So sad. I did do one permit to carry call, the range exercise there.
And another more advanced firearm class, I assisted.
Sad to see them go.

Haven't had a chance to play with it. Prior owner said it will shoot a 3 shot clover leaf at 100 yards with Hornady 410 gr Sub X bullets over 42 grns of RL 10X. I would think RL 10X powder wouldn't be a good choice.

Had a 1983 vintage Leupold 2x7 scope having problems. Contacted Leupold, they had me send it back and after inspection, gave me 2 options. They would replace with an equivalent scope and I would have within a week or so, or rebuild mine which could take many weeks. I was in no hurry, had them rebuil...

My carbine single shot rifle is a Ruger #3 in 45-70.
16.5 inch barrel, Hicks Accurizer, Canjar adjustable set trigger and Leupold 1-4X scope.
Not what you usually think of when someone says the rifle is a carbine.

Bought recently from GunBroker and GunsAmerica, no issues.

Still here, don't post much and there are probably some here that wish I wasn't.

Really . . .
I would think for liability reasons the would want it back to verify problem, make sure there isn't any other issues and replace the manual safety themself.

Yes, it is a 45-70!

Just picked this up, a Baikal MR-221 double barrel in 45-70.

I have been told a couple different scenarios on this. One is that it will be 30 days and the other says 60 days before this takes effect because it has to be implemented. So what is it, effective now, 60 days or what? The judge has not issued the final judgment yet pending the outcome of the heari...
