Good suggestions here but I don't think it is a ground water issue. I measured for rain gutters last week and will install them this week. This problem is in the back corner of my house where two parts of the roof meet at a valley producing a lot of rain run off. My concern is what to coat the...

I have a hairline crack at the top of my poured concrete foundation that runs about 30" down from the top and is below grade about a foot. It is too thin to inject crack sealer but still leaks water into the basement. Any suggestions on a coating to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated...

Age alone should not be the problem, at least as far as powder goes. I am currently loading some rifle powder given to me by a high school shooting buddy that is at least 35 yrs old and it works fine.

I watch boxing with a passion, no interest in anything else.

You guys that are drilling holes in these guns are giving me acid indigestion.

Width in the order you listed them from narrow to wide. Combat is smooth others are serrated.

I don't know what they are but a coarse weave like that should clean better as long as they don't fall apart.

It is possible to "rust blue" a gun at home and get a real bluing job. It's easy to find instructions on the web for this process. The final project will result in a satin type finish but I would practice on some junk steel before attempting it a firearm.

One problem, Boobytrappers get sued first then go to prison, funny how that works.

You will like that gun I certainly like mine. For big game I would use a 215 gr hard cast SWC for good penetration but others may disagree. If you plan on shooting a lot hand loading the 41 is a big advantage.

Like 22 ammunition there is a limit to what people will pay. A buyer that pays 1800.00 or more for a 27-2 with a 3.5" barrel may never see that gun turn a profit for a very long time.

Not sure about that, could depend on the state you live in. A few years back a stolen gun used in a homicide in Mass traced back to a women it was stolen from. Authorities considered charging her with something, don't remember what. I don't recall the outcome.

Conclusions are drawn before investigations are complete, typical.

I think the model 14's are still under priced a bit and now is the time to buy one. With model 17's bringing 700.00 to 800.00 it's only a matter of time before the K38 takes a jump in price.

You can pick up an accurate chrony for about 100 bucks which is a necessary tool for the hand loader. Velocity readings from a sling shot to the 220 Swift, gotta have it.
