Let's look at this from both sides. We are ONLY talking about a NEW gun here. You should have made sure the dealer knew it was a new gun and not a used one. It's all the difference in the world to him. He would then have had the option of selling you the same gun, buying through his wholesaler, for...

They probably figured he wouldn't have been so bold as to order a rifle wholesale from one of their wholesalers. Hold on now Ed, I did not do that. Maybe I didn't make it clear in my OP, but I bought the rifle RETAIL from another dealer out of state. I called today and confirmed that fact just to m...

Howdy folks, Please let me run a situation past you and let me know if you think I'm wrong. We have a local dealer here in Tucson, nice folks, but I've gotten sideways with them over an internet purchase of a firearm. I asked this dealer if they do FFL transfers and they told me that, yes, they do a...

Not surprisingly it's been discussed before:

Still no idea if it's a myth.

I didn't find it that preachy at all. The basic premise is that Earth has become natural resource poor and this planet is a bonanza so the opportunity for making money is through the roof. The "military" in the movie aren't military, they're a private security firm and the job is so danger...

Whole family enjoyed the film despite the plot echoing Dances With Wolves and Last Samurai (and a host of other films) very strongly - as another said sometimes you don't mind a simple plot when the movie is entertaining. Hey, it's not like Westerns often took wild plot turns and I like them! The 3D...

So was an elephant ever REALLY killed with a .22? I don't see how. Dead meat and skin is a bit tougher than live I would guess and I have to ask how close an artery runs to the skin behind the knee? Without knowing the latter it seems impossible to dismiss the story (although I'm highly skeptical a...

I'm so very sorry to hear of it Frank.

Thanks Fellas. It boggles my mind but I'm sure there's things about The States that boggle yours as well so I point to no motes in anyone's eye. Just curious is all!

Thanks again,

I've never had a problem with the eggs, but you seem to be highly susceptible. LOL! No, I don't think so Doc - in both cases our combat mess facility tried to kill us and laid most of the company down for the count. I gave up on "hot 'A's" and stuck to C Rations after the second attempt o...

To our lever gunners from Down Under: How many hoops do you guys have to jump through to own one of these things nowadays in Oz? Does their "repeater" status change anything? Magazine capacity? I know that the Cowboy Action scene is on the rise down there and it's a pain in the keester reg...

olyinaz

Legacy Sports folks and Chiappa have contacted me. I have been consulting with Chiappa since then to remedy some of these issues. The bottom line is they are definitely interested in making a better gun. I plan to see them at the ShotShow for some updates. That's great because the supply of Japanes...

Promises and apologies from Taylor's and from Chiappa, but nothing else so far. Lip service is cheap. Where is the rifle? Did Taylor's claim they had to send it back to Italy for examination rather than just replace it for you? I tried a Rossi '92 from Davidson's and it was a rusty mess. Tried anot...

What bothers me is not the cops there going to look up hoods videoing themselves brandishing shanks in public places because you know darn well and good that they concealed them on the way to/from wherever the videos were shot. Even in The States that's a serious crime with a long enough blade and I...

As much as I suspect it's probably just fine on a case by case basis, I still would have to recommend a used Winchester 94. Here's a gem:

If that's a donkey it sure looks like a big one! And a jenny is a female donkey. A hinny is a cross between a stallion and a jenny. A mule is a cross between a jack and a mare. At any rate, the tail and apparently missing forelock seem to point to donkey but it just looks too darn tall! Maybe that o...

The Rossis run around $500 (sometimes much less) and the Pumas can run up in the $800s or more if they happen to be Italian made vs. Brazilian made. The Italian made guns do not have the annoying bolt safety, they have much nicer wood and their metal fit is better with smoother actions out of the bo...

I had it in the back of my mind that cutting a Rossi would run afoul of idiotic legal hurdles. It's okay to make a "pistol" from the git go, but if you do it's a "short barrel rifle". :roll: Regarding Amazon, they have some sort of "Grand Poobah Secret Seal" or whatever...

What put the final nail in the article was when he wrote that he wished it had a scope mount on the barrel for a scout scope. My thoughts are that they make a gun like that is called a Marlin 45-70. My opinion is that he doesn't understand why people buy replica guns, to experience what that era ha...

You're absolutely right in my view.

What are your collective options about .38 Special 130gr "ball" FMJ ammo in a tube magazine? .38s have virtually zero kick in my Win 94 and the noses of this military ball ammo are quite blunt, but I thought I'd ask you all for your opinions on using it in a lever gun.

If only that guy had his handy atropene injector from his Army gas mask kit with him - all might have been well!! :roll: Just kidding of course.

That sounds great Jeff. I really look forward to checking out these scopes and certainly do appreciate the report.

Looks nice! Whatever Brazilian wood they're using does indeed seem to be a bit better these days. If you go over that wood with some oil your rag will probably come back all red (that's what they used to do anyhow). I had a Rossi .44 Mag recently that was bulging the cases (not horribly, but more th...

I hadn't seen this version with the higher grade wood, pistol grip and cut checkering. Are there any good reviews of this firearm from actual owners? I know that it's common to see the 464 widely trashed but I have to say when I've looked at them I don't see anything worse than what I saw out of Win...

The Chiappa made '92s are also available from Charles Daly but I'm not sure if in your caliber of choice. At any rate, they are a more detailed and closer reproduction to the original and they are finished to a much nicer standard than a Rossi but they may not necessarily shoot any better. It's been...

This is indeed good news and if you listen to the video at the website linked in Jeff's article they mention a $150 price point. I don't know which model that is in reference to but if these scopes come in at less than $200 I think they're going to be a great value as long as they deliver.

Consider loading some cartridges with Blackhorn 209 if you want to see some smoke and hear the boom. Unlike Pyrodex or the other black powder substitutes it's non-hygroscopic (does not attract and hold water), is non-corrosive (no more or less than any other grime in your gun), leaves far less crud ...

Have you tried shooting that new Chiappa .45 with heavy loads yet? You might get the same type of ejector imprints on the primer just like the Brazilian .44 did. Both of my .44 Mag Pumas do it with heavy factory loads and as far as I can tell it is no big deal. With my reloads I do not get the ejec...

The ones I've seen are simply lovely and well made but I have to admit I like the '73 better than the '66 for several reasons: 1) I like the looks of case coloring as much as brass, 2) I like the sliding dust cover on top of the '73s, 3) I like the face that you can get a '73 in .44-40 because it's ...
