    Biggest cartridge flops ...

    Don't rule out the 30 RAR just yet! (I think there's still a pulse, however weak). I say this because I want one to play with!

    Next 41 Mag?

    Redhawk! I have a Bisley, a 4-5/8 Blackhawk and a Super 14 barrel in .41 and am looking for another in an Old Model and/or Redhawk, whichever comes first-

    270 Win

    Oops. 230 grain or 130 grain? Sierra Grand Slams or Speer?

    Anybody have Altamont black/silver grips on a Blackhawk?

    Nice .45! Got one just like it-- I don't know 'bout the Altamont grips, but have to ask: First Bisley? Shot it yet?

    Reloading in a Garage

    I'm in Fort Worth and it's not any different than Austin (where my folks live)once the summer heat sets in. I reload in the garage, un-air conditioned, year-round but store primers, powder and loaded stuff in a closet in the house. Most years from about mid-june through September it gets just...

    Where to buy in Texas

    I haven't shopped the Temple place, but have done a LOT of business with Elk Castle over the past 13-14 years. They have changed some in staff and management over those years, but I have never walked out of there feeling like I'd gotten anything but a fair (or better) deal.

    Questions on a Ruger Model #1, 45/70

    scubadown: Nice rifle--I have that caliber in a No. 3 and love it. I also believe that I have the part you need. It's a Williams sight, was a right-side mount (no clue what it was on, I've had it for years), but you should be able to switch the aperture around to work. My old eyes can't hack...

    Southern Arizona: tell me about it.

    Don't overlook the Whetstone mountains between SV and I-10. When I was stationed at Davis-Monthan back in '72-75 I spent many trips in those hills, south of what is now Karchner (sp?) Caverns. Nice deer country in there. A tour of the caverns is pretty cool too. I once found a stalagmite in...

    .308 reloading question

    Agree w/dakota--I often have to tap down the 4064 when loading for the Swift, but 4350, 3031, and others will need a slow trip down a long drop tube to fit.

    Smith and Wesson Model 15

    Like many deals I've regretted passing on, I really wish I'd of kept the 15-2 I let go a few years back. Sure a nice shooter.

    Last purchase at Cabela's

    The Ft Worth Cabelas folks have walked me to the door many times; usually it's Brian, or Maria, or H.B., or Melissa... I understand why, and enjoy the talk with them along the way. No one's mentioned yet that they also have a sign-in and escort for folks bringing a weapon into the store for...

    US will not challenge gun ban in national parks

    This...person...took an oath--twice!--to support & defend the Constitution! For that matter, so did /do folks in Congress. Quote: "Semiautomatic weapons have no place in the valleys of Yellowstone, on the cliffs of Yosemite or under the torch of the Statue of Liberty," There's one to...
