Re: 30-40 Gallery Hand Loads?

I shoot cast bullets in all of my military surplus rifles. The lyman cast bullet handbook is a good investment if you plan to go that route. The C.E.

Re: RUAG Primers coming to the firing line

The bass pro shop by me (illinois) has federal large rifle primers in stock. They are $110.00 per thou. If you have a bass pro or cablamos near you it might be worth a look.

Re: Bogus Hatter

Those fake silver dollars have been around for a long time. I was told they originally came out of latvia. Leave it to the chinese to copy something. They are usually in a plastic case that is hard to open and not easy to weigh. Of coarse if you accidentally drop one on a hard surface it will not &q...

Re: Something is Fishy

interesting article

This article was posted on another collectors forum. I thought it was pretty interesting. If there are any Krag Phillipine constabulary rifles to be found they would probably be in one of the stacks of weapons in the article. The condition of those rifles might be questionable! https://gunsmagazine....
