There are already news sources reporting military age men in Russia are leaving the country to avoid possible service in the military. There are Russians and Ukrainians crossing the southern US border into the US seeking asylum. Leaf droplets in Vietnam were during a different time and...

That has already been done.

Show him your S&W collection. He'd love it!

Old-fashioned WWII leaflet drop. Submit leaflet to Ukrainians, cross into Europe, get citizenship in Europe or US. I suspect a large number would elect to stay in Europe where they may feel more "connected".

Santa Fe...in the Governor's mansion.

If I am in violation of any rule delete this post. I have thought this might be a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. What if the United States and the European Nations offered citizenship and $20,000 to any Russian or Russian Satellite soldier, sailor, marine, or airmen who is involved in the...

Hi, I am fortunate to own and shoot all Uberti Smith and Wesson reproduction Top-Break, Model No. 3, large bore revolvers. Therefore I am always looking for leather for them. "Old West" leather. What follows is lengthy. I am not a leather expert, I have learned the following by being cheap...

The best fishing I ever did was as a kid on a small creek in South Texas with a used/battered 12 foot johnboat, home-made trotlines, bricks/rocks/pipe for weights, and seined bait. Oh, the paddles were 1x6's crudely cut into paddle shape because my Dad and I couldn't afford real paddles.

You cannot buy any modern made .357 double action revolver that will made well and as "quality" as that M28-2 for the price you have mentioned. You could possibly find one cheaper but how soon? If you're young enough, and live in an area where many possibilities exist you can be patient. If...

Thank you Goring's S&W. LionWeight, please take the time to check the serial numbers of your early S&Ws against the serial number of when S&W began heat-treating the cylinders. If yours fall below that number they are supposedly only safe with lower powered loads and nothing more. My 1919 M1905...

If I may add. I am not as experienced as some here but I have been lucky. I own a M1905 4th Change with a 5 inch barrel that has no trademark and (from memory) no "Made In USA" either. Research on this forum indicated that during WWI the U.S. government "took over" the S&W factory and oversaw...

I met his 20 something Grandson on a movie set a couple of years back. I heard him say his name was "Skelton" and I knew the crew on the set had Deming natives in it. So I walked up to him and said, kinda serious, "Are you Skeeter Skelton's Grandson?" He said yes. Then I said, "You're...

We met and conducted a face-to-face on my M696. Very fine gentleman, former LEO and US Army. Thanks for the purchase.

I suggest you go to Guns for Sale - Online Gun Auction - Buy Guns at GunBroker.com, register if not already a member (no cost), and search their auctions of firearms "sold". You go to the top search bar and look to the far right, you have to sign in and search. In theory the internet prices...
