Sweet.

How about made from reclaimed scrap metal.

Thanks Bucolic Buffalo and Uncle Miltie, I"ll give it a try.

"Hey, y'all want a drink o' whiskey?" The real Chuck Yeager as Fred, a grizzled old desert dweller in "The Right Stuff". Chuck was real life hero of mine, along with Jimmy Doolittle.

I had an 1858 Remington also made in 1960 for and imported by Navy Arms and marked as such on the top of the barrel. Navy arms later moved to Ridgefield NJ. Your pistol was made by Gregorelli & Uberti. Uberti went out on his own in 1963.

I was working at a Gulf station (70-72) while going to school. When Hi-Test No-Nox went from 39.9 to 40.9 cents folks were quite upset as the 40 cents per gallon barrier had been broken 😅 Today I paid $4.25 a gallon for 93 octane for my old sporty car which needs it.

I need some help guys, the stem is stuck in my Ben Wade 😢 How do I get it unstuck without breaking it? Thanks fellows.

That Navy is an oldie with the "GU" marking, it was one of the first, made in 1960. Is the top of the barrel marked Navy Arms Bogota NJ by any chance? BTW you've got $30+ of caps there :thumb:

Welcome from Maryland.

They can be frustrating alright, I put my CCI and Remington caps in antique cap tins I've collected that I know open easier and look cool to boot. RWS 1075 caps come in plastic containers that are easy to open, two tiny vent holes prevent pulling against a vacuum :thumb:

Genius is it's own reward, well done.

I've been doing that for years with my metal detector :thumb:

Thanks, I had no idea.

I got the same shot and always wondered about the effectiveness. I tuck my pant legs in tall rubber boots and spray the boots with repellant when it's warm, Since I'm cold blooded I wear real lightweight long johns tucked into my socks 7-8 months out of the year, with T shirt tail tucked in the...

The new shooter starting out and needing supplies I feel sorry for. Those who have been around the block know to stock up when you can. The handwriting is on the wall again for smokeless powder availability. Grit your teeth and stock up smokeless ammo and powder now or cry later. YMMV...

Back Creek Gun Shop where I get my powder keeps it stored in an outdoor bunker in a field. You place your order and the guy drives out to the storage bunker and gets it. He supplies the NSSA so that's a lot of powder. I keep mine in a detached garage in a wooden box.

Welcome aboard fellow Marylander.

For $ the Italians would put anybody's name on their product. You did OK at that price.
