I’m glad to see that there are white black bears…. Read a biography of a mountain man and he kept talking about white bears in TX and NM and I couldn’t figure it out… I’ve done a bunch of backpacking in KY and NM over the years. Always with Boy Scouts and never had a gun. We have stumbled on...

Now I want one of those... I really like the 17 HMR

What’s the 3 screw?

I remember Gibson’s in Lawton in the 90s when I was at Fort Sill. Haven’t thought about that store in close to 30 years....

I picked up a super single six a few months ago for $275 on gunsinternational. It had been converted. That’s how I became aware of how to tell by the trigger. I can see yours has the new trigger by the taper....I paid for a kit and Rugerguy fixed me up so I have a 4 click shooter single six...

On that same page is a SN by year lookup. You go to Blackhawk and it will list production SN by year.

On Rugers website you can find SN range per year. Or on newer ones type in the SN and it will tell you.

I have powder that I bought in the mid 90s that I still use. Stored in a garage or shed 0° temperatures to summertime highs of probably 110 in there. So totally not what you were supposed to do and I have never had a problem high humidity. Also, it's been 20 years in either Arkansas or Mississippi.

I actually saw and held a 75th 10-22 today. It was ok. The only 75th on it was on the bolt.

On the Ruger website they do have blued and Walnut 75th anniversary 10-22s.

I hate trying to set them up. I waste brass and bullets every time..

The only thing I have tried is 220gr fmj wiith 11.5 grains of CMF BLK. It is super quiet and accurate enough for me.

I like my Lee press. I take it with me and load on weeknights after work in hotel rooms. Relaxing for me. I can knock out a box of 44 or 357 in an hour. Obviously I can do that much faster at home on the Dillon, but it’s not a big deal. I also use it to load subs for my 300 BO. That’s no...

I just looked at an old post from 2004 where I bought a used Mini 14 and 500 rounds of ammo for $350. I know that was an old model, but dang.

I've heard the fight your way back thing. Problem is how many people who carry a 380 that small as a primary, carry a long gun that can be quickly accessed? You are at a restaurant eating, do most people really have a long gun in retrieval distance? I get it. There are times when that is all...
