    A curious experience with Gunbroker

    I bid on an item once. Won it. As soon as the auction ended I got messaged by the seller that the item had been listed for the wrong price so they weren’t going to complete the sale. I looked into this behavior and found that it is pretty common on GB with no real recourse other than...

    Gunbroker with A+ and only 1 sale

    I would also pass And have done so in quite a few similar instances. I nearly always only buy from the labeled FFLs on GB and even then only with decent feedback history.

    Tax Returns Gun Prices ++ Up

    As I posted earlier. I guess I need to add an emoji.

    White River primers showing up in the wild.

    No clue they didn’t just start making LRPs right out of the gate. So great more SPP for me to walk past.

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    I would use the current 280 as my “mountain rifle”. There is wisdom is using what you already have….even if it goes against the conventional wisdom of this board which goes something like “there’s no such thing as too many guns” or “just get them both”.

    Over heard at a local gun range.

    Though I accept the reality you are laying out here for us and I agree that there is and has been a general lack of availability of ammo since 2008, the fact is, I never had to experience a line like that to buy ammo. That is because I bought my ammo during times when it was available and in...

    Chicago Sues Glock

    For some reason, no one wants to admit to or then implement a strategy to combat “people problems”. I see it at my work. I see it in personal social situations. I see it in law. I see it in government. So many people problems are trying to be solved by manipulating or implementing new...

    Ruger mk2 vs mk4?

    I had always lusted after a SS MK II slab side. I could never find one in over 10 years of looking for a price I wanted to pay. When I seriously, went looking for a MK series pistol, the MK IV had recently been released. I’m not a brand new gun kind of guy so I figured that one was out of the...

    Tax Returns Gun Prices ++ Up

    That was thoroughly tongue in cheek on my part. We are 12 years in on a 30 year mortgage with 1.5 years to go.

    454 the most versatile 45 caliber

    In case anyone is wondering, I took possession of my Browning 1885 in 454 Casull and it has a 1:24 twist barrel.

    Marlin experts needed- 336TS with 18.5" barrel and no cross bolt safety

    That is a normal 336 price and since this one is a much more uncommon TS it would be well worth the price.

    Is Glock the Colt 1911 of the 1980s & earlier?

    I’m a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Glocks just work for me. Literally and philosophically. I too want to ask what features everyone is looking for. Gen 3 Glocks are perfect for me and I really can’t think of anything I want that would have trade offs elsewhere. I have or have owned models...

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    I pick Decelerators most of the time and have only used a KickEze when I needed longer LOP as the KickEze comes in longer sizes than the Decelerators. I am pretty recoil tolerant so the extra padding the KickEze offers has never been pertinent to my needs. As @LoonWulf says above the KickEze...

    Looks like Paul Harrell is coming to the end of his road...

    Whenever he prefaced something with “and this is the part where I talk a lot” I settled in and eagerly awaited what he had to say. Never got bored.

    so called cowboy "assault rifles"

    It’s just a fun thing to compare them to. Lever guns neither won the west nor were the most common firearm on the western frontier. Their historical context has been as romanticized as piracy in the Caribbean. They are just a fun action type with historical significance.

    I tend to think reading and maybe even responding to the comments section of their content is quite enough firearms social media for the average gun toober

    Looks like Paul Harrell is coming to the end of his road...

    True experts tend to get annoyed when a bunch of rank amateurs like us start spouting opinions on things it is obvious we have no experience with. It happens in online forums of all subjects and in everyday encounters. I personally, don’t like talking about any of the skills and knowledge I...

    Bolt thrust is a thing. But you are likely correct.
