I have to admit, I'd of had a tough time letting that go.
Even for a big profit.

I've always looked upon my stuff as "things". I rarely get emotionally attached to them. I find myself getting more pragmatic the older I get.

I owned this rifle for a short period of time. When I received the factory letter I decided to sell it to someone that was a collector and not a shooter like me. It's good to see the rifle again. Really neat that the factory letter shows it went back to the factory and had so much done to it. I over...

The only VV powder I have found that mimics 2400 is N110. You can actually load much hotter loads with it than 2400, but I've never had the need, urge, etc. N110 will also have significantly less flash, blast, and soot than 2400.

jdad

When you spoke with me from the show and said it was high condition, for 140 years old, you weren't kidding.

jdad

It could be worse. You could have accidently driven into CA with being CARB approved.

Go to gunbroker, go to "completed auctions, and see what a comparable rifle actually SOLD for.

Yes, TCGC has gotten very tight on the rules.....almost to the point of being ridiculous. Raising a muzzle above parallel to the ground is one of those rules that there is no gray area even when physics is explained. I was politely admonished for being more than an arms distance from a shooter when ...

When we lived in the Sierras I loved cutting and splitting. It was stacking that I hated.

I use N110 almost exclusively for magnum pistol loads, with jacketed bullets. It almost duplicates grain for grain with 2400 (and can be loaded to much higher velocities), but has very little of its flash, blast, and residue. N110 Plinking loads, with lead bullets... I would be careful going less th...

I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. The money is peanuts in the scheme of other expenditures we make. Right now all semi automatics are akin to the stock market but without the fear of losing money......(pretending on the prices) ....you bought it for a grand and today ...

We have a great (and house shaking loud) early warning system. Our Pyrenees barks at any sound it deems to be from a threat. A leaf hitting the window at 3am is a good example.

I have a very thorough full body dermatology exam every year. What I thought was a tiny pink skin tag, on the left side of my nose (right by the corner of the eye), wasn't. 6 weeks after the radiation treatment was done I found another "something" on the left side near the ear. That got cu...

Thank you all. I'm doing fine, but my better & prettier half has had a rough morning.

She had a reaction this morning to one of the IV antibiotics, migraine, and vomiting. She gets another night in hospital.

Did any of you notice it's the old 2020 catalog? All Ruger did was put it up on their web site.

Still a solid 1"+ of ice (barely an inch of snow all weekend) and it should finally start melting late today, freeze back up tonight, and the temp will be in the 40's Monday. I live 500' up and it's 1.5 miles down hill to the main roads. I may chain up later and get to the store.

It humors me to hear "it's the greedy shareholders", "it's the greedy union labor", etc. If we didn't have cheap imports to compare our stuff to no-one would be complaining right? LIke Six said, that with the exception of some US made vehicles (and some hand tools) a lot of "...

CZ will have an AR line now. I'm sure they will improve the quality and let the production staff know they can move the plant to somewhere it will improve if they can't.

Yesterday we woke to 23 degrees, but thankfully it warmed up to 25 degrees for a high! Then woke up this morning to the same 23 degrees, and a pleasant surprise!

Not a penny of support until the "crazy cat lady" (Hammer) and "it's good to be the king" WLP are gone. It's been almost 3 years since I "donated" to them.

We can only hope that Ruger bought in because they see a chance to make money the way they always have. By making customers happy. I looked through the list of Ruger recalls and it was far from "every" new model. I was curious because I own several Rugers including handguns and presently ...

This is going to be interesting.... finally, after 30 years, a Marlin that will work ......and hold up.---6 Six, You gave me a good laugh with that one too. :lol: Isn't Ruger the same company that has had a recall on just about every new firearm they have released in the last 10 years? https://ruge...

Naw, it can't be political at all.

NY governor Cuomo (D) caught without a mask in public.

It could have been an AK pistol, Half SIze 22cal, etc.

They make half size 1919 belt fed 22cal so it could be anything "AK". https://www.gunauction.com/buy/17094574

Nope, not for me.

Just remember that you are committing suicide until the chute opens.

The funny thing is that he's moving from Los Angeles to Austin, because CA has become such a liberal cesspool. From what I have heard, Austin is politically just like living in CA. He just signed a $100 million Spotify podcast deal, so he has enough FU money to live however he likes.

My doctor is a day younger than me. He told me that the first shot would feel like someone hit your shoulder with a 2x4 and you would have some mild flu like symptoms for about 2 days. He said the 2nd shot would be very minor to no discomfort. He was 100% correct. My wife just had her first and she ...

It doesn't matter what you old Fudds think about it.

Henry is focusing on the market demand for self/home defense. Marlin is doing the same thing with their 1894 SBL and CSBL line. Mossberg is doing the same.

They're all going to sell everything they can produce.

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the Scout Oath and deleted the last 3 words "... and morally straight ." On second thought they will probably remove the first line as well " On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country ..." I'm becoming so cynical now...

I found this out the hard way.

I was in the Boy Scouts for many years, and became an Eagle Scout in 1972. I loved being a part of scouting. I'd agree with Doc AJ that what did them in was their capitulation to the PC crowd. Of course.... it wasn't ever really about PC. There was the admission of deviants as troop leaders and tro...

You guys have forgotten about the Sig 320 "voluntary" recall. You can see the videos online of the "drop it just right and it goes boom" video. I tried it with mine (unlooaded) before sending it back and I heard the click of the striker. I have no problems carrying a light weight...
