@ Radagast Thank you. That's a bit older than I thought - I was thinking mid to late-90s given the condition and the previous owner said they shot it fairly often. Obviously - they took good care of it.

Yet another 686-4 Excellent Thread! Caliber: .357 Mag Barrel: 4" - not ported Grip: Rubber #Shots: 6 Sights: Target Adjustable Serial # AVE41XX Thanks!

I had an older Glock 21 years ago. Great gun - ultra reliable, accurate, easy to shoot and maintain. Unfortunately I bought it before I understood the importance of proper fit and had trouble with my smaller hands. In rapid fire, it got a little difficult to control and accuracy would suffer...

@ Cosmoline: Yes - I have been thinking of getting a flintlock once it is in the budget - low tech has it's advantages. Not to quibble (ok, I'm quibbling) - but a nice pice of bent yew, some tendon, flint, wood, and feathers would be greener - but I'm not ready to go that low tech. @ Azyogi...

Slightly off topic - but illustrative of the thinking in some institutions of higher learning which train teachers: The year before I transferred from community college to a "prestigious" midwestern institute of higher learning - they shut down the campus indoor shooting range and converted...

I have a T/C Omega Z5. I have tried quite a few of the T/C brand sabots and for most shooting I like the "Mag Express" with the 240 gr. XTP bullet, which is to my understanding a 44 cal bullet that Hornady uses in personal protection handgun loads. Of course the spire point bullets are more...

Anyone for skeet golf? ROTFLMAO as I read through this thread, glad it was resurrected. I don't play golf - but always thought my idea might be fun. One player hits tees off, another tries to shoot it down. 2-stroke penalty if the ball gets blasted. One issue might be people wanting...

There is a swap section here on THR, go to the home page and scroll down to the trading post. Good luck finding one in good condition that someone is willing to sell - and "good" price is a relative term. I have a MkII Target and IMHO fail to see how the extra features on the MkIII have...

Thanks for the support on the stewardship issue. I was trying to sound a little less preachy. Agreed one ought to make an effort to hunt down spent shells and shot cups. On that note - the more I shoot, I'm thinking of getting into reloading my shotshells - are there any such thing as...

I have a T/C Omega Z5 and on a good day can shoot 4" groups with it at 50 yards offhand, which most closely approximates most of my shooting during deer season here in Ohio. I use the T/C's 240 grain XTP "Mag Express Sabots" as they are the most reasonably priced that I have found. However...

It's mine now I went back to look at it again and was kind of surprised - it was in better shape than I had thought - that's what happens when posting late at night and trying to remember details that one did not write down on initial observation. Perhaps I was a little more critical of this...

I see this is an old thread but still going - good. I'm going to echo the sentiment that many people are stuck on the bigger, faster, newer kick. So I do wonder why someone would disrespect a versatile and affordable round that can be found in virtually anyplace that sells ammo - even during a...

My question to the original poster is this: What is the rifle's intended purpose? Hunting, Target, HD, all or some or none of the above? I'm guessing you are not looking for a safe queen as a primary concern is ammo availability and affordability. Hmm - in a later post you said looks and...

To JWF III: Your rant is one of the reasons why I have developed an interest in collecting older rifles, specifically bolt-action rimfires. That and for a beginning collector, they are an affordable niche. Interesting you mention a Stevens 311 as I'm looking for one of those as well. Rant...

Thanks for the feedback - and more me thinking out loud I was wondering as I saw a couple on Gunbroker going for higher prices, and some older discussion posts here and other forums - but in much better shape. Yes, some fool might pay $140 for it - so that is why this fool walked away. One...

I found one today - asking price was $140. I have read nothing but good things about the 5-teen series. It looks like the perfect small game gun and training rifle. Action is smooth, trigger crisp, bore is clean. Stock finish shiny, wood has the usual nicks one would expect to find on...

Hammer Shotgun Blues Kirby, Thanks for the input. What I thought was a really cool purchase is becoming one of these: :banghead: I tried the excercise you suggested - the tension on both hammers feels the same when one cocks them back. I also noticed that, when cocked, the left hand...

This is an older Interarms Rossi Overland - last imported in 1978 to my knowledge. It's a fun little gun for busting clays - and I can hunt almost anything with it, but the left barrel fails to fire about 20% of the time. Definitely light hits to the primer - but differing opinions on how to...

Shoot it and it will smooth out Years ago when I took my first NRA pistol course, I had the opportunity to shoot the instructor's S+W Model 13 versus my Ruger Security Six. I was amazed at how smooth the trigger was on his Model 13 and asked which gunsmith did his, as my Ruger - even though it...

Autoloaders and Subsonics To answer Red Tornado's question - yes my Mark II will cycle subsonics - given a clean and well-oiled condition. Surprisingly, my 10-22 will also cycle subsonics - given the same conditions. With the 22" barrel - that one is _very_ quiet when using subsonics. I have...
