Well, we tried it again. Guy was selling that Texan for $500. Talked him down to $470 before seeing it. Then I saw it in person-- Several dents up and down the stock you couldn't see in the pictures, but the action was good. Had one of those brownell $30 peep sights. Asked if he'd be willing to do $...

I value physics. Mass is my friend. I cannot 100% guarantee shot placement. I value big holes. I value capacity. My magazines are extended. If I need velocity, I simply choose a lighter bullet. I carry a .45 When I got my first pistols, I went from 9mm to 45acp. Neither proved uncomfortable for long...

Detachable mag is a big plus in my book.

Got a little sticker shock going on here... $1000?

EGAD!!!

Pretty sure you can find good condition Savage 99s for that price. And they look better.

Panzercat

A distinct possibility when I buy a new lever.
Finally sold one of those Mini14s, so I've got an open slot in my schedule for one

Panzercat

Im pretty sure I wasn't trying to defend their permanence :p

Panzercat

Much as I hate to say it, I like the bright plastic followers. Every time I glimpsed the metal one in my friend's Winchester, I suddenly became paranoid there was another shell hanging out down there.

Panzercat

Took them long enough. Seriously. It's been years since they first announced this. Not sure I want one anymore. :p

Panzercat

Another nod to their 5.56. Good stuff.

Panzercat

Annnd so much for that. Guy got a bit too greedy for his own good. He valued his Marlin at $500 and specifically listed interest in a trade for a Mini 14. I just happen to have a LEO Mini 14 that I bought for $500. Figure I'm being fair not only giving him what he wants, but not inflating the price...

Ha! Count on leverguns to deliver after a fashion--

Sorry its upside down. Not my pic and im at work.
Having never owned onei assume its the genuine article?

Anything noteworthy about this particular model of marlin? More or less comfortable to shoulder? Quirks? The one I'm looking at is being offered up in 30-30. I don't think Remlin has a modern equivalent, so I'm assuming it's a JM stamp. I don't see many of them being offered out there, so i'm kinda ...

Purchased a 454 in 2010. Fit and finish was lousy, most notably with the completely mismatched wood. Wouldn't cycle 45lc without ramming the nose of the cartridge into the upper lip of the chamber. Cycling 454 required a very stiff yank or you weren't guaranteed to lift the cartridge. Presumably mos...

Compared to a loading gate its awkward, inconvenient, slow and requires more space to maneuver in.

And I don't like taking the levergun entirely out of action just to top it off.

Panzercat

God, I can only imagine what search results looking for "turd penalty" would turn up.

Needless to say I won't be looking it up here at work .

Thus the point of the original comment.

Sidegate.

But I assume they're rolling in enough $$$ not to care.

Badge is still where I left it and they never issued me a gun. Not it.

As I recall, Kalashnikov USA has nothing to do with Kalashnikov anything besides making them independently.
And this is severely old news, Fox. Everybody is jumping on the AK made in America bandwagon now that the tap from Russia was turned off. It's actually affordable for them to do it now.

You... You tease.

I'm not exactly one to fawn over the deaths of actors, but Alan Rickman simply amazes me by the sheer number of movies I've seen but never actually realized he was in.

I hear Remington is opening up custom shop called "marlin".

Here's the article, but I'm thinking tongue-in-cheek... http://www.realguns.com/articles/785.htm ....however I like where they describe the rifling..." At mid barrel, just when the bullet thinks it is settled in, the rifling reverses direction, causes the bullet to pause, reflect and shake off...

New for 2016, the Ruger Switcharoo. http://www.realguns.com/images/rugerswitcheroo.jpg Pic Courtesy of Real Guns . The long story short here is a pistol capable of .357 and .22 by simply rotating the barrel. At first I though You fired rounds from either the 12 or 6 oclock position, but there's a si...

Maybe I'd believe a part of the gun was stripped away to damage the machine, but I'm not buying that it "went off".

I wonder how they are going to handle the pointy bullet in a tubular mag thang... :? :? Didn't somebody say they were going to be mag fed? Though I wouldn't mind a Savage 99 internal rotary mag system either. Ok, I thought that might be what you meant. I have a Rossi .454 and I consider that one of...

$475 for a 39a in good condition is not at all unreasonable. I probably wouldn't have dickered either... Or questioned the price buying it.

Waiting on the pics.

Pretty sure I gave a comprehensive reply in my first post :( Thus my answer - no handgun will defeat all body armor. Well, nobody said all body armor.

Maybe this thread was a bad influence, but I've actually been kicking this decision around for a bit. I normally carry my EDC with a mag of nine rounds of .45acp.

Oh, look at this-- 1911 7.62x25 Tokarev Conversion. Wonder how those handle...? Since the the copper jacketed steel core ammo is not legal for USA, I wonder if the rep for Kevlar penetration is still valid. Kinda like 5.7 and its AP rounds, I guess.

"The Tokarev also made it through, but I think you're going to have a substantial recoil penalty attached to it as well." Not sure what you mean by recoil penalty but my experience with the 7.62x25mm tokarev finds it very mild recoiling. Using identical tokarevs, one in 7.62x25mm, the oth...

Uhg. The bps out here has a pretty weak guns and ammo selection compared to Cabelas. I mean neither are my goto retail establishments, but Cabelas is definitely the better of the two.
