When all is said and done, and the dust has settled, I would still go to a top flight gun dealer with this.
Gary and Brian at Wolf's Den are extremely trustworthy to give you a great deal and to do all of the paperwork necessary also.

I've did this with two of my black rifles that I no longer had use for, and wanted something else. Just did this with one a couple of days ago. With both guns, I took them to Lakes Trading in Forest Lake. When dealing with this type of weapon, I want good honest folks to deal with, and I want to be ...

We will have to spend a day together this summer.
Swap stories and you can school me on reloading .223s


Hope you legs get better Sir.

Didn't see you today Oldman. I was watching the Range all day. Must have missed you. Big crowds shooting. Great turnout.

I shoot cast bullets exclusively with all of my pistols except when I reload for hunting. I use Lee, RCBS, and Redding dies. All that I do is adjust the expander die so that the case mouth has just enough of a flair to accept my bullet in the seating die. Too much flair and I will shorten the life o...

CCI Standard loads for my Model 41. {When I can find it} Eley is great if you can find it. I only have one brick remaining so I use it sparingly. The Federal Value Packs have been very reliable and accurate so far for me also. I shot it for the first time today in my '41 and pretty much knocked out ...

Same as Larry.
Many thousands of rounds over many years without a hiccup.
Like the Energizer Bunny. Just keeps on running.

Prayers heading your was Sir.

Eric.

Nice gun.
Congratulations!

I'm very partial but Lakes Trading is a first class operation.

I also know Gary who owns the Rogers Range.
Gary is a great guy so I would believe that his place is first class too.

Nice to be able to have some great indoor shooting ranges in the area.

I plan on taking up Doug's offer on helping me with my .223 reloads sometime this summer. I was also thinking that "Old Man" might want to come over to my house to show me on my own reloading presses. The coffee is always on at my place and after he schools me, we could head over the the F...

I used to work with Dave Mech.
One time, a "hunter" shot and killed one of our wolves that had a tracking collar on it.
Along with deer hair etc, we found in it's stomach a bunch of Snicker wrappers.
Obviously this deceased wolf had a sweet tooth

You are 100% correct on worrying about your dogs Ed.
To a pack of wolves, a dog looks like a porterhouse steak.

Shawn is the Gunsmith at Lakes Trading in Forest Lake. He does unbelievably great work.

Growing up in Ely most of the guys carried .357s. I carried my Browing High Power and mostly used it to shoot Northern Pike so we wouldn't get our nets slimy while fishing for walleye.
Once in a while it would come in handy to scare away the occasional bear that would wander into camp.
