    Every day for this entire year I will post old school printed gun ads each day.

    Those crazy prices and mailed to your house, no need for the .gov to get involved. I have a 357 Atomic. Current value 9-10x that ad price.

    Anybody shoot .300 Savage

    I have my grandfathers 99 in 300 savage and my brother has our other grandfathers 99 in 300 savage. Both 40s vintage rifles. Between those 2 rifles they have taken elk, black bear, pigs and too many deer to count. It’s perfectly fine for anything you’d hunt at a reasonable range in this country...

    Do you let people borrow guns?

    Loaned My LNIB German sig 220 to a friend for the firearms portion who was putting himself through POST academy to become a reserve cop. He had been a sworn officer 20 years previously. Got my sig back scratched up and filthy. Magazines had been dinged up. I had trusted him and he didn't even...

    shotgun guys help me - shotguns for scout camp

    Another Eagle Scout here and The offer made above is very fair and generous. I really can't believe 1 870 let alone a bunch of them are being shot out. I'd have the 870s looked over and cleaned and tuned if necessary. I too spent about 9 summers at scout camp including the summer I turned 20...

    "Rifleman's Rifle"

    Nice rifle collection! I'm. Jealous I only have my late 50s m70 in 30-06 and I was given a recent production super grade in 25-06 as a gift from my gun mentor. i do know a guy with a super grade in 220 swift pre 64. He had lots of interesting M70s. Including 7mm Mauser that he used to kill...

    Colt AR-15 OEM

    I have a 6720 upper and prefer it to my 6920 upper colt. It's 1/7 pencil barrel in case you are wondering. I don't do any sustained fire and the thin barrel just handles a bit better and feels not as front heavy as the 6920. I have iron sights via a colt carry handle on the 6920 and eotech on...

    Ruger .44 mag carbine

    I have an older no warning barrel. It's dead on at 50ish yards with winchester white box 240 grains. I have a fixed leupold 3 power on it. As noted It's a bear to take apart and clean and God forbid you break a part ruger quit making parts years ago.

    How Rare?

    I sold a red pad, tang safety ruger 77 in 358 over 5 years ago on a local gun board. I still get guys occasionally PM'ing me if it's atill available. Maybe I sold it too cheap. I was at a gun show maybe 15 years ago and a guy had a table full of pre64 win 70. Most were plain 30-06 and 270...

    question on oiling, how often and how much?

    As long as you dont leave it in the holster wet you should be ok. Wipe it down after you take it out each night. Most any oil will work in a pinch.

    Aldon Smith, So much for blind justice!

    This is local here and I'm a niners fan. But come on. If it was me or any of my gun buddies caught with a non registered assut weapon ? See ya in a few years. I'm seriously I treated why the Feds aren't interested how he, a CA resident waltzed into an AZ gun store and bought the guns, as I...

    Do used guns sell for used prices in your area?

    We don't have true private party sales here in Ca but I have met lots of guys online and the at the FFL to do a deal and complete paperwork. Saves sales tax for one. That's could be $90 on a 1000 purchase. Here. Also. Older guns are usually made better. My LGS has a rule of strict blue book...
