    S&W 64 dash numbers

    A local pawn shop has 3 LE turn in S&W model 64s, a -3, -5, and -8. I definitely want one but don't know which one. I'm aware Smith had a period of diminished quality. Also the -8 has the internal lock. Assuming equal condition (and they're priced the same), which would be best?

    POWer Pac choke safety?

    I recently bought a J.C. Higgins Model 20 from a pawnshop. It has the POWer Pac choke with the tubes that screw into the end of a larger, vented tube on the end of the barrel. The choke tube begins an inch or two past the muzzle, leaving a gap. Will petal wads open enough in this gap to catch on...

    CRKT Stiff Kiss discontinued?

    A local sporting goods store has these for $15. I tried to research them on the CRKT web site but couldn't find them. Are they no longer being made? I picked up one today, but may go back and get another.

    Folding Knife carry?

    What other ways are there to carry folding knives but have them handy besides clipped on the front pocket? It has dawned on me that the clip is somewhat of a giveaway, particularly when it contrasts with the pants. For example a worn bare silver clip on new jeans or black clip on khakis. Like...

    Which Lyman rifle?

    Monday I was out looking for parts to repair the mower and stopped in a pawn shop under the theory of 'All work and no play....' I intended to look for Linux compatible printers but drifted over to the gun counter when that didn't pan out. They have a Lyman Deerstalker, .54 percussion, looks...

We live on 5 acres in the rural area of the county on a little traveled road. My 16 year old son had witnessed this directly. The story I got was this: Around...
