That is a big win: https://americangunalliance.com/2021/06 ... itutional/ However, I have a feeling that Rob Bonta, CA AG, will appeal the case to be heard by the entire 9th Circuit Court.

Scott: hope your wife continues to do better. Good score on the Browning! Hope you enjoy rifle and the calibre. I think that the .30-40, like the .38-40, is an underappreciated caliber.

Drawdown: thanks! Will check Hawk Bullets out. Need to run a check on my computer system first-- been acting strange today. Took 2 tries to log on here. Again, tahnks!

Ray Newman

Drawdown: I cannot log onto the Hawk bullet site for some reason. Quick question: are the bullets in packages of 50 or 100? Some custom bullet makers only offer boxes of 50. Can you give us a ballpark price per box? Thanks .

Was there a difference between the original 5744 and XMP 5744? When 5744 first came to market, my local dealer ordered some for his cast bullet customers.

SR 4759 was a good smokeless lead bullet powder. Problem is that production of it ceased about 8 years ago.

Jay Bird: nice score on the Ohio Ordnance BAR. hap the opportunity in the mid - late 1990's to buy and never followed through. Still regretting it. Could well imagine you could shoot it on semi all day, but would hate to carry one and its BAR belt all day!

Griff: thanks!

Colleagues: nephew has Win 94 Cowboy Commemorative that needs a replacement front sight. What was the Winchester front sight for this M94-- blade or bead? Thanks for any help.

very nice find! I always thought -- and still think -- the .38-40 is a very underestimated and under-appreciated cartridge!

Let us know how it shoots.
