I've got one. I bought the complete upper when PSA had them for $399 with 16' barrel, bcg etc. I searched the internet for who recommended what mag, picked up a few C Products, and couldn't be happier. I use 10 rd. magazines for hunting, but I've shot C Product 30 rounders (27) with no problems. I've built a .300 first, but never was really happy with less than .30-30 ballistics. 7.62x39 ain't a big step up from .30/30, but it's a damn site easier than .300 blackout.

I use an old military rig I forgot to turn in. It holds everything from a Colt Scout, to a Sig 220, to a mod 10 S&W with no problem. Not stylish or particularly quick drawish, it holds a firearm securely while on the tractor, bike, or 4 wheeler, and it's way more comfortable than a belt rig.

Ruger Service Six Conversion

If I was going to do it, I'd be worried about his lawyer coming after me IF it did crack the cylinder, forcing cone, spring the frame, etc. etc. etc. -
I had a Sako Alll: Good rifle till it cracked the stock through the wrist. I would load the .375 soft point hornady's made for the Winchester .375 with 4064 for a decent whitetail load. A .375 (.36 muzzle loader) round ball with a little Unique under a bit of cotton ball filler shot very well also.

I used to use wax bullets and an old T shirt hung 10 steps in front of me playing quick draw mcgraw. Melt about .5" of candle wax in a pan and drill the primer pockets out (I used .125" drill bit) of some cases that you mark NOT TO BE USED for any other reloading. I used mag primers (no powder, of course) in .357 and .45LC, pressed the case into the cooled wax, and they shot fairly well.

I had an old Police Positive in .38 s&w, and a New Service .45 and I never really liked the way either one felt. The grip angle was too cramped on the one, and too wide on the other. A S&W K or N model always felt better. This King Cobra/Anaconda/Trooper mk V frame size feels pretty nice, however. And every Colt (revolver) trigger I've shot was just plain sweetness. I'll miss 'em.

Or I could cut the barrel off and use the grip for a doorknob. Both good choices.

I'm working on a Colt King Cobra (V frame mid '80/90s), and found the supply of spare parts for these later Colt revolvers to be getting pretty darned thin. Stuff like latch springs, firing pin springs, etc. are not available from the regular parts houses. Reckon we're seeing the end of an era?

Last night around 8pm the FFL holder calls and says come pick up the pistol, I'm clean as fresh snow. Go figger.

We would have to cast bullets and reload the brass. -
I got denied on an FFL transfer yesterday. I buy a few firearms each year, and my last FFL transfer purchase was in June on an AR receiver from AIM which sailed through with the normal rapidity, and I've not committed neither felony nor misdemeanor since. In any event, this is my first time gong through the appeal process. Anyone else ever had this happen and care to offer any suggestions or advice? I hate being at the mercy of some faceless bureaucracy.

I've got the rossi 92 and it's been a reliable and accurate firearm for over 15 years. I've never owned a marlin .44 mag., but I have owned the .444 and 2 .30/30's. They're fine guns but I never noticed any superiority in workmanship over the rossi. Easier to scope is about the only plus I've noticed.

Troopers using trucks to catch people texting
79troublehead replied to xsubsailor's topic in General Chat
I spend a lot of time on my bike, and to have a squirrel come around a curve on your side of the road with his/her eyes on their crotch is the rush you don't want. Since they're trying to kill me, would deadly force be justified? -
I feel like an Indian watching the white man coming.

Dremel 8220-1/28 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool

Dremel is one of them tools you normally use at a bench or table, with an outlet near by. Do the cord. -
We have invented (or at least stolen) the Redneck Margarita. 12 oz tequila 12 oz beer 12 oz frozen limeade 1 ea. 12oz can Fresca. big pitcher, mucho ice, and a designated driver. After the second one you really can't tell, so we usually use a cheaper tequila. Sam Adams, Calfkiller, etc., adds a nice little bouquet, but after the second one you could use Milwaukee's Best. Bon appetit!

Should be legal to shoot them over your own property. Get TWRA to set daily limits and caliber restrictions. Shotguns only, and I'm thinking #6 shot would give drones above 200 ft. a reasonable survival rate.

Ahhhh,,,,It's more in the nature of a joke Robert. Although I too have been to Baltimore, and it ain't no joke.

The Jewish Quarterback The coach had put together the perfect team for The Baltimore Ravens. The only thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night, while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away. KABOOM! He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney. KABOOM!!! Then he threw another at a passing car going 90mph. BULLS-EYE! "I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect Arm!" So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Ravens go on to win the Super Bowl. The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his Mother. "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!" "I don't want to talk to you, the old woman says." You are not my son!" "I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans." "No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,... "I will never forgive you for making us move to Baltimore!!!!
