Would also consider trades on a hunting rifle scope or a Mossberg Shockwave in 12 or 20 gauge. Would trade both for one.

Looking for a black powder revolver. We’ve recently hung my father’s first muzzle loader, an original Springfield Hawken, in my son’s play room. Looking for a revolver to mount as well to balance out some of the other war memorabilia. This will be a wall hanger, so doesn’t have to be in working condition (but would be cool if it worked).

What caliber? I see .338, I assume Lapua? Seems like too nice a rifle to go .338 Win Mag or .338 RUM.

Looking for 10mm brass. Can pay cash or trade .45 ACP small primer brass.
-
Looking for a single action rifle in large caliber. Something like .500 magnum, 45-70, that sort of thing. Not real particular on caliber, just have an itch for a big bore iron sighted rifle.

Last I looked, you can only specifically hunt hogs on private property. There is no "hog season" anymore. If you see one while deer hunting (during deer season) you can shoot it.
This is accurate. If on one of the WMA you can only shoot one during deer season.

Charter Arms UC Lite .38 Special
Cerakote black and brown, more like an FDE than brown though. Recently sent back to Charter for a complete internal overhaul. So it’s basically new inside. I can include a cheap-o holster. $300 obo. In Dickson area, but frequently in Nashville.

I normally carry a 442 once or twice a week. I used to have a 3 inch barrel J frame, but I just didn’t see an advantage to it.
For ammo, I carry run of the mill wad cutters. I’ve studied the .38 special loads. And I mean seriously studies them. Most of the bullets are designed for a .357 mag out of a 6 inch barrel. No way a .38 special is going to generate velocities for reliable expansion, regardless of barrel length. There are very few, and I’m mean few, bullets that can expand from a .38 special, the only one I can recall is the Federal HST, which is an oddly loaded and very specific bullet designed for a snub nose .38.
So, why wad cutters? Well bullets do to the body what they do on paper. A wad cutter punches a nice clean hole, breaking and cutting tissue and bone, and if they hit bone, they dramatically tumble. Any sort of conical bullet hits tissue and pushes it aside, or glances off bone. If the bullet pushes tissue aside, the the tissue just returns to where it was after the bullet leaves. Think of your paper target, if you see that sort of shot hole, you can actually push the paper back in place, that is exactly what happens to tissue. Most people don’t realize how elastic the human body is.
Anyway, long story short, carry wad cutters in your .38 special!

Looking for a Glock 40.

Like new. Only been out of the safe twice, MAYBE had a full box of shells shot through it. Just going with something a little longer. Comes with Velcro loop on the stock for shotgun cards. $200 or for $220 I’ll thrown in an esstac multicam 7 round card, just so you have one.

No judgment on the hunting style. I’ve been cold in the woods plenty of times. This was out of state hunting my father-in-law’s property. It was a meat hunt and a nuisance management hunt. But I did shoot my best buck with the Ruger American on the left (not from the garage window).

Yes, it does have rubber inside. I will say, carrying shells brass down, we fired about 150 rounds and didn’t have any shells rattle out.
-
I believe it’s aluminum. And I think it only mounts to one side of the receiver, it it were on the right side then the rounds couldn’t eject.
-
Bump, price lowered to $20, or for $25 I’ll ship it to you.

Bump. Come on, someone has to have a spare parts bin they want to dig through and make a few bucks.

I’ll go second in line if it falls through.

Looking to purchase a few Glock 43 parts. I’m putting together a build kit for my wife’s birthday, not a carry gun just a fun project.
Looking for:
Factory trigger (I’ve read some of the build kit triggers bind the slide)
A magazine - Glock or other brand is fine
Sights - factory sights are fine, take off from some one else’s gun are cool, again, just a fun range project
Maybe a factory recoil spring? Don’t know if I’ll need that or not, but I’d heard some of the build issues can be resolved with a factory spring.
Let me know what you’ve got, again take off and stuff out of your junk drawer are fine.
