I saw some shockwaves for sale the other day. It said they had 18 and 1/2 inch barrels. I figured it was a typo. But then I saw some more ads. Different companies. Also saying 18 and 1/2. So I went to Mossberg and I looked, and they still make the 14 inch but they also make an 18 and a half. Apparently that is for the states that said "we don't care what the feds say, that's an illegal sawed off shotgun!!" But if the barrel was that long, without a stock the overall length is going to be more than 26 inches. So you can take a regular 18 and a half inch pump gun and take the stock off and put a pistol grip on it and it's perfectly legal. And I think to myself, I think I think, I wonder how many people buy it with a long barrel telling themselves they're getting this "super special SHOCKWAVE", when they can buy a regular riot gun and get a raptor stock and put on it and have probably less money tied up.

AR-15 discounts. The Winchester large pistol primers that were on sale.

According to their website they are in North Carolina. But according to FedEx's website the stuff is coming from California. Drop shipped from Winchester direct???

Yours is going TO California from North Carolina? Mine is coming FROM California to Florida. Whadaheck?

Finally got my updated tracking notice. My primers, which shipped on the 14th, will be here on the 21st. Takes a week to go from California to Florida. Wow. But then I thought about it a little bit and realized that they could not put them on an airplane. That's against the rules. And driving from California to Florida takes almost a week. But the train would be a lot quicker. If they can put them on the train. Hmmm.

If it had been a Ruger revolver in the 50s, it would have been a single action, and I seriously doubt that a bad guy would have used one.

While researching this - the "how to" - I never did find anything saying "how to" do it. I found many discussions about "why to" do it. And most people seem to think there was no reason to do it. I recall one person saying that the military sealed their primers because of long-term storage. Ammunition might be in storage for years, decades. And he said that he never has loaded ammunition last more than a couple of months. I could not decide whether he shot a lot or whether he didn't load very much. My wish is to have several thousand rounds loaded for each cartridge I shoot. And since I load 35 different cartridges, that's a whole lot of ammunition stored up. I know of people that wish to go shoot so first they have to go to the store and buy some ammo. I know of people that plan to go shoot tomorrow so they are sitting down loading ammo tonight so they will have something to shoot. Both of those seem foolish. You wish to go shoot tomorrow? Go to your ammo supply and get some ammunition off the shelf. Shoot it all up within 2 months? You are either shooting too much or loading too little, or both.

You're right. Short. They started with a 32 ACP and shortened it. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/pistola-pressin-llamas-sneaky-self-defense-weapon/

I assumed that the brush with fingernail polish would be too big. I tried the dayTODAY with the toothpick and that's a total waste of time. So I used the brush. I got a whole 50 of them sealed. Have about decided that is a waste of time.

Somebody? It was me that pointed that out. And he crushed the gun more than just once.

I remember them days. When I first started reloading - 1974 - primers were a penny a piece. Might have been cheaper if I looked. Because I was buying them at the expensive sporting goods store. That was the only place I knew that sold reloading stuff. Dollar a box, $10 a case. Boy I miss those days. Penny primers and 10 cent bullets. And 25 cents a pound wheel weights.

AOW Any gun that does not look like a gun is classified as an AOW. That includes cane guns and belt buckle guns and knuckle dusters and "my friend". I wonder why he did not list the cartridge? I'm presuming 7.65 Browning, but he didn't say.

That would be nice. And it might explain why small pistol is so much cheaper. They figured everyone would be reloading 9 mm and 40, so they made gazillion small primers, and now they're stuck with them. But this was 5000 for 199. And they sold out quickly. So they got some more in and they were still 5000 for 199. And they sold out. The price I have listed now is 349. They are also listed as out of stock, so maybe if they get some more in they will be on sale again. Maybe.
