The laser wanders. The trigger pulll is stiff and long. I put in an after market for $100 and it helped, but it still sucks. It has, however, been very reliable. That said, I vastly prefer the Sig P238. 1911 style pistol scaled down to 380 ACP. Great SAO trigger, safety is easy to...

Good Lord! And I thought I was bad. SOTA, you got it going on. All I do is mark the boxes and power bottles with a Marks-a-lot and do FIFO. Although, do an annual inventory on New Years day! I also have a list of everyghing I own with a battery in it. Batteres are usually cheap around...

I date my ammo boxes with purchase dates and always shoot up the oldest first. But I'm in a bit of pickle with some of it. I don't shoot THAT much. Might need to work on that!

Slamfire, that's a heck of post. The ammo in quesiton is about 10-years old. Stored mostly in the garage where in the summer it gets 105F some days. On average for the year much cooler than that, but your post is well made and point taken. Still, at only 10-years old that seems amazing it...

I'll go round it all up and try to find the lot numbers on the boxes.

Unlikely the same lot number for all boxes, but maybe. Picked it up several boxes at a time over a year. The ammo is about 10 years old, kept in the house (not too cold hot or humid).

Shot my Marlin 336 30-30 Win today using Remington 150gr Cor-Lokts. The first three (only shot 3) brass cracked in the taper from the shoulder up to base of the neck. One of them had two cracks. Now this factory ammo, but I've heard of such with reloads due to annealing issues, multiple...

Pan fried cinamin rolls. A little butter in the pan. Fry on both sides till crispy. Christmas morning tradition!

The only problem with Perfeta is that it IS $17/box. Reload for aobut $6. Often less if you snag bulles on sale.

No exaclty following that. $135 for $40 coverage?

Renew with the NRA and then get supplemental as needed. NRAs price is competitive. If you don't keep all your guns in one place, the likelyhood of total loss is mitigated. For instance, I have a revolver secured in each vehicle and a rifle at my Mom's house for a little hunting if I happen to...

Working on old guns is a hobby. Thus: Money is not the object. Having fun is! Go for it. Just figure out how much the total is going to be before you start.

Cant' much argue with the comments above: 44 cal at 900 fps is a tad anemic. Thast about like a current 38 Special +P. Not an awe inspiring fight stopper, but I do carry one as my CCW. All that said, if I had 6 shots of 44 round ball shooting it at across the room distances I'd feel pretty...

Yes, the imbedded pillars. It was an ADL and now converting to a BDL with the Medalist. Not sure, but I think the pillars are just part of the aluminum block. As it was received, the pillars are high enough that the bottom metal does not go up flush into the stock. I think that extra...

So I've got all the parts for converting my trusty 700 ADL to a BDL. The stock is a B&C Medalist. I need to remove about 1/8" off of the "pillars" so the new trigger guard is nice and flush with the bottom of the stock. Of course, the pillars are part of the aluminum block. The best way would...
