  1. I bought a couple guns on an local online only auction this year. The were from the Overton County sheriffs dept, and apparently their evidence locker is in a swamp. The S&W 3" m36 and Rem 870 were both basically unfired, but pretty badly rusted. Who knew cops didn't clean and oil firearms before tagging and tossing?  Look before you bid.
  2. I've got one. I bought the complete upper when PSA had them for $399 with 16' barrel, bcg etc.  I searched the internet for who recommended what mag, picked up a few C Products, and couldn't be happier. I use 10 rd. magazines for hunting, but I've shot C Product 30 rounders (27) with no problems. I've built a .300 first, but never was really happy with less than .30-30 ballistics.  7.62x39 ain't a big step up from .30/30, but it's a damn site easier than .300 blackout.  
  3. I use an old military rig I forgot to turn in. It holds everything from a Colt Scout, to a Sig 220, to a mod 10 S&W with no problem. Not stylish or particularly quick drawish, it holds a firearm securely while on the tractor, bike, or 4 wheeler, and it's way more comfortable than a belt rig.
  4. If I was going to do it, I'd be worried about his lawyer coming after me IF it did crack the cylinder, forcing cone, spring the frame, etc. etc. etc.
  5. I had a Sako Alll: Good rifle till it cracked the stock through the wrist. I would load the .375  soft point hornady's  made for the Winchester .375 with 4064 for a decent whitetail load. A .375 (.36 muzzle loader) round ball with a little Unique under a bit of cotton ball filler shot very well also.
  6. I used to use wax bullets and an old T shirt hung 10 steps in front of me playing quick draw mcgraw. Melt about .5" of candle wax in a pan and drill the primer pockets out (I used .125" drill bit) of some cases that you mark NOT TO BE USED for any other reloading. I used mag primers (no powder, of course) in .357 and .45LC, pressed the case into the cooled wax, and they shot fairly well. 
  7. I had an old Police Positive in .38 s&w, and a New Service .45 and I never really liked the way either one felt. The grip angle was too cramped on the one, and too wide on the other. A S&W K or N model always felt better. This King Cobra/Anaconda/Trooper mk V frame size feels pretty nice, however. And every Colt (revolver) trigger I've shot was just plain sweetness.  I'll miss 'em.
  8. Or I could cut the barrel off and use the grip for a doorknob. Both good choices.
  9. I'm working on a Colt King Cobra (V frame mid '80/90s), and found the supply of spare parts for these later Colt revolvers to be getting pretty darned thin. Stuff like latch springs, firing pin springs, etc. are not available from the regular parts houses. Reckon we're seeing the end of an era? 
  10. Last night around 8pm the FFL holder calls and says come pick up the pistol, I'm clean as fresh snow.  Go figger.
  11. I got denied on an FFL transfer yesterday. I buy a few firearms each year, and my last FFL transfer purchase was in June on an AR receiver from AIM which sailed through with the normal rapidity, and I've not committed neither felony nor misdemeanor since.   In any event, this is my first time gong through the appeal process. Anyone else ever had this happen and care to offer any suggestions or advice? I hate being at the mercy of some faceless bureaucracy.  
  12. I've got the rossi 92 and it's been a reliable and accurate firearm for over 15 years. I've never owned a marlin .44 mag., but I have owned the .444 and 2 .30/30's. They're fine guns but I never noticed any superiority in workmanship over the rossi. Easier to scope is about the only plus I've noticed.
  13. I spend a lot of time on my bike, and to have a squirrel come around a curve on your side of the road with his/her eyes on their crotch is the rush you don't want. Since they're trying to kill me, would deadly force be justified?
  14. I feel like an Indian watching the white man coming.
  15. From May till Oct. I'll do night fishing, and then mosting during the week. 
  16. Dremel is one of them tools you normally use at a bench or table, with an outlet near by. Do the cord.
  17. We have invented (or at least stolen) the Redneck Margarita.  12 oz tequila 12 oz beer 12 oz frozen limeade 1 ea. 12oz can Fresca. big pitcher, mucho ice, and a designated driver. After the second one you really can't tell, so we usually use a cheaper tequila.  Sam Adams, Calfkiller, etc., adds a nice little bouquet, but after the second one you could use Milwaukee's Best. Bon appetit!

  19. Should be legal to shoot them over your own property. Get TWRA to set daily limits and caliber restrictions. Shotguns only, and I'm thinking #6 shot would give drones above 200 ft. a reasonable survival rate. 
  20. Ahhhh,,,,It's more in the nature of a joke Robert.  Although I too have been to Baltimore, and it ain't no joke.
