    More reliable Remington or colt cast your vote n tell why

    Driftwood: late question but do you have much problem keeping your Remington conversions running shooting black powder loads? I understand the cap and ball versions get crudded up quickly and don't want to turn.

    Gun stuff

    Knee or hip replacement? My wife has had both knees replaced and each time they sent her home the same day. Be sure to do the rehab physical therapy religiously otherwise the surgery is for naught. If it is a hip they say recovery is easier. Prayers for a fast recovery.

    Guns You Should Have Bought When You Had The Chance, And Now Regret Not Buying

    My son bought three of the Swedish Mausers back then. He sold one to me for my wife and he eventually sold the 2 that he had. (not a smart move) My wife will not make the same mistake; hers is all numbers matching, including the barrel bands, I recently saw its twin in a LGS priced at $1K.
