The 1873 and later 1892 were designed to fire handgun length cartridges. The 1894 was designed for rifle cartridges. The 73 was originally offered in .44-40. Where as the 94 was originally offered in .30-30. However, today Winchester does offer the Model 94 in .357, .44 Magnum and .45 Colt. Most lever fans consider the Model 92 better for these rounds as it cycles smoother and is a bit smaller and lighter. BTW: Safeties on these rifles is a fairly recent addition. Most lever lovers consider them an abomination.

Remember it ain't just LaPierre. The board of directors is packed with his hand picked cronies. What we need is a clean sweep. But it ain't likely to happen as long as this bunch runs things.

The only useful info you can get from MLGW is on their outage map. That will tell you where the outages are and how many affected. But you can't see it without the internet. So much for that. 7th, I'm surprised that you've been out so long. Crews were all over Bartlett right from the start. But the damage was real bad. As I said, I was out 2 days. What part of Bartlett are you in? BTW: I don't blame you for being pissed. One more thing, another bad storm last Sunday knocked out a lot more people in the Cordova and Germantown areas. But I think most of that is fixed now.

GOA, SAF, FPC and several other 2A organizations have already laid all the ground work. With the recent ruling on un-finished receivers, there's a good chance that this time the pistol brace rule will finally and forever be nullified. NRA is finally jumping in for the sole purpose of claiming the win even though they did almost nothing. Don't give them a holes too much credit.

Well, it could explain Joe's forgetfulness and inability to walk.

Turns out that Hunter was in the WH on Friday and went to Camp David with his parents. Things that make you go Hmmmm........

The White House was temporarily evacuated Sunday evening when a white power substance was found in a "work area". Police tested and determined it was cocaine. Joe wasn't home at the time. He went to Camp David Friday. [url=https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4080540-powder-that-prompted-brief-evacuation-at-white-house-found-to-be-cocaine/]Cocaine found in White House[/url]

If there had been a SRO there and he didn't respond, we'd have never heard the end of it.

Somewhere out there is an American that has to idea that today is the last day they will have 10 fingers.

The only armed presence at Covenant was when the Police showed up. Lots of things about that incident don't add up and rumors abound. What ever happened to the supposed manifesto? Another is that Gov. Lee's wife was friend of one of the victims and that's why he's pushing for a Red Flag law. Any truth to that? It seems that after the initial flurry after the shooting, there seems to be an effort to make it all disappear. Why?

Many years ago I had a small part go flying out of a pistol I was working on. Despite my best efforts, I never did find it and had to order a replacement. Some 8-10 years later we bought another house and I was packing up my shop. I moved and old rolled up target on the top shelf and guess what fell out? My current shop has a number of small items hidden in its neither regions. Including a 1911 recoil spring plug that I swear went through the roof and is now in orbit.

I got the e-mail too. Sounds like a scam artist to me. Wouldn't be the first time some new organization has ripped people off for donations in the name of gun rights. Hey Dave, I strongly suggest you fire up a good lawyer before this azz ruins the TGO name. BTW: if you need battle funds, don't be shy to ask. I'll gladly chip in.

I'm not familiar with that brand. But, like the pistol, just about everybody makes them. If you like the style and price, go for it!

My power was out for 2 days. Came back yesterday morning. My generator powered the fridge and freezer. Got me some light, the microwave and a small over-the-air TV. I made out just fine. Internet and cable just came back on a little while ago. Surprising how much I missed that. I had to get out and run some errands yesterday. Power is still spotty in Bartlett. Some blocks have power and the next one is stone dead. The Wolfchase area is especially bad. The mall and Wal-Mart were out. I think most of it is back by now or will be soon. Its been an interesting few days.

I have one on my house gun. But I never carry it. I did buy a holster for it, but its more of a duty style and not very good for concealment.

Dammit! Once again something I like is too far away.

The car burglaries thread got me to thinking. It seems the latest crime trend in Memphis is large scale smash and grab robberies. Several have been caught on video. Its always the same. late at night several cars pull up in front of a business. One car (usually stolen) is driven right through the front of the store. Then as many as a dozen thieves run through the smashed glass and grab everything in site. They know exactly what they're looking for and right where it is. They get the high end stuff and leave the rest. Then they jump back in the cars and are gone in a matter of minutes. Well planned, well organized and fast. There have been about a dozen such robberies in Memphis in just the last couple of months. Liquor stores seem to be a common target. Is this happening in other parts of the state? One of many stories

Car burglaries are becoming an increasing problem in the Memphis area. But its not so much residential. Thieves are targeting large companies with huge parking lots and lots of employees. Especially those that work an overnight shift. Also high on the target list are hotels with lots of out of state license plates. I've seen news stories of as many as 30 vehicles hit at once. Sure isn't doing the Memphis tourism business much good.

I agree. This gun started out as a BSR , not a Victory. It was originally chambered in .38 S&W. If it has been re-chambered to .38 Special be aware that the chambers are a bit on the big side and brass may be sticky or even split when firing. .38 Special bullet diameter = .357. .38 S&W bullet diameter = .361 OTOH: thousands of BSRs were re-chambered to .38 Special after the war and sold in the U.S. I've never heard of anybody being injured or the gun damaged by firing .38 Specials.

The U.S. Victory models were 4" barrels. Some 2" guns have been reported but considered rare. The British Service Revolver was much like the Victory but had a 5" barrel and was chambered for the .38-200 British round which is a .38 S&W with a 200 grain bullet.

This is what you get when politicians who know nothing about firearms think they know what's best for gun owners.

New info: Story Here Lots of people were getting all bent outta shape because a gun shop was involved. Tons of speculation about government over reach, Biden, dems and whatever. Turns out its all about tax fraud. "The agents had a search warrant and claimed that Mr. Van Hoose underreported millions of dollars of income from his business, a claim Mr. Hoose vehemently denies." Current guess is that the 4473s are to prove more sales than actually reported. So untwist those panties folks. Ain't no over reach or conspiracies here.

This is an interesting story that's popped up on another forum I visit. A couple of days ago, armed IRS agents raided and temporarily closed a gun shop in Montana. After spending most of the day going thru records, they left with about 13 years worth of forms 4473. By all accounts, the agents were polite and behaved themselves. But questions remain. Why would the IRS raid a gun store? Why would they want/need the 4473s? Bear in mind that at this point there is little more than lots of speculation going on. Many are outraged and jumping to conclusions. Still waiting on actual facts as to why to come out. STORY HERE 2nd Story Here
