    Original Winchester Model 1886 questions

    Doing some research and need help. http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/beautiful-winchester-1886-deluxe-rifle-w9407/ EDIT - Nevermind. A minute after posting this I found the information I was looking for.

    Why can't Jesse James go away?

    No kidding! I always roll my eyes when I see things like the Zombie ammo. It's not my thing, but I tend to be more frugal with my money. :)

    Independence Aluminum case 9mm

    I ordered 700 rounds of it during that deal early this week also. I've got several hundred pounds of brass in my basement since I don't reload, and decided why bother buying more expensive ammo I'm not gonna re-use the casings on? I plan on running some of it through a Glock early next week...

    Surviving USMC Survival School

    You guys are very welcome. I've an odd sense of humor for sure. lol. But I think it's useful to keep this in mind. I know there's a mentality out there of, "If society falls apart I'll head for the hills". Regardless of how you tart it up, that's you becoming a refugee. Granted, we had...

    Massad Ayoob, MAG 20 Class coming to the Charlotte, NC area

    The registering just to post this, preen your feathers, then sell a course is obnoxious. That aside, I'd love to meet/listen to Massad Ayoob. I've got a few of his books.

    Surviving USMC Survival School

    This is a 5 part article I wrote for a Survival Blog contest. There's no voting or anything, so I'm not looking for that. I'm just sharing an experience. I suppose I should give a disclaimer. Once I submitted this, the copy-right went to Survival Blog. It's not something I can cut and paste...

    do you even med kit bro?

    I carry a USMC IFAK attached to my range bag. Individual First Aid Kit. From my days in the glorious corps. I've another I'll put in the car now that I think about it. As for training, meh. I've spent some time with a corpsman, but regretfully I never got to go through Combat Lifesaver. I...

    Best way to store handgun in car

    I use a Tuffy Security Glove Box console in my Wrangler. :) They also offer an under-driver-seat box that would work pretty good for most pistols. Doesn't raise the seat either.

    CMP 1911's another step closer

    No one seems excited about the Beretta M9's that could come potentially through CMP. :rofl:

    .56-56 or .56-50 in Spencer Repeating Carbine?

    That's pretty awesome. I got to tour the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum in Cody, Wy about 10 years ago and really enjoyed it. At the time I was planning on moving their to be a Peace Officer. I'd just like to hold it in my hands and look down the sights. :)

    Great Deal on a Century G3

    If PTR is involved you know it's some better quality stuff than CETME used to put out. I've been eyeballing their stuff for a few years now. You are looking at a .308 battle rifle for the price of a Glock, or better if you rate the discount. That's mighty hard to turn down.

    Perfecta ammo at Walmart

    Not to brag, but I just bought 700 rounds of aluminum cased 9mm at $14.99/100 from Palmetto State Armory for $105(on sale from $15.99/100 usually). By going in with a buddy(who bought 7 boxes also), we got free shipping by ordering more than 10 boxes. Since I don't reload and have a ridiculous...

    Gun show prices ,back to pre-election levels?

    I've become very -bored- with gun shows over the past 5 years or so. To the point where last months will probably be the last one I attend. With the Internet, it's easier to price check and fairly convenient. If you buy enough ammo you can usually avoid the shipping charge. But it seems like...

    Negligent Discharge Injury At Denver Gunshow

    That eerie quiet moment after a round gets popped off when it shouldn't be. -shudder- Sadly there seems to be a common theme, poor gun handling skills even by those who SHOULD know better. We had a local dealer put a laser on a Glock than point it at his hand to show the customer and pulled...

    .56-56 or .56-50 in Spencer Repeating Carbine?

    Ohh! That is a neat twist. I'll have to dig into that! Thanks!

    Believable but still UNBELIEVABLE

    Probably some people who watched a Dirty Harry movie once.

    spending big $ on hunting guns?

    Last season I took my recently deceased Grandpa's 1953 Winchester Model 94 out to the woods for the first time and bagged a nice buck. He had slain 62 years worth of deer with it, in Michigan and North Carolina. Had owned it since it was brand new, and it was in 99% condition. A beautiful...

    CMP 1911's another step closer

    I know I've talked about this in another thread, but very few gives a hoot about M16A1's as part kits or complete. Why bother when we can buy new make AR's for ~$400 now? As for the M14's, bring what few Clinton didn't destroy on back! Hopefully with Haji kills notched in the stocks from...
