    Hakim Rifle Questions

    You might try Sarco for the barrel band. I think they have some Hakim parts so maybe they have that.

    Why is factory 45/70 ammo so expensive?

    I've noticed the high prices for .45-70 also. I think the cheapest I've found was Hornady LEVERevolution at Cabelas for like $33...

    "Judge or Governor only" Lehigh Defense 45 Colt load

    I would tend to think that 7" of penetration (or 5" or any depth in that range) with a 2"(!) wound channel is going to be a fight stopper; the pain itself of that size a bullet wound has to be astronomic. And add in the rapid, large loss of blood... I mean hold a ruler up to your chest or...

    New USGI $14 30rd. Mags

    I ordered mine on Jan 11 or 12 and they arrived on July 2?!? I don't think I will order from them again...

    What's a .204 rifle good for?

    "They all heat up. Unless you step down to the .22 Hornet, you're gonna have to allow cool down time. The smaller cartridges allow a couple more shots before that's necessary, but they don't cool any faster. That's why those of us who're serious about the game have multiple rifles." My...

    Medical infusion port question....

    "It's a little late now, but barring contraindications, you should have asked to have it placed in the left subclavian instead of the right." That's true, but having beeen in a similar spot a year ago; I believe that it's placed where it is so that he can drive and the seatbelt won't wreck it...

    Spam cans of ammo, how to open?

    Sure. Knowing the gun show commandos they could also be sold as a K ration can opener for the tactical-high speed low drag-operator-etc etc etc

    Spam cans of ammo, how to open?

    "I have seen places selling it saying you don't get an opener with on can, only if you get both cans in the crate. Wonder what they do with the extra ones." They're probably sold at gun shows as a tactical-army-sniper ammo can opener for $29.95.....

    When do we use the 2nd Amendment

    Yes we still have the ability to protest publicly, speak out at open political events, call, write, fax, and email your reps, bring lawsuits, donate to organizations that fight to uphold the bill of rights, volunteer with a campaign, or run for office our ownselves; however, what happens when...

    Lever gun opinions? .44 Magnum vs. .444 Marlin

    Post #7 "By the way, if you're interested in making your own high performance loads, you can swage .44 caliber bullets out of empty 40S&W cases." Please explain a bit more about this.

    Question about a Nagant Revolver.

    The two Nagant revolvers that I have must either be super rare or had serious trigger work done on them. I was expecting being unable to shoot them DA after hearing the horror stories on THR. Well they're not well broken in S&W's, but I'd say that they are at least comparable to any Ruger I've...
