Cranky.

Unfortunately this is not uncommon and you see it at estate & yard sales where the husband was a doer (home machinist, woodworker, reloader, fisherman, etc.). I find it wild that the spouse has so little interest on the values of his things. So stories of the widow being cheated may not be the...

If you want to start that primer sale early, I'm your huckleberry.

My list is always changing but a couple have been consistent over the years - Colt 1902 in .38 Auto Savage 1917 in .380 ACP

I have a 686 (6.5" no dash) that I managed to hang onto. It was my first handgun and still a favorite to shoot.

Look for his follow-up post on r/liberalgunowners where he tells his version of what happened. /then everyone clapped

My 1st gun was a lesser Sears version of the 352; birch stock and no fold-down fore-end. Was saving for a Ruger 10/22 but that would have taken another 6 months so I got what I had enough money for. Must have put 50 boxes down the pipe, it was a great rifle in hindsight and so simple when out of...

Wow, not sure I've ever seen a milled Hungarian before. If any show up around me it's an SA-85M.

Strikes a chord with me. Recently replaced a flatscreen monitor and the actual setup & use data was 2 pages of graphics, no words at all. The warnings and Do Nots however were at least 5 languages and comprised 90% of the manual "content". Convinced it is an ongoing dumbing down campaign on...

You might begin the process now and determine which auction house to use. In my area there are literally dozens but only 2 I'd want to work with. This varies because of their professionalism, knowledge of the category you want to sell in, years in the business, or plain sleaziness. Ask around or...

My son knows he gets it all and has a vested interest as overseer.

To add: I ordered my percussion cap maker from sharpshooter May 4 and received it May 26, roughly 4 weeks.

Yorktown is awesome for cannons if you've not been.

Toured it many years ago when I friend of mine was USCG stationed at St. Augustine. Not sure what the relationship was with the fort but he was on a reenactor cannon firing crew there. Fort Matanzas is also worth a visit (if you like old forts) and not far away. Very few cannons and no long arms...

Very cool if you can get that to work, have wondered about this many times but it never went the wonder stage. Does the rim of a Hilti load ~match a .32 rimfire?
