PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Problem

Hi

My name is Bob and I have a cardboard box problem.

Plastic boxes I can live with or live without. Cardboard boxes are hard to pass up.

White cardboard boxes, blue cardboard boxes, tan cardboard boxes, all are though to pass up. In combination they create a problem.

Is there a cure?

Bob

Bob I hate to say this as I look at the same boxes you are talking about.
NO, there is no cure!!!!
Espicially for those pretty blue card board ones with the nice white sleeves

Hi

Each time I bring home these boxes I seem to get strange looks from the rest of the family. They do not understand the need for more cardboard boxes or appreciate the fact that the boxes have Pony's on them.

Hi

This particular box spent about 4 hours "in the wild" before I happened by it on pass through Cabela's earlier today. Very tough to explain how you headed out for some scope rings and came back with a Pony.

Hi

Well the outer box is white:



The next box in is blue, with a nice Pony on it:



Inside is another box:



And inside that is another Pony:



How can you be without two WWI repos??? Man are these nicely fit pistols.

I just hope this time OD won't come along and tell me I got the wrong grips again !!!

Bob
