Any idea who actually sells these, and for what price?

I would say that if you think that you will need more than five rounds of 12ga., you might want to examine your strategy and/or recruit armed companions. I have watched a couple of fellows try to operate a KSG on the range with poor results. It seems that the KSG is very prone to failures to feed un...

I have been using an Acer C720P Chromebook for about 6 months. I paid just over$200 for it. I use the chromebook for email, internet access, and watching Hickok45 videos on youtube. I also have a Netflix account that costs about $10 per month. The 11" screen is large enough for comfortably watc...

That is a nice looking PPK/S.
I spent a lot of time looking for a nice used PP in 7.65 a few years ago. I finally gave up and bought a PPK in .380 caliber.
A decent used 7.65 was going to cost several hundreds more than a brand-new 380. Go figure...

Bleak indeed.

There seems to be a fair bit of Titegroup available locally, but little else.
The prices are about $30 so there's not much incentive to stock up.

I don't understand - the part you really needed was out of stock, so why place the order?... It was an internet order. The item was shown as "in stock" and the order was confirmed the next day by email. I had been watching the item for several weeks, waiting for it to be shown as "in...

So what did Brownells do wrong, did you want them to ship your $11 spring for free? I wanted them to allow me to cancel the order entirely but that was not allowed because the "order has already been sent to the warehouse for picking." So... somebody couldn't pick up the phone and stop th...

I hate to be a Gloomy Gus, but Remington's quality control has been a bit spotty lately.

I would let someone else test them for a while.

I added a spring kit to my order because it would ship free with the item that I really needed. The item that I really needed was placed on indefinite back order and I get to pay $8 shipping for a $11 spring. The order can't be cancelled because I suck and they hate me. NOW I remember why I haven't ...

I've seen 9mm rimfire shotshells in my travels.
A nice little gun for keeping the critters out of your veggies & fruit trees, but I would expect a good quality air rifle would work as well.

I had a Dillon Square Deal. I sold it a year ago and bought a Lee Classic Cast turret press. The Dillon was a PITA to set up. I really like the Lee for cranking out a couple hundred rounds at a time. I can set up the Lee in just a few minutes and load a couple hundred rounds in the time that it take...

I've thought more than once about making some sort of foot pedal contraption to control the flow of alloy.
It would free one hand and allow the use of a heavier weight or spring to keep the pot from dripping.

Jack

Looks like a handy rig, Roy.
Do you have problems with the Lee pots leaking?
I've been tempted to replace my ancient Lyman with a Lee but for the many complaints of leaks & drips.

I bought one of those sights a while back for use on a revolver. The lock screws came loose during a match. It needs a better system than a teenie jam screw to keep it from moving under recoil. I said that I was going to try to fix it but lost interest. It didn't seem to be faster to pick up than a ...

I've about given up on ever seeing .22 ammo for sale except at stupid prices.
I just bought a 9mm CZ75B. I looks like it will be cheaper to shoot 9mm handloads than .22 for the foreseeable future.

It is interesting to note that many of the gun makers that Cerberus bought have been sucked dry and the money redistributed to top corporate officials and shareholders.
And people wonder why I have a bad attitude.

I will never be able to afford to buy any of Mr.Keith's guns unless I hit the lottery. I did jump on the chance to buy an O3A3 rebuild that bears his inspection stamp, "OGEK" in a box. There was one in slightly better condition with another stamp but I liked the thought that he had inspect...

I would like to have one but the $800-$900 price tag stops me.

The High Point carbines seem to enjoy favorable reviews and are priced at or below $300 locally.

I took up nature photography for a few years. It met my need to forget about work and worries.

I have a Burris Speeddot 135 mounted on my AR. I think that it has a 3moa dot. It suits me out to a couple hundred yards, and I doubt that I would deliberately engage a target beyond that range with a 5.56. The 35mm tube gives a good field of view. The Speeddot 135 has been reliable in all sorts of ...

Well, we had about a half foot of snow at 5am, here in central Massachusetts. At 9:30 am we've added a bit more than another foot.

The pistol stabilizing brace was neither “designed” nor approved to be used as a shoulder stock, and therefore use as a shoulder stock constitutes a “redesign” of the device because a possessor has changed the very function of the item.

There are a number of possibly related issues here and it is probably too early to panic.

Another ATF letter, in...

So Cerberus, who has been trying unsuccessfully to get out of the gun business for political reasons, finds a way to push Remington under the bus while appearing blameless.
This is the same Cerberus that has pretty much gutted Marlin, H&R, and Bushmaster.

Probably just a coincidence.

I have one. It's a hoot to shoot with a cast bullet and a case full of Hodgdons 777 powder.
The sights suck. They are some sort of cheap plastic & won't hold adjustment.
I put a Williams receiver sight and a Lyman #17 front on mine.
It reminds me of the civil war era carbines.

Unless the value of the Colt in unfired condition would raise you from poverty, shoot it and enjoy it. My next door neighbor died last year with a house full of valuable items.

I have the Lyman 321298, a 151 GR Plain Base and 321297, a 181gr Gas Check. These are both flat point bullets and both shoot well in my 32-40 1893 Marlin. The plain base is probably more "vintage" . I've always used light loads in the Marlin so the gas check is probably not doing much. Jack

If you read the fine print, it is a 25 rd magazine that can be refilled quickly.

I would take the upper off the gun.
you have better access to the bolt through the bottom.
Probably enough room to sneak a piece of brass or aluminum bar stock in to tap the bolt carrier to the rear.

good luck.
