The Ruger has one major advantage for some people over the extremely similar Kel-Tec and that's the shape of the grip. My hand is large enough that my thumb accidentally hits the mag release on my Kel-Tec when I shoot it enough that the gun will not work for me. The Ruger has a small thumb depressio...

Nice mild .30/40 rounds are a pleasure to shoot. Hard to argue with a rifle that's more fun to shoot!

I though Deadwood was a good concept and had a great original "old West" feel to it. However, I stopped watching it pretty quickly because every other word was "f***" this and "f******" that, so much so that it detracted from the story. I really doubt that word was use...

I picked up a Krag today and noted that the USPS postage was $38 and that didn't include the extra insurance and tracking fees, nor the cost of packing. In this case the shipper was a fool and packed my rifle very poorly, but I got lucky and nothing was busted. Now THAT is what irks me - poor packag...

Ouch! Hang in there and get better soon.

UPS rates have gone up such that a $35 shipping charge is not at all unreasonable for a long gun.

I'll be honest in that I just don't understand the heart burn in any case though - I figure it into the total price and either I'm willing to pay it or I'm not.

>>>The first episode on the "Wanted"DVD I got from walmart had a very young guy named Michael Landon in it.<<<

Yep! I saw that, he looked to be just a kid. Died gut shot in the episode if I recall?

I'm still working through the series as I travel. I watch them on my iPhone and I have to say it seems to make flights go a heckuva lot faster. At any rate, I've noted several things - the first being that these are really well acted given the 1950s period. Not schlocky or ridiculously over acted li...

And as much as I enjoy the Quinn brother's web site what guns don't they like?

I can't tell what it's made of but it looks like it's got some kind of cheap castings (maybe even zinc alloy) - just looks bad in my view.

It would have to REALLY be something! Sheesh...

It's my son's and it's for show and not go, but I do have to say it's made very nicely out of real materials. From Lord of the Rings, The Sword of the King:

I wonder, Buck, if it was a price issue? Was the gun over priced in the market as compared to the excellent Colt and S&W products of the time?

...a Trapper takedown octagon-brreled rifle, with a pistol grip, and checkered stock, huh? Egads that's a handsome rifle! Too bad about the tang safety and rebounding hammer...and the price. Still, there's enough going on here given the take down, curved grip and checkering (not to mention it's an ...

The "Model 94" can go the way of the dodo as far as I'm concerned and this thing they're making now out of Japan is ridiculous but the Winchester 1894? I'd love to see that lovely baby come back as a nice copy in the Cimarron line.

I've got one and it seems to feed whatever I've put in it so far but I've not tried .38 wad cutters.

357s a bit more smoothly than .38 ball but not much.

With a Mini you have a rifle that carries like an M1 Carbine but hits much harder. A stainless Mini-30 would be a fantastic truck gun and/or woods rifle and I agree that they carry much nicer than an AK-47. I've got both and I would grab my Mini before I'd grab the AK. I should note, however, that a...

Pete: I got that mount from an outfit called Kalinka. It's rock solid as I've modified it but I can't recommend it because it does NOT properly fit the PSL as delivered (despite it being offered as such). I had to do some dremmel work on it to get it to where it's proper and if you're handy with too...

I'd really like to see it shooting in action so I'll second the request for a video.

Looking good Charlie!

You may have answered this already but I missed it if so: I was wondering, while looking at that lovely receiver in the white, how you're going to finish it? Any chance you'll have it color case hardened? What did you have in mind?

Thanks,

Y'all can have the musk hogs! All I have to do is step out my door any given night to smell those snorting stinky buggers rooting in my wash or front yard.

Must be something in the water Terry, after eight years and over 4000 posts, I got banned from TFL last week for calling somebody a "nut". Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. It was a waste of time anyway. ;) I'm thinking maybe it was the part where you called forum members o...

I'm up to episode 5. I pulled them off the DVDs and watch them on my iPhone as I travel for work. Great show and what a great deal on the DVD box set!

I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. Even if it were modest money (which it's not) there's no excuse for not living up to the promise of proper goods for proper payment.

It's just a matter of time. These people are as nuts as the Devil can make them, they're just as smart as you or I, and they're not going to give up or go away until Jesus comes again so get used to the threat and the occasional "victory" on their side. What you should be worried about is ...

Angle eject, tang safety, all tarted up and $1500-$2000 for a made in Japan "Winchester". [SNORT] What a joke!

Sell us something historically accurate for $900? Maybe. But this is freakin' ridiculous.

Oly, look at your topic...even you have doubts about your actions. Where we came in absolutely. And asking for a "reality check" here on top of what transpired in the ensuing days is what convinced me that I'd been wronged. It, like all things, is a process and one rarely ends up right wh...

Therein lies the rub to this type of thread. We don't know what really happened. We only have 50% of the story.

It looks very interesting and the 30 round cap is exciting but I have to ask what kind of performance one gets out of .22 Mag from a 4" barrel? Is it notably better than .22LR?

An analogy might be buying a set of tires from tirerack.com. The local garage says they will mount tires for you for $10 per wheel + $1 disposal fee - $11 per tire. Tires arrive via UPS and you take them to the garage. They jack up your truck, install the tires, then tell you that you owe $271.00 b...

What a sight! I can't imagine what it's worth but the history alone is stunning.

Interesting that a Tennessee company was part of the 25th Alabama but I have long since given up trying to understand Civil War army (either one) structure and organization.

To all: The shop in question is the Thunderstick Trading Post in Tucson. I was willing to let this whole thing fall under the running boards as a simple misunderstanding (me misunderstanding that a flat rate $25 FFL transfer fee really meant "unless" or "maybe if", and them misun...

Now that being said, why do you think that all those jobs are being outsourced overseas? 'Cause we'll screw our neighbor to save a buck! Well I think that overstates things a bit because after all, almost everyone works too hard for not enough money so most of us look for the best deal on most thin...

In his first post the OP (Original Poster) said he'd ordered the gun from a Wholesaler and got it for a wholesale price. Later he said he ordered it from a retailer and got it at a retail price. Ed, I never said that. What I said in my OP was that they (the gun shop that I've gotten sideways with) ...

He was wrong. He told you he would charge $25 and should of stuck with it. I'm betting that at the time you didn't tell him you were going undercut him though and buy it from one of his wholesalers. Did you? He had a right to be mad but it doesn't make it right. You were wrong because you undercut ...

Generally, I'm on the Modoc Ed and Charles side of this one. I think the dealer SHOULD have refused the transfer when he was in contact with the shipper because at that time he probably became aware of what the situation was. In that case, he did hold your firearm hostage to extract an unexpected f...
