I once heard that the 32-20 was the basis for the 30carbine in rimless and pressure raised. Must be a pretty good
cartridge. That true?

Back in the early 80's I had the chance to buy legally from a class3 dealer a real "BAR" for $960. A lot of money then.
But it is THE ASSAULT RIFLE. Just ask any German soldier which American weapon they feared most.

The gov of Ga just signed into law making it legal to ccw carry on mass transit and restaurents that serve alchohol. Theres also a part for some types of convicter felons to carry if their debt to society is paid. The ding bat mayor of Atlanta wants the airport excluded because sehe sys that terrori...

Will be going to the range tomorrow with the Colt. Got some 200gr swc cowboy loads to see if they shoot any lower. The guy from Atlanta Arms Ammo said they were real wimp loads at 720fps. He said that was what the SASS people liked. I have looked at all the pics on the net of SAA guns. I still cant ...

OK, I'll love it and shoot it. Now please explain this. How is it that after almost 40 years of shooting pistols I have
just recently "discovered" Colt SAA's?

The missing blue is actually on the side of the cylinder, near the end between the flutes. I have never seen this before with a revolver. This is my first Colt SAA. I have owned other Colt revolvers and other single actions. I called Colt customer service today. They referred me to the custom shop. ...

Went to the range with my ''new'' Colt SAA today.It shoots great. A little high and to the right. Will try some other ammo brands to bring it in. Came home and gently cleaned it with Rem Oil and a soft cotton rag. There was a spot of carbon on the front edge between the flutes on the cylinder. Somet...

The Social Security people have said they will send me $1502 per month if I quit work. My boss at work says it will cost me considerably MORE to stay home. My ''real'' boss. The one I live with. The one that keeps THE check book says if I retire, quote." No more new TOYS". So, at the eve o...

Had that been my daughter at 12 the guy would have DEAD. There has ALWAYS been a loaded revolver within easy reach in my house. The family knows how to use it too. The whole family. Were that my neighbor I might suggest the family learn to shoot a firearm and have one available for emergencies. Our ...

Having survived 3 wars and missing a part or so I feel like a cat with 9 lives. If I were an old 92 Winchester I
would probably rate an NRA 40%.

I have a Smith mod15 2''. My daughter loves to shoot it. I guess she likes it because it feels like her mod48. The only gun I own that she has made any mention of having a ''jump'' is a Beretta 84 single stack 380acp. I also have the Beretta's twin in 22lr. The 22 is much more pleasent to shoot. I p...

Heres what worked for me and mine. I bought a mod36 smith for my wife on our first Xmas. Took her and had her shoot it w/no earplugs. Big mistake. She didnt touch it again for 7-8 yrs. Then sent her to a handgun class with the girl across the street. She ended up scoring 86 at the range. The girl ac...

I picked my Colt 5 1/2'' .45 from the gun shop Thursday. And 100rds from Natchezss on Wed. Will be at the range tomorrow. The thing is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Sexier than Madonna. Cant keep my hands off it. Aint my favorite cal.(44spcl is) but could not find one I could afford. A thou was ALL I could ...

Me thinks Mueller may trying to gain favor in what he thinks to be in the possiblity of an OBAMANATION in the future

Atsa my boy Griff. Ju tellem. I followed Griff's advice and bought a 00-02 3rd gen 5 1/2'' 45cal. sn S17xxxA.
Almost new in box for a grand. Not bad when you see Ruger 22 revolvers for 450-500usd. Heck if I dont
like it I may have to get ANOTHER one.

I like the political posts. Just think just maybe some our judges read sometimes. They need to know what others think too. I am sure they know te news media is no reliable source of opinion. I know that their decisions are based on interpreting the law. Laws are nothing more than men's of the way th...

YK, I have an uncle buried at the Nat Cemetery there. My dad went to UPI in 37. I remember him talking about taking the train to "Beautiful Beaufort by the sea. 26 miles from Yemessee". Worked a short time at BMCAS in 72. MY favorite place is the "HOLY CITY". I was born and raise...

My first levergun was a Marlin 39A. app67 $87 new-no2 was a Marlin in 375Win used app80 $150

It does have the box. Ser-S17xxxA I did some research on the net last nite. Seems the 3rd gen sn is after 93 when they reached SA99999. Started S02000A. There is also an UNOFFICIAL 4th gen where they changed the cyl pin or bushing back to what it used to be in 1 and 2 gen guns. This was done after s...

When was it made and is it a good year? It will be a shooter. Is this a fair price?

Thanks

I know we all like big guns. but FOURTEEN INCH. Thats a real gun. Biggest gun I ever saw was night fire from 8'' howitzer self propelled guns. Beats ANY fireworks show I have ever seen. Have heard night time B52 carpet bombimgs are quite a swow. And we think a 2'' snubbie is brite. I think big guns ...

RSY, I visited SJC Mon in June 1990 while on tdy briefly at Ft Hood. Ms Texas was NOT at home. Seems she was in drydock for a refit and paint job.
Have not had the chance to call again. Thanks for the invite.

Just read about the Navy's newest amphib ship USS NEW YORK and the steel in it from the WTC. I googled previous USS NEW YORK BB 34. Seems this battlewagon's keel was laid down SEPT 11,1911 in Brooklyn Navy Yard. She fought thru WWI -WWII. Won a bunch of battle stars. Fired more 14'' shells on Iwo th...
