Been there, got the T-shirt!
We never let the customer set the price without our input, and if we cannot agree we politely ask them to take their stuff elsewhere.
Our contract/receipt makes it...

We work with the seller to get his desired price if within reason. Usually we ask to build in a lower acceptable price, typically 25 to 50 bucks less. Or we may start a bit higher to begin with,...

Yes, that is typically the case. We have to run a NICS check to return the firearm, there has to be paperwork to justify its disposition. Our shop charges $15 to do so, but in the case of a customer...

Trades seldom generate a much higher offer than what the dealer would offer to simply buy it. A bit more perhaps, in the case of a very valuable or desirable firearm the dealer may offer up to 75%...

A quick google search shows that address as a business complex with a total square footage of 14,775 sq feet, a far cry from what they claim. That address is also currently used by a plastering...

You looked pretty bad when you came into the shop yesterday, but obviously not as bad as if those glasses failed. I am very glad you weren’t hurt worse, and impressed that you felt you should share...

I work in a gunshop that does consignment sales. We charge 10%, which is pretty low. Most places charge more, as much as 25%.
That is still better than simply selling it to a dealer. On average...

Thank you. I used an RCBS as my first “real” press for a few years, then somehow convinced myself that a Pacific/Hornady 07 was a better route. Sold the RCBS and soon realized that that while I...

It is stamped 31P, so I am a happy camper! Thanks to all.

Lee Loader in 12ga, 1972, my junior year of high school. It drove my mom crazy what with all the pounding, lol!
I don’t have it anymore, but I was gifted a Redding powder scale at the same time...

Yes, that’s the plan. I wasn’t intending to load up any .32 Magnum in the near future, but I can and that would easily answer the question.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Do you suppose that it will work for .32 S&W Long or .32 H&R Magnum? Slightly different bullet diameters, but only by very little.
I lucked into a complete Lyman .30 Luger die set and was...

It sounds like the grips may be part of the problem as some have suggested, but I will readily admit to having off days at the range, and not just accuracy wise.
There are days when it is simply...

I have owned three or four Colts, built about a half dozen Caspian parts guns (one by a reputable "name" 'smith in the early '90s, the rest with the help of a friend who is a superb 'smith), and have...

My first was a Nylon 66 and boy do I wish I still owned it...sigh.
However! I do own quite a few .22 rifles, and my favorite autoloaders are the Browning bottom eject design and the Remington...
In town? Glock G32 .357 SIG although it sometimes wears a Lone Wolf .40 S&W barrel. There is also a 1911 in the truck most times.
In the woods? Just fooling around it is a Ruger Sheriff's Model...

BINGO! We have a winner!
Thank you sir, I will contact him soon. Should have thought of him to begin with, it has been a long time since I last spoke to him.
I am glad to see someone else having good luck with a Filipino 1911. I recently picked up an ATI FX-45, which translates to a S.A.M. built Commader imported by American Tactical. Different builder...

This idea came up many years ago, before I was ever online, or even before ALGORE invented the internet. Back then I seem to recall that there were some .47 or .48 (?) caliber barrels around that...

You can pick up 6x45 barrels nowadays. There are a few fellows making them. I bought mine about 6 or so months ago. Let me check for the outfit in Texas that is making them.
BTW, the owner of the...

6x45, nothing to mess with except for the barrel. Everything else interchanges insofar as parts are concerned, no modified or special magazines. Heck, you can even use .223 brass.
