Wow. Just spent a bunch of time messing around in Ebay, spending money that I promised My Better Half I would not, since I have a Model 1911 project ongoing with the gunsmith ($$$).


The good news: I was outbid for a Remington 870 barrel. Hooray! There's plenty more where that came from, to be found on the Internet.


But wait: maybe you didn't hear that Ebay's "Trust and Safety Team" (ain't that the Misnomer of the Year?) has decided to no longer sell firearm parts and accessories.


Why? Because of their hoplophobia. Hoplophobia has been defined by the late gun writer Jeff Cooper as "[from the Greek hoplon, or weapon] ... a mental disturbance characterized by irrational aversion to weapons, as opposed to justified apprehension about those who may wield them, " in his book, To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth).So, I suggest that you throw your money instead at http://www.auctionarms.com/, or http://www.gunbroker.com/, or http://www.summitgunbroker.com/, or other online vendors.Anyway, if you'd like to see what I am selling on Ebay, check out my Ebay To Go "widget":



I also enjoy selling merchandise at http:amazon.com Please peruse my auctions there too (helpful hint on how to find my auctions to follow).

Take care. Don't spend too much time on the Internet. It's no substitute for real life!
