For a rifle's it would be my CZ FS .22lr. Continues to amaze.
Pre-64 Winchester 30.06 Featherweight.
Handgun, my Leas Baer 1911 .45acp. 8000+ rounds with one failure to feed.( i missed crimping the round). Just like Mikey, eats anything.

I have a rifle for sale in the classified's and rec'd an E-mail via a Billy Dixon. Any reply sent by me, to: webservant@levergunscommunity.org is being bounced back. The inquiry was sent by member Steve.

So if you see this Steve..................................

Thanks for the B-day wishes. As a gift to myself, I got a new Ruger 10/22 take-down and my wife got me a rim-fire scope.

Which is the easie...

Nice gun. Congrats on the find.

In the early 80's while at the police range in Ft. Collins,CO. The local armored car company was testing a sample of the new "bullet-proof glass for it's vehicles. A sample was set up a 25 yards. Using a 255 gr, Keith hard cast hot load out of a S&W mod.24, I put a round clean through. To t...
