Re: Counterfeit Leupold Scope on ebay

I saw one of these for sale on a local auction. It was a $74 scope ordered off the internet - they got $375 at the auction! Buyer beware.

Bullseye Primer before the paint will make a huge difference! I've done a quonset and some grain bins and the bullseye primer keeps the paint on much, much longer.

Rossi 92 Purchase and Question

This past weekend at a gun show I ended up buying a pair of 1875 Uberti "Outlaw" 45's and a Rossi 92 in 45. The Rossi is a brass frame with a 24 inch octagon stainless barrel. Under the lever is stamped NKJ 92 along with 012212. Does this mean this rifle was worked on by Nate Kiowa Jones ?...
