    Gun Graffiti - how to handle?

    i would just leave it. If it ever walks off its one hell of an identifying mark. Shooters are shooters, They all have scars that's why you can carry it without really babying it. What every you decide have fun with it, remember it's still nicer than a Tupperware gun.

    model 65,66.13.19 or 60 for conceal carry?

    I think it comes down to shootabilty versus concelabilty. I shoot k frames better than j frames. I'm a big guy so a 2.5 k hides really well. I also carry a airweight during the summer but really think of it as second choice compared to my 66. I just don't like the airweight as much because I...

    I am forming a GREEN and RED Club Sign up here.

    Red Green club I think i qualify as a "red green" reloader, if it works, it will work better with duck tape. When you have to cobble it together use the name brand tape, it pays for itself in the end. Back to the op question. I don't seem to have much of a preference on brands I just use what...

    Anyone ever loose a Gun

    I lost a beater mod 15 for about a year when I was in college. I tore through my safe, my whole apartment, and my truck and finally gave it up as stolen. Had a bunch of buddy's in my Bronco one night and lo and behold one if them is digging around in one of the backseat armrests that lift up to...

    Closet "utility" rifles...

    H&R handi rifles in 223 45-70 and 30-30 are stashed around my house. They shoot well and address any problem I might face. They are light and compact and when they are 240$ brand new I don't mind leaving them outside the safe. The dirty thirty gets the nod for Swiss army gun do any thing carry...

    Why is fourty five Long Colt so expensive and hard to find??

    Take look at this, it's a lee slow pro as my Dillon owning friends call it, Lee Pro 1000 Progressive Press Kit 45 Colt (Long Colt) I have two of these on my bench and really like them. They are really slow compared to a Dillon press and take a little bit of tinkering but they do about a 1000...

    Lanyards on revolvers -- what good are they?

    Lanyards are life savers in boats and on horse back. It's a real simple choice, 10 buck worth of lanyard or 800 buck worth of 629 at the bottom or the river or in the tall grass. They started to look like a really good idea after I had a colt turn inside out and drop me in the middle of a low...

    When does it stop?

    . Yep, all those work. i have used every one of those lines and snuck guns into my own house. I even carry the nastiest pistol rug and rifle case you have ever seen in my truck so my wife is used to seeing it lay around. Dont they say that addicts go to great lengths to hide their...

    Odd place to buy a 66

    I forgot to mention why it was odd. I work in the meat industry mostly in small locker plants. The initial conversation happened over a dead hog on the kill floor. Sorry fellas I got in a little to big of a hurry to show off the new toy and forgot to mention that in the original post.

    Odd place to buy a 66

    Ok so I'm standing at work passing time on my phone during a brake and one of the other employees asked me what I was looking for on gunbroker. I told him I was bidding on a 2" model 15. He says he has a 357 snub nose he wants to sell if I was interested. I told him if it's a smith I am always...

    When does it stop?

    It never really stops. The nature of this virus is such that by the the time you die you have infected children, family members and friends to the extent that your collection is cherry picked before it's sold to the unwashed masses and the life cycle of the smith hoarding begins anew. My wife...

    Official Police contact- What do you say?

    Kansas is a duty to inform state. License and cc permit go out the window together with the standard statement with my hands on the wheel. Always get something close to "don't make any move towards it" and we go along our merry way, no problems. There is no reason in the world to be rude to a...

    Making a leather knife sheath?

    Weaver leather sells everthing you need. They sell shoulder bends fairly cheaply and having some extra leather around just means you need to find more things that need sheaths. You could get away with using 6 oz leather and have a nice heavy sheath when you get done. To get started a stich awl...

    Rechambering to 9mm Largo

    i would trade the beater in for an original in largo in much better shape. Not as much fun but I've always seen the largos sell at a pretty steap dicount compared to the 9mm para. You want the star that no one wants but the largo is a neat round if you reload. I don't know enough to weigh in on...

    ouch. Ouch. OUCH!!!!!

    At 3350$ for the walnut and color case im gonna have to pass for now. But when the dinosaurs get loose or the buffalo decide to stage a hostile retaking of the Great Plains, I'll put my order in and hold them off with my 444 and 45-70 till it gets delivered. I don't own a 500 in one of the...

    ouch. Ouch. OUCH!!!!!

    H & R made a handi rifle chambered in 500 for a while on their rifle frame but I think it's to high pressure for the marlin 94. So if your interested they are around. But the fact that the 500 would make a GREAT carbine round was my initial impression as well. The fact that smith build a pistol...

    ouch. Ouch. OUCH!!!!!

    If it burns powder I'll shoot it at least once but the backpacker 500 I shot was more than enough fun for me. Two rounds and I opened the cylinder and handed it back. Made my Keith loaded 44 s feel like wad cutter cupcake loads.

    Lanyard rings

    I lucked into finding some lanyard rings that replace the grip screw in a mono grip. They are just about as handy as a pocket on a shirt. The first time you experience a "flying dismount" from a green broke horse or dump over a canoe in deep water you understand why some people feel they need a...
