I bought a CVA Wolf at Wal Mart a few years back, and have been very happy with it. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_3557.jpg.html][/URL]

I thought they were supposed to. :hiding:

Get one of each, and there's no way you can go wrong! :up:

Sure. I'm not complaining; just stating a fact.   Theoretically, one could save money reloading, but I don't know anyone who has.

I've never saved anything reloading. I just get to shoot more.

The VFW in Lafayette puts one on fairly regularly on Saturday mornings. It is held next to Sunshine Market on Highway 52.

Load your own, and tailor the load to your wants and you're gun's preference. Those will be best, and the least expensive.

I have found that these are words to live by. :up:

I expect it would be worthwhile to speak with representatives from James Julia, Rock Island, and perhaps some other auction houses in order to get top dollar for them. As a general rule, a collection of guns sold together will not realize near the money that they will being sold separately.   In the interest of full disclosure, I buy a collection of guns with the intention of selling the ones I'm not interested in at a profit, and keeping what I am interested in for free.

Right. But in order to gauge interest, some of just want to know how many zeros in the price before we go any further.

I too would like to hear a round about price.

That's a good lookig couple. :shake:

I'm probably going to hurt some feelings here, but I'm going to be honest with you. With a $500-700 budget, you'd be much more pleased with a pump.   It just takes more labor than that price would allow to properly put together a shotgun with two barrels.

So what, exactly, did Cruz accomplish with this lengthy speech?

Thanks for sharing. I like Savages.

A chainsaw file is a round metal file.

Any store with a hardware section will have them. I'm certain Lowe's does. Did you look near the chain saws?   http://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalogDisplay?ipTrail=173.240.135.3&newSearch=true&catalogId=10051&selectedLocalStoreBeanArray=%5Bcom.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%4049324932%5D&storeNumber=0548&Ntt=chainsaw+file&N=0&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2FSearchCatalogDisplay%3FstoreId%3D10151%26langId%3D-1%26catalogId%3D10051%26N%3D0%26newSearch%3Dtrue%26Ntt%3Dchainsaw%2Bfile%23%21&langId=-1&storeId=10151#!

I can't imagine being satisfied with 4" groups from any rifle. :shake: I have a cut down Spanish mauser that'll beat that, and I only have $30 in the gun!

I'm certainly no legal scholar, but I'd feel better about you or your friend carrying a gun while drinking than driving home after drinking.

Cut it out with a chainsaw file. Take your time. File a bit, and check. Repeat.

....and these are the folks educating our children. :shake:

I've fired mine after being loaded for a year, and probably for two-three years with no problem. Sometimes you need to remove the nipple and put a bit of powder in the hole and reinstall the nipple before you can get it to fire.   Unless I suspected he loaded it with smokeless powder, I'd probably shoot it. If I wasn't comfortable with that, I'd pull the bullet. If you don't have a bullet puller, you should buy one assuming you are going to keep the muzzleloader. You'll need it sooner or later.

The price was what surprised me. My wife commented that they must have named the store in honor of the guy working the gun counter.

Looks great. I wish I would have bought a Carl Gustav back when they were cheap and plentiful. They are high quality, accurate rifles.

Sorry, I'm a bit slow at times. :rofl:
