Re: OT: Color Case Hardening is UGLY

I love CCH. Like alot of things with guns sometimes it grows on you and that was the case with me. I would also say that certain guns just look best with certain finishes. My Browning B-92 looks just right with a blued reciever but my Uberti 73 rifle just seems more at home with a case colored recie...

Re: OT: Remington posts $39.4 million loss for 2008

Re: 73 Winchester in 357

Reminds my of the Python and Model 19 debates that go on about whether or not they will stand up to a lot of magnum use. The Python has the frame strength but many worry about them going out of time.

Any experience with the Charles Daly Little Sharps?

Every since I first heard about the Charles Daly Little Sharps from the Gunblast.com Shot Show 2008 report I've been very interested in hearing more about them. I read Mr. Quinn's review on Gunblast.com(I love Gunblast) of the rifle and have also read a few other reviews about the Little Shaprs in s...
