I have been considering a .350 in an AR. Primary reasons is more power than a 5.56 and it seems to be reloader friendly. My only hesitation is I am underwhelmed with the accuracy and right now the high prices of ammo and the .350 just made a big jump. For the kind of money it would cost, I might as ...

$2150 with 6 hours remaining. For those that might be curious!

Very Nice!

Awesome deal. I never seem to find any vintage high quality pistols in my area. Congrats on a great find!

Finally got 2 bids, sitting at $1050 with 7 days left. I expect it will attract more bids, but who knows, it could be a bargain. For those interested, if you go into the main auction, lots of reloading supplies to include primers.

My apologies to the moderators if they don't like where I post this, but I wanted to ensure it was seen. This is not my rifle but is in a local auction near where I live. Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle, .38-40 Caliber * Appears to be all original * 24" Octagon Barrel * In operating conditio...

Back in the 70s it was typical to find them for less than .02 cents a round, probably closer to a penny. I dont think anyone ever thought of buying a whole brick. They were always sitting on the counter at the hardware store. Buy as many as you want, never needed more than a box or two.

Very Nice, Heirloom Rifles are the best!

I would definitely like to get another Marlin one day. However, I will wait to see what quality Ruger produces. Right now the market is OUTRAGEOUS as many have stated. No it is not inflation, it is gouging.

GB has definitely gone downhill.

Call me a skeptic, but too many people are out there trying to create FAKES.

The birdshead model in Nickel definitely got my attention. I already have a full size 1873 in .22 LR/.22 MAG Combo. Just my opinion, but I think the .22 LR actually does better out of mine. I swear I can see the .22 MAG in flight. I have to wonder if the short barrel can digest the extra powder the ...

Definitely something to be proud of!

This verdict reinforces my belief that the US may be alright after all. Sure hope the next election keeps the conservative trend!

Here is an article by Chuck Hawks that talks about the 4006 and the .40 S&W being released at the same time. When the gun first came out, it was pushing 180 gr at approx. 1200 FPS. Sounds like it will definitely handle +P ammo.

A few months back is when I read the article. I will try to find it again and I will send it if I do. Pretty sure it was on the S&W forum.

horsesoldier03

.40 S&W is a great caliber and yes the 4006 was specifically designed for it. I don't think you could ever go wrong buying a S&W. Definitely a nice pair of pistols you got there!

So, I bought the water heater, installation kit, and pan for $560 or so and I'll be installing it myself tomorrow. I'll take the money I "saved" and put it towards a revolving pistol. I am currently painting the house. I suspect I will save us at least 5-7K doing it myself. I am hoping to...

I was going to have a gas line added to run a gas stove. I called 2 or 3 plumbers to come do the job. I could not even get someone to come and do the work. After about a month, I went ahead and bought the materials and installed it myself. Made sure I soaped down the joints as well as installed a 1 ...

Sounds like you are wanting a little distance on your shots IMO i would get a 30-30 in a 94 or the 06 in the 95.

I seen an ad from CDNN on FB that they had posted the SA-35 on GunBroker for a 3 day auction. With 1 day left it is running around $1200, more than double the MSRP.

horsesoldier03

A gun with that classic of a look definitely needs a Gold Dot Front Sight. And I am sure JMB wouldnt mind if they offered it in a .40 cal. But definitely a gun I want to see in my own collection.

horsesoldier03

While I understand it is with good intentions, I would like to state, CENSORSHIP is wrong. Whether is is on FB or a gun forum! I also appreciate everyone getting along, however, realistically that isnt always possible. Right now it seems the LEFT wants to silence anyone who has a different opinion. ...

If i was going .40 s&w my 1st choice would be the 4006 or 4013. Second would be the Ruger P94.

I have a Mossberg Whitetail Lightning in .308 was given to me as a Christmas present years ago. They get a lot of bad press, but honestly this rifle has been awesome. I have no clue how many deer it has taken, but more importantly, it has never missed. I also have a BRNO Mauser in .270 that is growi...

I know in the military cemeteries, the spouse of the service member is buried either below or on top based on who passed first. I would ask the cemetery where your dad is at if this might be possible. You might have to go with a slightly smaller headstone.

This shot pretty good from the factory as well. However, the rear sight was kicked way to the right and it still wasnt feeling right to me. One of the things that Jeff does is sets the barrel to be true dead center. I picked the grips up off of a group I am on on FaceBook. SACK PETERSON is the maker.

horsesoldier03

Very nice. Who would not love to have a gun with that much history!

horsesoldier03

Very nice. I had no clue they ran as fast as they do. I agree with Blaine, keep your hearing protection close by. I did see a 115 gr (.312 diameter) LRNFP load with 5.0 gr of W244 that ran 1,226 fps. It was the lowest pressure load listed at around 33K, the rest were all right about 40K of pressure....

One day I hope to have Tyler Gun Works color case the frame and put a few scratches on it. I forgot to add that I did have the hammer replaced with the low wide SBH hammer. The trigger has a 2 1/2 lbs trigger pull.

I have had this Ruger .44 Special Flattop for a few years and have always wanted to have it professionally smithed for a Trigger and Accuracy Job. I finally decided to treat myself and thrilled that I did.

For concealed carry I would go with a quality leather holster with a horsehide lining. Even better if it is boned (molded to the shape of the gun). I recently purchased one from Plumb Creek Leather on FB for a very reasonable price. I would post a pic, but I dont have a website for a url.

Kind of ironic that Mark Twain might make it into this post. One of his quotes regarding religion was that "Religion was invented when the first Con Man met the first Fool!"

IMO, it looks to be a JM stamped without the crossbolt safety very similar to mine that was made in 1979. You can GOOGLE Marlin 336 manufacture dates by serial # to confirm the year yours was built.

ODIN WORKS has some pretty good adjustable blocks that should still fit under a thinner MLOC handguard. Personally if I were going SBR, I think I would try the .350 Legend. I agree on the 5.56 being too loud on the ears with a SBR without a Silencer. My personal opinion is there isn't enough gain to...
