      Well I'm off to the classifieds!!!!!!!

      If the assault weapon ban passed, maybe some of crazy prices would not be so crazy. I still can't get a handle on why the ammo disappeared.

      Powder recommendation for 9mm and/or 45

      I use Unique. But as someone above noted, it is fairly dirty.

      Ammo hoarding

      One good thing has come out of the ammo shortage. I've searched every nook and cranny and found brass and bullets I did not know I had. So, I've been keeping busy reloading.

      I see a detached retina in my future.

      GUN SNOBS

      When I was 19, I had to eat a nickel candy bar for lunch every day because that's all I could afford. Now after open heart surgery, I wish I had skipped lunch. Hopefully, when you are as old as I am, your finances will provide a larger variety of choices. I carry a Kel-Tec by choice.

      Colt to consider leaving Conn.

      The two most popular guns today - 1911's and AR's were in Colt's pocket. They squandered one of the best business opportunities in the second half of the last century.

      How many guns have you not shot...

      I had one for a few months. A Colt Peacemaker NRA Comemorative (sp). It drove me crazy that I had an unfired gun. One night I jumped out of bed, grabbed the gun, stuck a round in and blasted it from the front porch (I live in a very isolated area). I figured that one shot cost me $300 in gun...

      Evansville big gun auction Saturday 3/23

      It's hard to get a great deal at an auction, but I've gotten a lot of okay deals. It beats playing blackjack. There's the thrill of the win and then the buyer's remorse. It has to be good for the emotional part of your system. However, with recent auction prices, I have to admit no winning...

      Cambodia: Guns, Bombs, and Genocide

      Around 1970 I was testing ammo for the U.S. Government. If we found a critical defect, the lot of ammo was, of course, unsuitable for our use. The defective ammo would be "given" to Cambodia to fight the commies. They were desperately short of ammo and would take anything. The ammo was...

      Leupold-WOW!

      My first scope was a Leopold (around $200 in late 1970's). My second scope purchased soon after was a Redfield (around $150). The next soon after was a Bushnell (around $100). I've been happy with all three. I think Jhampton above asked a good question.

      Buddy Bought a Nagant

      I think I bought the only gun that has went down in value in the past four months. I bought a Chinese carbine version of the Mosin Nagant in November for $120 plus shipping and now I'm seeing then for $94-$99. I passed up the Russian rifles for $89 -$99; now they are selling for $125 - $200...

      Good gun shops in Terre Haute area?

      I had a friend tell me that the store in Princeton had good prices. That was before the craziness.

      ::..This just in from Whittaker's of KY..::

      I don't understand any of this. But by dumb luck before the election, I stocked up big on every type of ammo I use. However, I was too dumb to sell it in January/February. But I'm the right kind of dumb half the time.

      NAA 22 revolver

      I'd steer her away from the mini-revolver and go with a Kel-tec or Beretta Tomcat.

      What handgun do you carry?

      Kel-tec P32 in Uncle Mike pocket holster.

      Neat data sent from a Minister Friend

      Chicago is an example of unintended consequences. Take some guns away to lower crime rate. Oops, that did not work, therefore, we must take away more guns, more rights, etc, etc.

      Primers installed backwards - is there a safe way to remove them?

      Roger all of the above. I've removed several with my Rockchucker. I always wear safety goggles. I've never thought about wearing muffs. PS I tried last week using my off-brand Chinese hammer-type bullet remover for the first time. Two light taps and the handle broke off. I guess pay me now...

      Remington 541-S Custom Sporter

      It's classic supply and demand. Most people could not afford to buy a 541. They would have liked to, but they were putting food on the table. So very few were sold. Now the kids are grown and the old man has a little money to spend. You always want what you couldn't have then. I just paid...

      Cost of .22 ammo

      My ammo prices (49c, 59c, 69c) were based on a sample of one store. That's all I had access to on my infrequent trips to a small town. More infrequent was money to spend. I still use my Remington 510 with a .22 short to dispatch the occasional coon, etc that becomes a pest.
