Yep .... I have 'em on my leverguns. For the Rossi's you can beat Steve's Gunz bolt mounted sight that replaces the crappy safety.

Sometimes I carry almost that much stuff just going from the house to the shop!

I was in the "buy them whenever you find them on sale" mode for years just to stock up. Like most I'm now in the "buy them when you find them - period" mode, and haven't seen any in any local stores for 2 years now. :cry: :cry: :evil: I picked some up at Academy a few months ago...

That great! Saved paying shipping and HazMat.

It's nuts! I haven't needed percussion caps in a while but it seems in my restocking of supplies during a period of political calm, I only bought large primers. Last week I bought a box each of small rifle and small pistol and the tally was over $200! Unbelievable. I'm used to them being $30-$35 a ...

The store yesterday had none, no large rifle primers or lead shot. I don't know what the world is coming to.

I have a pretty good idea what it's coming to but I refrain from using language like that on a forum visited by females and younger folks.

These days, when delivery is non-existent, if you haven't planned ahead you are in trouble.
I wouldn't mind delivery by animal powered wagon as long as it eventually got to me.

I disregard any signs stating I can't carry. They might as well put up a sign stating "Open season on humans, no guns in here!" They have no idea I'm carrying, and that's the way I always want it no matter where I am. If it is concealed properly, who is gonna know? I have carried a handgu...

Yep, too old to fight or run. But a 1911 in a cross draw OWB make me feel all warm and fuzzy. If you can lift your arm you are never too old to fight. :) I am sure you have read of Plains Indians who when they were old, staked themselves out for one last chance with their enemies. I love the scene ...

JimT

But there's more to this story than the news has reported. (of course!) Indiana is a right to carry state, so the citizen who took out the shooter DID NOT have a CWL. He was legally carrying under the laws there, without a CWL. Which is even better that the right to carry law worked well in this in...

So a 22 year old man .. with no military or police training .. stopped an active shooter within seconds of the shooter starting to fire on people. An untrained man with handgun did what 400 police officers with all kinds of equipment were unable to do in the Uvalde school. To my suspicious mind the ...

Once you tie them you can visualize the end goal and they become second nature.

This is another article from the old Sixgunner.Com website. It was written by PACO back in 1995. One was well over 260 lbs and the other near 300 lbs.

Jim, I topped off yesterday at an Allsup’s in Merkel at $3.71. Wish other prices were coming down. There's an interesting piece of history near Merkel, Bill. Years ago a guy on an overpass west of Merkel fired into a truck hauling dynamite and blasting caps. The explosion blew out that lane of trav...

There's about 15 more in the brush. Apparently someone's fence ain't working. When I went out to take pictures they came up to me wanting me to feed them.

That's a hellava zip gun.
I've seen similar in prison but they were not electronic ignition.

Never been a 9 mill guy (now the 10mm I adore) but have to say, this is actually impressive to me.

It's still a .35 caliber with a light projectile.

The Good Book says we should make a joyful noise and I like to do that as often as possible.

I only brought 600 or 70...
