After I replaced the disconnector, the gun runs great.

Man, are they just throwing away all those chicken’s front legs?

Like in the modified car world, it should be cheaper usually (or should be cheaper usually) to pay less for a modified item, than to buy stock and modify it yourself. Not that it should be cheaper than stock, but you typically never get back what you put in. Then the question comes down to who did the work and I was it done well. Some things, like a simple drop in modified trigger I think would add maybe 80% of the cost of the trigger, to the value of the gun (depending upon how long ago the mod was done). Extensive work still has depreciation. The amount of which depends upon the opinion of the buyer and quality of the workmanship. I enjoy modifying my own guns in the same way I enjoy modifying cars and trucks. Some folks want the mods but don’t enjoy doing it themselves so they either pay to have it done or buy modified. I think the bottom line is unless you are in the business of selling new modified weapons, you will almost always loose a little money selling a modified firearm of what you have in it.

That’s stupid. It should be focused on abolishing the NFA, not the ATF. Get rid of the ATF and we are still bound by the National Firearms Act.

Shot my first dove (and second, third, etc) with a Herrington and Richardson single shot .410. @FUJIMO has it now.

If you haven’t read it, the book from which the title to this podcast gets its name “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” is also a good read. I read it back in high school (many a moon ago)

So did the ATF put anything in this new rule to compensate the citizens who don’t want to own a SBR? Or did they basically rob us all of $$$.

Please don’t give me any other ideas

Whelp, both the ones I was interested in are gone. Darn those lever guns for sidetracking me.

Nice! I think you will enjoy that rifle.

Well, they are both potato products in the same way that Chick Filet nuggets and McNuggets are both chicken products.

Also, you saved a bunch of $$$ over the first crappy bid, still probably saved $$ over the second bid, got a new tool, and a great feeling of accomplishment. Bravo on taking up the challenge.

Just be careful some Good Samaritan doesn’t throw the dirty diaper away for you

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new tool

As a Christmas present to myself,I recently acquired a Sears and Roebuck Ted Williams Model 100 (thanks @chance77. This is a Winchester Model 94, made by Winchester for Sears. It is chambered in .30-30 and is a post ‘63 Model 94 from either the late 60s or early 70s. There are not great records of the serial numbers from these rifles, from what I can tell. The rifle came with a Weaver side plate for a Weaver side mounted scope on the left side of the receiver. Since it was already there, I went ahead and picked up the correct Weaver 1” scope mount and a vintage Armsport 3x9x34mm scope with a Duplex reticle. The side mounted scope is interesting. If I was a righty, I think it would be awkward to use. But being a lefty, it is fairly easy to just press my cheek up and into the stock move my left eye to the scope from the iron sights. I’m looking forward to getting it to my buddies range and sighting in the scope.

Hmm

Think of all those lever guns with attached grenade launchers that are now banned.

looks pretty cool. I assume the pistol was designed for competitive shooting or maybe home defense. I do wonder how well it will work if it was dirty or sandy because of the number of close tolerances between the barrel and slide, and slide and frame.

I will take the ammo if you will sell it separately

Dang it, I spent too much on lever guns recently and a Marlin 336 is next on my list. @Thresholdmma is looking for a good lever gun. This is a good deal.

I bid on a Savage Model 10 in .308 this summer and didn’t win. It ended up going for $499 plus fees, etc. https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/2060/531/savage-model-10-left-handed-bolt-action-rifle-with-box
