ross and about a half dozen by Nate. All of them are awesome, and compare favorably with my Holland brake. Plus, both Nate and Ross will contour, thread, and have custom lengths cut to your specifications. At half the price of Holland's, either option can't be beat...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FEG questions

    So I saw Sarco's ad in the latest Shotgun News, and now I want an FEG Hi-Power. I saw the $275 price and called, but they are gone. Two questions: 1) Are you guys happy with any you may have purchased over the years; and 2) Where might I look for similarly priced FEGs if Sarco doesn't stock up...

    Member Link Up Northern Michigan

    Oppy, PM me and I will give you my number. My wife and I just had our first kid, so free time is few and far between. That said, a trip to 1000+ is pretty tempting. I would certainly go at least once or twice. Thanks again, JA.

    In Stock : Fulton Armory BCGs $199 shipped

    I ordered a hard chromed BC from these guys in December and received it pretty quickly. Problem is, when I finally finished the build a month ago, the BC wouldn't cycle properly. The BC isn't smooth, the circumfrence feels a few dozen dimes stacked together. I ended up having an AR that won't...

    Member Link Up Northern Michigan

    If you guys decide to meet up, please let me know. I am about 15-20 minutes east of Lansing. I have been itching to get up to Cadillac and try that 1000 yarder out, or over to Ypsi for the 600. Keep me posted. -JA

    Seeking Grendel wisdom from reloading wizards

    Excuse my naivette, but is there a source of Grendel brass from other cartridges. I just started reloading, and you gentlemen turned me on to using 308 for 260 brass; so I was hoping that there was a similar possibility for the rare/expensive Grendel case. The ammunition will be used for a 20"...
