Last one today! Pictured is a 1988 C**t, MarkIV Series 80 Officers ACP chambered in .45ACP. Call Grimm Arms at 304-834-4556 for details. And a little history of course.

Introduced by C**t in 1983, the Mark IV Series 80 was a major evolution of the classic M1911. Its history is defined by the addition of a controversial trigger-actuated firing pin block safety, a new half-cock notch on the sear, and the removal of the problematic Series 70 collet barrel bushing. The defining feature of the Series 80 is its internal mechanical safety plunger. This block prevents the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is pulled, making it much safer to drop or carry fully loaded. C**t replaced the traditional hook-style half-cock with a modern shelf-style notch. On a Series 80, if the trigger is pulled while the hammer is at half-cock, the hammer will safely drop.

Shown is a Tula Arsenal SKS manufactured in 1952. A little to the rare side, only made a short while in the history of the Tula Arsenal. Available at Grimm Arms. Call 304-834-4556 for details. Now the history;

The Tula SKS—formally the SKS-45 (Simonov Self-loading Carbine)—is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine designed by Sergei Simonov. Manufactured at the legendary Tula Arms Plant from 1949 to 1958, it was quickly eclipsed by the AK-47 but remains a historic milestone in small arms evolution. Designed in 1943, the SKS was created to replace outdated bolt-action rifles and submachine guns. It was built around the intermediate 7.62x39mm M43 cartridge. It features a short-stroke gas piston, a 20-inch barrel, a permanently attached folding bayonet, and a fixed 10-round hinged magazine that is loaded using stripper clips. Tula served as the primary Soviet manufacturing hub, producing hundreds of thousands of these carbines before shifting fully to Kalashnikov rifles.

Pictured is a 1966 R.F.I. Enfield 2A1 chambered in 7.62 NATO. Available at Grimm Arms, call 304-834-4556 for availability and pricing. And now the history lesson;

The RFI (Rifle Factory Ishapore) 2A1 is a 7.62×51mm NATO bolt-action rifle adopted by the Indian Armed Forces in 1965 as a reserve weapon. It is the last military bolt-action of its type produced in the world, serving as a stopgap between the classic .303 Lee-Enfield and modern semi-automatic rifles. Following the Sino-Indian War of 1962, the Indian military needed to update their arsenal. While they transitioned their frontline troops to the modern 7.62mm L1A1 SLR (a variant of the FN FAL), manufacturing capacity could not supply the entire armed forces immediately. To fill this gap, the Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI) in India adapted the tried-and-true Lee-Enfield SMLE Mk III* design to handle the higher-pressure 7.62mm NATO round. The 2A1 is not a simple conversion of old .303 rifles; it was newly manufactured from the ground up.

Nice job!

🔧 Bringing an Old Warhorse Back to Life 🔧

Pictured here is a Yugo Ma**er that recently came through the FoxFire shop with a mission: transform a classic military rifle into a capable long-range shooter while keeping its historic character intact.

The customer supplied a set of scope mounts, rings, and a Zeiss optic, and let us tell you… these mounts were a chore to say the least! Unlike modern mounting systems, these required the receiver to be drilled and tapped at an angle, which meant HOURS of careful setup and precision measurement before a single chip was made.

Once we indicated our center from the receiver edge and precisely located both mounting positions, the drilling and tapping began. Every hole had to be straight, level, and perfectly positioned. No shortcuts. No guesswork.

With the mounts installed, the project still wasn’t finished. The forend had to be carefully modified to accommodate the new hardware and ensure everything fit together cleanly and correctly.

The result? A classic Yugo Ma**er that maintains its vintage look while gaining modern capability. This old warrior is ready to reach out and touch something once again.

Whether you’re looking to modernize a hunting rifle, mount optics to a classic firearm, restore a family heirloom, or tackle a custom project others won’t touch, FoxFire has the tools, experience, and attention to detail to get it done right.

The woodworking room project is moving forward. Brian from Foxfire Guns and Gunsmithing provided invaluable assistance, enabling us to install OSB on both sidewalls. The front end wall, wrapped in rigid insulation, is nearing readiness for OSB installation. After addressing minor floor issues and installing shelving, the front two-thirds of the room will be primed for equipment setup. The final third, however, requires additional effort. (Picture 3)

Another customer gun. Joint project between Grimm Arms and Foxfire Guns and Gunsmithing. Savage 24V Series D over/under chambered in the hard to find .223/20ga. Located the firearm and installed the barrel band and front sight, refinished the wood, and receiver. Tuner out pretty darned good!

The Savage Model 24V Series D is a specific variant of the iconic over-under rifle/shotgun combination gun. Produced in the 1970s and 1980s, the "V" series was uniquely designed for centerfire rifle calibers over 20-gauge shotguns. The Series D represents a refined, later-generation iteration of the trusted platform. As the platform gained popularity, Savage introduced the "V" line (including versions A, B, C, and D) to accommodate higher-powered centerfire rifle cartridges. While traditional models were mostly rimfire over .410, the 24V Series D specialized in centerfire calibers (such as .22 Hornet, .222 Rem, .223 Rem, .30-30 WCF, or .357 Magnum) paired almost exclusively with a 20-gauge shotgun barrel. The broader 24V line ran from 1966 through 1988. The Series D variant was manufactured through the mid-1970s and 1980s, eventually transitioning into the 24F model.

The development of the new woodworking room is moving forward nicely, and the finish line is in sight. Obtaining another air conditioning unit might make the workspace comfortable enough to work efficiently.
