I bought a .40 flintlock from TVM. All the other muzzle loaders I have were built by me. 2 .54 Hawkins One a flintlock the other percussion. I use to shoot both those rifle a lot until I bought the .40 and something weird happened. I started shooting the .40 all the time. I even started shooting it ...

Boy that is a sweet looking rifle u have there. A super find!

BILLYDIXON

Hey thanks. I bought my first 94 30/30. I first saw it when I was young lad in the 60's. I saw many in my travels. Said I'd get the next one. So finally I found one a commerative Buffalo Bill 20". That will give me 8 lever action rifles I have now.

BILLYDIXON

That sure is a beautiful rifle. I really like the nose cap. I have a TVM .40 caliber 42" and it's a flat shooting rifle.

That's a great rifle you got there. I had one in a 30" HB. It was fun to shoot. I use to drop the bullet in and put loose 2FG in the chamber. Put a cap on it and it was stiff but extremely accurate. I even shot mini's in it. I also had a carbine. The rifle would shoot 3 in one hole at 100 yards...

I used it in 12 gauge for years. I would buy a 12lb caddie every six months. It's a great powder. It is dirty yes. I've got 2 700X empty powder cans that are full of dead or used primers. I don't no how many r in there. But one day I might sit down and count them. I stopped shooting skeet 15 years a...

I was working in a BMW motorcycle shop in Maryland in 02-03. There was a older looking guy that just road in on a K bike. (Sport bike) I started talking to him and he told me he was doing the four corners ride. I said are you a WWII vet. He said, I was with the Carriers and we sailed on Saturday mor...

I became a Benefactor 20 years ago. The NRA has compromisedin the past. I became a Life member of the GOA because they don't. Another reason I joined was because Janes books called it a terrorist org.

BILLYDIXON

I got mine for $150 in 1976. Back then u had to have atleast a police officer to help u sign up. My uncle was a DC police detective.

BILLYDIXON

If your going to sell ur fal u could buy both. If it's a Belgian fal there worth about $4500. I've had one for 30 years. The ammo is expensive why don't u load. I've been loading since 1976. I have a lot of lever actions a 86, 76, 73, 92 and one of my favorite a 95 carbine in 30/40. Im not putting y...

It was so nice to hear about motorcycle gear. I use to sell motorcycle gear for about ten years. I use to use the cheap gear also. I never got wet. I rode a 87 Honda VFR700. I usually would have to have a tank bag that would carry everything. I also rode a 2002 Kawaski Concours that had a ton of sto...

I've tried to get 5744. But it's impossible. Is there another powder that's similar. I usually drive 3 hours to get my powder and other components.
Thanks

BILLYDIXON

Thanks for the info. At my old club I don't think anyone reloaded there. One time I found 100 rds of once fired .45/70's another time found 20 rds of 375 H&H. my range bag was always heavier leaving. I ended up with 10 5 gallon buckets of brass in a few years. I just don't understand it. I've be...

BILLYDIXON

A buddy of mine was at the range a few days ago and picked up about 50 rounds of brass that r 44/40's. He knows I load that round so he brought them to me. The head stamp is one I've never seen before. I would like to know who made them it says IMPACT below that at 9:00 there's a 3. The other side a...

Good luck Victor on your surgery and a fast recovery. I also am going to have a right knee replacement June 3rd.

I bought one in 1976 for about $300. The guy I bought it from had a scope on it that was the first thing I took off. I wanted a Sharps but I'm glad I bought it. I shot some really hot hand loads thru it. That rifle was so accurate I wish I hadn't sold it. The rifle shot jkt and lead bullets and neve...

I remember when Clint Walker came on the Johhny Carson show and he told the story and brought along the ski pole he landed on. It looked like who ever landed on it wouldn't make it. But it was nice to hear his voice talking about the incident.

BILLYDIXON

I also have a copy of Hell I was there. I also have Sixguns read it so much that the pages r almost falling out. But my favorite book is Keith An Autobiography. I paid $10.00 for it in 1976.

I've had a 92 Beretta since the late 80's. I traded another pistol for it. I put a pair of wrap round pack grips on it. I had a gunshop back then and we got a ton of Egyptian 9mm and laupau 9mm. Those rounds had the hardest primers. The Glocks couldn't fire one round. The Sigs 226 would have a misfi...

I went to high school in a suburb of Denver, Colo. In the early 70's. I was able to buy a 62 vette with both tops for $1100. My best friend wanted a 55-57 Chevy we looked for months and found a 55 Chevy 2 door 265 with a powerglide tranny with out the posts for $95. It had the usual rust on top of t...

I use to use a paper clip but found out later on .303 British that I would miss some. So now I use a small flashlight. I haven't missed one since. Just my .02.

I cleaned my seating and crimping die and it still wouldn't crimp. So I ordered the lee tapered crimp die and it worked great. I liked it better than the RCBS crimper. I forgot to mention I found a bag of Sierra bullets 180 JHP with a price of $8.99/100. I'm not to sure when I bought em.

BILLYDIXON

I use to put electrical tape on my recoil pads. It was a lot easier to do that than replacing a original pad. Shooting International Skeet, Sporting Clays or hunting.

BILLYDIXON

Hey thanks I just turned 60. Can't believe I'm that old. My mom says I still act like a teenager.

I couldn't see clearly on the price sheet for a Colt SAA. I searched for one in Colorado in 1975. It seemed every gun shop had .357. I wanted a .45LC. I was in a shop in Colorado Springs on a sat about 20 till 5 and there it was it was a 5 1/2 blue for $300. I didn't care I had $20 and put it on hol...

I was loading on my rock chucker about 35 years ago and got my finger caught between a case and the decapping die. I didn't push the case thru my finger but the decapping pin went thru my finger on one side and the case on the other side. I felt a crushing of my finger. I was a little sick after, we...

Those pictures bring back a lot of memories. I grew up in Lubbock. I spent about 15 yrs there on and off. And yes it's flatter than a cow turd. Lubbock that is.

I bought the Lyman power trimmer when they first came out. Still have it. I've probably saved my hand and wrist from falling off. After trimming 200 cases at a time I could barely use my hand. So yes buy it.

BILLYDIXON

Pre Obama #2 last sept. 8 lbs $100.00 for 2400, unique and bulseye a little cheaper. I also found out that if you have just a C&R license some distributors will sell to you check it out.

BILLYDIXON

Took a closer look and it looks like smokeless. It was also spelled Staynless. I've got pictures but only on my phone. Don't know how to put them online. I can text you with them.

BILLYDIXON

I'm sorry no pics. All I have is my phone and I'm on a iPOD. The box says stainless steel primers. I will try to take pictures and send them along with my phone.

BILLYDIXON

I've come across a box of 50/110 with stainless steel primers sealed box. Would like to know
What it's worth. Thanks

I wish I didn't sell it. But I wanted a Sharps 74 which I obtained in 79 in .50/90. So I would like to ...

I had to retire on disability at age 57. My cobra lasted 18 months. I have to wait 2 years to get Medicare. I'm paying $964/month w/a $5500 deductible after that its all free. But staying in the hospital it can add up real fast.
