I bought my dad an older "squirrel stock" Marlin Model 60 with a 4x scope, and it's great. I have a ten year old Model 60SS (stainless finish, laminate stock) which is very nice and quite accurate. It's a little heavier. I used to have a 795. Compared to the two 60s, it was lighter and felt...

At the <$100 price point, I have ALG QMS triggers in some of my ARs https://algdefense.com/quality-mil-spec-trigger-qms.html Two of them fit in your price point :p They are single-stage, better-than-mil-spec mil-spec triggers.

If I HAD to? I typically try NOT to - been working on caliber consolidation too long! But if so, these would be possible... 7.5x55 - Swiss K31 (shot one before; neat rifle) 45LC - SAA of some flavor (currently have Ruger Blackhawk with 38/357 and 9mm cylinders)

I have both. My PSAs look and feel (the finish) a little better than the Andersons.

North Carolina also.

You must have bought the compact model. If you did, then yes: the "rings" are to slip on the bottom of a 17-round full-size mag so that you can use it in the 15-round compact model.

All of 'em. Because I wish I had started shooting sooner.

Ha! Range time itself is in such short supply for me, between work and elder care, that I have NEVER been able OR willing to spend any of it cleaning. My range times are too short to shoot six different firearms, unless I just picked them up, used pre-loaded mags, and fired relatively fast...

I would have told myself to GET STARTED SOONER. Because I didn't until later in life.

OP, you have gotten lots of good advice here. Perhaps I can add to that. Background: Electrical engineer with BS, MS, PhD. I grew up on a dairy farm. I'm 51 now. Besides EE courses, I took many not-required classes in ceramic engineering, physics (optics, astronomy), and geology. I had...

I've visited Oregon, but I went to grad school in Boulder. I do miss it. Concerning firearms, they seem generally, approximately equal. Regarding liberal content of the population...ditto :D I think this mostly comes down to weather and scenery, and geographical distances to other parts of...

Congratulations! That's super impressive. Extremely rare these days to be at a company for so long. Many people will not even have that opportunity due to closings, layoffs, etc.

That gas cylinder wrench is fine. I have that one and it fits. Be aware that some (I had a blue one from Fulton) do not fit ALL gas cylinders; my blue one fit my WWII Springfield service grade, but did NOT fit my HRA service grade special). I learned at an M1 Clinic (which is a GREAT thing...

Very interesting! And there is a poll. Currently running 499-305 against selling the book. Light it up.

Two of the "myths" (perhaps "exaggerations" is a better word) I was glad to see dispelled... 1. The 45ACP in a 1911 didn't knock me on my butt and break every bone in my hand. 2. The 7.62x54R in a Mosin-Nagant didn't knock me on my butt and break every bone in my shoulder. I enjoy shooting both!

Well, I do have a large supply of spit :D I do intend to make it as simple as I can. Thanks all, and keep 'em coming!

OK, it does look more rugged. How about that multipiece brass rod? Is that OK compared to a one-piece?

Keep it coming. I'm homing in on powder, primers, patches, lube, and balls. Looking for recommendations for these following items. I put some links there - are those OK? powder flask - This one looks OK...

I shoot a lot of centerfire and rimfire rifle and pistol, and some shotgun, in regular smokeless cartridges. But I recently came into some black powder firearms, and I need help... I have scoured this forum and others, and have gathered some info, such as "starter kits are generally junk," and...

The "worst guns" in my collection are ones I inherited from my grandfather, and thus am unable to get rid of for sentimental reasons, and no direct descendants to pass them on to beyond my niece, who doesn't care. Mainly shotguns. One is a single-shot 410 H&R; it was given to him when he was...
