WestKentucky, I have a set of RCBS 7.5X55 dies that I have no use for . Shoot me a PM and they're yours. Free. And I'll pay shipping. Call it an early Christmas present. It's just my way of paying it forward. I have some brass I'll throw into the deal. Some of them are reformed .284...

Compared to non-Ruger Mini 14 magazines...they are ALL good.!!

The Scheel's in Iowa City has plenty of powder and primers,... at outrageous prices. But at least they DO have it.

I live on five acres of land in rural Illinois. What I shoot depends on what time of the year it is and what kind of crops are in. I am in the center of "flatland, USA" Corn, and to a lesser extant soybeans, are an excellent deterrent to ricochets. In the warm months, when the crops are in, I...

Hi Dave. Sounds like the same thing the Army did with the approximately 50,000 early gas trap Garands. About fifty are known to exist today.

Driftwood... that's what you get for messin' round with those new fangled contraptions! Real handguns have a revolving cylinder and shoot ammo that makes a cloud of white smoke! Smokeless powder is a passing fad...

I have two hornets. Both are Savage model 23Ds. Inexpensive guns in their day but fine shooters. They are full sized guns (OK, MAN sized! Now the feminists will hate me! ) with 25 inch barrels. I got the one with the cheap Tasco scope for $100 at a gun show. Guy warned me that the scope kept...

JT, I've drooled on the picture of the beauty ever since you first posted it. Pre- model 10 K frame Smiths in that condition are rare and most of them are .38 specials. The 32-20 chambering is a bit more difficult to find and it makes the gun that much more valuable. I was going to PM you with a...

I have a Japanese type 99 bayonet...that attaches nicely to my M-1 Garand... Go figure...

In the Army, in Germany, my company had a team that competed in air rifle competition. This was 1969. Targets were shot off hand at ten meters. We competed against the Germans and, of course, we regularly got out butts handed to us on a plate. The rifles we used looked like the OPs post. I...

Geez...where have we seen and heard THAT before!!! Truer words were never spoken.

I have never fired a Hi-Power, but I do own one that has never been fired! T-series from 68. Wish I had the pouch it came in but I don't. A friend bought it new, didn't like the sights, or the trigger and he hated the safety. He decided to keep it as an investment. He never took it to the range...

And Neither one is a songbird.

Dude, we have to have pics in order to really help..
