I got an email from Western Powders yesterday.
There is a recall on 3 of their Accurate Arms powders made before 2016.
Luckily I only had 2 pounds of the affected powders.
When I inspected them, they did have signs of degradation.

Check your stashes.

Ok vance, no hard feelings, it wasn't meant that way. Its just I get the anti Colt rant from a lot of people that look the other way with Ruger and Smith. Kind of like they are held to a different standard, which is something I dont get. And you are right...I DID assume you owned Smiths or Rugers p...

My FIL has an old flat gate that he asked me to clean while I was visiting over the holidays. For the life of me I could not get the base pin pulled forward to remove the cylinder. I don't think it's be moved since the 60's. What's the preferred method to coax it out? Vice grips with a bit of leath...

He doesn't want to spend $250 (minimum) on a $175 rifle.

Screw a breech plug in it for 209 primers and use it in ML season.

Don't even bother cleaning it anymore

vancelw

Only ever had one Sig, a P220ST.

Will never own another or ever trust my life to one.
Even after passing through the Sig Custom shop, it would fail to fire. Parts were out of tolerance and they failed/neglected to correct the situation 1st go around.

Never again

That's a wildcat based on a 348. Not what the OP is talking about

vancelw

It makes no sense. The only reason we use .348 bullets is because we have .348 Winchester rifles. There are very few choices for .348 bullets. It would be cheaper to sell your .30-30 and add the cost of reboring to the pile and buy a clean Browning 71. The reality is you would probably have to speci...

90% means 90% of original finish.

vancelw

Convert it back to .348 as God intended! :D The thought has crossed my mind! I think I'd rather do a .450 Alaskan if I chose that route though. By all inspection, it already appears to wear a very fine .45 caliber barrel, and .458 bullets are a lot easier to come by than .348. Of course, I'm biased...

vancelw

And never buy a gun or anything from a seller who insists on USPS money orders or Cashiers Checks.
There is a reason they don't want the money to be reversible.

I take personal checks when I sell. Nowadays they clear fast.

For me, Glocks ended at gen 3, I've seen nothing but lipstick since. But if it sells, it sells, so good for them. Yeah, back when prices got stupid I sold my gen 3 G19. Later bought a blue label gen 4 G17 to replace it. I liked the Gen 3 better. Only thing I like better about the Gen 4s is the shor...

vancelw

They're gonna make a 1911

Why not....everyone has been copying Glock lately.

No idea really what their big announcement is.
Most likely a slide from one model mounted on the frame of another and mis-matched colors.

vancelw

The 2 letters in the serial number tell you exactly what year it was made (NM would be 1990).

I have one of these and love it.

vancelw

A Ruger PC Carbine and a Glock pistol would be less than $1100 for both (even less if you are an LEO) Hard to beat. Both of mine are ultra reliable. GLOCK magazines from 10 to 33 rounds fit either. I also have Just Right carbine that I really like, but it does not have last-shot bolt stop. And the A...

vancelw

Frankly, I doubt you get much more BTU's out of the second barrel to be worth it, a single barrel stove will drive you out from the heat. You'd be surprised. You get even more if you run a pipe through the middle And even more if you put a low flow fan on one end up that pipe. You can use less fire...

I put a Providence Tool Pattern 21 on my Browning 1895 (.35 Whelen) a few years back. I don't remember it being hard to reassemble....but, I have slept once or twice since then.

Brackets are easy to buy or build. You can also buy a quick detach setup (Lee sells one) to swap out press, powder measure, lubrisizer, etc. and so forth. Only you can decide if the bench suits your workspace. We have an old thread on here showing different people's setups I need to add photos of mi...

I have a TopGuard I bought from Amazon. Kinda cheap but takes great day and night photos and video. I think it was 59 bucks. My biggest complaint with it is, it is kind of fragile. The strap brackets broke off when I tried to attach it to a tree. I had to use the included tripod style mount. Still w...

On rifles I keep black electricians tape over the muzzle at all times. It has saved me from having to go home early on many occasions. Many ask if it affects accuracy. No way. The air trapped between the muzzle and the projectile compresses and blows the tape off before the bullet ever gets there. ...

A Ranger (Sears) M34 single shot. My grandfather gave it to me when I was 12 or 13. It was rusty on the outside and had a chunk knocked out of the stock. I could stretch a box of shells a long way with that. Used to shoot bumblebees The bolt Spring finally got weak. I guess I could fix it.... Its st...

. Nice Sable - congrats ! . :) Next, you can try to take an Oryx with your Oryx...…… :mrgreen: . I used Remington Core-Lokt out of a .30-'06 seven years ago on 2 gemsbok in Namibia. Perfect performance. The skinners couldn't find the Norma bullet on this on. I was hoping to examine it.

vancelw

Not a levergun, unfortunately.
A late 60s Remington 700 action with a #5 Douglas bbl in 8x57JS. Norma 196 gr Oryx.

Next time I come, I'm bringing my 405, 444, or .45-70

vancelw

Enjoy.

I think mine is a 1960 and my Marlin is a 1949.

Great caliber.

vancelw

I absolutely hate bolt action shotguns.
I can load and shoot faster out of any other action, even a single shot.

To me, any gun with a short barrel is a good truck gun. The simpler the better.

vancelw

Well, of course they did...
I just ordered a case of it

I'll have to check the lot numbers when I get off work.

I don't know what Walmarts y'all shop at, but I've never seen them sell ammo as cheaply as I can order it. And no where near the variety. Clearance sale is the only time Walmart gets my gun money.

Having had both of my Winchester 71s apart to move the bolt peep from one to the other, I would not choose that method of mounting a peep sight 1st.
