Can't say I have ever bought a firearm because I had the ammo except that I did so when I bought the M-8 Remington. I bought the ammo for a friend, and he wanted to sell the rifle. I ended up with a rifle and the ammo for about $250.00 IIRC. Back about 1988 I could have bought a Win M-70...

EX LEO gets killed because he didn't put down his gun. I wonder if he even heard the order? Yes, he should have known to do so but still, did he hear the order?? Was it shouted one time and then the gunfire started? I think we will never know.

Well done lad. While I'm no fan of those stocks, they fit and work for that piece. If it's for sale............. maybe I might find a use for it. I can always use another wheel gun. Llance

No sir, my father taught me this. Later still, in conversation with an FBI agent at a local copshop, suggested the same. Part of that conversation involved range time and how one should fire practice ammo and before leaving or changing to a different firearm to shoot some standard carry ammo so...

Even worse; I had to pay for it up front. I had worked on it about 12 years ago when I was co-owner of a gun shop. The owner is a fair friend, and he only charged me the cost for a refinished rifle. Yes, I'm going to tell you.......$150.00. Honest to Gawd, thaats all.

I was taught to shoot my carry ammo every time I shoot my carry firearm. In that way it's always fresh. I shoot my EDC once a month.

Brick yards are full of bricks, handmade, sundried bricks are a class act. Glocks are bricks that look like handguns, 3913's are classic firearms that you will be proud to own and show off. Without looking at the Glock I can't tell you the model number of a single one of them, show me a 39(XX)...

For my revolvers 150 yds

Fairly simple task for me to choose. #1. My first rifle, a Marlin Model 57M. I bought it used for $45.00 in "72". It shoots where I point it, so if I do my part, it does what it is supposed too. #2. A badgered together 1911-A1 with an Essex frame, USMC parts and a barrel and bushing fit like...

I don't sell my guns. Give them away, lose them, let someone borrow them, but sell, nope not my style. Added a Remington M-8 chambered for .35 Remington. Won on a drawing ($40.00 out of pocket) a Beretta M-84 .380. Both used, but in good condition.

Shotguncoach; First off words not suitable for Grandma are known in these parts as MAGIC words. They are most usefull when you have smacked your thumb with a hammer, fallen and broken several ribs, taken 10 shots at a groundhog and missed with them all, etc.. Second, were it me I'd take MudHen...

OP: Some people who display such beautifull knives or guns ought to have their hands slapped. :D :D :D

I was introduced to the .41 Remington Magnum when a fellow member of the Coast Guard sold me his Ruger BH chambered in .41 RM because he was not going to be transferred back to Alaska. It took me several years to find a Marlin 1894 carbine to go with it. Then my brother found a customer who was...

If I really really, really, needed a light-weight rifle for a survival situation I'd take my MB M-66 and an ammo box of .22 LR ammo and hit the trail. Lucky for me I don't have that need, yet. I realize it would be difficult to do but still I'm surprised no one has made wood stocks for the...

Four takeaways from this. 1. Dead men tell no lies. 2. Dead men never again commit crimes. 3. Felony murder is a life sentence, 4. He will never again be able to break into some one's home. And most important the home onwer and his wife are safe and uninjured.

Easy question, deserves an easy answer. Model 57, and any Model 19. My hands aren't big enough for a .44 mag but I can handle the .41 mag. As for the Model 19, like what's not to like about a .38-.357 revolver. Give me a choice of 3 and I'd add a K-22.

My J frames are for in my house, indoor protection. Outside and away from home protection is relegated to 1911 style semi-autos. The smallest is .32 auto and the largest is .45 ACP. I do have revolvers for "outside work", but they are for game hunting and are coupled with a carbine or rifle in...

I don't know what percentages of the mixture BillBro uses for his refinish and it really does look expensive, but my mixture is found below. I have used it on cheap scrap wood picked up at a build site, and on some very expensive Walnut, Mahogany, even on some Ebony. The results are usually the...

To my BIL because he needed a short bbl revolver, a M-36. years later when I needed one and he no longer needed his I tried to get it back. He had sold it. A year or so before that I let a 5" M-10 go to another relative. I put a pair of pach's on it because I got it at an auction of guns...
