What is the cause of so many scam alerts in the want to buy section? What is the matter with folks, this is a very hi-class forum. We thank the moderators for doing a great job. Jeff

On halloween day 10/31/64 I soloed a 1946 Luscombe 8 A N1455K. I was 24 years old and achieved something I had dreamed about since I was big enough to look up at airplanes going by. I can tell you when you look over at the right seat and there is no instructor, you realize its all on you, your...

We get cattle magazines and in our Sep. issue the passing of a great large animal vet, cowboy poet and storyteller died on June 10 2022. It did not state his age but noted he was born before the end of WW 2. so I would guess he was close to 78. I have been to one of his shows and read his books...

In the September issue of the American Rifleman is the story of Federal and the man who drove it into the fine company it is today. It is a great read. In the mid-50's when I was in school and did not have much money I used to buy American Eagle 12 gauge shells by the piece I could get a...

Back in 1981or 82 I bought two ******* big game holsters for my 57 and 29's one for a 6" and one for a 8 3/8 barrels what I would like to know was when did Galco buy them out? I liked them so well that I sold a Lawman Leather Dirty Harry holster that took me about 2 months to get, they seem to...

If you got the new American Rifleman and noticed the new SA 35 on the cover and thought like I did WOW msrp price 699! I found one on Guns America the price was 1299!!! I don't believe I will be getting one I'm way to old. Jeff

Anybody on the forum tried to buy a 2021 Morgan silver dollar from the U S Mint? I tried tonite at 6 PM could not get through, they are a little steep at 85.00 but I guess all the ammo buyers have moved on to the silver dollars, I had them email me if some more turn up. Jeff

If you have not been watching prices and ammo it would be great time to get componets. I mean powder I know its high but the way things can turn on a dime it better to get it while you can and also get a few molds for the stuff you shoot and if you can find them wheel weights as linotype I...

I was checking on the web last nite and a company had a brick of Remington Thunderbolt 22's for 179.00! This will need shipping and sales tax! I think we have reached the point that printers got to a few years ago where the ink cost more than the printer did, I guess maybe if you buy enough ammo...

I just got off of gun broker I was looking at componets, what has happened to primers, powder and every thing else! Why is every thing so high, I started buying every thing in 1993 as I knew every thing connected with guns would go out of sight. Even then you could buy ammo and reloading stuff...

We were at the bank yesterday doing some business and a loan officer I know said come back I want to show you something, went back and he pulled out a M&P 9mm with a laser sight unloaded it and handed it to me. First one I had ever had a hold of. He turned the laser on and it lined up with the...

Yesterday I got an envelope about filing on the Remington fiasco, two pages and did I want to put a claim in? I bought a used 700 BDL in 1976 and I had them replace the trigger about about three years ago. They fixed it very well and quickly, no problems. I think this is just a bunch of trial...

I was looking through my old Hebard catalogs to find out how much a S&W 4506-1 cost and I came across the S&W combat grips, they retailed for 40.50 and my cost was 29.50 with no shipping. I liked them and bought about four pairs, with what they are asking for them now I wish I had bought a lot...

How many of the forum members clicked on this stupid picture that shows a bug eyed austin healy sprite thinking you will see it in the twenty cars? Quess what there are 30 cars in it and not one is the bug eye sprite. I went through all 30 thinking the next one would be the A H this may seem...

I was working in the hay today and I had the radio on in the tractor. I listen to the BBN (bible broadcasting network) and they some times tell a joke and the one today was worth passing on. It seems there were two fellows in a large pasture with a large angry bull in it and he starts after...

Back in 70-73 I was flying for the Razorback squadron of the Civil Air Patrol flying a Cessna 140 and flying cadets and a sometimes search for a missing or downed aircraft. Most of the searches were for aircraft coming north into our country from Tx or La most were businessmen or doctors or...

I don't know if any one has posted this but a JUDGE in California threw out the new law that made ammo purchasers had to be checked out and O Kayed before getting any ammo in Calif. We need a lot more common sense judges like him and a lot less dufus politicans. Jeff

I use "duck duck go" to search for things on the web and I thought I would look for a machine pistol that a friend sold plans for back in 1982. I typed in Holmes MP 82 machine pistol and the first thing that came up was the one I advertised for sale on this forum. This has been sold for at least...
