Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
Less so. Still jelly
GarandMarine:
Just found a S&W M19-3 (1967 Production, and the earlier with Smiths, the better they are for the most part). It's finish is completely and utterly fucked. In every sense of the word. However it seems mechanically sound, so I'm thinking I might buy it as a project handgun. A little polishing and rebluing and it should be fine.

Mauser update. Heresy or hot?

I'm sorry to have to back date to quote this, BUT that is one seriously tasty update to a classic weapon.
I was granted the opportunity, by my father, to fire a Mauser 9mm 'way back in the early 70'S and found it really strange at first.
Then once I got used to the additional height of the frame I found it was a remarkably accurate weapon at 50 Yards range.
GarandMarine:
I want the update. I also desperately want a Chinese Type 17. I blame Akima for this.
Noxx:
I have no qualms about hacking on a broomhandle because it was a piece of crap to start with, you can only make it better.
Regarding the old Smith, consider sending it back to smith for refinishing. Their prices are reasonable, and nobody can ever put a blue finish on a revolver like they can.
