Sale on T-shirts


The pricing isn't my idea. It's something the guys who own the shirt shop came up with. Anyway, from now through the 16th of January, you can get 20.09% off any order of at least $20. I haven't seen another sale since I started, so if you were waiting, I'd ">order right now instead of waiting any longer. It might be next new year's before there's another sale.





Incidentally, if any overseas users want to buy a shirt, and have failed, I am sorry. This one has the most foreign service options, but it's still not many. If you really, really want one, email me and I'll arrange it (like, you pay me slightly extra for the shipping and I'll get it and send it to you myself).




I also can add other stuff. So if someone promises they want a hat or whatever, tell me and I'll get that added to the store.

A note on restoring documents


I get a lot of requests for manuals around here. There are many offered already, but a lot of guns do not have them yet. I always ask readers, like you, to scan and send me your manual if you have one I don't already have posted, or your manual is different.

But no matter what, for many of these guns the manuals are hard to find, or in terrible shape. Most people do not care about the manual, and actually throw them away. At best, they are stored in poor condition, stuck in attics and basements.

Here is one for an HK just sent to me. This is atypically bad, but not unprecedented:


And here is what I post for you when I am done cleaning it up.


I have done this sort of thing for a living, so its not that hard, but neither is it that easy. So, aside from the cash outlay to run the site, this is the sort of thing I spend time doing. Enjoy, but please buy something or donate if you can.

M30 top ends!


Looking at Sarco for other update reasons, I notice they have slides and many other top-end parts for M30s. So, if you've been wanting to do a gunsmith project on one of yours, check them out.

I'd call if you want more details. Sarco is often a bit confused (they really do just loose things in the back of the warehouse for years) and do best with phone calls, though I hear they are getting more onto email as well.
