I really, really, really find myself wanting a Model 41 lately...

If the Victor is a Hamden gun, could you PLEASE turn me on to it? Pretty PLEASE?!?


(If it's an East Hartford, or Texas made gun, then the price is about what a gun store would pay for it.)



I would also be interested in the 41 if you decide to take the HS.

I also just crossed over into Ruger .357 land... I picked up a GP-100 Hawkeye Talo the other day. It's no Smith and Wesson action, but it sure is beautiful. And then I went to put it in the safe and came to the realization that I now own 8 .357 revolvers! What the hell? So keep your eyes open. I mig...

John... You is the red stuff huh? I was told years ago to use the green because the red leaves behind a film from the polishing additive. Apparently there dint any truth to that. Either that or it has no negative effects.

You're manufacturing these yourself? What are the legalities involved in that?

I want to know what was used, and how many rounds it took to get the job done. I've hunted pigs on various occations over the years. I was hunting with a Desert Eagle .44 mag in Florida. On one occation in the mid 90s, I put 6 300 grain Cor-Bons into a 400lb pig before it went down. Not dead yet, bu...

I handled that exact rifle at NGX the other day. Guy came in looking to sell it. We already had one so would only take this one on consignment. Looks like he found a buyer.

Damn! That's pretty fast! Lightening up in a few key places could bump the cyclic rate up to 1300 rounds a second or so...

I also took the course provided by the state. I forgot the name of the college they do at but it was on route 6 heading towards Bristol. Good class and if you passed the class you go straight to the DMV with the certificate and wallahh! Instant motorcycle license. Now I'm in a better position to pr...

The MSF is no longer optional. Its required by law to get your mc license.

Here's a few that I have pics of on Photobucket. I don't still own all of them... Mostly race bikes. I road race at a few tracks up and down the east coast... Gen 1 Suzuki SV650 Supersport race bike. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c218/noelgix1/BIKE%20STUFF/5653_1213191733013_1325394037_30592.jpg...

My notes for B/E and 125 gr 9mm lead are from 3.0 to 3.8 as max and a little star next to 3.8 that says too hot. I don't use any more than 4.2 for 45 loads, usually less unless I need PF Perfect...
