I had a 2 week love affair with an AR-15 before I came back to my senses. During that time I realized that I would not be able to afford to feed it. Traded it for a nice Marlin 1894 45 LC.

Thanks Thanks everyone. I'll pass this knowledge on to my BIL.

The magazine is very real. I was able to insert several regular 9mm rounds into it. However, I did not see anything that looked like it would fire a cap or anything else. However, it might actually eject the rounds form the mag. What does PFC stand for?

Very observant folks. We do know it is not a real firearm. The only markings on it are "Made in Japan"....dead giveaway. There is no rifling in it and there is a built-in obstruction in the barrel. It appears to a knowledgeable friend of mine to be a very well made TOY. But we are all...

My brother-in-law was given a pistol by his friend. His friend got it from the wife of a friend who just passed away. I know what it looks like, but not familiar with them. It seems to be missing a part or two. Any one know anything much about these...

I've owned 4 45-70's (Marlin 1895G, Marlin 1895CB, Ruger #1, and H&R Buffalo Classic.) I only have 2 now, the Marlin 1895 CB my favorite to hold, carry, admire, and own.....and the H&R Buffalo Classic.....my favorite to shoot at targets just for fun. If I ever had to go down to one I'd keep...

Went to Cabelas today to see what they might have after doing some research and reading everyone's comments. Long story short everything I was interested in was on sale so I left them $1,275 and left with an XD-S 9MM (mine was just made so hopefully whatever the recall was is prior to mine), an...

I just looked at the Franklin Arsenal Trim Center and liked what I saw, until I read this in one of the reviews....... "One issue, it only trims bottle neck brass so any brass such as 45-70 straight case you will have to do it the old fashioned way." The majority of the cases I trim are...

Embarrassed......I do have the Harbor Freight digital calipers. Don't know why I mentioned the plastic ones I bought in 1974 and have not used for reloading in several years. I actually used the HB ones tonight on the 444 cases I was sizing. The Case Prep station and the powder measure scale...

I've decided to take the cash from my last rifle I sold and instead of buying another rifle upgrade some of my equipment. I do not reload in large quantities and I enjoy doing things kind of slow and methodical, BUT I am doing more reloading all the time and certain tasks seem to be taking more...

All good advice. Yes I am not a serious goose hunter. May never even get the chance. A friend of mine bought some blinds and decoys and wants to start, but he is so busy it may never happen. I think I'll sell the long barrel and just do with the IC barrel and 2 3/4" steel shells if I get a...

Thanks for the good news. I doubt I will get a chance to goose hunt often anyway so I hated to have to buy another shotgun or barrel. Since all I really hunt with a shotgun is dove and occasionally quail, is their really any need for me to have the 30" full choke barrel chambered for 3", or...

I just bought a used Remington 870 Magnum 12 ga. It has 2 barrels. An improved cylinder barrel (fixed choke) and a full choke barrel (fixed choke). I bought this gun thinking I might get a chance to go goose hunting this year and all I had was a 20 ga with improved cylinder. I figured the...
