I remember reading a gun rag about 50 years ago about going hog hunting with a handgun, kinda out of the ordinary back then. The author talked about always taking a long gun with you so when you pissed off the hog you would have something to stick in the ground and climb to get away from it...

I will run this through one more time and I will pay the shipping.

Sale pending.

Brand new set. I got these and sold the rifle before I could mount them. $60 shipped. Here is the Midway link. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1009094311?pid=996226 I live in Mill Spring but drive toward Asheville once or twice a week and can meet somewhere along there if that helps. Thanks...

I have a bucket of dirty wheel weights. There is other junk in there, I've not gone through it, it's just like it came from the tire store. I've had it forever and figured I'm not getting into casting now. The scales say the bucket and all is 78 lbs. I would think there is 40-50 lbs of lead. I...

Mine would carry but she would never pull it out and use it if needed, so why bother?

The primer size in the picture is way too small, got to be just some kind of made up thing.

I have a SS with the small factory grips and finally found a set of the larger factory grips to replace them. I need a slightly longer screw for the thicker grips, probably about 1/8" longer than the one for the small grips. Where could I find one? Are screws from different manufactures the...

If you don't like those grips and prefer the smaller factory grips, hit me up and I will trade you.

I agree. I'm sure the market sets the price, but I swear some times the seller has friends bid just to drive up the price.

Louie, I have sent pm's, but I'm not positive they are going through. If not, please let me know here. Thank you.

Since Ruger came out with the LCP 2, which I think is a nice improvement, do you think a LC9 2 will be far behind? To me it would make sense, but it may just be wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I will either have to put a scope on it or sell it to someone that will use it more than I will. :cry:

A couple of months ago I FINALLY got the No. 1 in 45-70 I had wanted since I was about 15 years old. I rounded up the stuff to make ammo for it and headed out to put some holes in paper. I learned that my eye sight simply will not let me shoot open sights any more, it simply wouldn't work. I...

While shopping for cast bullets for my 45-70 about half the ones out there are .458 and the other half are .459. Since I don't know the precise diameter of my barrel, which one should I go with? Does it even make a difference? This is for use in a No. 1, if that matters any. Thanks guys.
