M1 Carbine, but I do like my M39 Mosin.

One good thing about 20 rounders is you can carry 10 in a cloth bandolier with the strap around your neck. Two bandoliers is 400 rounds, which was our basic load in the 1st Inf Div in Vietnam. Lots of firepower.

Woulda shoulda coulda, that's a great looking rifle. I got a deal on my Armalite, and as I said, it's a good rifle, but there's always room for one more,maybe a Colt later.

Armalite AR15 5.56. I used an M16 in Vietnam, and just had to have one before tshtf. I like this rifle, and would recommend it.

NRA aking people to contact congress I called both my senators and my congressman, plus that old rogue, Mitch MCconnell.

What guns have you sold/got rid of Original Trapdoor Carbine. I was in college and had a date for a beach party with a good looking blonde and I needed money for the weekend.:banghead:

I have a Model 12 Winchester that had the same problem. It had a dent in the tube about where the second shell would go. Someone had dropped it on a hard object I guess. I tried driving a mandrel through it, but that never worked out. I just bought a used magazine tube.

2nd Amendment and PTSD I did two combat tours in Vietnam, and there is no way I would ask for help from the VA for PTSD even if I suffered from it. I do not trust the VA or my government honoring my 2nd Amendment rights in todays political climate. Thank God for the NRA.

When I DEROs's back to the states from 1st Inf Div in Vietnam in June 1968, I was assigned to the Rifle Subcommittee at Ft. Benning as a Staff Sgt. instructor. Lt. Col Whitted was the OIC of the Quick Kill firing program, and had a range on Dixie Road set up for instruction. There was initially...

Value of a well worn early Winchester 1912 I have a Model 12 Heavy Duck, Model 12 16 gauge, and a Model 12 20 gauge, plus a Model 25 12 gauge. I absolutely love each one, and my family would have to be starving for me to part with any of these shotguns. I fell in love with Model 12's way back...

I am a new 642 owner, and noticed negative comments on the 642 with the lock. Could some of you experts enlighten me on why the lock is a bad thing?

Cleaning guns with Simple Green Hoppe's #9 has worked for me for years. It also smells good.

I guess I'm the newest member of the 642 Club if I am permitted to join. I bought one for my wife to carry when she goes to the farm to work in her flowers. She seems to have changed her mind, so unless she changes it back, I now have a 642. I have fallen in love with it, and it goes into my...

Dang it! Dance and Brothers sold out.

Firing both barrels When I was about 14, I fired both barrels of a Fox Model B 12 gauge loaded with 00 buckshot. I never tried that again.:cuss:

Kevin got right back with me, and I should have one soon. This couldn't have come along at a better time.

Yes, I was an M-60 machinegunner in The 1st Inf Div in Vietnam in 1966-1967, and a door gunner in a helicopter gunship, 120th Assault Helicopter Company Razorbacks, 1967-1968.

Good information, Curator! I used to cast wheelweights for a Marlin 1895 45-70 waaay back in the 70's when they first came out. At that time,the barrels had "micro-groove" rifling, and I never did get good accuracy with pure wheelweight castings for some strange reason. Now that I'm interested...

Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds like I need to mix a little lead with the wheelweights, or buy a loading press. 250 pounds of wheelweights is a lot to go unused.

72coupe, how do you tell the difference in the zinc from the lead wheel weights?
