    Aluminum cased ammo

    I've used it for years in many of my revolvers and semi-auto handguns with never any problem. The instruction manual that came with my Marlin 1894 44MAG lever action says not to use them as their design is incompatible with its loading system.

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    I have my share of both and I do love my S&W N frames. I have one of each that have had to go back for service. A Ruger 3 screw 30 carbine that has locked up twice while shooting it. Great service on that one the 2nd time. The gunsmith called me up to discuss the problem. I have S&W 2" 610 that...

    Blazer ammo

    Never had an issue with either the aluminum or brass cases in a number of different calibers. Only firearm I won't use it in is my Marlin 1894 .44 Mag lever action because the manual says not to.

    Georgia Arms Ammunition is up and running

    Glad to see them back. They were my go to ammo resource before the fire for a number of calibers. Unfortunately they still don't any 32 H&R Mag. I spoke to them before the fire and was told it was a problem getting small primers.

    Selling Ammunition

    When I do sell ammo it's always through Gun Broker. It's an easy process. Take a picture of the ammo and post it with the particulars. When it sells and I get payment I just box it up and generate a UPS label. Have to drop it off at a UPS Customer Service Center but the one closest to me is by...

    Manual safety on semi auto's or not?

    I would never CCW a semi-auto that when you engage the safety it drops the hammer and goes from SA to DA for the 1st shot unless the hammer spur was large enough to reset back to SA. I'm too old (78) to think about it so when I do CCW a semi-auto it's a Glock.

    32 mag

    Thx for the tip. Have none in stock right now but I bookmarked it for future reference.

    32 mag

    It's available but pricey. Cheapest I can find is 41 cents a round. For range work I shoot .32 short and longs.

    Yes. I just contacted FL & that what I was told.

    Not another .41!

    Can't have too many. .41 Mags.

    New mini14

    I had one of the Chinese models. It was the firearm that got me into serious shooting. Put a 4x32 scope on it and got 1-3 MOA with Russian ammo. Had to get rid of it when had retina detachment and doc told me to cut back on recoil.

    New guy from Maryland

    Welcome to the forum. Shared sympathy for being from Maryland. Don't expect the recent knockdown of HQL requirement to be upheld.

    The $1200 Mini 14 new at my LGS

    Paid $951 for mine (plastic stock) from GB back in April. Used ones weren't going for much less. Local Pawn/Gun shop selling it for $1059 for wood stock.
