When I bought my Mini I found a Pawn Shop/Gun Store in my town that had about 40 Ruger mags of varying capacities (up to 30 rounds) and had them reasonably priced ($30 each if I remember correctly) and as advised above, they work great. Maybe look around a little, but not on the internet.

When my brothers and I were young 60 or so years ago we had 2 - .22 rifles at our disposal, an old Winchester pump and a Remington bolt action. We shot the crap out of them and never cleaned them at all as much as I can remember. My brother still has them and while the Winchester's bolt is loose...

The only negative thing I can see is that the barrel must be pinned as I don't see a wedge. Having a single wedge Hawken style makes cleaning a lot easier than having 8 or 9 individual pins like my Brown Bess. What a pain. Even with that it looks like you got a deal.

If you remove the forearm piece from the double barrel shot gun there should be some identification information under the barrels.

There is the remains of a breech loading cannon from an old Spanish ship in the museum at Grand Turk that looks very similar, only it was about 6' long.

Interesting that you got left to right movement with the charge increase. Don't pay any attention to the peanut gallery, I like to use the commercial round cleaning patches for shooting patches when I am just fooling around. They are cheap, convenient, and work just fine.

Is it spring or air powered? Years ago I bought a Crossman Pellet pistol to dispatch the rabbits that were using my garden as a buffet line so I put a target on a piece of hardboard and hung it on my fence for target practice. The first pellet I fired hit the bull dead center and ricocheted...

The gang of four made a commitment to change Colorado's politics and financed it. The group included the current governor and Pat Stryker who inherited billions.

I don't know where any of you came up with the misdemeanor idea, all I can find about punishment for buying or selling anything in the defined or named weapons is this: The bill defines the term "assault weapon" and prohibits a person from manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, offering...

Nobody understands the importance of our Second Amendment better than those who have lived under tyrants or Marxist regimes. My wife and I once shared a dinner table on a cruise ship with a woman who had left the former Soviet Union and came to America before President Obama was elected. She...

Congress shall make no law.... I think that would also apply to state legislatures. Update: I just spoke with my Representative and he believes the Governor is pressuring the Senate to kill the bill so he doesn't have to take a stand either against the bill, potentially angering his rabid...

One of those good/bad things happened last week when an Obama appointed federal judge in Chicago ruled that illegal immigrants also have Second Amendment rights so they can protect themselves from criminals. It amazed me that she ruled that an illegal has Second Amendment rights but the law says...

The one small hope we have is that the Governor will not sign it as he has aspirations of running for POTUS in the future and total gun bans won't float an electoral college majority.
