Hare Trigger

I have had to run a cleaning rod down the barrel 3 times to clear the empty case because a piece of the rim bas broken off by the extractor and it wouldn't eject

Have any body checked out Q-Line Design? www.qlinedesign.com Great storage idea!

Your right, my mistake. I should have said "some steel case ammo is coated." I stand corrected.

Steel cases are coated and when you fire them they heat up and leave residue which causes the case to stick. I've had more than one case stuck in my Rock River AR before I stopped using steel. I was told it could break the extractor. I sold the remainder of a spam can and I still have a spam can of Wolf unopened. One of these days I'll either buy something that will shoot it or sell them.

I seen one at a gun show this past weekend, It was in good to fair condition and I think they were asking $150. I don't own one but for the money i think I would buy a Mosin Nagant. They are supposed to be very accurate and the ammo in readily available. For a little more $ there have been a bunch of Yugo Mausers showing up at gun shows.

I also have one in 9mm. Extremely accurate! I purchased additional mags at www.topgunsupply.com That was last year when mags were readily available and fairly inexpensive, I think I paid about $30 ea. Best of luck!

My daughter applied for her pistol permit the 17th of Jan, and I applied on the 19th of Feb. We got the call on Monday and will be picking them up tomorrow. Thats 11 weeks and a couple of days for hers and 7 weeks for me. Both from the same police station!

As stated, a reloader should have a bullet puller, or you can purchace one, pull the bullets, pour the powder in some water. If the brass isn't going to be used again for reloads you can use WD40 or any type of spray lube or oil and spray/pour some into the cases to make the primers inert. If you are going to reuse the cases you will have to boil them out "after" the primers had time to soak in the oil. The bullets can be reused, and at the very least you can use the brass for scrap. A reloader can resize the cases and trim them to the proper length.

The guy that was in front of me had a 12ga Ithica 37 Featherweight, I told him it was a shame to turn that in because it was worth more, after a while of procrastinating he decided to case it and take it home, but not before we swapped phone numbers, I told a friend and we called the guy and bought it from him later that day. 1 saved! There were a couple others I would have liked to save but I didn't want to look too obvious with all the cops around.

I turned in two junk guns on Friday at a buy back in Somerville for a $100 ea. A Friend of mine went Sat morn, the police told him that they were a little disapointed, most of the guns turned in on fri were from the elderly and most weren't in the best of shape. That goes with what I seen while I was in line, but there were a few that would break your heart!

I clean with Hoppe's #9, Break Free CLP on all the internals, and protect each firearm with Smith & Wesson Lubricant & Protector.

I went to the Valley Forge Gun Show in Warminster PA today. They had Wolf large pistol primers for 39.99 per 1K. Some venders are definately price gouging! The ammo prices were high but some were rediculous!

I bought a Mossberg 500 from my neighbor for $100. It was never fired! (till I got it)

Today I brought a cheap old double that was worthless and dangerous to shoot to a gun buy back in my area. (a little extra ammo money!) It was a shame to see the guns that were being turned in for $100. There was a guy with a Parker damascus barreled double, a couple of other guys had Browning auto 5s. One guy had two Remingtons in thier original boxes, one was a 1100 skeet. I also seen a couple of top break pistols turned in, one was a nickle plated S&W. While I was waiting in line they took out 5 blue recycle cans full of long guns and one with pistols. What a waste!!! I did save a Ithica 37 featherweight from destruction. The guy in front of me was going to turn it in and I talked him out of it. I got his info and a friend of mine bought it for $250. My good deed for the day!

I was told by a friend that NJ has subbed out the NICS checks to the state of Florida. That would make sense since it takes so long for the check and the fact everything needs to be faxed.

This was out of the mouth of Obama himself; “Right now, 90 percent of Americans – 90 percent – support background checks that will keep criminals and people who have been found to be a danger to themselves or others from buying a gun. “More than 80 percent of Republicans agree. More than 80 percent of gun owners agree. Think about that. How often do 90 percent of Americans agree on anything?” he said to laughter from the audience. “It never happens.” I don't know his source for this MIS-information, probably made it up,but I copied it from the speach he made last Thursday. How often does he tell the truth? (laughter from the audience.) “It never happens.”

I totally agree with the elimination of the curiosity and the education! I'm assuming you are a guy, then if you remember what it was like to be a teenage boy, you will remember what was the only thing on you rmind! Fear in the boyfriends mind is an important thing, so you must meet them all. That worked for me with my two girl (as far as I know). I am a firm believer in FADD, Fathers Against Daughters Dating! Shoot the first boyfriend and the word will spread! LOL As far as the drugs, I feel very fortunate that that never became a problem. I think in part, from my own experimentation in my youth helped in knowing what to watch for, and for our parenting. GOOD LUCK!

I keep hearing Obama and the biased media saying that 90% of Americans want universal background checks. I know that I am one of the 10%! Although, in theory, having the checks the same no matter where you go sounds good, I believe that this would only complicate matters, making it more difficult to purchase at gun shows, slow down our pistol application process, cause longer waiting time between purchases and would put us all under a microscope as well as giving the government a reason for a national database in the near future. Every gun owner I talk to agrees with me . So I ask you, Who were the 90%???

Very Sweet!!! The Holster looks like new! Congrats!

Thats a good way to do it. Take the mystique out of it and don't become a closet gun owner.

My daughter (21 yr old, 95 lbs soaken wet) has a Walther PK380, easy on the recoil and the slide is easy to rack. Nice grip and it's about the same size as the Shield with the mag extension. Easy on the wallet. If she likes James Bond, you mite look at the Walther PPKs. A little more expensive but sweet pistol.

My .$02, I believe you need to expose them at a somewhat young age. Teach them safety and respect of the firearms and you might want to buy a BB gun to help encourage them to enjoy shooting at targets and cans. You might even get a shooting buddy out of it. My two girls are 26 & 21, they were both exposed to my hunting when they were very young and they started shooting at around 8 yrs old with a pellet gun, by 11 they were able to shoot a .22. The oldest still enjoys the .22 and is planning to try something larger this year and the youngest shoots her own .380 and my wifes .38 and hunts with me for deer & turkeys with her 20 guage. Who do you think will be fighting for gun right in the future? Children are the future of our sport and it needs to be encouraged, not suppressed!!!

Thanks for all the help! I checked the proofs in the Blue Book of gun values, they started using those proofs in the 1600's. Being it is percussion I know they didn't start makeing them unil about 1830's. I found out that John Sampson made guns between 1836 and 1860 in Liverpool. I will check out those forums and I will post any more findings. I'll try to post some pics tommorow.

I hope to be just like them!!! My Dad is still going strong at 75, snowmobiles, trips with his 4 wheeler, 2 motorcycles & still hunts & fishes.

I think I found the same info you did. A website selling a Sampson Pinfire. I did another extensive search under that crireria and came up empty ...Again! That more info is greatly appreciated!
