That is great news. I look forward to buying an 1895 from them. 45-70 has been my latest reloading obsession.

I like using powders that can't be double charged without overflowing or filling the case for this exact reason. I have partially used pound of Titegroup that will probably never be used again. I overcharged one round using it years ago and fortunately it was a 38 SPL that I fired in a 357 Mag revolver. I did pull the entire batch and only that one round was overcharged.

Why bother? If you don't really know it is a scam and you haven't been affected it really isn't your problem. Do you know it is a scam? I have sold guns for less than the market value and it wasn't a scam. Gunbroker are big boys and can handle issues.

Does anybody here ever substitute small or large pistol magnum primers for small or large pistol primers? I see a lot of people saying that you must reduce the load when doing this by 10%. I use Winchester primers quite a bit that say they are good for regular or magnum loads and have never had an issue with either. There is a lot of anecdotal information posted but I have never seen real difference. The reason I am asking is that I have a lot (1000's) of magnum primers and am down to 7000 small pistol primers and have been considering using the magnum primers. There are some powders that cannot be safely reduced by 10% (W296 and H110).

I checked as soon as I saw this post and saw the same, sold out except for 209.

I handgun hunt, no VP9 is superior to any of the revolvers I use. The VP9 is infinitely inferior from this perspective.

The standard (non ban state) C2 comes with three flush-fit 120mm (16rd) magazines. I also bought three 126mm 17rd magazines that stick out a little (6mm)

I feel for anyone that has to buy s**tty restricted mags. I hope this doesn't happen to the rest of us free Americans as a result of the election.

I have one and really like it. It is fun to shoot, accurate enough, and very reliable. Even most that are marked .223 are safe to shoot 5.56 (this is according to Ruger).

I picked up the Model 15-2 on Friday. It is a really nice shooting gun. The S/N puts this as made in 1965. I shot both 148gr wadcutters and 158gr LSWC and both shot very accurately. This is my first Model 15 and I can say there will be more.

It is inexcusable for NJ to not be able to process a NICS check in minutes. VA is a point of sale state and I have been buying quite a few guns lately. The check has never taken more than 5-7 minutes. The state of NJ should be sued for this. How can all of the other POS states perform the NICS check the same day and NJ cannot?

I just received 8lbs of AA#9 yesterday from Powder Valley. It was ordered on 1/4 after reading this pos. I have been looking for this powder because I recently used AA#9 in 10mm, 357mag, 44 mag, and 500 S&W and was very pleased with the results. I normally use W296/H110 and have about 7lbs of W296 left but I really like the versatility of the AA#9 and could not pass up the opportunity. They did not gouge either, price was $168 for 8lbs total was 201.90 after shipping and hazmat.. I have been paying around $34lb locally but it hasn't been available.

I have a few of them, I can't seem to pass by a good deal. 44 mag and 357 mag are my main weaknesses when it come to S&W revolvers.

I am in VA and the shop is a mom and pop store. They don't sell online as far as I know.

It is my local gun shop. I happened to stop in the day the guns were put on display. I may go back today to see a few more. They had a really nice Model 57 4" and a Model 29 no dash, and a Model 17 that are all in really nice shape. The guy that passed away was a serious collector.

Here are my latest estate sale guns I just picked up on Thursday. A 6" 629-1 and a 686-3. I was going to put the stock grips that were in the box back on the 629 but after shooting it yesterday will be keeping the grips that are on it. The 629 has and incredible trigger and shoots very accurate. I did not shoot the 686 yet, but it seems to be just as smooth. I had the LGS set aside a S&W 15-2 4" along with a Model 25 Mountain gun for me on lay away. The store has 180 guns from the collection, mostly S&W pre-lock revolvers and a decent number of Ruger revolvers. I additions there were a few Les Baers, Colt 1911's and Colt Delta 10mm's.

I started reading this and it looks like legal jerk-offedness to me. I do not believe judges anymore. Judges have shown that they are all about self interest. I used to believe in the system but see that it is rotten to the core.

After having the gun for a couple of weeks I can now say that this is the best autoloading pistol I own. It is extremely accurate and easy to shoot. I do not find the grip slippery at all. The grip is very positive. I do not like overly aggressive grip texturing and this is just about right for me. The only negative about the gun is the cost and availability of magazines.

I have been known to reload till they split, normally shotgun and 38SPL.

Leupold does have a variable 1.5-4 power scout scope. It is very reasonably priced and the quality is excellent. It is the VX-Freedom Scout 1.5-4x2.

I have a Leupold fixed 2.5 power scout scope on my Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle, a Leupold 1.5-4 variable scout scope on my Steyr Scout rifle, and a Vortex 2-7 scout scope on my M1A Scout. I really like the EER setup and shoot it really well. It is very fast for target acquisition and also very accurate. I like the both eyes open shooting with the increased light gathering and magnification of the scopes. It doesn't take much to get used to and feels very natural to me. Almost feels like shooting with my younger eyes.

I went with the regular C2 due to the fact that I am still on the fence with red dots. The only gun I have with a red dot id the P320 X5 Legion and it has been an ok gun. I am still having a hard time not focusing on the front sight and red dots feel unnatural to me. I don't really like them on my ARs either (prefer low powered scopes instead). I really like the grip on the C2. I don't find it slippery at all. The one thing I had to adjust to is that when I shoot a 1911 I like to rest my right hand thumb on the thumb safety but doing this with the C2 shifts my hand off the grip safety a little bit. I will shoot it some more this weekend and be able to give a more informed opinion on it.

I received a phone on Friday from the gun shop letting call letting me know that my C2 was in and ready for me to pick it up. I shot it this weekend and put 100rds of mixed factory and reloads (115 and 124 grain). The gun functioned flawlessly. I think that this of going to me my daily carry gun. It is very accurate and east to shoot. The second pic is with a Glock 19 for size reference.

I am not sure how easy that would be. It would probably be a lot easier to buy a pre-lock S&W revolver. To me the pre-lock revolvers are far better than the current models. I still buy S&W's with the locks. The look doesn't bother me.

I personally like .and hunt deer with 270, 30-30, .308, .30--06, 44 mag, and 450 Bushmaster. We are required to use a minimum of .23 caliber in VA. I am not sure about .223 for deer. Can they kill a deer, yes, but so can a 22LR. The only bullet I would use with a .223 for deer would be something like a Barnes TSX solid copper bullet. I like a slower big bullet for deer. My cleanest kills have been with bigger slower bullets. I would choose a modern inline muzzleloader over a .223 every time.
