Ha.. It wasn't, but it was someone who has been banned here under even more alternate usernames than he. I knew it on approval, but I let him through intentionally to.. lets just say gather more data.
I've known a number of professional gunsmiths over the years. Some taught me things, let me watch them work, so and so forth. A couple of them worked for the big box chain stores, so they did far less of any custom work or anything like that then they did mainly basic repairs and parts...
Now that I've inspected it more closely, I'm somewhat convinced there is at least partially digital editing, I have expertise in this because it's what I do.. and I would have done a much better job. I can't be certain because it's obviously significantly degraded from an original photo so...
"Included in the post was a selfie of Sathanandan, showing blood pouring down the right side of her face."

I'm going to close this up. This has been resolved and it's kind of going all over the place now.
There is some additional explanation I'd say about having pulled the last couple of posts, but I've been without power for almost 13 hours now, and low on phone battery, so it'll have to wait.
Whether it has anything to do with this depends on what you mean by "doesn't display correctly". If you're not being properly directed to to the forum then clear your browser cache and that will fix it. Sometimes (particulalrly with a DNS issue) the request pointing to the wrong place can get...
He left out the part about the elephants (you really DON'T want to know), but basically that's what happened.
Seriously though, sorry folks about the disruption, but nothing to worry about. Wasn't even a major problem, just a very small and simple technical issue that needed to be resolved.

Just for clarity , are you asking for information on someone to do the repair, or ideas on how to do the repair , or the unmolested bullseye part.. or any/all of the above ?
Numrich used factory original bullseye for 336. They only have used ones in stock, but that should be fine I imagine as...
This one is kind of the reason I brought back the contest corner; just because it's an extremely sweet .22 (and a $4k package) and it would be nice for somebody here to win.

Contest corner back for a limited time.. just for the heck of it.
Reminder: Contest corner posts are in no way sponsored or paid ads.. or whatever. They're just because I feel like doing it.

What I find rather strange is that of that 10 rounds, there appears to be at least 4 different kinds of ammo. What's up with that ?
Also, they were using an extended Pro-Mag magazine, so there's very little chance any of it would have fed anyway.
No. It's a double stack 1911. A 2011 has a gripless/guardless receiver w/ modular grip frames, which is what makes it a 2011.
Double stack 1911 receiver

Yep, 18+1
In any case, it's nice looking and a pretty nice capacity (in a more free state), but I wouldn't personally ever buy an aluminum framed 1911 again. I own one, a full sized .45 Springfield Loaded Lightweight . The aluminum frame has had a couple of different issues. Maybe mine was a...
They're still there on all the methods I have of accessing the site.
Other than what @kev74 mentioned (which is determined by how wide your screen is - if things are compressed into those pull down menus with the three dots), the only other thing that immediately comes to mind is that if you've...
As the title mostly says already, yesterday I was asked a firearm ownership question/issue that I'd never heard/seen come up and I had no good answer for it (a quite rare thing indeed).
A person I know has a NYS (upstate county issued, not NYC) pistol permit. I didn't put this specifically in...
I'm not sure if I've ever held one, but that would probably be a benefit for me personally. I still don't particularly want one though; for all the reasons mentioned already.
Only 5.7 I've fired was from a PS90 (16" barrel, semi-auto civi version, not mine). For expensive as it is, I didn't...
@VietnamEraVet , much as I may be a fan of Pastafarianism.. this better be real.
With as few perm bans as there are on this forum, several of them (hard to say how many because those people started numerous aliases) are from people who made up and posted hoaxes about having their guns taken...
While I do have at least something of a reputation as of one of the resident revolver guys, that's really an S&W (Since S&W trigger work is kinda my specialty thing), some Colt, and maybe a tiny 'lil bit of Ruger thing. I've never even handled one of the Kimber wheelguns, so I can't say much of...
@mrmbenson
I know you're brand new on the forum, and so I don't mean to rag on you here, but this requires a bit more specificity (and being in the proper forum section)
Simply saying "NYS licence" is pretty unclear, as that could mean many things. Hell, even with the assumption that it's a...
Yeah , this guy was banned out and reported to anti-scam/services around 11am 'ish due to reports.
We've had a sticky thread going for a few years now on this exact scam method.

I could be wrong of course, but this one feels to me like probably just a big over-reaction and an article title meant to get one.

I'm assuming you mean the optic setup. Pretty sure its a joke, but he's weirdly made a high rise red dot cowtitness with larue C-Note QCB irons (which is odd to begin with IMHO).
I didn't know it was .308 day, but now that I do you might notice that I've made some representation for the rest of the day via the site logos. Admittedly pretty quick and dirty and kinda ugly.. but whatever.
I'm really not sure how to answer this as I can't replicate it. It is true that quoting is entirely based on cookies, so oftentimes clearing site cookies may fix issues with it. Depending on the device/browser, what you may have to clear to include cookies may vary. An important factor (as...
Jeez, that's.. hmm. The fact that the guide thingimies (if there's a name for that I don't know it) are intact and seemingly unbent, but the rear appears to be blown outward, would lead me to believe that somehow the retaining wall slipped past the guide rod and then got slammed by it. I'm not...

It's not extremely uncommon that representatives of these fake/scam firearm sites try to join up here to advertise. They don't make it past me, so you never see 'em.
One pretty common tell I've noticed is scam sites often accept things like Zelle and Cryptocurrencies as payment options...
Can't seem to recreate this on the browsers I have. I'm assuming that's Brave from the pictures. Was this also what you were using when it happened @RooftopKorean ?
It's really quite simple. The features you are mentioning are irrelevant now. Prior to SAFE there were AR style pistols around that were very stripped down, with those features being relevant, because one 'feature' was allowed essentially. After SAFE , no features allowed. As one banned...
My friend/brother's (found brother, not bio brother, one of my closest freinds for over 30 years) dad died on his birthday (the friend's birthday not the dad's) and few days before Christmas. So there was that. Wake and stuff. That was the most people I've been in close proximity with since...
The one I miss is Service Merchandise... and the system they used (a modern version of it anyway) would seriously reduce crime now probably.

You could show her that.. but it might just piss her off more.
Hell no.
Sure, it's rare, but beyond that it's a middling quality 1911 that's only going to be particularly special to a very limited number of people. Rarity alone does not necessarily make something valuable; it requires also desirability. I've got a painting in my living room, it's not only...
