- June 16, 2016, 07:55:20 AMI got the sight on eBay. If you know what dovetail you need, the sights are available directly from the manufacturer of that sight. Example: I wrote to Novak and got a price quote on a direct replacement. Depends on the dovetail cut....

- June 16, 2016, 00:11:50 AMI hear ya. Where did you get the adjustable battle sights for your 1911? I've been looking for a good rear sight, not much to be found up here.

- June 15, 2016, 18:12:25 PM50', 80 gr. Hornady .375 roundball, 15 gr. Pyrodex P, and CCI #10 caps...This is a 5" barrel model, so I figured that 50' was getting near the max for target accuracy. My 1860 Armys, with the 8" barrel and 138 gr .451s are good to about 50 yards, and my Remington is still good at 75 yards. The limiting factor with these guns, besides having no real sights, is my eyesight...

- June 13, 2016, 16:48:44 PMGot another little gem last week. Had a chance, finally, to fire it. It's a 5" .36 cal. brass framed Colt Navy repro made by a company that is out of business. It's 38 years old, and had never been fired, until today... Here's a link to it's debut, and a target I shot with it, today. Either I'm getting better or it is

- June 02, 2016, 11:15:27 AMGetting a permit to carry up here is all but impossible. Very few people ever qualify. To add to the insanity of our country's firearms laws, if someone breaks in to your house and steals a gun, you the homeowner will be charged with improper storage of a firearm. If it is used in the commision of a crime, look out. So many of our laws, U.S. too, I expect, are geared more to protecting the rights of those accused of committing a crime than protecting the rights of the victim. Our lawmakers need to be o the receiving end of their own laws; maybe the would change their views somewhat. But I doubt it.....

- June 02, 2016, 08:18:03 AM49, that sounds pretty terrible. I'm lucky in that I live in a very gun-friendly state (Kansas) so we don't have to deal with all that. Unless we want to get a concealed carry license. Then that sounds about right. Which complaining about how long that took, and the hoops you have to jump through doesn't seem like as big of a deal now knowing what you guys have to go through to get any firearm.
