My wife has her own guns and does not screw with mine.

I currently own a Marlin 30AW in 30-30, a pre-64 Winchester 30-30, and 3 99 Savages in 250-3000, 300 Savage, and 243 Winchester. You could say I like levers.

If you aren't comfortable carrying a handgun loaded, you either need to trade for a different gun, or don't need to carry.

I believe I'd like one of those. I'll bet you will as well. Are moon clips hard to come by for those?

My father bought a KelTec 380 which he really likes. I borrowed it and shot it some, thinking I might want one. It functioned properly, and I could hit with it, but for some reason I didn't like it at all. I decided to stick with my S&W 642. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Probably not. It does sound like Raoul would however. Thanks for the offer.

You'd think that people who sell guns and ammo for a living would educate themselves on the products they peddle. Sadly, this often isn't the case.

Lever action rifles with tube magazines also require a good crimp as the back of the cases push against the next bullet, seating them deeper into their case. This causes higher pressures due to the lessened case capacity.

The heavy recoil of your revolver will force bullets forward as the revolver recoils backward. Actually, the bullets tend to stay still as the revolver recoils. Enough of this, and the bullet in at least one of the chambers will back out of the case enough to lock the cylinder in place. Also, pistol and revolver bullets are shorter than rifle bullets, which limits the surface area that contacts the case with the bullet. This acts as a friction grip. Without all the friction grip of the rifle bullet, and with the increased recoil of a handgun, a crimp is often needed to keep the bullet in place.

Re adjust the crimp setting on your bullet seating die while being careful not to change the OAL. Then, run all the affected rounds through it. No problems.

So...can you legally use a revolver in muzzleloader season?

Yeah...He makes good quality bullets.

777 works great for me!

...you might even be able to sell them here.

What is the condition of the 94s? If they're regular, run of the mill 30-30s, with no unusual factory features, they will be fairly easy to valuate. I'd guess at 95%, the circa 62 would fetch around $500. The pre war 94 would bring $600-$700 in the same shape. Condition is everything. The 94s are wonderful firearms, but very common and not that interesting. The 92, however, is a different story. You'd need to list barrel length, type of sights, type of stock, checkering, engraving, etc., in addition to the condition to get an idea of it's value. They can be quite expensive. If you could post photos, I'll bet there are several folks here who could give you a good idea.

I don't really know what to tell you. It isn't nearly as overpowering as something like Dale's, so it takes longer for the flavor to penetrate. The original flavor, in my opinion, is a good match for venison. It is also good on a rib eye.

+1 These guys know their stuff, and are pretty nice to talk to.

There;s the Lebanon Locker in Lebanon. Not too terribly far away. They're pretty good folks.

Marinade steaks in Allegro marinade for 6 hours. Grill until medium rare. DO NOT overcook. Enjoy.

Whatta ya got?

I agree.

As others have said, educate your children. Nothing is as interesting once the curiousity is removed. My children have lived in a house full of guns all their lives. I let them shoot, using each opportunity to educate them on firearm safety. You should teach them from a very early age not to touch a firearm UNLESS mommy or daddy is there and letting you. Then you need to be prepared to let them handle your firearms when they ask. This is when you teach safety. A good lesson for young children is to take them out and shoot a watermelon, tomato, or other similar item in front of them. They will be amazed. Explain to them that it will do the same thing to them or their buddies, and that's why you don't touch them unless you are supervised. Children are very open to learning this stuff if you take the time to teach them. You will NEVER hide anything from children. They WILL find it!

While some people are offended by lowball offers, I welcome them. When I'm selling something, I like to gather all the information I can get. With that offer, you don't yet know if your rifle will bring $550, but you're darned sure it will bring $250. Perhaps somwhere in the middle will be your actual selling price. Don't be offended; simply tell him thanks but no thanks. Then, don't be surprised when he makes you a higher offer. He might even keep this up until he makes an offer you like. In my opinion, $550 is high for a 742. I assume it is a 742 because I'm unaware of an 842.

I have a Topper which is a youth model combo in 20 guage and 30-30 Winchester. The 30-30 barrel will shoot an inch group all day long. The trigger isn't the greatest, however. I had a heavy barreled 223, and it didn't shoot that great. It did have a better trigger than the Topper.
