Yeah, I saw that too. Hard to find any firsthand accounts of anyone actually using the 30-06. I guess it's fine as long as it doesn't blow my gun up.

Is it safe? They had some in Sarco, so I picked up 2 small bags. I just don't know if it's safe for my gun, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

Wasn't the 7.35 Carcano round only made for the Carcano rifle? I don't think there was ever another gun chambered for this round. It was manufactured commercially by Hornady. They only made them in that caliber for a short time before they switched back to the 6.5mm round they were using before.

Dave, that gun is UGLY! I'll tell you what, why don't you take my brand new Colt, and I'll take that beat up old thing off your hands.

I was going to buy a Remington R1 (paid for it and all), but while I was looking at it a second time, I noticed a scratch on the slide near the dust cover. I talked the guy into letting me break it down, and there was a mess inside. The frame had a huge excess chunk of metal on the inside of the dust cover left over from the casting, which they chose not to smooth out (and it was scratching the slide). Additionally, the fit was good (bushing was tight, barrel lockup was tight), but the finish was lacking (internally). The inside had a bunch of tool marks, and seemed plain sloppy in areas. If you check 1911forum.com they have a whole thread on this gun with detailed pics and they get technical with it. The reviews I have seen have been mostly positive, so I'm not saying it's a bad gun. I'm trying to share my experience, and give you the knowledge that will make you happier with your choice.

No problem, I hope they still have it! Every time I saw it, I thought it was a 226 (minus the rail) and I got excited. All the Sigs look very similar to me from a distance.

9x18 Makarov for the Makarov Pistol, and the 7.62x38 in the Nagant Revolver. I've been looking into Russian guns lately. lol

The Bullet Hole had one. Not too sure if they still have it.

I'm sure there will be some cool stuff getting turned in...

How do we do this?

He didn't give an address, or phone number for this place? lol, Just kidding. Seriously though, is Piers Morgan undercover now? Sounds like one of his fantasies. I was writing a whole rant here, but I'm just going to leave it at "this story irritates me." Don't forget though, that if they make it illegal to assemble a kit gun, criminals will have to stop. Think about the greater good.

I wish I lived there. Even if it was just a hut somewhere in that vast beauty. lol

Well I really do appreciate you sharing your acquisitions with the forum, but some of the photos just don't do the firearm justice. Haha, I had to be honest here. Really nice find though Dave. Maybe you can loan me that time machine you use to go back and find these.

Sweet looking gun, amazing condition. You need a better camera!

Even if the gun has serious issues, they should be able to salvage the part with the serial number, at least for a pistol, and most rifles. In the event that they did send you a new gun, it would go to an FFL and you would have to go through NICS again.

I don't like this idea at all. It is one more point of failure, plain and simple. Just how a semi-auto is more prone to some sort of failure than a revolver, this adds a layer of complication to the process. Also, I don't want to get killed because I forgot to charge it, change a battery, or was not wearing a proximity ID or some such nonsense. Plus, just like every other electronic safeguard, someone will find a workaround. If this technology becomes standard (more like a when than if), I'm going old school. I'm getting a sword! haha I don't know how developed the tech. is either, I doubt it is anything we'd see in the next 5 years or so.

I second Colt. I would not trade my Series 70 Repro. for a Wilson Combat. It has not had one issue, and it looks sweet.

Sweet looking Garand, I just picked up my first one as well. I have wanted one for years, and I finally got around to actually getting one. What year does it date to if you don't mind me asking?

I love my Glock, it was my first and I couldn't live without it. That being said, I shot an XD in .40, and it was a fine pistol. The real question here is which trigger and grip do you prefer? Those were the most noticeable differences.

Yeah, that's what I don't like about gunbroker. I have to overpay for the item, and then I have to pay whatever "shipping cost" the seller sets. If I'm going to overpay, I would rather do it on an item I can check out in person, and take home with me immediately (or at least after a 20 day NICS).

Just rub it in my face why don't you. Lol

That's a nice one ogfarmer, congrats! Good looking rifles on the first site, but I can get a Russian one for a solid $200, and the second link (unfortunately) does not have any M44s. I'm going to PA for a test in two weeks, I guess I'll check the shops out there. I really don't like gunbroker, so I'll only jump on something there if I can get a really good deal. Thanks for the links though, I'll be sure to check them for updated stock.

I know there are several makes, but for some reason, a certain part of me wants a Polish M44. Is there any place that has them in Jersey? Or should I stick to gunbroker? From what I read, they are some of the better made 44s. Anyone have love for these?

What about Garands/30-06/.45 and instead of wife, girlfriend, and possibly a line about maxed out credit cards.
