Re: .32 caliber j frame
And why stop at the .32 H&R Mag when they could have chambered it in .327 Federal Mag which can handle the .32 H&R Mag?

Well Fellas (and Lady) - I finally received a backorder - from February of last year - of 500 pieces of brand-spanking new Starline .45 Schofield brass. Should last me forever. I actually had two backorders with them and they called to see if I wanted both. :oops: Only took one; figured others had b...

Re: Ultra sonic cleaning
I used one to clean blackpowder revolvers after disassembling them. Run them through a few 5 minute cycles then it makes cleaning them a whole lot easier.

Re: New shotgun
Very nice, Nath! That is a bit over $400 USD here, and that's a great deal for a semi-auto. Y2K's first pump shotgun was a Hatsan "Escort" in 20 gauge, and its a great little shotgun (though he outgrew it fast).
