    Civil unrest predicted by Gerald Celente

    I think(and hope) there will be a middle class uprising at the polls next fall over all the spending. I feel the cumulative damage of all the debt(government and private) will usher in inflation and lead to a lower standard of living. I forsee long term decline as a more likely scenario than...

    Civil unrest predicted by Gerald Celente

    When the ice storm hit here last Jan, the power was gone for 3+ weeks. Forget the bread and milk...water/cash/fuel are the items you don't want to be without to survive a short to medium term dislocation.

    Mod 34 Born on Date?

    Just added an unfired Mod 34 to my cache. 4" barrel with adjustable sights. SN 387xx. I have been searching for one of these since last year. I know I overpaid at $650, but I am still delighted. Help on the build date would be appreciated.

    School Zones

    How do you legally transport a firearm, concealed or otherwise, and not end up in violation of the law? Some of of the rural highways I travel leave no alternative to get from point a to b without passing a school.

    Yard Sale Find This weekend, (motor bike)

    I had a 1973 vintage 2 cycle. Great running bike, the only trouble I had was an occasional fouled plug from the oil injection system when going down long downgrades.

    Price of Revolvers and Ammo

    I walked past a counter last week that had a Model 637 that I would swear was marked $649 on the price tag. It was hand written and kinda turned away, so I thought "surely not". I bought a 686 at the same store the last week of December 2008 for $584 and they had the 686's now priced at $649. If...

    Primer Question

    Thanks for all the quick responses. I know they wouldn't make several types if there weren't applications for each. Sounds to me like the small pistol primer is what I want to start with.

    Primer Question

    The current ammo shortage and political climate has me interested in reloading for my 357's(Mod 60/686/ and a Puma lever gun). I have read that reloading components, especially primers, are also getting a little hard to find. I have been "making the rounds" to various gunshops trying to build a...

    How to cook ribs?

    Put them on a hot grill and get the outside seared, then turn down the heat and baste on several layers of your favorite sauce. Keep turning and basting as the sauce carmelizes. Mighty fine eatin'.

    Expensive Ammo

    Whilst vainly searching for .357 Ammo; I stopped by Uncle Lee's. They did have some .357 Remington 158 grn JSP's for $42.99 that I left on the shelf. I did pick up some PMC Bronze .38 Special 132 grn FMJ target ammo for $15.99 a box. Not too bad in todays market. The expensive part was that...

    617 sights

    I find that I need my reading glasses to focus the 617 in less than ideal lighting/background. The Red/White of the 686 is a little easier, but still comes into sharper focus for me with the glasses. Took me a while to figure out why some days my groups would almost touch and the next time be...

    Red Oak Lumber pricing.."HOW MUCH...?!?!"

    KD #1c Red Oak is selling for .70 bf in trailer load quantities, if you can find any buyers. Thats its lowest price in about 15 years, it was double that before the housing bust started about 18 months ago.

    Hi-Standard Sport king found a new home !

    I had one of those with 4" and 6" in barrels when I was in high school. Traded a Colt New Frontier .22 in a walnut presentation case for it. First time I fired it, I learned where the right thumb was not supposed to be. Looking at my latest 401k statement, I guess I am not any better at trading...
