  1. I got a Hi-point in 9mm. Decent little carbine. PAIN IN THE ASS to tear down and clean. and the trigger isn't the best in the world. ONLY BUY HI-POINT MAGAZINES! All others are junk. I changed the stock out for an ATI like the one above. And like it much better. All in all it was worth the $150 I paid for it, used.
  2. If I am breaking any rules concerning posting a link to other websites, I apologize before hand. Sorry! Leroy, a wonderful site dedicated to the Saiga is www.saiga-12.com . There is a TON of info there on conversions to the entire Saiga line of shotguns and rifles. I'd advise checking it out.I encourage you to go ahead and buy one and do the conversion. I just finished my conversion on a .223 and I love it! I want to get a shotgun next and convert it! The conversion is very easy to do. There are step by step videos on youtube that you can follow as well as other places. The youtube videos aren't the best but they give you a real good idea of what to do (If he'd only checked his camera view from time to time they would have been better). And I must say that I am not an experienced machinist. Actually I'm the exact opposite! But I muddled through and came out with a nice looking rifle. I probably had about 3 hours total in the conversion process. Hint: A dremel tool makes life much easier! I'd also like to give big +1 to Carolina Shooting Supply! First class operation! They also have some videos you can watch.

    Detective Special

    Great revolvers! I have a Colt Agent which is the same thing but with an alloy frame. Shoots like a dream, but unfortunately looks like hell. Lost a lot of the blueing. But I love it. It's my keeper.
  4. I have a Gen 2 Colt Agent and it is a terrific pistol! I wouldn't trade it for the world. Shoots great, but it ain't no prom queen either. Fantastic trigger!
  5. I'd probably carry my 1911a1.
  6. Now it's a Saiga AK in .223.

    AK Prices?

    For the price, I'd rather have the Saiga and convert it. It really isn't that hard to do.
  8. You will more than likely have to order the ammo off the net, unless you happen to stumble on some at a gun show.
  9. Built a Saiga. Great gun, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort to build a rifle for as cheap as AKs are now, already put together.
  10. I've never fired a Dan Wesson, but I have a friend of mine that has a SS .357 mag. He put a 6 in barrel on it and then he and another friend had a shoot off with the other guy's Colt Python. Each taking a turn with both pistols. The Dan Wesson which he bought at the time for $350 out shot the Python for both of them. Dan Wesson made a fantastic revolver! Sad to see that they are no longer made.
  11. I fall into the .38 spl category myself. I have a Colt Agent that I care when I feel like the situation might warrant it, which is rarely. It's light (16 oz), accurate and it holds 6 rounds that go bang every time. It also has a smooth as glass trigger. The reason I favor a .38 is I've never fired a .380acp (or 9mm short or what ever you want to call it) I liked, including a Sig P230 that I owed for a couple of year. It was possibly the most unpleasant pistol I've ever shot. It was accurate and reliable and horrible and I hated it. Outside of the Sig, I never found another .380 that I though was reliable enough to stake my life on.
  12. Colt may not make them anymore, but there are still Colts to be had. So hands down it's still a Colt straight out of the box.
  13. It might bring the cost down on the Saiga 12ga. They are higher than a cats back!
  14. Keep it! That's one of the all time classic shotguns! You'll regret it if you do.

    44 special

    The Bulldog is a pistol that's on my want list, with a 3 inch barrel. I prefer small revolvers to small automatics.
  16. Moped

    Decided on a 1911

    Great pistol! I've had one for about 3 years no and no problems what so ever. Mine's stainless.
  17. Sue was nice! The cats scared me!
  18. Hear Orgeron is telling the early enrollee's not to go to class tomorrow. This couldn't have come at a worse time. I hope California slides off into the ocean next week!
  19. Volquest is reporting that the Tennessee job has been offered to Muschamp at Texas.
  20. The ones I have on my Saiga are stamped with Made in USA or USA.
  21. I love that little one too! Need to get mine back out and shoot it too! Never enough time in the month to do all I want to do. I have a new to me Chinese Mosin Nagant M44 that need to make a man out of me too!
  22. Actually, I believe we are both wrong about the top one. I think it's a Colt 1851 Navy Sheriff. They are produced in .44 with a brass frame. Pistol is second from the bottom here. http://www.iar-arms.com/modelblkpwdrearly.htm The Cylinder is stepped near the middle on both pistols and it was bothering me. The 1849 isn't stepped like that. It's probably done for greater cylinder strength.
  23. You got a great deal for the $20! Those pistols are at the cheapest worth $150 a piece. Actually they are worth more than that. I'm just being conservative. Now that is assuming they are in good shape. These are replicas and the pietta is made in Italy. I suspect that the other one is also made in Italy as well. The one on top is a brass framed reproduction of a Colt 1849 Pocket Pistol. The one on the bottom one is a Colt 1860 .44. It was the primary sidearm of the Union Army during the Civil War. Go here and look them up. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Browse.aspx?Cat=2324

    Great Deal!

    I haven't got a clue about how many they had. I was shocked at the price. Would have bought one, but we spent a lot of money at Christmas and are saving for a vacation in March. If I were you all, I'd call before I went up there. There were a ton of people there and in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville Area in general. There might not be any left. While I was in there a fella bought one of those Remy ARs for about $300 cheaper than any where else he could buy it. That was his exact words. He was quite happy about it too!

    Great Deal!

    J. Floyd's in Sevierville had IO AK-47 with wooden stocks for $299.99 plus Taxs and TICS. Best deal I've seen!
