Re: New no lock S&W revolvers

I’ve shot a lot of 38 special and 357 mag rounds through my S&W revolvers with locks but I have never had any problem with them. I have also never seen problems happen to others.
The most common problem I see with revolvers is broken firing pins followed by unscrewing extractor rod.

Any local source for cast bullets?

Are there any source for cast bullets in Florida?
In past I ordered from John’s Precision Cast Bullets but he seems to be out of business now.
I’m looking for 45 Colt bullets in 200-260gr

Any hunting lease available in Ocala/Gainesville area?

Anybody know of any private hunting lease in Ocala/Fainesville area? Not looking for big money place. Just a place to hunt hogs occasionally and place to plink. Living in South Fl I doubt I’ll be using it too much as 4-5 hour drive gets old real quick

Re: Indy 500

I remember watching Indy 500 on TV every year growing up in 70’s…along with World Series, Miss Universe, NFL/AFL championship, Kentucky Derby, Oscar award, etc. It was part of our culture in those days

Re: Smith & Wesson CSX

I picked one up from a local guy for $400. I like mine a lot and enjoy shooting it. Accurate, totally reliable and feels good in hand. The trigger reset complaints is non issue. It’s not a 1911 trigger but it’s nothing really noticeable and can adjust to it quickly. It’s quickly becoming my favorite...

Yeah. The feds are everywhere, including here.
As some of you may know I'm a staff member on the AR board and I'm here to tell ya, it's loaded with feds over there.

Do they ever contribute to the board or ask questions?
