Gad! And I thought I did good to "convert" an NVA officer at 816 meters[paced across a rice paddy]with a single shot from a Browning BAR [30-06]Of course, this was in 1964, in the RVN and technology...

Bruce, I tried your solution many years ago[while in Viet Nam],it is not a really workable solution for reasons cited above. A possible solution would be to pull your bullets and replace them with HP...

Thanks Johnny, I have a 1969 Commander that is unfired but with the "crappy" shrunken grips. Nick

Johnny, Do you know what was the first year of the brown plastic grips that shrink and warp? Thanks, Nick

Jim K, Can you site a reference for the "three snap lanyard"? I'm always interested in Horse Cav stuff but I've never heard of a lanyard as you describe. Thanks, Nick

I believe that's a 1950 Commander[second year of production] That's a pretty rare piece,so I wouldn't fool with it.Those grips are really fragile and will shrink and warp,if they have not already...

Well, I'll answer my own question. I got a close look today and it's not a Colt. It's Umarex with the Colt name on it.No AR-15 parts interchange and the longest,dumbest, banana mag. you ever saw! If...

While at the Montgomery[AL] gun show two weeks ago I saw 2 Colt AR-22 rifles. Has anyone here tried one out yet? Nick

Jim K, is right. That # is an assembly number and should match the assembly # on the frame under the trigger guard.The loading gate was polished on the frame prior to casehardening. The parts were...

cplsteve,I look through parts boxes at gunshows when I can but I have not scored front or rear sights of the early types.I know a fellow,in passing, who has a plastic parts box with several early and...

cplsteve, as you know the 1911 sight had a "u"notch,while the 1911A1s have a squared bottom notch. Additionally, the actual channel forward of the rear notch have some different shapes. You could...

Hitch,long time no hear,hope all is well with you. As you look from the rear to the front,sight s/b removed from left to right. Obviously, put the new on in from right to left. If the new rear is too...

jughead, Nice rig, INDEED. Thanks for sharing,Nick

John, I hope I'm not violating any security but,between the old UDT [Frogmen] and the Navy Seals was a little known and super secret force known as the Penguins. It is rumored that they marked team...

I like the comment about building a fence from your porch. Good fences make for good neighbors doncha know! Nick

Although I am retired Army and still contract to the Army as an instructor[46 years of direct association]I have to point out that the Army and AAF were not the only military arms that made victory a...

40mm. Bofors anti aircraft guns in direct fire would do the trick.The idea John, is kill their children before they kill ours. Nick

speedgunner, I hope the person you are having trouble with isn't located in Jacksonville, Arkansas.If he is, pm me through your regular server.[not through this sight].I'll tell you what finally...

Doggone you, John I wanted to say that! Yep, a real vote of confidence in the American GI[all services ,both genders]I wonder just who the heck is going to be fooled and rush right out to vote for...

I want to know where she got the hair from.I know the other part was hers from the "git-go"! Nick

Does this mean that since I'm 65+ I can't teach Army Helicopter Pilots to fly any more or do their tactical missions any more? Is this 100% disability? Mr. Obama, send me the money,I be disabled by...

As a helicopter pilot and instructor for 43+ years I can say without reservation,"Speed IS life, but it's ROTOR speed,stupid!" Nick

Knowing how and when to use your piece is not nearly as important as knowing when NOT to use it. It took two people to escalate that situation into a gunfight. But then this is Monday morning...

0311, the price for two sp-1 AR-15s made it a BIG issue, AND you are very welcome. Nick

Without intent to "flame"anyone I feel the need to warn our members of any dealings with Jimmy Scott Bell, DBA ozarktactical@aol.com. He is extremely slow in delivering purchased merchandise.I mailed...
