I'm still using the #2 pencil. :D Haven't picked up the forms and publications yet, however.

Now this I could live with! :up:

$1895 will buy you a Colt Single Action Army, and a bunch of ammo to boot. Investment wise, it will be miles ahead of that gaudy Uberti copy, both now and forever. Heck, it wouldn't take much more than that to get a second generation Colt unfired in the box.   I'm not a fan of commerative guns, and haven't yet seen one that would hold it's value compared to a regular production, high quality farearm.

Not really. Neither is difficult, but they require different approaches. If you use a carbide sizing die for the 45, you won't need to lube your cases. If you run a 7.62x39 case through the sizing die unlubed, it will sieze up in the die, and is a royal pain to remove. There are two different methods for crimping the case mouths on the bullets. Taper crimp for the 45 ACP and a roll crimp for the 7.62x39. The 45 case will need the mouth belled slightly in order to insert the bullet while it isn't necessary for the rifle case. You will need to trim the rifle cases often, while you may not ever need to trim your pistol brass.   These are a few examples of the differences in rifle and pistol reloading.

Yeah....I was kinda hoping to borrow one. :blush:  I guess I'll break out the old moth ridden wallet and either find a gunsmith with one, or else order one. Thanks.

I don't have a bad reloading manual. The more the merrier. I like to cross check some loads across several different manuals. Speer, Sierra, Hornady, Lyman, Lee, Nosler, Barnes, etc. They are all good. It is very good to have the reloading data for the exact bullet you are loading; not just one with a similar weight, because different materials and sifferent shapes can have a big effect on the load you'll want to use.   Most reloading stores will have free small maunals printed by different manufacturers. These can't be relied on for your only source of info, but do add more information, and since they are free, you might as well take them home.   Many manufacturers also have free load data available at their website. Again, not a substitute for, but a goos supplement to a manual.

Cave City, KY for me, if I go to one at all.

I found the measurements. What I lack is a proper tool, or at least the knowledge, to accurately measure my chambers to tell what I have.

Right. I understand that. This is the reason I would like to measure the chambers, as the information I've found says it could be either. I made a guage from a marker with the appropriate amount of electrical tape on the end to make it the correct diameter for a given point in the chamber. I stuck it in a shotgun chamber I know is 2 3/4", and marked it. Then I inserted it in the shotgun in question, and it went all the way to the mark, as if it would also be a 2 3/4"chamber. I guess I would like a more scientific and accurate measurement rather than taking a chance on blowing up a quality shotgun, and perhaps even me!   Would I be able to tell by inserting a 3" shell into the chamber?

I like the comments better than the article. This one in particular really shines:                                   

I have a shotgun I suspected to have 2 1/2" chambers, but with a crude guage I made up, it's barrels seemed to measure the same as one I have that is known to be 2 3/4" chambers. I would like to measure the chambers definitively with a real guage.

I like the standard AK sights considering the gun they're on.

My wife carries a model 37 and I have a 642. They are fine revolvers.   Other than the fact they are thicker in profile than a small semi auto due to the cylinder, I see no downside to them.

The Kia in your link looks like a hatchback Camaro to me. 315 hp 4 cyl sounds interesting.

If price isn't a concern, I'd recommend a Green Egg.

I have a 70 series Gold Cup. It's pretty and all, and it's probably just me, but I can throw it more accurately than I can shoot it. As far as I know the sights are straight, however.

I'd take it back for a refund. :rant:

Have you considered a 742 or 7400 Remington? Not tacticool, but can be had for less than $400, and are good, accurate rifles. Extended mags can still be found now and again on ebay.

I stand corrected. :up:

Yeah! There hasn't been a shooting there in what? 2 days now?

Dude, you don't need an excuse to move out of Memphis! We'll all understand. :up:

Yeah! It certainly isn't his fault he sold stolen property. I mean he's got a badge and all. :ugh:
