Have 2 . A 1903 sporter has been around forever & has my last 4 groove GI barrel . Still has her Zeiss Diatal-T 6x42 . A Rem 700 I bought in '73 upon return to the big PX . Rebarreled & rebedded got a Leupy 3.5 - 10 x 50 VX3 Heavy Duplex on her . Both have harvested their share . With new...
The last 10 yrs of my career was up north . Those union guys will keep on the Blue Train until hell freezes over . It's all they know . I was treated much better in the " Oilpatch " than any northern union job , plus better benefits . They've ponied up every time the Dems ask & now feel it's...
If one has higher end / collector stuff I can tell you from experience there's a handfull of buyers that will pay market if it fills a hole , is an exceptional example , is a complete package with all the factory goodies etc . If you wish to sell & recieve fair value then you need a larger...
Lots of " shooter grade " guns...................only problem is they got a collector grade price on 'em . This area is a tough market for used guns . Even tougher for collector items . Market will determine the price as somethings only worth what someones willing to pay . If something's been...
I'd much rather have a PD property # / Case # electropenciled on a piece of plastic than one of my beautiful 1911's or S&W / Colt revolvers . Just in case you gotta use the damn thing ..........
I wouldn't be adverse to picking up a couple more either 21's or 17's . Have a 30S for CCW that I like so much I cleaned up the trigger & fitted a KKM barrel . It turned out good so I did the same to a 17 . Since they're " donor " guns I won't pay more than $ 450 for one & prefer Gen 3's .
I...
Another 41 loonie . Started with a Model 58 41 M&P 4" , also had the Model 57's . Kept a 6.5" Blackhawk & a Henry lever . They handle heavy loads better than the Smiths . 8 to 9grs Unique classic with any cast 210 - 220gr . 7.5grs of SR7625 also a good load in the same power level . Settled on a...
Many 308 Win come with 1 in 12 , 1 in 10 is common for 30/06 , 300 Win Mag , 300 H&H & older 30 cal rounds . 1 in 12 will shoot 168's just fine , 175's maybe not . For deer within 300yds any old cup n core 150 - 165 will do .
Wait until after the election . Gonna be the whole enchilada............between the whinnin' , relocatin' , & propaganda bureau havin' apoplexy , a fella aint gonna have time to watch the internal bloodlettin' at the DNC..............let us pray
You don't want to have a case blow out in an unsupported chamber period . Even a 45 acp in a 1911 will blow the mag out , splinter grip panels & even injure shooter . At roughly double the pressure what do you think will happen ? Nothin' good fer sure...........
IMHO for hunting & fire...
Never messed with light bullets in a 308 . Years ago as as young man of extremely modest means , sporter '03 30-06 I found the Sierra 125's could vaporize " prarie poodles " aka 'yotes . Never tried 'em on anything larger as expansion was explosive . Even std weight Sierras were prone to spit...
Horsetraded my way into one . Good shooter , can be made to fit one's hand & IMHO the best SAFE trigger on a striker-fired gun . This coming from an old S&W / 1911 guy . Same trigger every time unlike traditional DA/SA autos . The Canik TP9 & Walther PPQ also have sweet triggers , but IMHO are...
