Hey Guys, Thanks for the information, suggestions and ideas. I do appreciate every one of them. J.C.

Reloading with Lee Loader Yes, the little hand press unit is what I am referring to. Thanks, J.C.

Hello folks, got a question for you this morning. I have an Saginaw .30 Carbine due in Monday and need some thoughts from you that have/do use the little Lee Loader. I am not what you would call a shooter but I do like to pop a few ocassionally and cannot justify one of the nice bench type...

Musket That is a very nice looking musket, made me remember one I had stuck back in the back closet. My wife got it for me for my birthday from an old Indian Relic dealer in Lamar Arkansas, I believe his name was Hershal Daniels. This was in 1962 so I would have to assume it is/was an original...

Looking for something new to read this morning, I got onto this subject and I have a question on something that happend 55 years ago in 1954. Myself and a friend had been making our own Black Powder for some time. I will admit neither of us were as precise as the directions found on this...

Marlin 1894C About 45 years ago I had a Winchester model 1892 in 38x40 I believe it was. The barrel was pretty well shot out and I (as I had aquired it) swapped it off at a gun show. In later years I began to wish I had it back to have it converted to .38/.357 but never found another anywhere...

To Lock or Not to Lock Been reading the post here and can't say I disagree with any. But look at it the way I see it. True, I have no children at home, the last one left the nest about 23 years ago and all 4 of them were brought up with guns, loaded and unloaded. They were taught to respect...

Since you asked, I will offer my opinion. The Winchester Model 12 to me is as fine a shotgun as I ever picked up. In 1961/62 I shot a Field Grade Model 12 to shoot Trap and even shot one event in Madrid Spain of Olympic Trap where you get two shots (if needed) at each target and I broke more...

Thanks for the replies. J.C.

( Quote) The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? That would get rid of a lot of luggage wouldn't it.

Military Shotguns Today, I wish I could find what I found in the late 1950's. I was on a trip (Air Force C-124 Crewchief) out of Kelly AFB, Texas into England and Europe. I forget just which base we were at but believe it was Burtonwood in England. Saw, and could have bought "NEW" Winchester...

Flintlock with a Plastic Stock WHY?? At least here in Arkansas, the idea of a special hunting season for deer caught on in 1971 when the state held it's first, Muzzle Loading Only deer hunt in one area of the state, Sylamore in north central Arkansas. This opened the door to everyone having...

I have been reading the post and replies on the Sawed Off Shotgun question posted by DHart and I have been asking myself and a few others during Bull Sessions, about an idea that I think would help the short shotgun really scatter the shot load while still holding to the minimum length and...

Hello again Brad, If I remember correctly the Airweight Bodyguard was NOT designed to handle the +P ammo. J.C.
