I have a Taurus 608. 8 shot, N frame, ported, 357 with a 6 1/2 inch made in 2004. Zeke, HE, and Peel have shot it. The weight and porting make it totally manageable with 357s. Trigger is as good as any out of the box S&W. I usually take it when I'm shooting rifles. 50, 100, and even 200 yards. It would be the Raging Hunter without the rail.

Mel Brooks!!! A comic genius!!! "The Producers" is one of the funniest movies ever made. I've seen it at least 20 times. Having seen it is one thing. Then I saw it on Broadway. You have to see the "Dancing Swastika" live!!!

If you read the early Bond novels, Bond went commando before that was a term

It was required in the 70s to my experience. It was required to be filled out but not required to be kept for private purchases. If you bought from a FFL the FFL was required to keep it. I wouldn't worry about it. Too many people have guns they inherited, guns they purchased when they lived out of state before they moved to NJ, and guns acquired legally in other ways that there is no paper trail. Don't worry about it.

According to my research these headstamps were started for export contracts. France for one country. The 033 would be a lot number and 10 would be for 2010. Finding these headstamps here would indicate an over run of ammo or just cases for export.

My cooking skills may leave something to be desired. I know how to sharpen. I learned how from a Texan about 4 0 years ago!!!!

Ask Murphy. He probably needs a bit of stimulus to do this. When he first ordered the lock down my club closed the indoor range and required social distancing on the outdoor ranges then (probably after consultation) shut down the club.

You don't need any "implied sign" to tell an intruder you don't want him or her to break in. If it's not their place and no one is there it's burglary. If someone there it's robbery. You can't shoot someone who broke your window and offers no threat. You are allowed to defend yourself in your home at any time unless the state has a must retreat law. Even then if you have no way to escape you can defend yourself. How you defend yourself is the question. If you encounter the intruder and they turn and run you can't shoot them. You can use deadly force when there is no other alternative to prevent death or serious injury to yourself or another. Everything else is in between and is dependent on the totality of the circumstances. No short answer to your question.

If you feel safer doing that fine. I've never felt the need to do that. Interesting you mention removing the cylinder on a S&W. A lot of people don't know how to do it. Just like a lot of people think the screw holding in the mainspring is a "trigger pull adjustment screw".

When I've found myself in a similar situation I've paid the FFL or sometimes the private seller in full and waited out my 30 days. I guess I'm a very good judge of character as I've never been screwed doing this.

Yes they may not protect you but all your links say they will prevent you spreading it to some degree if you have it. That's the issue with this. It's one of those things you can have but never suffer symptoms. One article said cloth face masks are only 3% effective. I'll take any edge I cam get. Read up about Thyphoid Mary. She was still carrying thyphoid when she died. https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tDP1TfISinONWD04impLMjIz0xRyE0sqgQAXv8IHQ&q=typhoid+mary&oq=thypoi&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0j46j0.3771j0j7&client=ms-android-att-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Zeke, you can do it!!!

Just be nice!!!

The governor SD gets it but it seems you don't. She says, "SD is not NY" and mentions that it is sparsely populated. Very different demographics. Not shutting down hasn't helped SD. Corona cases went up 218% last week. A month ago they had 9 cases and now they have 730.

I do know links have been reused at times. The Army was recycling links from training ranges in Vietnam in 1968. As the troops were being more and more issued M16s there was a lot of 7.62 NATO in ammo dumps that weren't going to be used in M14s. They reused the links to use this ammo for M60s. The Vietnamese would pick up abandoned brass. Not to reload but to use as the raw material for other things. That brass Buddha a GI bought as a souvenir was very likely made from melted down 50 caliber brass.

For starters your math is flawed. You imply 99% of the population should get on with their lives. That's basically what Comrade DeBlassio said at the beginning of March. That sure worked out for them didn't it? You claim to be a Constituionalist. "Promote the general welfare" is in the preamble. While I think some of these restrictions are excessive most of them "promote the general welfare". Read all the Constitution. Not just the parts that support your agenda.

I'm sure what the guy meant is that it was sold to be reloaded commercially. Not reloaded for military use. I checked my Ammunition Handbook of the era you served. There is no DODAC (DOD Ammunition Code) for any reloaded ammo. DODACs are assigned to all ammunition available to all branches of the military.

I like mine fried a little blacker! I've liked Spam since I was a kid (over 100 years!). When I got to my unit near the DMZ in Vietnam life was very spartan. We ate B rations (all canned stuff) twice a day (if we were lucky) and the rest of our diet was C rations. I found I liked powdered eggs. If seemed most of the time we had two meats. Spam and bologna all from cans. I still didn't tire of Spam and still eat it. Spam is very popular in Vietnam. My brother works in Saigon. He sent me a photo. The only things with one of those anti-theft tags on in the store...we're cans of Spam.

When were you in? What branch? I was AD, NG, and Reserve Army from 1967 to 2009. I never encountered any reloaded ammo anywhere during that time. I said sold for scrap. I should have been more specific. It was sold as "scrap" to mostly commercial reloading companies. Thousands of pounds at a time. This was reloaded by them and sold on the commercial market. Not back to the military. There was a period of time during the Obama administration that they changed the category of fired cases and no longer could be sold as such. They started to shred the brass so it was really scrap. I believe they changed this and continue to sell to commercial reloading companies. Many market it as remanufactured ammo. Marksmanship units often load their own ammo for competitions. The NG had 1911s for some time after the M9 was adopted. I remember at one point, before we got M9s, we got Israeli 45 ACP ammo for quals. Never any reloads.

No, sold as scrap.

I HAVE MY PANTS ON!!!

Not a low blow. It's preparing for the mission. I met a guy over 30 years ago. He was a Vietnam LRRP (Google that if you don't know what that is). He loved that stuff but after being wounded he was put out on disability. After a few years of bumming, he got a bug, scrapped up enough to fly to Paris, and joined the French Foreign Legion. He signed the contract, in French, although he didn't speak a word of French. Told me lots of stories but one thing sticks out. He wound up in the 2nd REP, Parachute Regiment, and in 1978 was tasked to.jump.into the Congo. The only guarantee the Legion gave him was they wouldn't be resuppulied for 2 days. What did he and his buddies do? They threw out all rations from their kit and replaced it with ammo. They knew they would survive without food for two days but they might not without ammo. Was he a warrior? No doubt. Was he a good guy ? Don't know. Haven't seen him since. Prepare for the threat and the situation.

Not at all. I have a few months food supply. Make it longer if I still have power to run my freezer. Canned food lasts 2-3 years. I'm not humping it anywhere.

It's a nice package that gets you started for minimal outlay. If you decide reloading isn't for you, you could sell the package and get most of your money back. If you decide to really get into progressive presses and such there is always a need for a single stage. Lee makes quality stuff. Their customer service is greatm

When one gets older and wiser they plan for contingencies.
