The country folks around me like those that live in the bush in Alaska consider a gun( usually more than one just like screwdrivers) and a chainsaw as absolutely necessary tools. Now there are some I...

Agree with the 30 30 as brass and components are very easy to find. I find that when loading for my tube magazine leverguns where a good crimp is needed the Lee factory crimp die makes that operation...

This is just another indictment of our horrendous public education system. Civics as well as real history and science are not taught in school. A big reason many of these people know nothing about...

That is the biggest reason all this crazy left wing garbage ever sees the light of day. The other side drags their people out to vote but the right leaning people tend to shun the political process...

If anyone thinks that the government can’t or won’t ever infringe on your ability to buy guns and ammo I invite you to talk to a law abiding NYS gun owner. We have a good chance of having the most...

Congratulations Vall. I laugh when I hear you can’t find any good deals at gun shows. Definitely harder than it used to be but you still can find the occasional gem.

If you use poison get the all weather bait blocks and use bait stations( you can make them out of the big red Folgers coffee can) and wire the blocks in so non target critters don’t get poisoned. I...

When the sale first started I got a 45acp and 9mm ( 20” &17”) barrels for a little over $80 delivered . Guess I need to think about another NEF stub job.

I have a 9mm Green Mtn barrel blank that will probably end being another stub job for one of my H&R/NEF frames.

Was my primary powder back in the 70’s and 80’s for loading 16 ga. hunting ammo.
Very personal. Depends on your shooting interests but whatever is a lifetime amount plus 1 is enough .

Oh yes. Back in the 70’s & 80’s my subscription to Shooting Times was more important than Playboy. lol. Milek, Skelton , Wooters,etc.

Here in NYS you have to undergo a colonoscopy to buy ammo. Many are going to a free state or like me, just rolling their own. You have to pay $2 for a background check and the system works as you...

Been using bore butter in a warm, dry bore in my inlines for over 30 years without any rust problems. Clean with soap and hot water, dry and then hit it with a heat gun so the bore butter melts....
Forum: Leverguns
Glad anytime I see a new option in the levergun category, but not for me. I’ll stick with overpaying for preferably a vintage or new American made gun. Not knocking them, just not my cup of tea.

Just had my new Silverado Ziebarted. They have been around a long time. The key is the annual inspection and recoating area of wear. All undercoat helps but none are 100% especially in areas like the...
