Different cases for different days. I like covert cases for a number of reasons. I have to admit I just spent $400 for a vintage hardcase for my guitar, though. :)

Mount a wooden surplus stock on it and find out how nice it is to shoot. Folders are fun to look at and play with but if you spent some time shooting they are worthless. Try it out.

It is clear that the pin hole is not a straight hole. That alone makes me wonder about the rest of it. Might be a one off bad part. I would let them repair it and go from there. Good luck.

My carry gun is a Colt Officers Model in .45ACP. Because it is 500 for 500 I carry it.

I would clean up that bolt face (smooth it if it isn't just grime) and pay special attention to where the round is getting damaged. That 'slice' has nothing to do with the bolt face You have a few fixes that might be all it takes. I am confident you will have it running again.

Excellent point Often we are our own worse enemies. Good thing no one else can read what we write here in private.

Accessories marketed separately will bring in more money. I am amazed to see people buying the fake short barrel, factory slings, i guess it's called ephemra but usually all I want to purchase is the gun and mag to start. -watchin-

Any idea why someone would prefer a Vector to a C & S? -watchin-

There are some really nice thin leather shooting gloves in the trap and skeet deparment. I have several firearms with sharp edges, heavy recoil and they used to hurt me to shoot them. Now they just momentarily blind me with a fireball when I shoot them. -watchin-

I am with you on the tuna sandwich. I am a lifetime gun collector and no one shoots the real collector guns. Even the rich kids. If they are rare enough to be collector items they are too rare to shoot (even for guys who only wear their undies once). -watchin-

All guns fear a 'Dremel' attack. -watchin-

Since you have two you should be able to swap the selector switch for a test. That will for sure eliminate that part. Just take extra care to keep the parts from the 'bad boy' separate from the OK parts. If you are diligent you will find the culprit and feel good about yourself. That's...

If you have any really nice Colt SAA in your collection you should start with them. No paperwork and the cool factor is exponential when you compare a 7-1/2" to a 4-3/4" barrel. :) -watchin- BTW, our survey here said UZIs were not a serious go to gun but a cute range toy. How much do you want...

Two major ways to learn how to hate MACs: Try shooting HPs and reloading ammo for them. Some guys will tell you their MACs only shoot reloaded Hollow Points, and that's fine. I have heard those same two complaints for years and years. Try a box of brand new 124gr factory ammo and that should...

That is some serious stuff!! Having unexpected discharges is kind of a calling card from the Grim Reaper. No laughing matter or anything anyone who is a repsonsible gunowner should tolerate. I have a MAC-10 in 9mm, and while I truly enjoy it, if it took an unexpected shot at me I know it would...

Neither are 'Machine Guns", "Switchblade Knives", "Cop Killer Bullets", "under the RADAR plastic assault pistols". These are all NOT OK in the United States. BTW, where did you hear that open bolt semi auto function firearms are not OK in the US? Once upon a time they were very common. Lots of...

Cool direction. Hans Solo's blaster started out life as a Mauser Broomhandle. The blaster he used in Blade Runner was a cast resin concept gun. Wild, Wild, West always had cool concept weapons. Personally, I would always start with wood and blued steel. Lyman flip up sites are always admired...

If you are SBRing a Semi Auto Full Size UZI for the 'cool factor' of a more original SMG look then you might want to read some of the really good posts here. My opinion, any UZI is cool as it comes from the manufacturer. We then step up in levels of 'coolness'. I guess the ultimate is an IDF...

Once I shot an UZI with a wood stock the 'cool factor' of the steel folding stock disappeared. It was like a totally different carbine. IMHO folding steel UZI stocks suck big time. Bro, get the wood! Why would you go back to pain in the cheek, shoulder and face? Enjoy the ride with a surplus...
