  I have a Special Weapons cast SS receiver built CETME. I traded for it many years ago. It has
  always been reliable and accurate. It has very little recoil and I have trained with it enough
  so that the...

  Maybe because my old Model 60 is one of the older ones, I haven't had many issues with it being
  finicky with HP's or any other cheap, bulk ammo. The only time I have had issues were when the
  rifle's a...

  I have an older Model 60 that holds 18 rounds in the tube, with the longer barrel (22"?) Mine
  has always functioned well with HP's, but with 22 rimfire being particularly dirty stuff, I
  clean the rifl...

  Actually, the AR with the 1/2"bl, should read 7 1/2"bl. It's a Carbon 15 AR pistol. I also have
  a Marlin 29 with draganov stock and 120 rounds on board with arrow shaft speedloaders and a

  Yeah, they all do that "Local market pricing" here. Basically, they undercut the local gunshops
  by just enough to poach the customers. But then, around here, Wally World is usually HALF what
  the gunsh...

  Just back from my local Walmart. No limit on 9mm Federal ammo. I bought the last 5 boxes and
  the price is still $9.47 each. Limits are up to the individual store managers per the salesman
  I spoke to.A...

  I had two cylinders loaded for my 1858 Remington for around 19 months. I live in the second
  wettest place in the CONUS. One place near Seattle gets more rain than we do here. I tote the
  thing almost e...
