    Magnum primers for Longshot in mild .44 Magnum?

    "Magnum" Primers are said to be a little hotter, and in a case size of the .44 Special it might be better to use regular Primers and adjust with powder charge, that said Winchester Large Pistol Primers clearly indicate on the Package "For Standard and Magnum Loads". On a side note: I had a S&W...

    Scout rifle for our current times

    15 years ago when Century Arms had 'em cheap, I bought several with cracked stocks and/or other issues, one of which was a M44 that I cut & Crowned behind the Bayonet mount leaving a 17" barrel, bedded it in a ATI plastic Stock, put a LER Pistol Scope on it and gave it to my Teenage Son....it...

    Scout rifle for our current times

    Mini-30's (or 14's) are going over a grand... Com-Bloc Ammo is still around, but I'm afraid the Biden Cabinet (Democrats) are going to stop ALL importation and it'll stay that way until who knows when if ever. Even "inexpensive" AK copies are $1K and up...one of our Wholesalers had CAI built...

    Question for other owners of CMP Special M1 Garands

    It's a simple 1/8" x 3/4" steel Roll Pin that's available most anywhere Hardware/Fasteners are sold. AR-15's use the same size one for the Trigger Guard, they're really nothing special and you could use one longer or shorter to hold the Band on.

    Can pre-ban mags really be banned? (NY)

    Having been in the EMS field for over 16 years, and having had worked with and been a patient of Military/VA health care providers I can attest that not all are qualified to make a proper or positive diagnoses. Do you realize how easy it is for someone in a layman position to say "we'll this...

    Can pre-ban mags really be banned? (NY)

    Well that's partially true; NY is really divided into two classes: NYC and the rest of the State. The City is so densely populated with liberal Democrats that they sway the vote & representation of the rest of the State. Counties and Districts vary between Blue and Red, but for the most part we...

    .410 - what is it good for?

    Sorry, I forgot to add that Mossberg made a home defence M500 in .410 It was geared toward shooters of "smaller stature", even had a neat pistol grip forearm. In many situations it would be an ideal house/yard gun.

    .410 - what is it good for?

    Many folks fail to grasp that a .410 propels the same sized pellets the same speed as any other gauge. The only diffrence between a 12ga, 3dram, 1-1/8, #6 and a .410, 3dram, 1/2oz #6 is the shot load itself. Granted more pellets will infilct more damage, but how many birds have you cleaned and...

    Beretta1201F

    I own both the 28" VR blue/walnut and the high capacity FP. The tubes and where the barrel "mounts" on the tube are diffrent. Brownells offers magazine tubes, but they are expensive. Used barrels are few and even more expensive! There is a guy who runs shotgun barrel ads in Gunlist and...

    Northern New York gunshow/vacation

    Yes that signature like is harsh. It was done in response to a thread, and not changed after the fact. Even after changing the signature line, that line will always appear in any thread it was originally displayed on. I'll say I'm sorry in advance to anyone who may be offended. glenn

    There will be a gunshow in Clayton, NY August 20-21. Now for an excuse to go: How about a mini-vacation to the "Thousand Islands" region of the St. Lawrence River? Follow this hyper-link to my sales pitch: "Come visit the islands" and see a gun show too!

    What's wrong with Colt?

    I like Colts, and would gladly own more NEW COLTS IF they became civilian friendly again. As "Wakal" pointed out with the Anacondas: I bought one in 1993 and it cost $372.50 sent UPS/COD to my house. Now "dealer" is over $750. IF you can find one. WildAlaska sounds like he's got a good...

    What's wrong with Colt?

    Well this thread has shifted from AR's to SAA's. Point: Colt originated the SAA, so all others are copys. High or low price doesn't always equate quality anymore than it does junk, it's all subjective. Even a worn out POS with the "Colt" name will command big bucks. (Maby it's a status or...

    What's wrong with Colt?

    Somewhere in Colt's heiarchy there's got to be a person whos either brilliant, or a complete ass-clown. FN has/had the contract for military rifles Bushmaster and now Rock River Arms picked up a huge number of agency rifles. Colt cut production and discontinued many of its handguns. They...

    Are you afraid to look at gun magazines?

    The reasion people look at us funny when we're reading gun magazines is because everybody knows that gun owners are dumb-xxx, back-woods, red-necked, hillbillys that can't read or take a bath. (please people, this is only sarcasm) :rolleyes: I carry a copy of Shot Gun News or a wholesalers...
