Poor Mans Benelli M4? Horrible Clone? or a Smoking Steal?
leroy replied to Magiccarpetrides's topic in Long Guns
Brothers n sisters... Remember this one thing... The CNC machines that produce all these parts are stupendously accurate. If the base materials are as good, there is no substantial difference in any of these scatterguns other than name and price. Take a look at the 1911and AR market... A bajillion parts suppliers and basically there same results... frugal leroy... -
This is a great truth especially for rifles... Thank you for pointing this out. leroy...

I want ta verify one in the chamber. If I purposely leave the chamber empty, I know what to do. Pistols... The complete opposite... Loaded n ready at the git-go. It's the first thing I reach for. leroy...

Who says .45 ACP is not popular anymore?
leroy replied to Quavodus's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
The 45 aint unpopular to the experienced gun hands. It is unpopular to first time gun buyers and casual shooters. There is a " shortage " of 45 ammo because everybody is making 9 mm and 556... leroy... -
Magic.... This made me think.... Smokeless powder is a flammable solid... It won't explode, it will burn. Black Powder is a " low explosive "... It WILL explode. That said, they both will accelerate destruction from a fire... Something ta think about... leroy...

I'm a great PSA cheerleader. The ole boy who founded the business is a disabled vet and a solid 2 A supporter. He has already got a 9mm line up n running... His prices on the 9mm are quite a bit better than the " big " ammo guys. I'ma thinking that he intends to shake the US ammo business up a bit. Here's hopin.... leroy...

Yup... Palmetto State Arms plans to produce it in the near future. They are good guys... leroy...

I'm thinking it is... 12.5 grains of 2400 in the 38 special case with standard primers n a heavy crimp. I remember loading some with 13.5 as well. That one wuz a bit too heavy to suit me. I found the 12.5 load to be powerful n accurate in the big frame vaquero... leroy...

I like the 38 special in most all flavors. I carry an old model Ruger vaquero sheriff stoked with 173 grainers n a heavy charge of 2400 that will develop about 1200 fps out of the 3 3/4 barrel in 38 special cases from time to time. I also like all flavors of " j " frames with full wadcutters at 38 special velocities as well. Used ta carry one quite a bit. leroy...

Where do you buy your reloading supplies?
leroy replied to enfield's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
This is very interesting... When I started reloading back in the mid seventies, a good friend of mine told me to always do business with CCI. He said CCI was the only non large ammo primer manufacturer who actually wanted to sell primers to reloaders. It's now 47 or so years later, and CCI has been absorbed into an ammo holding company. Now primers are almost non existent. The ammo makers don't want to sell primers to reloaders, they want to sell em ammo at confiscatory prices. Our only primer hope is either foreign primers or a new, independent, primer startup operation. I'm hopeful that Palmetto State Arms may help this situation in the long run. leroy... -

A couple of things... " Oil ".... There is plenty... We know where lots of it is... Fracking made the US the largest energy produced in the world until the new regieme took over. " The future of electric vehicles "... Watch the Israelis for new battery technology... About one more iteration will make it right... Watch the European heavy truck industry and users... If they work there, it's finally feasible... Finally.... Don't believe the " we are out of resources hype "... We ain't... Electric vehicles are most likely your kid's future, not yours... All this from an old engineer crumudgeon... About 40 years in the electric power industry... That is all... Predicting leroy...

Folks.... Let me sum this up. The CHICOM BAT FLU IS A US paid for BIOWEAPON, pure and simple. Here's the story. 1. We ( ..the good ole USA.. ) paid for this research for reasons unknown ( ..to most sane folks ..) at least... 2. Some dumbazz or mad man in the Red Chinese Gubt let it out, probably ta kill off old folks in Red China... 3. It migrated to the outside world most likely because the CHICOM political and military class seems to be seriously sensibly challenged ( ..you know China is " The Celestial Kingdom ", everywhere else is just everywhere else ..)... 4. The CHICOMS lied about it to the ordinary citizens of " everywhere else " land... 5. The " everywhere else land " political class jumped on it to cover for the CHICOMS because they were takin money from them; and discovered it had a political use. The " use " , curtailment of individual rights.... 6. They, " the everywhere else land political class" ( ..and their enablers ..), after a couple of years, have been caught... Remember this:. The God-Man said: " There is nothing whispered in the ear in the innermost room that won't be shouted from the rooftops "... It's a universal truth. Thus endeth the soloquey... watchin leroy, the close observer...

The greatest rifle match I ever attended wuz a 1000 yd Black Powder National match at the ORSA Range in Oak Ridge, TN several years ago. The shooting wuz fabulous as we're the rifles n competitors. There is simply nothing greater in all rifledom than a single shot muzzle or breach loading target rifle " KaBoom ". If ya have the inclination ta shoot these great rifles, go for it...I still want a Petersoli Gibbs or a Sharps and I'm almost too old ta shoot em... Admiring leroy...

Built one several years ago. Ammo and reloading component selection is good. Basically the same as the others without the " exotic cache ". leroy.

The MSM and the leftist pimps that drive them on are never gonna shut up or stop their jhad against this republic until their voice is so small it can’t be heard. ANTIFA and BLM are just their thug troops. Some of them got their shadows removed from the earth here. Kyle Rittenhouse made Kenosha, Wisconsin, the USA, and the world a better place by defending himself that sad evenin. That said; a victory for civilization and the people of this republic was won when this verdict was rendered. There are plenty of billionaires and millionaires driving this jhad; not to mention those 60s hippie sons and daughters of Satan in tenured positions in academia. Until we go after them, this ain’t goin away… We are dividing more n more, and the chasm is just gettin wider… Vote n buy more ammo… leroy…
