My dad once told me, “Lend a friend $20 and you own him, lend a friend $20,000 and he owns you.” Point being, you can hold the $20 over his head. While upset him, good luck getting the $20k. In this reverse case, I think “Two Large” solid are owed in return.

As always plenty of learning for me. I'm in the process of getting a Marlin 1894 in .44 mag. Started the 10 day count down. So my current thinking is use the factory ammo for my 629, and use the reload for the Marlin. And take temp reading with my high quality Harbor Freight digital...

Bought a pound of Lil-Gun, after seeing load date for .44 mag at the shop. Got home to read reviews, and all this talk about flame cutting has me rethinking using this powder for reloads intended for my 629. So, use it as I intended, or limit (.44 mag) for lever action rifle use only, or give...

IMHO, BSing with the guys at my local shops, it is about collecting taxes. Cooling off period, back ground check, or whatever, it still $25 income to the state. How much time does it take to check I'm legal? Say 15 minutes, that would be $100 an hour for a clerk to enter and read a screen and...

Am I incorrect in my belief that shooting leaves a corrosive residue that would ultimately ruin a barrel? Living by the ocean, I know proper storage is important. My Craftsman wrenches have rust just sitting in a tool chest. Some how I believe that storage of a fired gun was like leaving the...

The value of your fulfillment? The challenge of spec'ing a nice weapon, integrating parts you got for a deal, and the challenge of the build. Priceless! Two AR-15 are better than one. Maybe it is a Sport with an Eotech sight, and a Home built YHM with a 3-9x40. Nothing like having a choice...

Governor, three guns in one. Can keep it loaded without worry of magazine springs, and maintain cartridge OAL when loading and unloading. Can shoot skeet when I'm bored, or cowboy action with 45 Colt. Conceal carry size capable. Only wish it was available in California.

Thank CoMF, I'm up early at 0500 to take my daughter to zero period (glee club), rather than go straight to work I'd drop by Walmart. Maybe 3-6 times a month. I would not even buy the max 3 box ( 333 or 225 boxes vs. 500 bricks). Sometimes I'd buy .38, 12 ga., buckshot, or 30-06. My biggest...

I'm a youngster, my high school and college daughters (and wife) won't shoot with me. And for some reason my daughter's boyfriends don't like my guns. So, what I'm hearing is to keep the pile going for my grandchildren. I now have clarity, can not wait for the 4th of July sale, and the 2 hour...

Been stopping by the Walmart a couple mornings a week, and standing in line for the different holiday ammo sales for the last year. So when I decided to spring clean my safes and take inventory, I discover I had over 6k rounds of 22LR. I typically have 1.5k or less on hand but some how I have...

It is fun to read how excited owning a S&W revolver can be. I have a classic 586 6inch and a half lugged 629 6 inch. My prediction is that in no time you'll have both. If nothing more than because you have room in the safe! I vote for the 686 as your first. Remember longer barrels get more...

Just bought 500 rounds of 38 Special, and 250 of .357 Mag. I was not expecting to pay less than .223/5.56 or .45 ACP per round. Then my neighbor gave me 200 rounds of 357. I have seven days until I take it home, a day after I turn 50 years old. I was thinking a custom gun was more...

It is a new classic 586. I intend to use it a while to learn the trigger. Is it bad form to learn to fire a SA handgun with 3 lbs. or less trigger pull? I own Glocks and a 1911, I really don't know how to pull a DA trigger (non-striker).

First time in this Forum. I am transitioning from a Glock blaster, to a shooter who lives in the moment for a single shot. Hence, I wanted a revolver to use as a single action, iron sight, paper puncher. I think I found it in the 6 inch 586, that I will pickup in 10 days. I shot a single...

Wow, I've been away playing with my shot guns. Noticed plenty of Sports at the range and decided to see what's new in the S&W Forum. After checking out this thread, I'll give 50 cents on the dollar to anyone who needs to rid themselves of their *** MP-15 Sport purchase. I may even go as high...

I was introduced to this item at my range over the summer, and found it on Amazon. With Xmas coming it seems to be unavailable. Does anyone know why, or know of a source where to buy it?

Mine is a couple weeks old. I have shot a couple hundred rounds. Mostly CCI bulk lead RH, a hand full of Federal bulk CP hollow point, and about 20 Bulk Remington CP HP. I read that the HP ammo might be a problem with failure to feed, something about the dimple in the magazine that is...

I have had mine almost 2 weeks now. I mounted an inexpensive Barska red dot sight, and have shot couple hundred rounds. My wife is very comfortable shooting it. I hope my daughters will once they can make it to the range. I think the 22A together with my MP-15/22 will not wear them out as...

I have 8 days until I pick up my 22A, I have a BSA PMRS Scope waiting. BSA is inexpensive and good plinking quality. I have a BSA HMRGBD30CP RGB-dot on my MP-15/22 co-witnessed. I may try it on the 22A. I like Burris products and have 3-9x40mm Burris scopes for my MP-15/22 and MP-15 Sport...

Nice set up. I noticed that you referenced your MP 15-22, and saw your other post with pictures. It seem everywhere I look there is an MP 15 owner with a MP 15-22. And yes I too have the pair, though I have the Sport. Did you borrow the Primary Arms M4 from the MP 15-22? I have my -22...
