My cousin and I both received a Glenfield 22 for Christmas when we were 10. We took then into the backyard and started shooting cans off the fence, using the neighbors house as a backstop. That...

Here in Port Huron,Mi they just cleared everything for reloading out. Picked up 8lbs of 3031 for $40 and 7lbs of 4007.

Make an inertia puller out of a 3ft 2x4. It works.

Drill a hole in a 2x4 just small than the rim and use some rubber bands to hold the round in place. Whack on a hard surface. Re-use bullet and powder.

I'm pretty sure I have a Lee TL 40 mold and a Lee sizer you can use. I can check alittle later and PM you.

My son has one and it out shoots some very expensive target 22s. The 28in barrel does slow down the fps. It's not the best woods gun, but they are accurate. If you are looking for hunting type 22, a...
I know 2 people that the LCP barrel has split open and destroyed the gun. Luckily with no injuries except some bruises. Ruger has replaced both in quick order and no explanation. Both people were...

The shotgun receiver are rated for only shotgun and blackpowder barrels (SB1) and the rifle receivers will accept most of the barrels. You might be able to put a 45/70 barrel on that shotgun...

My daughter has one. It shoots pretty good. Trigger pull needs to be lighter.

I have a 660 in 308 and I would not let go of it. The 660 just shoots too good. IMO find something else to trade.
Hess Knives are made of 1095. Made in Michigan by guys who use to work for Marbles. Nice and pretty reasonable.

+1 If it wasn't for those shops, I wouldn't have most of the guns I own. If it wasn't for Michigan having high unemployment, probably wouldn't see some fine older guns coming into the shops.

If you go to Williams, talk to Gary or Steve(manager). They are great guys and a wealth of knowledge. Guns Galore has some good prices and some odd personalities. Saturdays are really busy.

Looks to be in nice condition and not a bad price. If you decide to go for it, make sure to check all the barrel threads for any damage. I've seen a few where people over torqued the barrel nut....
Monson and Norwich were the best, in my opinion. The Palmer guns were spotty. I have a few of the early Monson (744 & 715) without the full underlug. The very early (model 12?) had a porkchop shaped...

I would go with a gently used MEC. Also, after reading your other post, if you go looking for shotgun hulls, don't pick-up any that may have been out in the rain or the base wad may have damaged.
