I think I am finally saving up money so I can have my dream collector gun. An M1 Garand

I got a Winchester 1300 Defender to replace the one I traded for that broke-dick Redhawk (that Ruger broke MORE then refused to fix, by the way) to help out a family friend. Good thing is, it's in very good shape; bad thing is, I'm a bit tall for basically everything that doesn't have a pistol grip so I'm going to have to figure something out

Just ordered some Pachmayr Signature grips for my 39-2, considering getting more mags; loving this gun so far, is better in every way than I expected. Wondering if it'd also be worth it to track down a set of new sights for it, some that aren't plain black, because I can't pick them up quickly
EDIT: never mind, no one makes replacement rear sights for the 39 series Last edited by S&Wshooter; 06-01-2016 at 05:20 AM.

I have gotten a mountain of stuff since I last posted and I have some other doodads in the pipeline, but I wanted to share one purchase I'm particularly happy to have obtained, a 1991 Beretta 92FS.
  The pictures make the marks on the finish look worse than they are. It's in fantastic overall shape for being as old as me. It came with the original box, original cleaning brush, and an original alloy base 15 round magazine. No warning labels, straight dust cover, made in Italy. I've found that Bruniton Italian preban 92FS's have also become particularly rare, even more rare than Inox models. Aside from an American F (the Beretta used in Die Hard and Lethal Weapon which secured the gun's status in popular culture), this is the quintessential Beretta 92, as it is the pinnacle of the gun's development, and cleaner and cooler than post ban and current production models with cost cutting design compromises and excessive markings. For me in particular, this gun is also a reclaimed birthright. My dad was in the Army in the 1980's, and from what my family has told me, he purchased a Beretta 92 of some sort when he was discharged. At some point, though, he pawned the gun off and I have no idea where it is now. If he still had it, it'd be in my collection by now I'm sure, but it's lost forever. So, being an ideal model, and being a gun manufactured in my birth year of 1991, this 92FS will serve as an appropriate surrogate. I'm never selling this one.

Just put on the Pachmayrs, they add a ton of thickness to the 39's grip and the backstap cover doesn't fit. Having huge hands, I think they're perfectly fine, but the grip is seriously about the same as my 4506 now
