    45-70 brass, factory vs cowboy loads?

    I have a Custer era Springfield trapdoor that I am refinishing. I picked up some 45-70 brass and noticed that it has a slight taper to it and does not fit the chamber on the gun. Is there differences in 45-70 brass? My only thought is that the newer brass may be made slightly larger in order to...

    Shot Heard 'Round the World

    I believe that the phrase "The shot heard around the world" actually started with the capture of Ft Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain. The Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Alan caught the fort and in celebration of capturing the cannons and powder stores they filled one of the guns to the end of...

    Gun show prices have been in a bubble for 20 years. They are a total waste of time, unless you are just browsing. The dealers often mark everything up to cover the cost of the table at the show.

    A good sign on some gun shop shelves

    Note that this is a TrueValue store. 3.29 on thunderbolt the regular price even before the scare. Truevalue went through a refit a few years ago where they followed in the box store example of selling everything pre-packaged, so no more cutting screen or selling bulk nails. All the stores who...

    A good sign on some gun shop shelves

    It is $1999.00, but what was a Pre-ban Colt bringing before? I was thinking this was pretty cheap considering? I was thinking that they were in the $2500.00 range. I didn't ask if it was a consignment gun or not.

    I am a Democrat for RKBA

    See DC V Heller. Justice Souter dissented in that case... and he was appointed by Bush SR. So your argument doesn't hold water.

    I am a Democrat for RKBA

    President Obama has signed gun legislation. In 2010 he lifted the Ban on guns in National Parks... and signed a law that allows guns on commuter trains!

    I am a Democrat for RKBA

    The point that many of you are missing is that fact that Obama isn't a Dictator, his power as President is limited. Those of us who vote Democrat, but also are pro A2, take into consideration the balance of power when we cast a vote. If Romney had won; our A2 rights would be in far more...

    I am a Democrat for RKBA

    Good post HM. I am with you. Romney was more anti-gun than Obama is... His own words and actions have confirmed that. Republican Rep Pat Llodra is pushing for a ban on all "assault weapons" and testified Yesterday that they do not belong in civilian hands.

    Wal-Mart adopts new ammo policy

    I doubt they will be moving any time soon... They have been here since their creation. Actually if you think about it all of the Manufactures who have been around for 100 or more years are based in the Northeast. The National Shooting Sports Federation is also here. They are like the NRA only...

    Wal-Mart adopts new ammo policy

    Brolin I haven't seen any news reports about ammo shortages... it is actually oddly quiet on the ammo front, occasionally a news report will mention a boom in background checks for gun purchases, but I haven't seen anything else. Ct actually has a pretty significant gun and ammo...

    Wal-Mart adopts new ammo policy

    CZ: Nice pic. Did you buy the two bricks of 22 LR on the top shelf? My local walmart looks about the same as the pic you posted, less the 22 LR. But I have found that the local hardware store hasn't been impacted by the increased demand. My local True Value is fully stocked with everything...

    Wal-Mart adopts new ammo policy

    I think that the manufacturers are probably operating at their regular level of production or maybe even slower... Not because of the fact that holding back supply helps inflate prices.... but because if they ramped up production, in response to the supply shortages, and the media caught wind of...

    The Dreaded Bushmaster.

    I live near Sandy Hook, next town over actually and the school is only 5 miles from my house. There is a gag order in place so until the official investigation is closed we will not have the answers. However; the Medical Examiner confirmed that all were shot with the 223 except the shooter...
