Writing this in 2023,  there are many new printers newcomers can choose to start off with. I still think that the Ender 3 is one of the cheapest and effective ways to introduce a someone into the 3D printing hobby, namely because of the care ...

Thought process and approach on remixing a model without STEP or source files

(Author's Note: I'll be honest, I had a whole thing written up on Twitter about my thought process and steps I took to remix and redraw this model until the page decided to crash and nuke the thread I was writing. Perhaps that should teach me ...

New Printable Coming Soon: Remington 597

"What's Vinh been up to as of late?"

I've been busy with work and finally got back on my favorite self-care treatment: making guns!

I have been putting this kit off for a long time. I purchased it a few years ago, but never got aroun...

Discontinuing weekly digests (for now)

Hi folks,

I have some unfortunate news about weekly digests. As life has kicked up and gotten busy, I'm unable to continue collecting and publishing a weekly digest (which was a nice little treat for us all).

10/20/2022 - GunBroker.com Listings

A fairly simple and ordinary week this time around.

Beretta

10/15/2022 - GunBroker.com Listings

This week, there are TWO Hi-Powers and TWO U22's, along with TWO AR-7's.

On top of that- there's a 950 BS in .22 Short. This is a very uncommon kit.

Browning

10/2/2022 - GunBroker.com Listings

This week of interest, you have an FN509 that has emerged, along with FOUR Hi-Power kits.

With the FN509/FNS-C update just released to the Gatalog this past weekend, you should be able to build one of those kits now.

Beretta

9/26/2022 - GunBroker.com Listings

This week, it's a very ordinary week. Glock parts are still in abundance, as are Sigma kits.

Beretta

9/18/2022 - GunBroker.com Listings

Exciting week. I feel like there's a lot less this time around, but there are a few items of interest.

A Henry H001 kit has emerged, as did an FNS-9 and and FNS-40. I'd scoop those if you want a chance to own one.

Another exciting week! There's a boat load of 42 and 43 kits, with THREE Hi-Powers.

Beretta

9/4/2022 - GunBroker Listings

This is an exciting week. There are few practice and training parts that have cropped up. These are simply curious items to have and collect.

Some SAR/EAA kits have appeared too. Also note a long-slide S&W M&P 9! You don't see those ...

Hey guys!

I just announced that I have left the Gatalog on Twitter to focus more on my family and career.

Can you believe it's August already? Where has this year gone, I wonder.

You will have a good shot at 10/22's or Marlin 60's this week. Of special note too is an FN 509 if you want to join the (still ongoing) beta for it. A Kimel AP9 has eme...

You won't see a whole lot this week. Fairly ordinary minus the odd number of AR-7 kits.

Beretta

7/18/2022 - GunBroker Listings

Got some really neat parts kits this week. Of interest is TWO FN 509 kits, and some M&P 9 Shield PC kits too. Note the long-slide M&P 9 M2.0 in FDE, as well.

7/10/2022 - GunBroker Listings

This week is interesting.  A good amount of 950 BS kits have appeared, with one in .22 Short. In addition, an FNS-40 and FNS-9C kit has emerged also- the latter you can use to join my 509/C beta. Note also too, a long barrel S&W M&P 9...

Of note this week is the Henry section of part kits. There are AR-7 kits, which I have a frame for, but also the strange quantity of the lever action H001 kits.
