I just discovered that S&W is sleeving new barrels. The way I found this startling info was through a Ruger ad that said they have all steel barrels. I checked YouTube and found it to be true. I immediately checked my guns and found that I have none. Do all their new guns have this or is it...

I amuse myself quite often with my changes of opinion in matters of gun. I owned a few pythons back in the day, but never cared for them more than Smiths. I had the usual objections, but if a good deal came along, they traded well. I think the main thing I remember from my gunsmithing days...

I certainly hope that is sarcasm, because if it isn't, It seems that the whole object of this thread is that you don't know what is real. Do you know the stuff you aren't forced to watch is real? It's not a matter of being forced to watch it, it's if you watch it is it real?

I just picked up a 19-4, 201/2", round butt revolver from a LGS. I was making my rounds of a few closer stores with a few handguns that I had decided to cull from the heard. One store had nothing new and after a few friendly conversations, I started to leave. As I was going out the door, the...

Nice snag. Now for range day.

I was searching for information about HE 32-20s with no logo.

I usually have a hard time finding past posts on a subject that i'm looking for. I have 2 HE 32-20 (32 WCF ctg) with no S&W logos. One is nichel, and one is blued. They don't seem to have been refinished. When I checked the forum search, I found it in a 2020 thread. So, it does work...

I'm not sure any brand works in S&W 17s and 48s. Please tell me a brand that does work. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to know. Just wondering.

I ran across this vid on You Tube and got a surprisingly nice awakening. I've seen the buying up of all our American ammo producers by Euro corporations that have endangered our supply in anyway they please. This vid makes Winchester seem to be an American hero, and they may very well be.

I'm hearing some good stuff here. I like Seven's discourse on case capacity. I am getting low on my 8#s of unique and have lots of tightgroup. I just remember when all powder disappeared and don't want to get caught short. I had forgotten that H110 was good for magnums. I have plenty of that...

I have been seeing some no HAZMAT fee ads for powder and am considering stocking up if the prices are right. I have a variety of pistol powders on hand, but have never really considered pistol powder to be that important. I'm not into serious marksmanship, and usually just buy what is...

Middle Ga. I was going to post some pictures of some of my finds in the stores, but I am having transferring pics from Iphone to computer. Both have had upgrades that make my current knowledge incompatible with my former. There are a lot out there, but not all are even considerable. I saw a...

Got my 5 th edition today from Amazon. Delivered on sunday. Thanks for the heads up.

That is the subject of this thread. You don't know a deal unless you know a deal when you see it. I want to learn. I have mostly done well over the years on just my intuition and puny knowledge. I need more than puny.
