  1. Growing up, my mom would put some boxes of .22 LR and a box of 12 gauge shells in my stocking. The only problem was she always bought hard kicking high brass shells. But it was the thought that counts! Wish she was still here.
  2. Sure you can.....................................but it ain't easy. You have to pay a hazmat fee AND have a direct contract with either UPS or FedEx.
  3. A college friend bought a 1928 AC Thompson. It's a hoot to shoot!
  4. So many nice guns, so little money.
  5. Wish I had some funds in the ole piggy bank. I'm only about 70 miles away.
  6. I don't know. When I was in Afghanistan as a police advisor, there was a SF camp nearby. Some of those gentlemen were a bit, shall we say, not dressed in complete Army uniform. Their captain came by our training center at the same time a LTC from the Vermont National Guard was present. This colonel was a mite miffed at the captain's attire.
  7. Nice britches. I haven't worn size 36 since I was in high school.
  8. I bought a new 9422 in 1973. It had the smooth buttstock and forearm, no checkering. It had a great action. Paid $100. I sold it around 1979, just knowing I could replace it easily, sometime in the future. WRONG!
  9. History: S&W brought out the .44 American, which had an outside lubed bullet, like the .22 Long Rifle. The Russian liked the top break S&Ws, but didn't like the outside lubed bullet. An cartridge with a bullet encased was developed and called the .44 Russian. In about 1907, S&W lengthened the .44 Russian case and called it the .44 Special. In the 1950s, Elmer Keith went to S&W and Remington and asked them to load his heavy .44 Special rounds. In 1956, S&W and Ruger brought out revolvers chambered in the .44 Magnum, which is a lengthened .44 Special.
  10. A friend of mine brought me one that he had partially taken apart. The mainspring was jammed. After quite a bit of cursing and putting it together and taking it apart AGAIN, I finally got it back together. I took it to him and told him if he ever took it apart again, I was going to bring it back and stuff it up his.....................................................gun safe. BTW, the frame is very soft. Try not to bend it. I put his in my vise and had to straighten it out after I got finished.
  11. I'd buy that New Service iffn' I had $699 laying around. I've already saved up the rest.
  12. I have the Ohaus version (pre RCBS) and have used it for about 50 years. This is a good deal for someone!!!
  13. I think it is time to trade Northern Virginia to Maryland in exchange for Western Maryland.
  14. WHY should a revoked FOID have anything to do with the issuance of a driver's license??????
  15. If this carbine is firs this description, Garrett Arms (marked FHG on stock, double diamond on bbl) It is approved for N-SSA competition.
  16. Are you looking for cylinders for a large frame or mid frame Ruger single action?
  17. Right now, with the sorry economy, if I heard that steamboats were selling for a dime apiece, all I could do is run up and down the bank, shouting "Ain't that cheap!?" No money for more guns. Probably wind up selling a few, which I really hate to do.
  18. I like mine. It has the plow handle grip & handles the .32-20 just fine.
  19. I have a Uberti Model P Jr 4 1/2" in .32-20/.32 H&R Magnum. I also had a Cimarron/Uberti SAA 4 3/4" in .32-20. Remington built rolling blocks, as well as pump action rifles, in .32-20.
