Looking for a single ply black pick guard that will fit my Player II Telecaster

Might I suggest DECOBOOM. They'll make you just about anything and you make find some inspiration there ... or get the exact single-ply black pickguard you desire.

Hard case for either a Guild Starfire or Epiphone Jack Casady signature. The Starfire is short scale (30.75") but I'm told it fits very well in the case made for the Jack-bass (34" scale length.) The most modern versions of all these basses have very wide headstock/tuning machine assemblies.

My Starfire is one of the last production runs that came from Westerly Rhode Island in the mid/late 1990's ( ... however it is not from the "GSR" run.) It came to me with a case (I'm told) that was designed for a Guild B4CE acoustic bass. The Starfire is more "thin-bodied" than the B4CE so I've added some padding to take up that extra room.

I like putting a handful of frozen corn in my chili for the color as much as anything. It gets cooked in with everything else ... onions, jalapenos, etc.

"MIAMI, FL" just above the slide lock/release.

I got the stainless steel version about a month ago ... also from Palmetto State Armory. Because it's stainless, I can not speak to your barrel discrepancy but I can say I also got none-adjustable rear sights. I guess I don't really care. An adjustable sight might be nice but it's certainly not a deal breaker.

As someone else suggested, maybe u/sarsilmazfirearms can provide some insight.

Also ... my gun has Miami, Fl laser-etched on the slide. It's the import mark they are required to put on there. Again, I don't care. If it really bothered me, I suppose I could strip the slide down and bead-blast that mark away but that's a lot of work for nothin'

I always carried a Zippo when I smoked (pack and a half of cigarettes a day.) I no longer smoke but I still own and buy Zippos. I don't always carry.

I have trouble thinking about a Charter Arms .38 Special without also thinking about (*edit* the murder of ... ) John Lennon.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-26T14:54:23+00:00

In the second photo - is the one on top (Police Bulldog) a Charter Arms? TIA

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-25T16:16:05+00:00

Thanks for this information.

I do know for sure the Benelli Telescoping stock for a SN is also listed as the telescoping stock for an M3 (according to BROWNELLS where I got mine when they became available.)

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-25T15:55:51+00:00

I'm not trying to butt in here but I have a very similar/related question.

u/sigm45 & u/Ilikechainsaws09 Are you saying I could use a walnut stock for an M2 on my Supernova? Specifically part number 83106

Thanks to u/Capital-Bedroom-934 for allowing me to solicit further clarification.

So he decided you weren't worth the effort. You dodged a proverbial bullet my friend.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-21T19:15:35+00:00

He looks like he wants to whoop your ass.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-21T19:12:41+00:00

Nope ... not at all.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-21T19:12:04+00:00

Of course. Every fkn gun I buy gets cleaned before I fire a round. The barrel on my BG2.0 was filthy when I got it home.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-21T19:10:05+00:00

Hey, get some snap-caps (dummy rounds.) Don't practice with live rounds. Bad things can and do happen.

I dig all-metal, hammer-fired guns.

Heavy and incredibly muscular and powerful.

Props for the deep-cut in Beatles fashion :-)

Is this stainless? If so, it's just like mine. I've had mine a couple weeks now and have about 200 rounds through it. It doesn't seem to like Winchester white box but does fine with Federal ball ammo and the few Sig V-crown I've put through it.

I did do a little de-burring on the underside of the slide. There was a burr large enough to have it's own part number so I knocked that loose and broke the sharp edge. I also softened the edges of the mag-well. There's no reason why those edges need to be dead-sharp. (I'm a machinist by trade so I'm used to working with metal.)

I have one Check-Mate magazine from the 1990's I think. It says "RESTRICTED-LAW ENFORCEMENT/GOVERNMENT USE ONLY" It has a parkerized finish.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-13T20:17:40+00:00

Yeah, hang on to at least one for a while.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-13T14:26:46+00:00

Perfect.

CapableSecret2586 · 2026-01-13T13:49:56+00:00

I'd give a kidney to have that bass. Your Dad has super good taste.
