  1. I wouldn’t do it. In the late 70s in Oklahoma it was somewhat common practice among some Law enforcement officers to have their 38 specials converted to 357. A gunsmith would just bore out the 38 special cylinder to accept the longer 357. I was encouraged to have it done, I did it on a model 64 S&W and never felt comfortable with it, sold it with full disclosure. Non magnum cylinders are not tested or designed for magnum loads. Yes I know Elmer Keith invented the 357 by pushing the envelope. YMMV.
  2. Rossi .38 special 3 inch barrel. Have never successfully fired more than one round out of it at a time. Got it like new in box early 2000s, don’t know when it was made. I load up a cylinder, pull the trigger goes bang and the cylinder locks up. A Winchester 190 .22 Jam-O-matic even after I tightened the barrel. The current runner up is a Cobray 45/410 double barrel. At least it shoots, but I kind of hate it. Lots of others in the past.
  3. Fully vaccinated and boosted. I wear a mask when required and I try not to push my luck. I am 100% convinced at this point, if your mind is made up pro or con, no one is going to change it. Best wishes to you all!
  4. They were good shotguns! I had a brand new police model many years ago. Mine is long gone. I think I still have a couple police marked s&w 12g slugs. Anyway you brought back a memory! GLWS
  5. John Schneider was very clear on what the procedures are supposed to be! Very informative!
  6. Seems like a rookie mistake to bring live ammo anywhere near a movie set. Did the assistant director just grab a gun without asking her and assume it was safe.
  7. https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/22/alec-baldwin-movie-shooting-assistant-director-handed-loaded-weapon-gun-rust/ New scapegoat assistant director!
  8. I remember that one, I believe it was the first episodes of MacGyver.
  9. It just doesn’t make sense. The gun had to be deliberately fired. I wonder how live ammo got loaded, if that’s what happened?
  10. https://www.indiewire.com/2021/10/alec-baldwin-fires-gun-kills-cinematographer-wounds-director-on-rust-set-1234673555/ So old west set, some how supposedly gun misfires twice, kills one and wound’s another. I don’t think they know what a misfire is! I know blanks can kill at contact close range. This doesn’t sound like blanks or “misfires”! https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rust-crewmember-dies-after-prop-gun-misfires-on-set-of-alec-baldwin-film
  11. I have great respect for General Powell, may he Rest In Peace.
  12. I haven’t tried to hunt or fish at Campbell in quite a while. I find the access and procedures for check in to be a pain. I have gotten credentials before but just don’t like the check in process. I am older so I don’t like to deal with the bureaucracy. https://ftcampbell.isportsman.net/
  13. Nice looking rifle! Watch aimsurplus and grafs if the Swiss ammo comes in they usually get it.
  14. https://www.recreation.gov/search?q=Nashville%2Ctn
  15. I think that’s a great deal! GLWS! I am a left handed shooter, otherwise I would be all in on this.
  16. Do you have specific milsurps you are interested in?
  17. Very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Prayers for your healing and recovery.
  18. 5. 99 per hundred for federal they did not specify a limit. I bought a thousand just to have a little bit more. I bought federal and later realized they had CCI 6.99 per hundred as well.
  19. I saw them online in stock. Couldn’t believe it! Ordered online, picked at front desk a few minutes later. Have also seen large pistol primers in stock at midway and Natchez today. So maybe things are getting a little better.
  20. Possums have never been a problem for me, I just let them be. Ground hogs and skunks are another story.
  21. Yes, I live trapped a family of wild cats out of my Mom’s backyard. A can of tuna is irresistible to them.
  22. Those are awesome! Very nice accumulation!
  23. Congratulations you got a deal on that one! I had one many years ago! Only P-series I have left is the P95.
  24. That 6 inch model 19 is perfection! Had one when I was a young man. I foolishly traded it toward a Colt 1911 at the time. Sadly I don’t have either one now. GLWS!
