    This auction on Gunbroker - http://www.gunauction.com/buy/13885423 for CCI Stinger - with shipping right now it's roughly 17.5 cents per round, with 3 days to go... It's cheaper in the stores around here - GMt, WalMart, etc... or am I just in a lucky area?

    Which one do I want to buy...?

    Trying to decide on a semi-auto 12 ga. I want camo, 2 bbl option - one 28-30" for geese, etc and one rifled for deer. I have narrowed it down (in my price range) to the Remington 11-87 and the Mossberg 935. Any input - I find the same complaints and likes online on both of them. The...

    I am old, and forgetful...

    Years back, wasn't there a part of the forum that linked stories (fiction)? Am I remembering rightly, or was that a different website? And if it was here, does anyone remember a story about a monster hunter with lots of weaponry...? No, not the Monster Hunter International series by Larry...

    CVA 50 cal. Express double rifle - loads

    Any load suggestions for CVA 50 cal Express double rifle? Just bought one (Hasn't even arrived yet...) I'm assuming it's a round ball/patch gun rather than a sabot, belted bullet or other type of projectile. I'm also assuming loose powder (FFG?) starting around 80-90 gr. rather than...

    Fun by Stupid quote from Fox News

    I don't know if she was national or local, (I think local), but I heard a commentator on the day after O's big gun-control speech in MN, state that the prez was going to try to control "multi-clip ammunition magazines..." Still trying to figure out where to buy them.

    Please correct me if my math is wrong, but this is $7+ per box of 50, isn't it - for Federal .22LR? (and yes, I know they are in boxes of 525, but I'm thinking this over in boxes of 50...)...

    DA cylinder geometry, 5-shot v. 6-shot

    I have a Taurus Tracker in .44 Mag. (Please - let's not sidetrack into what crap you think Taurus is - it doesn't matter for the purpose of this question) It is of course a 5-shot cylinder. While shooting it DA, the pull is very difficult compared to any 6-shot revolver I've shot, regardless...

    new to me H&R 999 questions

    My very first H&R 999 which I just bought (slightly) used. Two questions - 1. when ejecting, shouldn't the cylinder stay in place, and the extractor lift the brass out? My whole cylinder lifts, unless I hang on to it with a couple fingers. I don't know what is normal. (I have an owner's...

    Does anyone remember this story...?

    :confused: Moderators, sorry if this isn't the right area to post. Feel free to move. I've been a member here 5 years and forget a lot of stuff over time, but I seem to remember a story that had started to be posted on THR. It was called "Creep Show" and was great! Excellent writing...

    I HATE! the NRA!

    Really...? Ok, fine. I've said it now for all you fence-sitting idjits that don't/won't join because of something you heard attributed to them once upon a rumour. Can we all kindly pull our heads out of our collective butts, and at least join the NRA. But if for some inexplicable...

    Any insights - any problems? I will not use Wolf steel case in my auto pistols again, as it just doesn't function reliably. :uhoh: Anyone use their, or any other steel case ammo, in a Vepr? = how did it extract? Thanks.
