    another .22 LR question

    just think of it like hunting deer with a .223. hit a vital organ and the fights over with. there have been probably millions of deer size "game" taken with the .22. just aim small, miss small.

    After the fact bill of sale - What would you do?

    i,ve sold very few guns in my lifetime. i have gotten the buyers name and some type of id. if it shows up at the wrong place and is traced back to me, i have something that might keep me out of trouble. in fact, with all the bs going down in dc, i,m thinking about "selling" all my firearms. oh...

    Please explain flintlocks to me

    the touch hole shouldn,t be any bigger than a 16th. best to aline the hole with the TOP of the pan. this doesn,t make much since, but you don,t want any primer against the hole.counterbored liners help speed the bang part. far as humidity, you can do the old fashion thing and stick a feather in...

    !SXS flintlock 19 (20) gauge!

    just took another close look. the touchholes are kind of low in the pan and WAY to big. God help anybody stand beside you on a firering line.

    !SXS flintlock 19 (20) gauge!

    think it might be made as a wall hanger like all those tower flintlocks that where all over the place in the early 70,s. hammers look the same. don,t think i,d try to fire it without a good BLACKPOWDER gunsmith going thru it. might also try some primer in the pans and see if the frizzens are...

    When the supply chains return to normal what's the first thing youre going to get?

    55grs, primers, powder and if brassman ever gets more .223 in, a whole bunch of that. the only person who is happy about the supplies drying up is my mail lady. she was tired of trying to pick up those"if it fits it ships" boxes.

    Text of Senate Bill to close "Gun Show Loophole"

    i have always wondered what the "gunshow loop hole" was. if your a dealer and sell at a gun show, you have to go thru the same paperwork and phone call as you do in your shop. now if they pass something that says i have to go thru an ffl to sell you one of my guns, then this is a different...

    Think I figured out why Cuomo came up with 7

    i don,t like 30 rd mags, they are heavy and throw off my balance a little. but if they made a reliable 60, i,d want one. belt fed would be even better
