    Smith vs Sharps reproduction carbines?

    Dixie and possibly other sources has or had these brass cartridge cases plus appropriate bullets for the Pietta Smith and originals. Don't remember if they had gutta percha cases like the originals or not. Nitrated paper ctg with sharps ctg.

    Midway USA It's Started Again.

    It's the customer/business thing you so aptly point out that set me off. I had been a midway customer for many years and recently had to move to a new e-mail address. I specified no advertising and, when that failed, tried to use the opt out on each advertisement. When that didn't work, I...

    Midway USA It's Started Again.

    Internet experts to the contrary notwithstanding, Word for Windows Does have spam folders and options for allowing rules which erase mail from marked addresses without displaying them. These, however are NOT available from the interface on my ISP. Now. I am going to erase my original whine...

    Midway USA It's Started Again.

    They are now telling me that my request has beenplaced in a "cue" and that they would eventually get around to respecting my desire to be eliminated from spam mailings. This does not ring true since the promotions stopped for a while. I do not use MS Outlook express because the program is...

    Midway USA It's Started Again.

    Rant eased because it agitated quite a few internet experts and preachers.

    Model 70 Super Grade '06

    Matter of fact. 49.5 grains of 4062 is in the 2600 + range and showed wider extreme spread and larger groups. Velocities across the 2700 fps range are the published factory standard though some Hornady loads are in the 2800 fps range as are some handbook loads with various powders. The load I...

    Model 70 Super Grade '06

    the scope is a leupold 6x42 fixed power. It seemed like The Right Thing To Do though I'm not sure that fixed power scopes still have any advantages over the modern variables.

    Model 70 Super Grade '06

    This one is the current model - three or so years old. They are free-floating the barrels now and the trigger is really good-though it seems to be the item most often replaced. It's easy to shoot off-hand and 180 grain bullets in the 2700 fps range are pretty comfortable. I find that I can...

    Winchester Western "GI Ball Load.

    It's the WWI reissue with carbona blue- the first such that Colt Put out several years ago. Collectors find it a very good reproduction with the reseration that the polish lines are not going in quite the same direction as on the originals from 1917 In sharp contrasts to the usual trigger pull...

    Winchester Western "GI Ball Load.

    It sure does look like you said but side by side they appear the same and the groove depth measures the same on the WW load and the old GI brass.

    Ruger GP-100 6 inch .357 vs. Smith 627 5 inch barrel

    Accuracy like this is fairly common with Smith Handejectors of the various frame sizes and the 627-8 specifically. It's also pretty characteristic of a lot of rugers. This particular one has an action job equivalent to most smiths. For me, the rugers stand up to magnum loads while smith...

    Open Carry Passed in TX... now what?

    The change in the law will invite more casual concealment providing unobstructed access to the holstered handgun. Open carry should be legal but it does seem desirable to wear the arm in such a way that the disinterested observer is less likely to see it. I've noticed that potential predators...

    Winchester Western "GI Ball Load.

    NO This WW new stuff $23-50rounds at cabelas performs just about like the old military and most commercial 230 grain fmj. From Gunblast.com 2006: "My pistol sent 1954 WW Military Ball out at 826 fps/ 349 ft pounds energy and 41 fps spread over 7 rounds. 1960 Match Ball averaged...

    Winchester Western "GI Ball Load.

    Newly manufactured GI type factory load from WW. It is headstamped WMA 14 in a pattern that kind of looks GI. Next to 54 match ball, it has a more visible crimp- fairly unusual in any factory ball load. Performance is nominal for the GI load and off hand shooting showed good accuracy.

    Open Carry, TX. style

    There is no real conflict. A business owner can refuse service to gun carriers. Gun carriers in turn, can refuse to spend money with anti-gun sissies. It all balances out. Signs on the door identifying the place as a enemy establishment are actually a benefit to the licensee. Both sides retain...

    Open Carry, TX. style

    When the CHL passed, a lot of 30:06 signs went up. The anti-gun pudge-muffins were telling the store ownere that they were liable for the actions of anybody carrying guns on their premises. Customers complained.Customers went away. The Signs came down. Now the only places that post them are...

    Open Carry, TX. style

    and when the police don't seem all that interesting, they'll make up something to get their attention. There are many crazy people and they have an open license to do harm. One local woman, a medicated schizophrenic, here in waco, saw a motor cycle rider a couple of days after the meeting at...
