I've had good luck finding some hard to get parts for older stuff at Jack First. You have to call them to make orders. And don't think for a second the women answering the phones don't know what you are talking about THEY DO.   http://www.jackfirstgun.com/order.php

I've seen 2 for sale. one was priced $650.00. The other was $600.00. Both were "NIB" but for sale buy owner not a dealer. I'd only be willing to pay MAYBE $500-525. As most used G19  are going for $450 or so.

As long as there s any drastic changes tot he design. I'm betting everything will be fine.

Just another Thank You yo David for the .22LR. Great guy and thanks for the info on the reloading press.

I plan to be there. Unless something else comes up.

It's never good to play games with guns.  But to point a gun at some one and pull the trigger and call it a game? That is an a$$ kicking coming your way quickly. 

I think it was GREAT. For some reason I like :27-:37 the best. I think it has to do with the beaches.

  It can be difficult to tell, but the easiest thing to check first are: Do the headstamps on the case all match? Sometimes the crimp on the case(s) will be different from factory crimp. Next you could pull some bullets, dump the powder and inspect each. But you'd need to know what you are looking for and the LOT # on the box to to be sure.   I don't reload but I have seen some reloads that looked as good as new. While others looked reloaded and "dirty".  I try to but from honest people. I don't mind shooting certain peoples reloads. Especially if they tell me they are reloaded. If someone isn't telling they are reloads, they have something to hide.   In the end, you will most likely find it easier to dispose of the "suspected reloads" and buy new, reload yourself, or buy from a respected reloading company. I can't see any easy way to prove your suspicion with out a lot of work.

The one on the LEFT looks like CoreLokts they use in Lever guns.  I do believe after digging around today that the one on the LEFT it is a CoreLokt bullet. But I don't know if they used that type in .270 or not, As I never seen any in .270 look like the one on the LEFT.

I have one, it's fun to shoot. I will say, don't get sucked into the hype.  It's not like shooting a full power 357mag. As far as which pistol to get, I'd get a Glock G31 with the longer barrel to take full advantage of the round. If you are a revolver guy, I honestly can't lead you towards the Sig. Unless you just want a SemiAuto  and lighter pistol?   Would I buy my Glock 357Sig again if I had it to do over? Of course I would, But I wouldn't make it my range gun because I don't reload, It's more expensive than 9mm, and If I want to shoot really  fast 125gr bullets, I'll just shoot my 6" 357Mag.

I just checked my Remington 130gr. and they are like the ones on the RIGHT. I bought those bullets 2 years ago at Wal-Mart. They are in the standard Yellow/Green box.

I'm pretty sure my CoreLokt in 130gr look like the one one the RIGHT. I never had any in 150gr. so I can't help you there. I will confirm this later when I get home.   I guess this means I need to shoot the 270 more. That way I'd know these things.

I seen a sign in the window of Batteries Plus the other day that said they did screen repair. No idea what the price was I haven't been in the place in years.

I can believe it. Every one wants a smaller, slimmer, single stack pistol and they give us the opposite. I have no idea why they would even bother with the .380 double stack. I can see the larger 45 since they offer a 9mm and .40. But come on already, bring us the single stack .40 and 9mm.

Cor-Bon is really good stuff. Why, because I've shot it and not had a problem yet? (but I haven't with the other 2 either?) And all the test I've seen done with it the FPS was right at or over the manufactures claims. I've also shot Federal and Hornady.  I'm a huge fan of most hornady ammo. But all the SD ammo I shot seemed weak compared to other.   My order would be:   Cor-Bon Ferderal Hornady   They will get the job done in the end. So honestly it really wouldn't matter to me.

If you don't need it, want it, or like, I see no reason to keep it. I've know how you feel about keeping things, I've done it too. And like you said, "Emergency Money" is sometimes needed.  And when you need cash fast you usually have to take less than you would  if you kept it and tried to sell it at "regular price".   Also, I like to decide what ammo my pistols like, I don't like them deciding for me. And since +p is a little more that would be another reason to sell it. Or you could spend a bunch of money on it and shoot it until it "likes" the standard stuff. I assuming (bad to do) it has a heavy recoil spring? Are parts easy to come by for it if you were to need them?   All the signs point to selling it for me? My vote is to sell it and save for something else. Or just plain save the money?

I'm not knocking the BSA scopes, I run them on a few of mine, but they really lack in light transmission.  And it only gets worse when you zoom them in. and at 100 yards you'll most likely be max on the zoom.   The Simmons is a good scope for the money and comes in a solid $100-$125 performer. The only downside is it uses a 50mm objective to bring in the light. SO HIGH mount are a must in most cases.   I another thing you might want to look into if you plan on target shooting alot is an adjustable objective. That way you can use your higher magnification on short distances with no distortion of cross hairs or image.   The downside to them is if you hunt and need to make a fast shots a different ranges you have to turn the objective and that could cost you some shots.

My friend is having to send his back. Someone, not sure who, dry fired it and it DENTED the cylinder just above 3 different chambers. Now you can't load a shell in the those 3 cylinders. He knows it is his fault but still, it's cheaper to replace a firing pin than a cylinder. Plus, I'd think you want the cylinder harder than the firing pin?   As far as accuracy goes his shoot consistently high but it does group really well.

I haven't used vinegar, but I did use cold blue that you use on firearms. I can't see any downs as to doing it with vinegar, you just don't want to leave the vinegar on to long. If you do you'll have a "deeper" red rust you'll have to remove and in doing that you may bring it back to bare steel. I've seen some people use a potato to put a patina on them, I honestly can't remember how long it took to turn blue. I believe there is a Youtube video on it.   The up sides would be that it helps keep rust away/off the blade longer. But it still will rust faster than stainless. The patina help build a layer that rust has to penetrate. But the layer is very thin.

Can't go wrong with a Mora, I find the carbon steel ones hold a great edge and are easier for me to bring back to razor sharp.  I've also had a Stainless model, but the clinch river claimed it while wading the river trout fishing.  Value wise, I can't  think of any other knives that beat them.   If you want a slightly fancier model, check out Marttiini Knives.

That's when they are going to start decreasing the amount off food stamps people are going to get. Just google: " Nov. 1, 2013 Riots"   I don't see anything big happening.   Here is a start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9iHYec8eFg

Thanks for the safety reminder. And for the record, I don't think you are an asshat. An asshat would never admit they did something like that.

If you go from Glock to M&P the trigger is vastly different. The reset is the biggest difference to me.  I own a .40 and I like it. I'm just not used to the reset.   As far as function goes, it's ate EVERYTHING from Steel to reloads.  I would buy another one if I found one cheap enough. 

My brother had a Rossi 357 that would lock up and the cylinder would not turn after 12 rounds or so. It didn't seem to do it as bad with  38spl. He sent it back to Rossi (taurus) and they fixed it free of charge and sent it back to him. It NEVER had any more problems after that. They replaced all the parts internally and reset the cylinder/barrel gap. An to beat it all, he bought it USED. Their customer service is great.   I think you will be happy. I have a 6" 357 and love it.

The video was taken buy these guys.   http://www.rmvh.com/Scenes.htm   And it is Varmint hunting. Check out "When Pigs Fly", they even use the same scope reticle to show where the shot will be.
