message: I'd love some help cleaning up Taurus (manufacturer), if we could put that on the to-do list. Thanks! --SXT40 12:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm certainly no expert on 1911s and don't even own any Kimbers, but I've taken the liberty to add some information to the article. At this point, it's a not much more than a really rough draft (most of the stuff is from memory, lacks references and requires lots of clean-up) but I'll try to get to that and expand it in the near future. Hope that's okay. Cheers, --Seed 2.0 14:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  To-Do... 

message: I would like to propose a new policy for the WikiProject Firearms. I would like to propose that rather than having separate articles for target versions or accurized models of a gun or anything of that nature; that we should instead create a new section in the same article, covering the variant. Now one thing I should state is that this would not be limited to so-called 'Target' versions, but also 'Expert' or any other variants that simply constitute the same gun with some measures taken to accurize it or improve other parts of the gun. 
What does everyone think?--LWF 23:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed policy on merging target versions of guns 

message: I was looking at my watchlist today and I made the observation that some guns manufactured by Heckler & Koch are labeled as HK, H&K and Heckler & Koch in Wikipedia. I am proposing that we standardize this to the full, proper name Heckler & Koch. Does everyone agree?--LWF 20:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Granted I'm a month late, but FWIW, I did this to the Smith & Wesson articles.  Seemed to work well.  So I agree.  Standardization is a good idea.  —Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 01:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving and merging [[Heckler & Koch]] Firearms 

message: Virginia Tech's ban on guns may draw legal fire, April 13, 2005.  Assuming the policy is still in effect, what does this do to the University's accountabilty in today's shooting?  They created a "gun free zone", and when was the last time you heard of a mass shooting at, say, a gun show?  scot 17:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Interesting legal situation...

message: Hello all, I've added infoboxes to the following articles:
*.45 GAP
*7.62x38R
*7.65 mm Luger Parabellum 
*9 x 18 mm PM
Some need minor expansion, but 7.62x38R is in particular need of fact checking, etc. Thank you! C0N6R355 14:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
