Still thinning the heard of guns that are either duplicates or I never shoot. Up for sale is a 1983 Marlin 1894 in 44 mag. I never shoot this one because I usually go for my Marlin 336 in 44 mag. This is not a safe queen. It has had a good life. Still in good shape but has been used as you can tell by the pics. Comes with the sling. $850 firm

Regardless of global and political issues, prices for everything increases at the first of every year. That includes ammo, the components used to make ammo, the blasted cable bill, phone bill, etc., etc. I haven’t bought a single bullet since Covid started… been through too many of these “panics” that I might have overdone it in years past when prices were tolerable.

Still thinning the heard of guns that are either duplicates or I never shoot. Up for sale is a Ruger 10/22 Takedown with threaded barrel. Comes with one mag and case. I think it has less than 100 rounds through it. Comes with everything from when bought new. The only thing it does not have is a cap for the threaded barrel. I can not remember if it comes with one. I don't think it did but I am not positive. $425

I got a Dillon several years ago and I just figured I was supposed to use it. I have ammo cans in the pantry it got so bad. I slowed way down when primers got hard to find. The only problem is carry ammo. I don't carry hand loads in my handgun. I need a few cases of factory loads now. My fighting rifle does have hand loads, but if that comes out and I'm on the bang switch.....we are way past worrying about defending the use of hand loads in a court of law.

Same here. I was actually thinking about selling some, until I remembered it’s an election year. My family and friends will come looking for me around the middle of summer. Same. I did a temporary move a year and a half ago. I’m still trying to determine where to spend my latter years. I have the ammo and safes squared away, but I still haven’t unpacked all of my accessories. They’re overwhelming my workspace off the garage. I don’t even want to look at that pile of tubs and backpacks.

I'll take it

I doubt I’ll ever shoot half of what I have now.

My primary carry for about 30 years now has been a lightly modified 1959 Colt Lightweight Commander in .45acp. Comfort and concealment are a product of a good belt and holster. The flat profile of a 1911 makes it a very easy gun to carry and conceal.

44mag is right there with 45-70 in a lever for me. I can't say no. My name is TripleGGG and I'm a leverholic and I don't care. Hahaha

I’d prefer a gun I’m confident in trusting my life to. Stuff can always be replaced.

I'll take it

Yep. Long as I don’t have to move!

PCR over EMP if you're choosing between the two, IMO. Hard to beat just about any CZ 75 series. One thing of note is that carrying all depends on what you're wearing. Even a compact is going to look like you have a howitzer strapped to your hip if you're not dressed for it. Right now I have Sig P365 xmacro tacops for when I'm wearing a button up. If I'm just in a T-shirt and shorts, I pocket carry an LCP2. I also tend to buy my pants a bit big and wear a belt daily (I carry everywhere). When you first start daily carry, you'll probably feel like everyone is staring at you. Truth is, nobody will be. If anything, they're looking at your face. This is assuming you don't fidget with it. Constantly tugging on your shirt or adjusting your pants. Gotta learn to keep your mitts off. It takes a bit.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I carry everywhere. Being 5-10' and 180 lbs, I carry a Kahr PM9, or a P380 in the summer. I just have this 'thing' about printing. And anything bigger just gets uncomfortable for me. But I also have several IWB holsters that I love and are super comfy. Thats the key. I can forget I have a gun with me at times, my carry guns are that comfortable. Even when hiking or working in the yard. I'm not that concerned about how many rounds I have. I'm not PD, probably not gonna get in a shootout-lol. My 7+1 plus extra mag is enough for me. I also have an EMP. I have carried that when out hiking and I like it a lot. A Sig P938 also. But for a dedicated carry piece I'll take striker fired. Had a PCR and while it shot great it was too bulky for me to carry all the time. Choose what feels best to you, gun AND caliber.

Carrying a 1911 for the most time has gotten to feel heavier the older I get- I started carrying a Sig P365X with a RDS and find myself staying with this more and more- Shoulder and back pain make carrying a smaller lighter firearm a better choice- Round count has never made my choice but zero malfunctions have- It's all a personal choice- I still prefer a Kimber Ultra although in 9mm-

My advice comes from the perspective of a guy that carries everywhere, all the time. If you pick something that’s big or heavy, most likely, you are going to get to a point that you’ll quit carrying, because of the size or weight. The bigger the pistol, the more it tends to print and the more self conscious you’ll be. If it’s heavy and you don’t invest in the right belt and holster combo, then you are not going to want to carry, cause it will pull on your pants and you’ll be uncomfortable and go around tugging on them. Make sure that you’ll be comfortable carrying which ever pistol you pick.

Awesome 9, I’ll never let mine go. GLWS

I own a Cajun custom PCR and 75 Compact. I love both pistols. To me, the 75 Compact has a smoother and faster trigger action when carrying the hammer back, and, of course, the safety on, than the de-cocker action of the PCR. Because of their weight, I find myself picking up my Sig P365 XL more often. Carrying a 1911 might feel bulky to me.

Just to help prevent this for anyone who shoots semi auto pistols. (Especially Stainless Steel models). I ALWAYS use a small dab of this on the slide rails / frame, before heading out to the range. When it come to preventing seizing and galling it's the best stuff obtainable, and works far better than simple oils and greases. There is a very good reason Glock applies it on their frames and slides of every single weapon they ship.

I’ll be sure to document the process on here. Here are some pics of his evaporator. I plan on planting a quarter of an acre and hope to get 8-10 gallons of syrup out of it but have no idea what kind of yield I’ll get.

I've been getting those e-mails too. But remember, ammo companies aren't above using a good scare to sell stuff. I kinda doubt that there will be any kind of major shortage more than what we are already dealing with. I've got a good supply on hand. Really need to load up some of my less common cartridges like .45 Colt. But I have reloading supplies on hand too. Don't know what I'll do when the primers I have are gone.

Title says it. Looking for double barrel shotguns, any gauge. Specifically: Under $400 East Tennessee (I'm in Jefferson City) or willing to ship direct (no ffl needed for long guns in-state via usps) Strong preference for wood. Don't want pristine, scratch-and-dents preferred but MUST function. I have cash for meets, will use PayPal or venmo for shipping with established members. Will also trade new MAC or DeWalt tools. Also looking for a 410 pump, must be wood. What do you have?

@TripleGGG, I think you need a Remington Model 81

I figure if you have to shoot a POS , you’re screwed anyway. They will try to nail you anyway they can, if you’re using hand loads Or factory loads. I may be wrong , but just my way of thinking.

Such good advice from everyone. Thanks everybody!

Welcome aboard!!!

Welcome to TGO

The gun I carried for EDC the longest was a CZ P-01. So, I'm partial to the CZ line-up myself. I actually wanted the PCR with decocker more, but I went with the one I could find in stock at that time. I've been making compromises toward smaller and lighter the past few years. The CZ was the last gun I carried that didn't feel like settling for less.

Howdy

Welcome to a great forum!

There's a dusting on the roof tops and a bit on the grass, but nothing on the roads.

Sent pm...but I couldn't seem to find a way to attach it to message....

Judging simply by what we know of the Windrock range their match will most likely be 30 yards and closer on the stages. That’s the distance we will be focused on . Essentially “pistol distance” .

I have 3 German Shepherd Puppies for sale. These are AKC registered, full blooded, working dog bloodline, pups. We have 3 males. Pups are approximately 10 weeks old and ready for pick-up. They have had their first and second round of shots and wellness checks. They are inside my home with children and being regularly socialized with other people, children and dogs. We have 2 Sable and 1 Bi Color males. Pups have been started with ENS "Super Dog" program. The pups are very capable and will make great family pets and protection dogs with the right training. Options available include: Hold until Christmas House Breaking Initial obedience training Sire comes from German Schutzhund bloodline.(Black/Tan) Dam comes from Czech Schutzhund bloodline (Sable) Asking $1200

Looks like we are down to just 1 pup left. Very good personality. Crate trained and started with basic obedience (leash, sit, down, and no). We have had excellent feedback from all of the pups new owners. Most have reported full house broke within a week. This litter has turned out to be very good bunch of pups.

There are only 5 rules to plumbing - but I’ve added a 6th to my personal rules. If I have to break a piece of pipe to fix something a 1/4 ball valve is going inline. You cannot have too many shutoff valves.

I unfortunately do not have both but I do have an ESEE 4. I do recommend the ESEE 4 and think that it is a great knife. If you went more expensive towards some of the toors, winklers, etc than you may get slightly better but for the money it is great.

Wondering how this turned out?

Put it away and forget about it until you are no longer frustrated. Go back then and look it over real good. I expect you'll figure it out then.

I picked this poor thing up a couple of months ago. Hy Hunter Frontier Six Shooter in .22LR. According to the internet, these were actually made by J.P. Sauer & Sohn in West Germany and imported during the 1960s under the Hy Hunter name in Hollywood. CA. This poor thing was a mess when I got it. The barrel was loose, the firing pin was about to fall out and there was an occasional hitch in the action. Plus the grips were completely wrong for this gun. I really don't know how they managed to stay on. And on top of all that, the finish was very badly worn. But it seemed to have good bones and I only gave $30 for it. This is what I started with: The mechanical issues were fairly easy to fix. I found a set of close grips on the internet, but had to fit them some. The problem was in the finish. As near as I could tell, most of this gun is made of Zamak or a similar alloy. So finish options were limited. I decided to go with Brownell's Alumahyde II. Its a spray on, paint like, finish made specifically for alloy guns. I took the gun completely apart, sanded the parts and sprayed the individual pieces. The instructions said it dries to the touch in 1-2 hours, BUT needs 1-2 weeks to cure completely. Of course I tried to rush it and messed up a piece. I re-did that one and then gave the finish the full two weeks to cure completely. Got it all back together and I think it came out pretty good. I took it to the range today. I fired a little over 100 rounds of 7 different types of ammo. It ain't no tack driver, but its minute of tin can with ammo it likes. Not too shabby for a decrepit old man and those tiny fixed sights. All told, I have right at $80 in it. I think it was worth it.

Yep! Unsupervised men and firearms. A recipe for lightening the wallet if I ever saw one. DO NOT ask how I know this to be true! lol! She looks good though!
