Quote: "I'm waiting for someone else to come along and out do Walmart, it will happen some day." Here in Texas The Academy is doing just that. And most Academy stores are located close to a Walmart. What goes around comes around.

I succeeded in the gun business with Walmart stores in town. But I never carried a new gun that Walmart sold. My dealer cost was about the same as what Walmart sold them for--their buying power staggers the imagination. So I sold, like the other person said, things Walmart would not think...

Since I am getting zero response on my thread, "Semi-newbie needs advice on rifle and powder", let me ask a less general question: Are there any Knight rifle owners out there? Are you satisfied with the accuracy of your rifle? And would you buy another one if you had it to do over again...

I used military surplus cleaning patches for years. Still have a bucket full of them. They are about 1-1/2" square--I think they were for a 50 caliber machinegun. If you decide to make your own, I would suggest cotten flanel material rather than a t-shirt. And use a jag a little smaller...

Let everybody know you are looking for lead. The problem will be finding pure lead, for your muzzleloader. There are lots of buckets of wheel weights available, but they won't work. I had a buddy who knew where an old salvaged fork lift was. We got the lead counterbalance weight out of...

It's been a bunch of years, but my experience was every rifle had its own likes and dislikes regarding powder charge, lubrication, the shape and weight of the mine bullet, and where to put the lube. But nearly all shot better with lube of some kind. My old Mississippi Rifle shot best (most...

My experience is the bores run close to the caliber, i.e. the 50 caliber barrel was close to .500. Used .490 and .495 balls with .017 pillow ticking patches. On the 45 caliber barrels I used .440 and .445 balls. Had a bench rifle (with a false muzzle) that had a .580 barrel with a .004...

I have not done any muzzleloading in over 20 years, and when I did, it was with black powder and patched round balls. I was heavily involved in competitive shooting tournaments at the time. I have no desire to go back to "burning charcoal," but have gotten interested in the new line of...

Quality Pawn & Gun 2040 Austin Hwy, San Antonio, TX 210-655-8266 Sounds like a reputable place. Worth doing businesss with them again...and again. Rafter-S

The old receipts are part of your family history. Save them. I have a receipt for a gun bought the first year my wife and I married. That was in 1961. Spent more than a month's wages on the thing even though we were as poor as church mice. Still have the gun...and wife too. Rafter-S

"Fuel is quite easy to make, all you need is sme gasoline and some white powdered detergent like "Tide". Mix together, and vuala!" This may be fundamentally true...or it may not. In either case, I highly recommend not to play with gasoline. I have spent a lot of time in a burn unit of a...

I don't know if they fall into the category of "firearm" but they sure would make a hit at the company barbque. ;) Seriously, if you had a real flamethrower, I don't know where you would get the fuel. Trying to make the stuff could be dangerous. Rafter-S

Years ago I experimented with primers in the cavity of hollowpoints. Even put small charges of Bullseye under the primers. All this was in the attempt to create better expanding bullets. The results were not near as glorious as the concept...or more plainly said, it didn't work worth a flip...

I don't know...big rewards haven't turned Sodamn Insane or Yomamma Been Laiden. Maybe a million dollars ain't what it used to be. ;)

Looks to me like a good prairie dog gun. There is somewhat of a shortage of bears in these parts.;)

I've been looking through my scope, in the process of squeezing one off, and suddenly the back of someone's shirt appeared. A guy walked directly into my lane while the range was "hot." I went ballistic, to say the least. He got expelled from the range and lost all his privliges. It ruined...

You gotta be careful when the media starts talking percentages. They often do this to make a story sound worse than it acturlly is (you know, liers can figure and figures can lie). 400% sounds a lot worse than it could possibly be. For example: the original time frame they were comparing with...
