    .30 Pederson /7.65 French (.30 super carry?)

    First, I want to frame this by saying I like stuff in .32s. But, I've read the hype, and saw the ballistics that Federal is putting out... (probably from a 10" test barrel anyway, which is standard practice) Everything looks and points to this being basically the same cartridge with some...

    I have a basement.... :D:p;)

    FS: M&P pistol sample case, etc. (Oh my!)

    Trying to thin the collection just a wee bit... Please know I am not a commercial venture- just a guy cleaning out his storage of junk. Please be patient, as I got a bit overwhelmed with responses- I'm slow- I have to do one at a time. Thanks for being patient! I'll get to you. :) Terms...

    I have a need for sporks...

    I was just trying to find a nice set of dinner table sporks. I've got some relatives and their little ones coming up for the holidays, and I figured a nice touch (and laugh) would be to set the dinner table setting with some stainless steel sporks. I can find the big salad sporks, plastic...

    Which "Pump" Riot gun would you get ??

    A Burgess, Spencer or Marlin would be my top picks. :) A 93 Winchester would also be in there too. Just be certain to utilize brass shells, so they won't swell when wet. Oh, are you talking about 20th century smokeless powder designs? :confused: ;) :D I thought we were going after Lucky Ned...

    How effective were cap and ball revolvers as carry weapons?

    Black powder never goes bad- everything in it is stable. Even if damp, it will still fire. If it gets wet- it will dry out and still flow just fine. I've used bp rifles on plenty of game, but only about 1/2 dozen or so times I've used BP revolvers on game animals- but they are quite effective...

    S&W lead sled collect-ability?

    I just saw where S&W bought one of ol' man potters field's companies. So, does that mean I can sell off my pink sandbag as collectible? :D

    At a Gun shop just off the end of the earth

    Also likely why the feller is still in a trailer. :confused:

    Model 10 4.2"?

    Couldn't a new, longer barrel above 105mm be fitted and make the gun (under CA law) "legal" instead of surrendering it? Just asking because I'm curious.

    Anybody making any "special" preps for the Verdict?

    Fry some chicken, and an extra bottle of Dickel.

    929 9mm - No Moon Clip Experience

    One other option that you can do, that I did some time ago... Have another cylinder fitted for almost any .357 (J, K or L frame), and have it cut for 9mm. I've had this done and it seems to work well. When I had it done some time ago, it was an act of congress to get two identical cylinders...

    North Carolina elk

    Elk were killed out long ago in the south, as well as bison. That's all I'm going to say. Does anyone know if the old wives tale about how people in WV could legally shoot elk that wander over from KY?

    Generator Readiness

    Propane is the only way to go on a generator. It never goes bad, and you don't have to worry about gas again. Best advice I can give is even if you use gas with an additive- keep an extra carb on the shelf- never know when you might need it.

    Cast iron stove

    The only think I know *for certain* about iron stoves are... They are hard to tote up steep grades. At least, that's what John Wayne said. ;)

    Seriously, What is Wrong With The Tyler T Grip Co?

    The Wondersight also comes to mind. ;) I'm certainly glad I ordered 100 T-grips last time. :D
