    .30 Pederson /7.65 French (.30 super carry?)

    First, I want to frame this by saying I like stuff in .32s. But, I've read the hype, and saw the ballistics that Federal is putting out... (probably from a 10" test barrel anyway, which is standard practice) Everything looks and points to this being basically the same cartridge with some...

    FS: M&P pistol sample case, etc. (Oh my!)

    Trying to thin the collection just a wee bit... Please know I am not a commercial venture- just a guy cleaning out his storage of junk. Please be patient, as I got a bit overwhelmed with responses- I'm slow- I have to do one at a time. Thanks for being patient! I'll get to you. :) Terms...

    I have a need for sporks...

    I was just trying to find a nice set of dinner table sporks. I've got some relatives and their little ones coming up for the holidays, and I figured a nice touch (and laugh) would be to set the dinner table setting with some stainless steel sporks. I can find the big salad sporks, plastic...

    S&W lead sled collect-ability?

    I just saw where S&W bought one of ol' man potters field's companies. So, does that mean I can sell off my pink sandbag as collectible? :D

    Junk lawnmowers...

    Rant on... My brother in law, Lord help his soul...just went out and bought a new riding lawnmower this spring. I told him to buy a quality piece. Something fairly good sized with either a Kawaski, Honda, Kohler or Kubota engine on it. About 5' wide or more for his place... He's got enough...

    Henry lever .22 and Erma Werke direct comparison?

    I picked up one of Erma Werke .22 lever actions finally! Been looking for some time- just to have one. If someone already hasn't, I'd love to take it apart and directly compare it to one of the bloomberg-state rifles and see if any changes were done. If someone already has, I'd like...

    4505's...non-laminate wood grips

    As a matter of personal taste, I've never been a big stainless fan...unless highly polished. ;) I had almost forgotten about my 4505. A blue island in a sea of stainless. I jusr wish I could get some highly figured walnut (not laminate) for it. :( Has anyone had good success on any...

    Lester Maddox's snub?

    Just to ask, in the auction of the former Georgia governor's items which I believe was last year, was his snub .38 among the lots of items sold? Am I correct that it was a Colt Cobra or similar? Just looking for some information on it.

    STICKY thread question...

    I just want to ask, What do you prefer? Honey, jelly, freezer jam, maple syrup, sorghum, molasses, corn syrup, or a store brand syrup? I really like honey with the honeycomb all mashed up with butter on a hot biscuit!

    Loading hunting shotshells...

    It seems to me that most shotshell reloaders do it for clay shooting. I just don't see many shotshells being loaded for hunting purposes. I'm getting ready to order some bags of lead #BB, #2 and #4 shot. Still have half a bag of #BB, but down to about a pound of #2, as I've had several...

    With which action feller do you more closely identfy?

    Just a quck pole(cat). :p

    681 green/black birdsong...

    What's the current value/going rate of a 681PC 3" green/black gun?

    Model 69 questions...

    The new models are intreging. I'm think'n about them a lot. :p Since it seems that the new 69 and "66" is a bit redesigned from their old counterparts, and much heavier, as they would have to be to be able to get around the undercut on the bottom of the barrel in the yoke area. Likely from the...

    Oddball calibered guns

    I've always be accused of marching to the beat of a different bagpiper. :p I do like oddball guns, preferably items that most casual shooters haven't heard of always seem to interest me highly. I found a relatively nice, antique 24ga shotgun today, and contemplated it. Why, in most circles...

    Possum Drop is a GO!

    I didn't know that this year they are going to have a real possum, otherwise I'd a went. :D They've had the possum drop in Brasstown (outside Hayesville NC) for several years, but PETA didn't like it and sued, and so they stopped it, citing technicalities in the NC game laws. Seems the great...

    The golden Edwardian Era

    Ah, That was a time when a man was a man and woman was a woman...Prince Albert came in a can and Daniel Webster was a cigar. :p Air conditioning was present in most all cars- because they weren't enclosed. And you could get clips at a store for your new-fangled self-loading Steyr or Mauser...

    Gold Dot PLATED?!?!?!?

    I got to looking at some gold dots in .45 today... I'm going to have to give their customer service a call, as I feel swindled. I always thought they were jacketed, but I was informed they were plated. I know they still perform acceptably, but I feel as though I've been shuck and jived for the...

    What's the obsession with sam walton's place and ammo anyway?

    I'm just asking. Before the craziness, a work'n man couldn't afford to buy ammo from them if he had at least a decent independent retailer or two around him (which I do) that were competitive. I know availability will get back to where it was, as I know folks are running out of Franklins for...

    A "low ball" offer...

    I am just pontificating... :rolleyes: What some people consider a "low ball" offer is just a starting place for another. For instance, some people think offering anything less than 10% less than the asking price of a home is "low balling." Phooey I say. Offer what you will to anyone. Cash...

    Commercial loaders taking most of the componets?

    I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a feller... He stated that the increase in "commercial" reloaders was to blame for the decrease in reloading supplies. I'm not certain that I believe him, but I guess any little bit at this point might be adding to the strain. I just figure...
