      Henry Rifle

      .357 BigBoy Brass here. My reason for getting it was that Was already setup to reload .357 and have a couple .357 revolvers, made sense. Super accurate rifle with .357, less so with most all of the .38sepcial I have tried in it.

      Who keeps your Business?

      I am a fan of Wrigleys Guns and ammo in Fort Wayne on Lima Road. Mikes a cool guy, his people that work there are always friendly and cool to take time with you. Pricing has been good and he has reloading supplies which most local LGS's don't stock. I want him to stay here.

      Packing a firearm at the Family Reunion.

      Always carry at family events. At my own house, it's a variety of whatever I feel like, open carry full-size. Had a CZ ShadowII with the aluminum blue grips at the last family BBQ, just because. At others places, S&W BG380 or Ruger EC9S, concealed or tucked under the shirt on my belt. Pretty...

      .30 cal M1 Carbine LC 69 ammo, do I keep it?

      I had seen that in multiple places to avoid the Chinese knockoff LC52 marked ammo, good to have that corroborated here.

      .30 cal M1 Carbine LC 69 ammo, do I keep it?

      Indeed, strippers, spoons and bandoliers included. Does it make sense to tumble it (loaded ammo) in walnut media to clean up the cartridges or just call it what it is and shoot/store it?

      .30 cal M1 Carbine LC 69 ammo, do I keep it?

      So I went and ordered some of the Korean .30 M1 carbine surplus ammo from BulkAmmo.com. What showed up was a beat up rusty ammo can with 1080 rounds of Lake City LC 69 in a LC ammo can. I shot 10 rounds to check for function, no problems. My question is, did I stumble onto something good with...

      Walkie Talkie Recommendations

      Our prep/disaster group bought into the Baofeng UV5R radio's and one of our guys set up all the presets for them. So far they have been solid little radios for not a lot of cash. NOT waterproof though. They are on Amazon, I think the have a newer version now that goes up to 8 watts for the guy...

      Mosin Nagant Headspacing help?

      Thanks all, I figured it wasn't a major deal but just wanted to be safe than sorry with a nearly 70 year old rifle. The primer was not punctured on the fired cases he gave me, found those right after I posted this so I am assuming the pin is fine.

      Stores that stock freeze-dried foods

      Check out the the new Sportsmans Warehouse in Fort Wayne, its on Illinois road where the old Staples used to be, by the Lowes. They have a pretty good Mountain House selection and there is no sales tax so it makes it pretty close to Amazon pricing. I just grabbed 20 bags and it came out to be...

      Mosin Nagant Headspacing help?

      Just picked up a "numbers matching" 91/30 Mosin Nagant in nice shape. I know the previous owner had shot it before. Is it nesc. to run a headspace gauge in it or once its good, is it good? IF I do need to check it, does anyone in the area around Columbia City have a set of OKIE gauges that I...

      Springfield M1a and Malaysian Surplus ammo report

      After finding so-so reports going both ways about the Malaysian surplus 7.62 and the M1a, I figured I would try it and report for the next guy. So the good news, I ran 40 rounds that came packed in the .50 cal ammo cans through my new Springfield M1a standard and all fired reliably and ejected...

      Vortex Spitfire 3x long term reviews?

      Anyone have one of these for over a year with some regular use? Curious how it has held up and if you still like it. As I have gotten older the red dots smear due to the astigmatism, the etched glass looked promising as I was checking it out.
