Re: Is this another online gun seller that's really a scammer ?
I'm running into a lot of these sites - they all seem to use the same basic web site, with different logos and such, but they all want PayPal or Bitcoin or some other type of one-way payment situation - some of them use Zelle, which I've used myself a lot, BUT ONLY FOR PEOPLE I KNOW. There's another...

Re: Attempted to buy a Kimber Pro Carry ll on Gun Broker
" suspicious that the seller used a secondary account to push the bid higher ." - I've bought and sold a few guns on Gunbroker, and I wonder about that, too - the thing is, IF the seller is using a secondary account just to bid the price higher, if the secondary bidder actually wins the au...

Re: Bead Blasting in DFW
" it looks like there's pitting in addition to rust. Bead blasting will remove the rust but not the pitting " - I was never able to find anyone that did bead blasting locally, besides car repair shops that usually did sand blasting - don't do sand blasting on your gun. I like tinkering wit...

Re: How to move Gun safe
Regardless of which person(s) or which company you use to move the safe, my distrustful nature compels me to remind ya that each and every person that you get involved, even the companies that ya just get a quote from, become potential leaks in the safety net that protects your guns and other valuab...

Re: FS - AMT Hardballer Longslide (1911 .45 ACP)
I kept trying to post the firearm for sale (AMT Longslide) and rather than getting any kind of a "success" message, I kept getting what looked like an error message about a PHP error - BUT, the posts were successful- I deleted my duplicate posts.

Re: Remove bluing from gun
In case anyone is still interested . . . As someone else said, a soak in vinegar will remove the bluing. And while ya can't make a non-stainless gun into stainless, what I did works fine for me. After removing the bluing I bead-blasted the gun - then cleaned it completely with a Harbor Freight ultra...

Refinishing a S&W 686 No Dash
Looking for someone in North Texas (near Plano, Frisco, etc.) EXPERIENCED with refinishing S&W revolvers, to bead blast my S&W 686 no dash to a satin finish - I'd also be OK with refinishing the current (scratched) polished stainless to a brushed stainless finish. I don't have the space to g...

Re: CZ fans tell me what you think
I SO wanted to like Glocks for the past 20 years - I took the Glock Armorers course - I've had a number of different types of Glocks, and accumulated a large box of Glock spare parts - I took some 1:1 training from a retired LEO that won pistol competitions using Glocks - they are (relatively) so da...

Re: Shooting dog in self defense - Civil Immunity
I live in a residential area and I'm concerned about dog attacks when I'm off my property - when I'm out walking, and even more so when I'm riding my bike. I am always riding in areas where there are leash laws, and yet many animals are off leash and sometimes results in the owner frantically trying...
