    Don't buy a Cooper

    The worst thing about the mess is Cooper posted a denial on his webpage- explaining he'd given a couple thousand to Obama during the primary to defeat Clinton. He said he does not support Obama and has given McCain more money. Well, some people looked into that- and because of transparency...

    SKS vs AK47

    The bottom rung SKS originally for 79 bucks had a stamped soft metal trigger group and a pinned barrel. It was still a good shooter. Otherwise, Chinese are fine. Norinco is fine. Norinco made to higher standards is Polytech, which is great. Attempts to improve mag cap in the SKS are...

    Finding Bullets for Marlin 38/55 .380 diameter barrels

    Marlin did its run of 38/55's at .380 groove diameter for a majority of the rifles. As cast boolits must be .0005 to .001 over groove diameter for best accuracy and little leading, this is a problem, because there aren't many companies offering those boolits. I've found Rimrock, though they're...

    .327 Magnum, the next big thing?

    The 41 had a very small slice of the pie to carve. What exactly, is there for a double action revolver between the .22 and the 38? There's a .312 that never really caught on in the larger world outside the shooting club, and not all through the club, either. Are those of us who shoot...

    .327 Magnum, the next big thing?

    I say yes to the lever gun. A little semi auto carbine too. >>>>>>>>>>> I wonder how Federal and Ruger did their marketing research for this round? The resistance amongst the shooting community is strong. ( I haven't seen this much resentment or dismissal out of hand since the 41 mag...

    Do Modern Semi Autos Need a Function Break-in?

    Do modern semi auto handguns still need a function break in? I had a discussion about this with a couple gunny friends of mine. They both asserted today a semi auto handgun does not need a break-in, and would be concerned if a new gun from a modern manufacturer had a hiccup with function. They...

    Follow-up On Midway Advertised Prices

    You may recall the thread about Midway's flier, the 'regular bullet prices' listed inside which were not the actual prices at time of sale- even though the flier had just arrived. Some prices had risen 30% or so. It was a shock and I couldn't understand why my go-to place for reloading was...

    .454 casull or .480 ruger

    I didn't know that. There's too many factors- the 41 with a factory 210 load was more powerful than a 44 with factory 240 gr loads in a short barrel. Metcalf tested this one year. I think the Casul has so much powder and pressure that you're right- it takes a longer tube to utilize. I...

    Why is that, 22rimfire? munk

    .454 casull or .480 ruger

    I think Fumbler has it right. I'd go 480 because it's easier to shoot for me and the second shot will come faster than with the 454 munk

    Good Caliber to Plink With?

    223 or soviet short both good. Lots of carbines around that shoot handgun cartridges. They're fun- like the 357 or 44 munk

    41 Magnum Opinions?

    is there a 295 gr 41 cal bullet zipping along at 1300 fps? Sounds great to me. No, a game animal will not know the difference between that and a .429 300 gr at 1290 fps. The 41 penetrates better, many say it shoots a little flatter with better BC, and it handles much better than...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    Is it reasonable to expect the prices in a ad to match the actual prices the company will charge? It's fine to say the company is legal because they published a disclaimer, then the question becomes how many lies are they allowed before my business is given to another company? What happens if...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    "I think the issue munk is driving at, and rightfully so, is that Midway is advertising -in print- a product that is known to be susceptible to drastic price increases. Strat81" Let there be Light. Yes. And everytime it happens Midway gets to say, "Gee whiz, the printing was too slow to...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    Darn those consumers, actually wanting to know what the price is before they buy....expecting anyone who does business more than once to be able to present that price. Buyer beware it always has been, and will be. munk

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    I don't begrudge them the gouge when prices rise and they can sell existing stock at more of a profit. That happens. And that's the price of doing business and their right. They were not trying to 'gouge' me; their prices were consistant with what we expect from Midway. This is not the...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    Er....anyone think Midway paid that high for the bullets? They bought some time ago- and have raised prices to meet today's market. They bought low and sold high. But, that's not my gripe. They're getting more than the standard markup. Flutuating prices going up help retailers. They get to...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    REcoil Rob- I like Midway. They made a real mistake and are falling back upon 'the way it is'. They failed. Not recognising this is a problem. They continued to advertise prices, probably for a year, they knew before each printing where no longer valid. There was no one in Midway who...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    The defense of Midway is based upon the fact that market prices flutuated wildly, they book printing of catalogues in advance to save money, ( a sound business practise) and therefore cannot be held responsable for printed prices being so out of whack to actual prices. They've known for over...

    Midway's Printed Flyer Prices Not Honored

    Products with wildly fluctuating prices should be advertised that way. "Prices subject to change- call for current quote." The clerk said metal prices have gone up for a year. Has Midway been advertising the same old way for a year, listing prices it had no intention of honoring? It...
