This appears to be a 1983 and its in pretty good shape for its age.

This group is run by the Dorr brothers - who don't care about anything but grifting from gun owners.

The whole point of the safety is to prevent an unintentional discharge. So long as the safety is engaged, your should be okay. Of course there is always a chance that something untoward could happen, but you should be fine. Take a look at the design of your particular gun to see how the safety works. That could help set your mind at ease.

Great looking knifes there, congrats on the buys. Also GT sales go so fast, make my head spin, shows just how well his name is with making knifes, congrats.

Guess they should have fact checked with my grandmother. Lol

Lots of noise going on out there, but I was curious if everybody seems to have settled down regarding accidental discharges and drop safety of the P320. My friend is selling me one at a very good deal, but before I take it I wanted to check. I’ve never owned a Sig before.

I stumbled across this and although I am not an SKS aficionado I do know there are some here. This IS the most comprehensive gathering of pictures the SKS that I have ever seen.   Here is a detailed listing of what is on each of the 46 webpages of information. http://www.yooperj.com/SKS.htm   And here is page 1. http://www.yooperj.com/SKS-1.htm

I was checking my State Representatives and just now discovered that, as of last November, I'm now in a completely different State House district. Where I was in District 97, I'm now in District 88. They moved the line less than 1/2 a mile and this is what happened. What's more, my State Representative is a Democrat! The new district starts in downtown Memphis, runs north through Frayser, east through Raleigh and eventually drops south into Bartlett where it just does include my house. I mean I can almost throw a rock into my old district from my house. 3 Blocks! They moved the line 3 blocks! Who the Hell designed this thing? It wanders all over the place. Not only is my Rep a Democrat, but the way this thing is laid out, the vast majority of the district is too. No way this guy is going anywhere. I guess I shoulda paid better attention when they redrew the districts last year. Not that it woulda done any good. I didn't have any say in it. Funny thing is, the guy I've been e-mailing and griping so hard at for the last year ain't even my Rep anymore. Oh well, he had it coming. I guess now I need to introduce myself to the new guy.

$900 and I will throw in 100 12g shells of mixed buckshot, slugs, and target loads.

The Dorr brothers steal from gun-rights believers and from pro-life groups. They're vermin. Do a search for their names and you'll be disgusted. Whisper

In general shotguns are not drop safe. There is no sear block. That is why they are carried in car or stored cruiser ready.

There are two camps on the Sig P320. The first is that all the unintended discharges are human error. The second camp is that the pistol can fire without human interaction. Do be aware that if someone has a Sig P320 that does go off without human interaction and property damage is the result or a person is harmed, you will be sued if you 'knew' of the potential of the possibility of a discharge without human interaction. If someone is injured or dies, a prosecutor could seek an indictment for reckless endangerment or if death results, reckless homicide. Is that a chance you're willing to take? As the situation has not been resolved for certain in either case, I personally wouldn't own one. There are plenty of pistols available without the cloud hanging over the P320 at this time. As an aside, do you want to buy a gun without complete confidence in that firearm? Sig makes good guns. This one may be the exception so why take a chance?

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!

Goes great in fried corn add some green pepper and tomatoes. And some cornbread you have my attention

Me too, as I use it to fry hash browns. It gives great flavor to them.

Here's a few pictures of a Winchester 1886 45-90 I had in my collection.

I’m gonna have to call BS on the “no one saves bacon grease”

I definitely have some birds I haven't seen before, probably the ones from Illinois on their way south. I don't expect to have them much longer.

I have a feeling this is more about keeping democrats in the area combined into one district. It is Republicans redrawing the lines.

We are at war folks. Many just won't admit it.

You want me to dig through all my junk!! Moved to and from Virginia and a temporary rental in Lenoir City till my house was completed and then moved here to my home in Ten Mile. Ok I’m going in!!! If I don’t make it back don’t let my wife sell my stuff for what I told her they cost!

Bacon grease is the WD-40 of great cooks.

As is well documented, I like lever guns. I parted ways with one recently (Thanks @Rob112o) in anticipation of buying a Marlin in 44-70 or another old Winchester SRC. However, I was checking local haunts for odd ammo and such and one of them had a used Marlin Golden 39a for sale. While I was not looking to buy a 39a, it was definitely on the “list”. This poor rifle was filthy. The bore looked good, so I think the PO must have cleaned it at times, but the action was filthy, as were all the nooks and crannies. Also, it had obviously been left too close to a campfire as side of the stock was charred and the butt plate was missing (it had an old ratty butt pad covering it. The rifle had a period correct Weaver V-22 rimfire scope as well. Unfortunately, the eyepiece was broken I looked it over and talked to the counter guy. It was listed at $600 but he offered to let it go at $500. I was going to wait because of some GB auctions I was bidding on, but when I checked them, I had been out bid. Fate was telling me to buy it. I figured that would have to drop another $150+ on a replacement factory stock, but the price was good. I wish I had taken before photos of how grungy the entire rifle was. I took it apart completely and cleaned up the metal parts with denatured alcohol. The stock and forend were cleaned up with denatured alcohol and acetone using 0000 steel wool to remove the grunge and old finish. The stock had been lacquered at some point and took more work. Since I was initially planning on replacing it, I was more aggressive and used some 150 and 400 grit sandpaper. I was able to remove the finish and the loose burnt wood until I got down to decent “charred” wood. Once done, I went back with several applications of Danish Oil. I think it turned out pretty nice. I actually like the look of the charred areas. I have a “new” butt plate on the way. Once I get it installed, I will see how much modification it will need to match new contour of the end of the stock. I can always replace the stock if I want to, but I like that I have saved the original stock as best as I can. Still on the hunt for a 45-70.
