No reason at all. If you still enjoy your stuff and have no reason to part with it, I see no reason whatsoever to get rid of it.

I'm still relatively young (ish) compared to a lot of you all, but...

There is that, too. Nothing wrong with wasting time doing something impractical if it’s something you enjoy, we do that sort of thing all the time with certain aspects of reloading and casting. My...

Something I’ve learned over the years is that often it’s really more about numbers than it is about money. Some people can’t stand to let go of anything for less than they “have into it”. For some...

I can see that you guys understand very well. :)



Isn’t that true! You know what they say: a friend is someone who will come bail you out of jail, but a true friend is in there with you.

I...

Thanks guys. You're reinforcing my decision to decline. I've helped a lot of friends and acquaintances over the years; minor gunsmithing, reloading help, buying or selling a gun, etc.. Some people...

I already told him I don't have time for a gun show. There is an auction house in easy driving distance. I'll encourage him to check into that. The sad part is that he just found out that the cancer...

I know a lot of you all have gone through or at least considered this over the years: how to get rid of decades worth of accumulation? What a huge hassle!

I recently agreed to help an older...

Mine gave up too, a few years ago. I spent a couple dollars and replaced the bearings, and it ran like a new one. I don't use it anymore though, since I started wet tumbling.

Mine is an old Midway...

I've been encouraging my kids to make something of themselves, always learn and be looking for something better. I was stupid when I was young, waited for things to come to me instead of being smart...

One thing that's really been interesting to me in recent years has been really understanding the power of inflation.

We all think back to how much things cost or how much we earned back in the...

I work in an industrial plant where I'm the senior tech. I learned years back that annual raises (in my company at least) were nothing more than an attempt at keeping up with inflation, 2-3% at best,...

I work for a large nation wide company with thousands of employees. Raises are always about the same every year, with very little variation for performance. It's called a "merit increase", but...

Now that I think about it, I had a slightly similar issue here a couple years ago. I bought a 1911 barrel off of Swappin and Sellin. I paid and he shipped the barrel promptly. When I pulled it out of...

Glad it worked out. If it were me though, and I made a mistake, I would do my best to make the buyer completely whole, and that includes covering shipping both ways. Integrity is worth more than a...

I wish I had land I could shoot on. I grew up on a farm with plenty of room. Now I'm raising my family in town. Around here, you either need family land, or have to be wealthy to afford room enough...

Do the top right clips hold 30-06/8mm Mauser size rims? I would have sworn they were Broomhandle Mauser clips, but if they're bigger than a 9mm/7.62x25 base, then they wouldn't be.

The reason I...

I hate cancer, hate it with a passion for very personal reasons. Cancer and the requisite treatment are devastating to the body.

I'm glad to see that Paul has such a good attitude and still has...

Nothing strange about it, in my book. I'd have bought them too if they were cheap enough. That's why I go to gun shows - to look around and find oddball things to buy.

As already ID'd, the top...

Very nice, but I do see one problem: that empty bolt hole right in the middle. You're naturally going to aim for the middle when you're shooting at it, and if you're an awesome shot like me, you're...

Sorry for your loss. You are very blessed to have had such a father. There's something special between a son and his father.

I lost my dad four years ago, and miss him all the time, even though we...

Me too. I always have something mildly interesting on youtube, something in the background but not too interesting. Total silence doesn't work for me; seems to be distracting in and of itself...

Darnit! That's a great show, and I'm going to miss it. :(

That's one of the best shows around. I don't go to very many shows nowadays, but I always try to make it to that one. I used to work in...

I kind of figured it wasn't Turkish. It's a bit rough too. I imagine in earlier days when surplus was cheaper and more readily available, this thing would have ended up as firewood. It has a couple...

Oops, sorry about that. I thought I had attached more photos than just the one. Here are the rest.

This is a project that's been on the back burner for a long time, just because it's there. I have...

I didn't know he was going downhill so fast. I've met him a few times at gun shows. The last time I saw him was a month or two ago; I bought some ammo and odds and ends from him. He seemed very...
