When I read the title of this thread, I first thought, "he needs a Walker". Looks like that is the most common answer. I concur with Gentleman of the Charcoal. I've read several of his posts and he's very knowledgeable and seems to have used bp on bear. With that Remmies have killed many a...

I still have my first rifle an Enfield No1 MkIII that I got at 13 years old and my first handgun an 1858 Pietta Remmy that I got at 18. I think I have only given up one gun over the years a very beat up old righthanded muzzleloader I loaned to a cop and never got back. That thing had seen a...

I'm going to go pop some popcorn for when this thread turns into the great debate of what's the best round for a guaranteed one shot stop on the chrony.

Its been mentioned about blackpowder. Everyone should have a muzzleloader or three and cap and ball revolvers too. As far as bases covered, what if something breaks on one of what you have and you need parts quick or something else to use that ammo. Better have two of everything. :) And...

Don't know why someone would, but it almost looks like someone "stoned" or sanded some off the head rather than overloaded. I don't see any other case damage like bulging or anything and the "swirl" marks on the head look sanded in. I don't know how thin that would make the primer though. If...

I like how Palehorseman thinks. I have two that I consider truck guns that I've thrown in the cab on occasion on our old farm. One is a sporterized SMLE that I gave 30 for. Put a cheap scope on and it was good to go. The other is a sporterized k11 Schmidt Rubin in 308 winchester. It was one...

I bought a couple of them years ago for under a $100 bucks a piece when they were new on the market. Then I heard that straight pull bolt actions are unsafe. Apparently the bolt can fly back out of the action and hit the shooter. Now more of the unsafe things are in the country. If anyone is...

My other hobby is automotive related. If you want to get real picky about terminology, I'd define reproduction as a strict adherence to everything good and bad to the original. Finish, fit, obsolete caliber, design flaws, etc. Replica would be "looks basically right", but with some...

I see your point. My original post was not so much a condemnation of that particular business. It was more a post of "can you believe the nonsense that people will say to sell something". The offer of an illegal transaction would go to display a complete lack of morals in my opinion, but I...

werewolf, I figured the smiley was plenty enough confirmation for Arkansas Paul. deadin, That is exactly my understanding as well. However thinking about the hardness, I might be better off using small rifle primers for this specific application. I'm loading 9mm for a semiauto Sten MkIII...

Fuzzy posted as I was typing. It never occurred to me that I might have been the target of a sting. Interesting idea though. Thanks for defending my home state by the way.

I don't think it would matter too much to a fed agency whether it is my podunk state or The Great State of Ohio, sir, where an issue occurs just so long as it gives them ammunition. As you post on this board, I'm sure you are just as concerned as I about further infringement upon our rights as...

With my luck tell them "arkansashillbilly says you tried to sell him a gun without proper paperwork". Then I'd be buying all my brass and projectiles off the net and paying shipping and having to look over my shoulder for people other than my own relatives that don't like me.

If it's in the case in a shop, I think I wouldn't want to buy it unless I had to fill out the paperwork. As far as the specific business, I do plan on buying from them on occasion (at least until it goes up in a fireball) to save on shipping and such, but I think I'll keep it to brass and...

Huntsman, a face to face transfer between individuals is fine and dandy for cash and carry, no paperwork, but even if the gun belongs to an individual and not the "shop", it should have been entered in the shop's books and thus be logged out properly, which I think would require me to fill out...
