    How concerned should I be?

    I know nothing about the Rossi carbine, but here are the SAAMI specs for the cartridge: https://i0.wp.com/www.theballisticassistant.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/357-Magnum.jpg?resize=525%2C676 Chambers must be made larger to insure function, and the spec set by the manufacturer must balance...

    Mosin 35 whelen

    There is a significant difference in rim diameter, body taper and overall length that make me think feeding would be problematic. The Finn reworks of the 1891 are highly regarded, however, so by all means try the rifle with decent ammunition to see how it shoots. You may be surprised.

    How are these made for a fraction of $20?

    What distinguishes knives made in China? Price and resemblance to knives designed and made by others. When I bought that Schrade stamped steel Barlow pattern folder for $1.50 back in the 50s, any resemblance to the Case pocket knife that Dad carried was superficial, but the knife was good for...

    Rising prices and stocking up

    Let's try to focus on the OP question of what he should stock up, and be respectful or the thread will end.

    Rising prices and stocking up

    Price and availability concerns are a part of being a consumer. Once we have been through some supply/cost cycles, we tend to be a bit careful, and of course we have seen the stampedes for toilet tissue and other commodities. Consequently these threads pop up regularly, and seem to have a life...

    6mm Creedmoor

    I have had excellent luck with Norma's 6 CM match loads, and they're abundant at $30/20 here. 6mm Rem was also my first deer rifle, and it was always a solid performer. 6 CM just takes advantage of some minor tweaks, and decent rifles at $1000 cost relatively less than the $114 I laid out for...

    Too gut hook or not.

    Hook blades in a utility knife are extremely useful for cutting cord, opening packages and a myriad of other things. They are a bit fine for the skin and facia of a deer belly. My Wyoming Knife works fine for that , but I agree with those who don't care for single-purpose tools and that may be...

    Whats the most "childish" gun you own?

    If by childish you mean suitable for use by a child with proper supervision, it would be the basic black Crickett rifle I picked up at a pawn shop many years ago. I had great fun sighting it in, and subsequently picked up a Keystone chipmunk pistol in 17 hmr. If by childish you mean goofy...

    The current gun sales environment

    It's the classic gun trader's dilemma. When the price of the gun we want is reduced, so too are the values of our trading stock. Prices will ebb and flow due to circumstances we can't control, although we like to think we can. Some guns like the ubiquitous striker polymer pistols will likely...

    Supreme Court ruled Bruen methodology (Text/history/tradition - burden shifting to states) as law of the land, how will this apply to future 2A cases?

    This thread seems to have run its course. The court will do what it will do, regardless of our analyses.

    Handing over a long gun to a fellon

    At this point it seems that we have gone as far as we can on the facts we have. Some may be operating under the assumption that the guns belonged to the son at some point, but that has not been stated. Some may be assuming facts not in evidence. Let's pause at this juncture to let OP supply...

    SIG Takes Another Hit on the P320

    What we know: A jury verdict was entered against SIG Sauer by a Philadelphia jury in the amount of $11 million. $1 mil actual damages and $10 mil punitive. It must be so, because a jury in one specific instance was convinced. But we all know this is not the end of the story, just as the end of...

    Any relationship between BHQ and Blue Ridge Knives?

    The cutlery business family tree is gnarled and ingrown. Pete Kershaw was also a Gerber grad. This somehow doesn't show up on Kai's website history section. Western Cutlery was started by HN Platts, who had married a Case daughter and worked there before moving to Colorado. Fascinating to trace...

    Handing over a long gun to a fellon

    The gun is property of the estate. OP is a bailee. If an executor or administrator is appointed, it should be given to that person upon presentation of the court appointment document, with a receipt received. Some states may have an alternative method of administration of small estates involving...

    Smart Watch Activity

    Old data never dies. It just gets repackaged, repurposed and assimilated by AI. I try not to feed the bears, but the bears are getting pretty adept at feeding themselves.
