Bear or a round to find anymore, even the Navy Arms batch they made 20ish years ago is going for radical prices...

It would be interesting to know what the patent is actually for.
The rimfire wasn't even invented until late 1859 (S&W) so it was predominantly percussion while the rimfire grew in size (and low pressures) until around the 1870's. This .54 has to be a rimfire.

I heard he changed his name to Cheeta.

One of my snubbie's in the original box (from 1861

The right side of dirt sounds pretty good however being in my forties that shouldn't be to hard BUT since someone mentioned surgeries I had 7 more fusions, titanium rods, and bolts put in. My left arm works again and I'm not falling down all the time so things are good! I did manage to purchase a ri...

I have two daughters only 2 guns specifically I have destined for them, who knows about the others.... I have two excellent condition Remington ZigZag Derringers from the early 1860's, I had 14 of them at one time when I was doing my research and they are my favorite. They are definitely not shooter...

I think it is the economy... I pretty much only look at pre-1899 pistols but I have seen a a far amount for 2-3K guns that should be 4-5 and a couple in the 5-6 that should be in the 8-9k. If I had the money to buy and wait it out now is the time, my problem is of course what I'm looking at is stuff...

Oh come on, Remington's design is far superior to Colt's.

Where's the Whale Oil results?

I personally think that Davide Pedersoli & C. makes the finest reproductions of period firearms. Their quality is ever bit as good as the USFA guns. Plus they have been doing it for 150 years. I would love to see them make an 86, 92, or 95 Winchester. They currently make a pump action clone of ...

Well - it STILL kicks me off halfway through most posts... :evil: You mean it kicks you off when your writing a post? I think there might be a minimum time post (for some kind of spam protection) but I don't think a max but I'll check. Also what do you mean by kick off, you have to log back in to t...

I don't know if it was actually announced or not but I just upgraded the software if you have a problem scream here.

Gee I thought I was going to see something about cowboy boots

My elephants have finally started cracking, probably 5 or 6 sets of new soles, but they will have their 25th anniversary on my feet in 2 weeks ... Can't afford to replace them, sure am going to miss them!

Good luck, I tried one long ago we have a "different" sort of system here... We have a "civic betterment committee" who don't exactly dictate who gets on the ballet but if your not their candidate all their funds and efforts are targeted to the candidate they endorse and against ...

Fixed, what caused it I have to figure out.

I also don't think the 380 is a bad round but with the size of 9mm's they are making now there is little to no advantage of a 380 vs a 9mm in size of the handgun anymore. There are valid reasons why you might prefer the 380 over the 9mm, but for availability and price of ammo you just can't beat 9mm.

Well it's not a specific handgun, it's a design to handle a double (or triple) stack 22lr magazine. If you can put 20 9mm's in a XPM should be able to get 40-50 rounds w/ 22.

20 cows, You're a Winchester guy, do you think it would be doable to convert my 1873 Winchester rimfire to .22 magnum? Before you guys lynch me, it is not a collectable, it is an original .22 rimfire Winchester 1873 rimfire, but it is in the " needs to be restored condition " I did send y...

Winchester 1873, prefer 22 lr could live with a short, but with condition, condition, condition...

Are you serious? That's anything but good work! It's not amateur work, but definitely entry level work not done to anything that could ever be confused as factory original. The guy is ruining what were some pretty valueable old guns once. Well I wasn't talking about the engraving but I've NEVER see...

Wow hope this isn't breaking the rules or it's bad etiquette but who's doing this guys work, look at all of his auctions. Let the pictures do that talking my butt all these have been redone but I've never seen anyone able to do this kind of rework without leaving signs of buffing or whatever, this t...

Are you a RCA member?

If you see one with "In God we trust" hand stamped on it... Now THAT is a good idea.... :twisted: I couldn't find a place that would make a "gang" stamp I suspected for one it would be a lot of money anyhow so it isn't perfect but I think the point was made :D I also thought if ...

Swarovski scopes are excellent as well. Tasco's have come a long way and are a decent value now, they just used to be (well very bad).

You can buy a $400 Leupold?

The last one I bought was over $1,200 bucks!

Lots of folks Poo-poo the Taurus revolver... I have a M85 titanium thats dandy and gets better with age. Have fun with your new toy! ~J I haven't had a Taurus in my hands for 10+ years but the old ones were very good but need a little more tlc to smooth them a bit. Instead of doing the work I recom...

Very illegal around here as well so you have to be very quite or use "blue" tuna.

The only way this site will let you post you photobucket pics here (easily), is to set the photobucket uploader to upload your pics in the "medium" size (or smaller). If your pics are already in photobucket, you can work on each pic's "edit" feature to resize it/them, and replac...

Just something to think about I haven't drank an alcoholic drink in almost 33 years and when I get a liver test it still shows positive for alcohol. You have to drink a lot of the hard stuff to show up in your liver and for it to still being there my poor liver must have taken a beating once upon a...

That looks awful big for a stop sign at 650 yards... I used to practice with propane torch tanks at 300 yards, need a hollow point for them to explode. My brother goes to me "lets move up close and shoot them with pistols", I said start walking I'll go back and call 911. He got the point :...

There is no FREE that isn't illegal but there are several that are so inexpensive that it's not worth the effort to steal the music. The one that hit the news was all of mp3 they tried to shut it down for selling songs for pennies but they couldn't. In Russia it is completely legal to sell copies of...

Idahoser, You can get a 220 male plug on both ends of a line and plug into any 220 rec you have, turn off the main power switch from the grid then then it will backcharge your whole place and you will have 220 and 110 just remember to only draw 4000 V which means you have to figure out what your ap...

I triedsomething similiar when I was a kid, but I wasn't so smart and put a 30-30 through the side of the hay bailer (grandpas sights weren't right for me) but I did blow up the can of Goex FFFg. Not a 4th goes by without blowing a can of FFFFg, in my neighborhood you only get one of these and they...

Slowly picking up?
There's been a lot of people collecting these for a long time!
Selleck appears to be collecting these now as well...
If that's original finish, I'd take real good care of it...

Not to start a flame, but NOTHING sounds as good as a Taylor...
They do require a lot more care in proper storage etc they are more environmentally sensitive.

Used most is a modified high standard pistol, to many feral cats in the neighborhood.
If you don't care about them neither do I, they join the dead cat pile in the woods club...

There she is, I think the where-about is known with the Model 8 crowd, I've read something not that long ago....

There she is anyhow...

I've also paid per container/box or whatever. I always thought it was a bit silly you can buy ammo and ship it with no fee but you have to for the components.... I also repair gutta purcha (old old grips etc) and one of the chemicals I use I guess is so nasty there's only private companies that will...

My brother and most of my friends are that way (Like little girls playing with a new toy). I will say if it didn't come with the 3.0 upgrade the stupid mail now works sideways, that was a pain. The only thing I added was free compass and voice thing so I can just say call wife without pushing to man...

Did you get the new GS or the now lowered price G?

By the way if you didn't know Aguila (Colibri) is actually Remington made in Mexico...

Hows this..

From my absolutely bias as h... view point, the P239 is a very nice carry piece.

We don't need no stinking safety's!

I wouldn't do anything on Craigs full of scams.
I guess selling isn't so bad if you know the money is there but buying is a nightmare, I don't know anyone who hasn't gotten ripped off including myself

Hoffman? That's only about hour away, that's within shooting range ;) I've never gone to the place but I'm amazed at some of the antiques they put up on gunsinternational, that is at what they are and the condition/quality, the prices however are usually shocking! If prices are going to be depressed...

Here's a good story and it's the truth... In Hanover Park - not terribly far from me, recently in the news for the killings ;) A guy was at a party and got drunk ran out of cigarettes and want to go to the store. Got on a "friends - aka someone at the party anyhow" motorcycle and took off ...

On both sides of the counter unfortunately...

I had to argue with a girl that she was giving me to much money back. I know the register doesn't lie about change due, but the 100 plus 2 ones isn't 111.00 tendered

I finally said just please keep the extra money and walked away.

Hum...

Is this the 5th or 6th firearm company now owned by the three headed dog

Since Cerberus is private and considering the business no help there....

Nice Dragoon, wish I had that!
That's a heck of a nice photo...
