  I have a Special Weapons cast SS receiver built CETME. I traded for it many years ago. It has always been

  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

  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...
