I like my High Standard double nine, looks like a single action but has both single and double action capability. Also picked up a Sentinel, that has a very hard double action trigger pull but...

Very nice ROA, fantastic price, you'll really like it. Very accurate revolver and you can't wear it out. Congrats and good shooting.

Congrats, nice find. That's a first model Patriot, no brass nose. Mine is the same, nice shooter. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. I use a .440 ball, pillow ticking and 20 grains. Kept...

I have both factory ammo and reloads for my pistols and revolvers, I tend to confine the shooting to the reloads. A good friend casts all winter and I get most all of my lead boolits from him. That's...

Years ago, I found a drilling that was 20 ga 20 ga with 25/35 Win for the rifle bbl. price was more than fair but had to pass it up for the usual reason, lack of disposal (firearm-type) income at the...

Thanks for this sticky. It has been invaluable in getting an old 45 back in operation. I got from a box of reloading stuff at a gun show for 15 bucks, turns out it had a .358 sizer and die in it and...

Not talented enough to build a gun but I do enjoy shooting them.
I have made a few osage wood bows, quivers, and turkey fletched wood arrows, the primitive...

My indoor range has caliber restrictions, but allows any handgun and any rifle/carbine shooting a pistol round. You can shoot reloads, a lot of the old timers do, we all pick up our brass. If you...

As far as I know, NICS is reserved for FFL dealers to use for verifying purchaser eligibilty; others may want to chime in, but that is my understanding.

It is certainly taking diligence and quick on the CC and order form. The .22 ammo thread here and similar ones on other sites do help out. This is the first time I've seen current conditions on .22...

I've had a bunch of the old Milsurp rifles, commencing in the 60's with the ten dollar Enfields. The only one I have now is my swiss 96/11. Simply a fine milsurp rifle and very accurate. Got plenty...

That's a nice pistol and unique case for it. Like others, I spent time 'visiting' the guns at MW and Sears when I was a pup.

Duke, if you have the opportunity to shoulder both the Enfield and the Springfield you may like one or the other. I've found the Enfield stock straighter than the Springfield. The Springfield is more...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Well, I wouldn't say a great price, a bit high imo. On the other hand is a good kit and you can finish it the way you want. i.e. brown the barrel, stain and then tru-oil the wood etc. Take your time...
