@Random 8 thanks for sharing that. I'm glad Soapy's rifle found it's way into hands that will appreciate it. Edit to add: And yes believe it or not these rifles often ARE shooters. I have a Type 99 (no mum, but still kind of a good story as it was given to me by a total stranger) that is one of...

Always wanted a bowling ball mortar... one day

Are optics allowed in service rifle now???

I've never seen a hang fire with a centerfire cartridge. Even shooting BP (including flintlocks), the worst I have gotten was hiss/boom occurring in a fraction of a second. I'm convinced that the modern shooting fundamental concept of follow through has its origins a,, the way back to flintlocks

The photo is so grainy that I can't see the mum. But it doesn't surprise me that rifle wears one. The overwhelming vast majority of Arisakas that came to the US were turned in at the end of hostilities between the US and Japan. It was a condition of their surrender. The Japanese ground the mum...

I learned something new! That's a slick trick

Had that happen on ebay a few times. Started as a penny auction, and the postings usually had descriptions that were a little abnormal for the item sp it wouldn't come up using normal search phrases. I won a clean imei working iPhone in 2009 for $80.00. They were going routinely for 300+ at the...

I also agree with Military or LE experience =/= good shooter / safe firearms handling. I was infantry in the Marine Corps, and we were adamant about safety. There was still always those guys that screwed it up. We usually could farm them out to push paper in an S shop somewhere. Same with LE...

I've had very good luck both buying and selling on GB. There are things to watch out for, but generally most folks on GB do the right thing. Every firearm I've purchased on GB has been in at least as good of condition as was depicted and was listed at a price I was willing to pay. I've gotten a...

I suspect the rifle is fine. You'll know when you take it to the range

Law at the rounds I've put through a Marlin model 60 and maybe only cleaned the bore real well 3 or 4 times. The rifle will shoot well for 1k rounds at least. At least we'll enough to hit the cap of a drink bottle at 30 yards. Electric fence insulators at 50 if you do your part (and then I...

Marshall Williams was also a convicted murderer. He killed a Sheriff Deputy, and it wasn't some heat of the moment vague misunderstanding. He ambushed law enforcement from the treeline as they were leaving from raiding his liquor still and siezing his mash. I somewhat think the story of him...

I don't see the conundrum friend. To me, at least, the answer is quite obvious. You keep that revolver. There are options. You can learn to handload (if you like to shoot, it's a good skill to have) and load some mild .44 mag. Buy .44 Special. Put it in a box and display it, that way you can...

Excellent pickup, especially for that price! I spent about that much on a post war model that's not in as good of shape a couple of years ago. They're excellent service revolvers. Mine rings the 10" steel plate all day every day at 50 yards. I couldn't ask much more of an 80 year old revolver.

I will piggyback off of Riomouse911's experience. Everything he said is accurate. I've also written more than a few (lost count but over a hundred) in my time. I will also add that there is case law stating that knock and announce can only be waived for certain reasons. The two big ones are for...

I've had good luck with GB. Ive never been scammed. Of course, by scam I would be less concerned about someone taking the money and not delivering goods. I know it happens, but I think it's rare. I'm far more concerned that the gun is in a lesser condition than was described.

Ehh, but if you conduct any type of times qualifications, even with competent (some more than just competent) shooters, you will see that the majority of rounds will impact to the left side of a target as they face it. Better shooters will have much smaller groups and far fewer flyers (or that...

I see the cartridge shaped bore site lasers a waste of money. Admittedly, I haven't used them... but I have relevant experience that tells me they're likely suspect. I HAVE used a bore inserted LBS with great success. It is the one issued by the US military, and itsnused to bore sight PEQ-4 IR...

I guess my very first that I actually remember was hitting 3 doves with 3 rounds in a pump shotgun (my state limits to 3 rounds for all bird hunting) in a span of a few seconds. Found all 3. The second (and much more significant) was hitting a fox at a full lateral run at about 80 yards with a...

@230RN I don't fundamentally disagree with your thoughts and feelings. I merely disagree tactically and strategically, and only in a minor way at that. There may be too few Democrat voters who are unwilling to change the party from within from your perspective. Perhaps even from mine. But if...
