    Wideners has Sold?

    The same cars were in the parking lot when I drove by last Friday that are there every Friday when I drive by. There is one Jeep and one pickup that are very easy to recognize. I live about 25 miles away and pass by when I go to town on Fridays. Too bad they door is only open on Tuesday and...

    gun-related names for boys?

    My son is Henry Samuel. I never really thought about the gun reference. I wanted to name him Waylon and the next one William. That way Willie, Waylon, and me could ride around singing DAC songs. My wife hates country music almost as bad as I hate alternative music so it didn't fly. The...

    Ruger No 1 reliabilty with belted magnums?

    I have a .375 H&H #1. If you open the loading gate with enthusiasm it will pull the cartridge clear and it will fall to the ground. On the other hand, if you gently work the mechanism, sometimes the cartridge will only extract slightly before the extractor slips past the rim. WAP.

    Can anyone provide times for recent paper Form 4s?

    I mailed my form 4 February 14, check cashed on the 21st. I picked up my Sparrow this morning. It was approved on August 10th. So, six months and one day turn around time. I am surprised I got it this fast.

    A story about a good rifle ruined by a bad gunsmith...

    They have only been open since the first of the year, that should have been the first red flag. Can you provide the names of these other gunsmiths? I just sent a barreled receiver to Michigan for a threading job because I couldn't find anybody within 100 miles of Johnson City to do it.

    What on earth is going on with Marlin 1894 .357 prices?

    I have observed only two new 1894 carbines here in East TN in the last year. Before that I had never observed a new one. I purchased one of them and have been very happy with it. It cycles .38s very well.

    Specs for Dillon spacer washer #13703?

    2.005" O.D. 0.820" I.D. 0.139" thick Same dimensions as a standard 3/4" flat washer. It feels to me like a plain old zinc coated steel washer. It is magnetic.

    Firearms Insurance

    I have mine insured through Eire Insurance, who also has my homeowners insurance and car insurance. I was more concerned about a total loss house fire then burglary. It's good piece of mind for about a buck a day.

    Looking for a .375 H&H

    I tried to purchase a new Winchester Safari Express in .375 H&H a few months ago only to be told that they were not available new this year. I tried several reputable stores too. I ended up getting a slightly used Ruger#1 Tropical in .375H&H.

    Interesting brass pickup...9mm case after firing in a .40 pistol

    I had a cousin who couldn't figure out why his new Marlin .22 had poor accuracy and a strange report when fired. One look at the barrel told me the answer. WMR stamped plain as day and he was shooting .22LR.
