OK, let's do it. Five boxes/5000 @ $50 ea = $250 + one large Flat Rate box @ $18.75 and one medium Flat Rate box @ $13.45 = $282.20, OR if you can save me $5.30 and distribute the contents of the fifth box into the other four and use two medium Flat Rate boxes for a bottom line of $276.90, it would be appreciated.

Ya don't see too many original centerfire 1860's or Spencers in this game either. Good grief, shoot what ya want, within the rules of course, and go have fun. Ya'll are going to go into meltdown when someone shows up shooting an 1895 Nagant with a .32acp conversion cylinder.

Your PM box is full. You should have 7000/7 boxes left - if you can distribute the contents of the 7th box among the other 6, I'd take what's left @ $50/1000 + $37.50 for two large Flat Rate boxes for a total of $387.53. Each box will be 62.5 lbs in lead alone, so wrap the inner package with a couple thicknesses of plastic tarp material, duct tape the crap out of it, put an address on the inner package too, and they should make it here just fine.

FRONTIERSMAN Any Main Match percussion revolver with non-adjustable sights (Note exceptions listed re:dovetailed sights) . (Exception: The 1873 Uberti percussion revolver is not allowed. THE PLAINSMAN This event requires two .36 caliber or larger Frontiersman Category style percussion revolvers, shot Duelist style. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems pretty clear cut to me - not legal in Frontiersman or Plainsman, but not excluded in any other categories. Oh, and with a little work, they CAN be converted to centerfire.

These bachelors have been hanging around below my house for a month now, pretty much ever since hunting season closed. Picture was taken a couple hours ago and they haven't moved more than fifty yards.

Doesn't look like a 4 3/4" .44 spl is on the list.

I paid $375 for this P&R dash one, but that was 10 years ago.

GB doesn't add 15 minutes for bids in the last 15 minutes, it RESETS the time to 15 minutes. If you bid at 10 minutes before the auction's end, it doesn't add 15 minutes and go to 25 minutes, it just resets it to 15 minutes.

Kimber Solo. First Kimber I've ever owned, and damn sure the last. I don't think it's ever made it through an entire magazine without a jam of some sort or another, using Kimber's recommended ammo selection, as well as a host of others. I bought a new Kahr CM9 for just over half the price of the Kimber, and it feeds EVERYTHING. Same size, half the price, and shoots any 9mm I've tried in it.

Wait a minute... what are the short versions of the .25-20, .218 Bee, .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40?

Dang, dat's a good price! Good prices on muzzleloaders here lately.

When the 7 1/2" barrel length was discontinued in 2010, some retailers were selling them for as little as $389. I should have bought a truck load.

It ain't just newer vehicles - A couple years ago, I changed the starter on my '82 Honda Civic. It's right there in the open, easy to see and get to, but one of the bolt heads isn't visible... because it comes in from the other side. It involves a tricky maneuver using a universal joint and two extensions - two because one long one is too long to fit. Ya gotta stick one up there with the socket and universal, get it on the head of the bolt, then stick the other one on without the socket falling off the bolt head. I invented some new words before I was done. #@**%!

A very rare beast - I've read that the 17 is the only 1st gen model made, but I've also read that a handful of Gen 1 19's exist.

Me and Alice Palmer had planned on making Logan, but after a look at the forecast last night, we change our minds!

Twenty three below this morning, and more snow this past week than we had all winter last year. Wind chill temps in other parts of Montana approaching fifty below.

The "belt fed" Mitchell mags were the only 50 rounders I ever tried that worked reasonably well, but the plastic tab on the cover was easily broken off. Ruger or Butler Creek steel lip mags for 25 rounders.

I read about CAS in some publication or another 'bout 20 years ago, asked around and found a match, and went and watched and asked a bunch of questions. I already had some suitable shotguns, and a pair of 4 5/8" .45 Blackhawks, one blue and one stainless. I went to one of the local toy stores and bought a 24" stainless Rossi '92 .45 Colt, and attended the next match with the new '92, the Blackhawks, and a 12g Rossi Overland hammer coach gun.

I've went through several hundred thousand rounds in my life, and can't recall having a primer failure with a reload with ANY brand of primer that could be directly attributed to the primer. Other folks have posted here about having X% failures with XXX brand primers and "I'll never use them again", but I'm inclined to believe there were circumstances involved other than a "bad primer".

Our friend and fellow shooter, Michael Phillips aka Two Fat Phillips, passed away November 26. Although a new member here, he was a very avid and knowledgeable gun enthusiast, and loved Cowboy Action Shooting. He will be missed. Obituary

I don't think there's any such thing as a Gen 1 G23. Pretty sure all Gen 1's were 17's and 19's.

I live off the pavement aways and I don't see my cats from March to December. Last year, 9 of 'em showed up out of the woods when it got cold. This year, only 1 so far. I'm kind of a softie and build a small insulated shelter for them several years ago, and put out a heated water dish and store-bought food when they show up.

There they are! Many thanks!

I've seen shotgun hammer "blanks" somewhere in the past, but can't find any such thing online now - rough cast hammers you could order with a specified throw range and no hole. I recently bought a MASSIVE New Ithaca Gun/NIG 10g that has the wrong hammers on it, and need to replace them. The ones that are on it strike the firing pins at a severe downward angle, don't properly line up with the firing pins, and rebound too far - at rest, they are a full half inch from the firing pins. The right side fires reliably with primed cases, but the left side only ignites the primer about one in three times on the first attempt.

Are you kidding me? Powder that you don't have an immediate use for is just poured out and disposed of?? Coincidentally, I hadn't used 2400 in several years myself, but had two or three pounds on hand. I have an SMLE and an 1891 Argentine and decided to give BAMM a try, and 2400 works great. If I have powder on hand that I no longer use regularly, I'll make a use for it!
