Fall Creek Falls and Henry Horton are nice. Cedars of Lebanon is o.k. if you really like ticks. :ugh:

There are no shortages of a##holes for sure!!!

I'm not for price controls, and the guy can do whatever he wants with the ammo he bought. What I don't understand, to use your car analogy, is if people were waiting at car dealerships for shipments, and buying ALL the cars before they hit the lot, and doing it for nearly a year now, wouldn't manufacturers ramp up production to meet demand?   This ammo shortage has lasted longer than I expected, and I smell a rat. I just can't put my finger on it quite yet.

You are looking at $700-$800 if it is a mixmaster, as most of them are, or $2000 up if original.   Either way you got a great deal. After you shoot it, you'll not want to part with it. It's like a large scale 22. A really fun plinker.

Trust me.....there are plenty left. Plus, for everyone we sporterize, it'll make your originals worth more.

If you owned the only model of firearm I'm aware of chambered in this cartridge, you wouldn't want to fire it. I expect he's either got an ammunition collection, or else looking for some to display with his 1903 conversion if he's very lucky.

I always wanted to attend an NRA convention. Sounds like I might not get a chance at a closer one.

They also could have came from a 6.5 Jap, 6.5 Carcano, etc. Really hard to say for sure.

Do you have something to shoot it in? If so, we need pictures!

Pulled 6.5x55 bullets?

I'll add this. They are top notch guns at a value price when you stumble across one.

I don't wear tactical anything, but I'm usually to be found under a Savage or Winchester ball cap. If anyone has been offended, or even noticed, I don't recall it ever being brought to my attention.   Good thread even if it's an old one.

Then I'd suggest you let it go seeing the current bid price.

                       http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=89866 I found these instructions to be concise, complete, and easy to follow.        

I'm more akin to "The Government's too damn big"  philosophy myself.

The revolver looks rough to me, and in my opinion, already overpriced for just the gun. A 51 Navy, while desirable, isn't a rare piece.   Now there's where you are going to have to do some soul searching, as it appears others do as well.

Yeah. Only one rifle is just crazy talk.

It has a five shot rotary magazine, so pointed bullets aren't a concern. They were also made in 308. If you consider sub M.O.A. accurate, the 99 fits the bill. I feel that a detachable magazine is nothing more than something you will eventually misplace, or at least forget and leave at home.

This past season at the SEC baseball tournament, I found LSU fans to be the biggest A**holes on the planet. Your mileage may vary.

So did Winchester.   I need to correct my previous statement. In addition to a long and magnum action, there was also an Interarms mini mauser action. If anyone has one in 223 they'd part with, please send me a PM. :wave:

Not just the gun thing, but what the hell does any of that garbage have to do with school?

I believe they came in long and magnum; not short, but I'm not 100% certain.

Absolutely. I always hate to hear that an LEO is killed or injured. I just don't hate it any less when anyone else is killed or injured.

If you move to Castilian Springs, you'll likely be able to shoot in your back yard. It's a nice, rural area.
