Remember, while loving the sinner, we are still called to HATE THE SIN (and certainly not enable more of it)...

A couple years ago I picked up a TR Khan/Kayhan "Duo-Sys" imported by SDS Imports while in TN at Bud's Discount Guns. The system intrigued me; it was both a pump and a semi-auto. Looked like a shotgun for serious social work, and the price was right, so I picked it up. Looks intimidating, ...

See Darryl - I'm not the only one!!!

I got mine in .44 Russian. Same reason - I already load that caliber. It is a hoot! :D And GK, it is a shame that these didn't end up in the hands of the south... other than battlefield captures, which we were famous for! :wink: https://i.ibb.co/2tPtLvg/111-Armi-Sport-1865-Spencer-Carbine-14.jpg

Ditto!

Scott, the grip on the 97 looks like it is as large as the 1860 Army. Looks like it would be very comfortable!

Thanks Jay! I have a consecutive pair of the early 1911A1s that don't seem to be on the list. Mine have been great shooter with no issues. Lots of fun! jb 8) Tisas just came out with their version of the Springfield Prodigy. I will probably give it a whirl. I have a Sig P320, but other than that, j...

Me - because I won't be watching it!

Thanks!

I would get it secured in a solid vise and soak it with some good penetrating oil like Kroil for a few days. Then take a small punch and try tapping it from the side on that broken edge as far out from the center as you can get to get it to turn. If it's still a no-go then try a little heat from a ...

I've had the opposite experience. After loading .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, .44 Special and .44 Russian for months on end, the 9mm feels dinky!

... but it is not a skills I have developed yet! So, back in 2022 I won an auction on a Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action 3rd Model. It was really stiff, but a thorough cleaning helped a lot. Only issue was that the single action stop would not hold, but it worked perfectly in double action model...

Way too young.

Prayers up for them both!

Interesting links, Grizz!

I bought them from Midway.

Found them! Thanks Jim!

Jim, do you cast those .22-cal round balls or buy them?

Saved too! Thanks for sharing Scott!

Scott, is that a "Shockwave" or the like? I've been toying with the idea of getting one, just waiting on the right deal as I am not in a hurry. How is it to shoot?

So, who do you all like for relining?

What an awesome and thoughtful gift, Scott.

That's very nice, Jason.

I have a few .25 CP's, but not a Colt. Maybe someday. I took the kids out shooting the pocket guns a decade+ ago, and they had a ball.

Success all the way around!!!

Congrats, Ted!

Wet eyes here too.

Watched my grandparents go through this awful disease. My children's godfather is caring for his wonderful wife, their godmother, who has been fighting it for almost 2 decades. His patience and kindness is inspirational.

Dang, that was fast. Already out of stock.

Y2K already beat you to the punch, Six!

That's how it works for me!

There is something just nostalgic about a round nose or RNFP lead bullet. It makes you feel like your are enjoying history when loading and shooting them!

I love the .44 Russian round. Just a lot of fun to load and shoot!

I hate it when I misplace anything. Drives me absolutely bonkers. Happy that you found the 10mm cylinder, Jason. I hope you find the .22 magazine soon!

Very nice, Ted!

I don't have anything older than my Grandfather... but that means Y2K has something from his Great-Grandfather.

Flattops from the fifties….both calibers in all barrel lengths…except a 10” 357……my policy on buying guns is simple…Colt, Ruger, or Smith…I can use them for a lifetime and get back 4x what I paid for them.

Texas and Gov, Abbott are in the right; Biden and the Dem's/Left (as usual) are completely wrong. It is an invasion. Texas is bearing the immediate and devastating brunt of it. They are allowed to defend themselves, especially when the federal government willfully fails to enforce the laws and defen...

I think Mr. Rhinehart is talking about a "crick" instead of a "creek." The eminent authority on such things .. Patrick McManus ... tells us that a "creek" runs through property with manicured lawns and golf courses, while a "crick" runs through woods and cow ...

Very nice! I really like the darker stain on that holster. It looks a lot better. I may have to do that on a few holsters myself. :D Thanks Jay.

I love Starline brass! I just got my backorder of .45 Schofield in!

Texas is always in my prayers - but for the border crisis, I assume? I'm hoping I did not miss a weather event that has taken lives!

This article really struck a cord with me. Growing up north of Indianapolis, before suburban sprawl wiped it all out (after I became an adult and moved away), I was lucky to live in the county on an old farm that had been turned in 20-odd parcels, 1-5 acres each. And we had large fields and woods ri...

Very nice!

So, probably a silly question, but I imagine you have to remove the barrel first before using the FC cutter, right?

With the long hours you work, plus the "high" (ha!) number of rounds you put downrange each year -- yeah, I'd say you're right!

Have fun!

Oh sure, rub it in!

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...

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.
