Chauvanist pig!! But really I think if a female is into guns like her male counter parts she can shoot and strip(the gun that is) the same.My son is in the police academy and some of the male candidates don't even have an intersest in firearms(why choose being law enforcement I'll never know) and ha...

For the most parts gunshows are not what they once were.Even though I was away from firearms for many years when I started to get back into it about 7 years ago and went to shows the sellers seemed sincere in working with you.Now, I guess, because some will dish out the cash they want to gouge you.I...

First let me say that I am not a prejudiced person so do not misunderstatnd what I am about to say.The liberals beleive eveyone deserves rights:blacks,immigrants,gays etc.EXCEPT gun owners.With guns they make a 380% reversal.No rights for gun owners.I also understand what black people went through w...

Is that a blond finish or is it the lighting?It is almost a spitting image of my refinish.A little more gloss perhaps.Unfortunately I have no camera(can't afford guns and cameras on a working mans salary yet).I used some leftover minwax stain my wife had.By the way was it the Poles or Finns that use...

I was working on my 64 when a guy I worked with was looking for 2 tires for a friend.I had a pretty good set but his buddy was straped for cash.Don't know why but I asked if he had any firearms to trade.He shows me what I thought was a crappy m44. I took a chance and did the trade.It actually was no...

Thanks.So if I read between the lines lacquer is not preferred?

I'm a little new to this surplus game.especilly the ammo so bear with me.(sorry for the pun).If price and everything else being equal why choose brown bear(lacquer) over silver(no lacquer)?

Thanks Trace.Hands on is alsways the best info for me.

hey Hairy.No problem I keep the whip and chair nearby.Here she comes now!!! BACK,BACK,(sound of whip cracking).Now about lite strikes on bear ammo with the 18lb hammer spring.Problem or no?

Any lite strikes with the Bears and 18lb hammer spring?

are you using the 18lb hammer?just want to make sure.I've wasted money before on ammo that did not work.Would not want to explain it to the money manager(wife) again!! She is getting good with that rolling pin.HaHa.Gulp.

Thinking of getting some in bulk.Before I do has anyone had lite strikes with the 18lb hammer springs and this ammo because its steel?

I remember you said there is a longer and shorter fp.My pistol is a 1969.Would it have the longer and if so can that be more prone to pierced primers?If so can you switch to the shorter version?Thanks.

Thanks Norm.Just to further my education wouldn't I have seen a flash or felt somthing if that happened?

Thanks again Norm.I appreciate your expertise.I'll keep my eye on it. Sometimes when you haven't experienced something you never know is it a future problem or nothing? Thats why even at my age I I'm not embarrassed to ask qustions. You just may nip something in the bud before it gets out of hand.
