    If in Illinois OPPOSE House Bill 5855. Protect Illinois Communities Act

    Your representative finder is missing. This is where I went to find mine. https://www.elections.il.gov/electionoperations/districtlocator/AddressFinder.aspx So far I see opposition witness slips vastly outnumbers those who support the bill. Keep it up and put the pressure on your reps to...

    If in Illinois OPPOSE House Bill 5855. Protect Illinois Communities Act

    It's unfortunate that they won't listen. It's all part of the narrative they are trying to push. Feel good laws have not been productive. History can speak for itself.

    If in Illinois OPPOSE House Bill 5855. Protect Illinois Communities Act

    Next committee hearing is Tuesday(20th). I listened to the last one and at one point the entire panel confirmed on record that the bill won't do anything to stop crime. They also showed thier colors by how they questioned those giving statements opposing the bill. Witness slips for the hearing...

    Left Handed Crosman 1377 Steel Breech Recommendations

    So I just dove into the rabbit hole of accessories while waiting for my Crosman 1377 to arrive. Not really wanting to go all out yet, but one of the first parts recommended as an upgrade is to use a steel breech. However, I am one unique little ducky and am in search of an ever illusive LEFT...

    Blackpowder pistol needs some TLC

    I'll just create a non firing prop gun of sorts out of it down the road. I would say it would look good as a display piece but not as a working gun. Also use the time to learn how to wood work so I don't screw up a good one. Sadly though, I may have to sideline my thoughts about getting a kit...

    Blackpowder pistol needs some TLC

    I guess to me the barrel seemed more solidly built, but then again, I'm no metallurgist. Thanks for the website recommendation by the way, as well as Kp321 for earlier in the post. Looks like I would be throwing money away if I try to resurrect this pistol at least in the present time. I may...

    Blackpowder pistol needs some TLC

    Put the caplock mechanism back together this evening and realized the only part salvageable in this mess may be the barrel. the hammer spring has a crack in it, the trigger also has a nice crack in it(which I knew when first pulling apart). Looks like it is truly going to be a ground up build. I...

    Blackpowder pistol needs some TLC

    The internals did look cheaply made. I did see a few of these reproductions in auctions but that's it. No place for parts from what I can tell. I guess I could turn it into a project gun but don't know where to start.

    Blackpowder pistol needs some TLC

    Hi all, I have been holding onto this for a while and really hoping it can be resurrected. I think the photos will tell the tail but basically long story short, I found this stuffed into an old lead shot bag in a drawer at my grandparents house. Looks as if it was run over by a truck. Barrel...

    St. Louis Gun Shops

    Keeping all my options open. I would of course go to the distributor, but If I'm in there and I see something I am looking for and it's at a reasonable price, I'm going to want it. I've been in contact with cabelas customer service and they are not giving a straight answer at the moment. Need to...
