Looking for 10mm brass. Can pay cash or trade .45 ACP small primer brass.

Looking for a single action rifle in large caliber. Something like .500 magnum, 45-70, that sort of thing. Not real particular on caliber, just have an itch for a big bore iron sighted rifle.

Hey sorry I forgot I posted this. Sent PM.

This is accurate. If on one of the WMA you can only shoot one during deer season.

Charter Arms UC Lite .38 Special Cerakote black and brown, more like an FDE than brown though. Recently sent back to Charter for a complete internal overhaul. So it’s basically new inside. I can include a cheap-o holster. $300 obo. In Dickson area, but frequently in Nashville.

I normally carry a 442 once or twice a week. I used to have a 3 inch barrel J frame, but I just didn’t see an advantage to it. For ammo, I carry run of the mill wad cutters. I’ve studied the .38 special loads. And I mean seriously studies them. Most of the bullets are designed for a .357 mag out of a 6 inch barrel. No way a .38 special is going to generate velocities for reliable expansion, regardless of barrel length. There are very few, and I’m mean few, bullets that can expand from a .38 special, the only one I can recall is the Federal HST, which is an oddly loaded and very specific bullet designed for a snub nose .38. So, why wad cutters? Well bullets do to the body what they do on paper. A wad cutter punches a nice clean hole, breaking and cutting tissue and bone, and if they hit bone, they dramatically tumble. Any sort of conical bullet hits tissue and pushes it aside, or glances off bone. If the bullet pushes tissue aside, the the tissue just returns to where it was after the bullet leaves. Think of your paper target, if you see that sort of shot hole, you can actually push the paper back in place, that is exactly what happens to tissue. Most people don’t realize how elastic the human body is. Anyway, long story short, carry wad cutters in your .38 special!

Looking for a Glock 40.

Like new. Only been out of the safe twice, MAYBE had a full box of shells shot through it. Just going with something a little longer. Comes with Velcro loop on the stock for shotgun cards. $200 or for $220 I’ll thrown in an esstac multicam 7 round card, just so you have one.

No judgment on the hunting style. I’ve been cold in the woods plenty of times. This was out of state hunting my father-in-law’s property. It was a meat hunt and a nuisance management hunt. But I did shoot my best buck with the Ruger American on the left (not from the garage window).
-
Yes, it does have rubber inside. I will say, carrying shells brass down, we fired about 150 rounds and didn’t have any shells rattle out.
-
I believe it’s aluminum. And I think it only mounts to one side of the receiver, it it were on the right side then the rounds couldn’t eject.

Bump, price lowered to $20, or for $25 I’ll ship it to you.

Bump. Come on, someone has to have a spare parts bin they want to dig through and make a few bucks. -

I’ll go second in line if it falls through. -

Looking to purchase a few Glock 43 parts. I’m putting together a build kit for my wife’s birthday, not a carry gun just a fun project. Looking for: Factory trigger (I’ve read some of the build kit triggers bind the slide) A magazine - Glock or other brand is fine Sights - factory sights are fine, take off from some one else’s gun are cool, again, just a fun range project Maybe a factory recoil spring? Don’t know if I’ll need that or not, but I’d heard some of the build issues can be resolved with a factory spring. Let me know what you’ve got, again take off and stuff out of your junk drawer are fine. -
So I currently reload for rifle and pistol. My wife has recently gotten into sporting clays and was in total shock and disappointment when I told her I couldn’t reload shot shells. So, looking for a shot shell reloader, and really anything else I may need, wads, shot, maybe hulls and primers. I know 209 primers aren’t as difficult to come by as rifle and pistol primers, so I may be able to pick them up somewhere. In the middle TN area.

I had to chuckle to myself when I broke out an older brick of primers this weekend and saw the $34 price tag.

Looking to sell my almost new scope. It has seen 2 range trips and 1 hunting trip where it wasn’t carried into the field. Maybe had 50 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor shot. This was previously on a target only gun, but I took it hunting this year and realized the minimum of 6 power was much too great for hunting, and I can never see a need for 24 power. Looking to sell this one and purchase a smaller magnification scope. $500for scope. $600 and I’ll throw in the Vortex Precision cantilever mount with 20 MOA cant. The way I had it figured, with the 20 MOA base I had basically 50 MOA of upward travel and could dial the 6.5 out to 1300 yards. Great scope, works fantastic, just need something smaller.

Hey, I remember when .40 S&W was all the rage and everyone thought 9mm was underpowered (which it was, admittedly). With ammo advancement, most have abandoned .40 and moved back to 9mm, favoring reduced recoil, but maybe more so, increased capacity. So, we’ve already seen a caliber shift in favor of capacity, maybe we will see it again.
