Heck, I was coming home, to Canada and was almost subjected to a strip search by my own Canadian Borders Services(?) because I was wearing a firearm related ball cap!! They emptied all my luggage and really went over the lining. Meanwhile, huge shipping containers, originating in the PR of China, where ammunition, clones of ARs, SIG, Walther, Browning, etc. are made by NORINCO they don't have enough staff to search more than 1/4 of 1% of the containers entering our country. (Nothing to see here, Move along)

Climate change! ≈=============== I saw the news about this on FB yesterday. I remember fishing from that pier back in the '60s.

I personally like Ruger Bisleys because I have fairly large hands. I have a pair of Pietta El Malo’s that are the smoothest I’ve ever seen right out of the box. If you can come down to Wartrace on May 30th for the side match day of the Tennessee State Championship you can see a lot of guns and most folks, like Lucky Lead Pepper said, will be happy to let you try some out. If you come by the Dance Hall you can try out the Cut the Rope target.. Randy This is a Ruger Vaquero with a 125gr. .38 special

Seems they went beyond that. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/01/04/2021-28398/secure-gun-storage-and-definition-of-antique-firearm From another article: "The definition of an “antique firearm” had the wording for rifles changed from “the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge” to “an explosive.” Likewise, the language for a shotgun was changed from “the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell” to just “an explosive.” This change, although seemly minor, would move muzzle loading devices and flintlock pistols made before 1898 to the “antique firearms” category."

I suspect that these folks are engaged in CYA since they have seen .50-70 ammunition for sale. But it ain't like you can walk into Bass Pro Shop and pick up a brick of .50-70 ammo. It is kind of a boutique offering.

Not sure what the extra handles and stuff is for with that kit. Try this one.

Told y'all. NIAA (No Intelligence At All).

Just finished shopping at and tried a key vs a quarter and it worked!

Me and Skeeterbite had a blast last year. Hope to make it again this year.

The longest wooden pier on the left coast partially burned last night. The last time my wife and I were over there the deserted restaurant building on the end of the pier, the part burning in the picture was occupied by a bunch of homeless persons. They had junk piled up all around it and they were living on the inside. I wonder how the fire started?

Well, I had a buncha gift cards for Cabela's that I got as bonuses from work. So, today, I got this for "free." It's an Ithaca 16 gauge. Now, why this particular gun? Well, I already have a modern Winchester Ranger in 16, but didn't really think it was worth tooling up to reload for. But... I had more than enough gift cards to buy this, so this gives me an excuse to get the things I need to load for 16 gauge. And, I can get Cody letter for it. It's it pretty good shape, and I am looking forward to shooting it. It's not as nice as a Parker, but what is? Interesting thing is that the safety does not engage when you open the gun. In fact, the safety is really stiff. I can't even thumb it on. Not that I'll worry about it.

The weather tomorrow will be loud and partially smoky. The weather tomorrow will be smokey and kinda loud. The weather tomorrow will be ..... 'tomorrow'. I've not been programmed past midnight. Sorri Partner. ..........Widderborg

While a good animation, it leaves out the critical button that causes the lifter to go up on the return stroke. The action is there, but it doesn’t show how the parts interact to make it happen.

Back up with offer to new SASS shooters.

A friend of mine coming back from Mexican had his van inspected at the Mexican checkpoint in Tijuana. He went to Mexico to buy leather products to sell at a swap meet. A Mexican police officer told him to open the rear of the van and lo and behold there was one .22 LR cartridge. They unloaded his van and stripped it. Seats, panels, everything. They found nothing else. He was given a $100 fine, I believe and told to go home and don’t come back. He was told if they had found more ammo he would have gone to jail for a long time. He had to put his van all back together by himself and someone lifted his tool box. He never went to Mexico again. Me, I would have never gone to begin with. Too many horror stories about Mexico. EXIT: Also, I never use range bags or backpacks for travel. That is just asking for trouble.

Dang it.... Top is my custom Big Iron. Bottom is my 12" Buntline. Sometimes I pair the Buntline with the other nickel gun below. I just have fun.

Link to the ATF "law" ruling? Haven't heard anything about this. And I work at a gun store that has some older items.

I use uncoated 165 grainers from Badman Bullets, sized to .427" because of ONE Uberti 1873 rifle that gets a little snug with anything bigger than .4285". At the "point blank" distances we shoot, .427's haven't been a problem in any of my other .44-40's.

Cimmaron pistoleros, nice 4 click guns made by pietta, should fit in that budget, available in blue/ case hardened or nickel plated.

Do you also have these items listed on Castboolits under another name? Ad reads exactly like this one. If not, someone is hijacking your listing. Sam Sackett
