I am planning to order something in the next week or so and thought I would see if anyone has anything for sale locally before I do. I live in NWI and will be in the Rochester area this weekend. Willing to travel to Lafayette, Kokomo, North Indy, LaPorte, maybe some other areas. PM and we we can...
This is my 1st 1911. I purchased it used recently and do not know its history. I notice the barrel has a ridge where the barrel bushing contacts it. The slide can hang up on it if it is slowly released. Is this intentional? Is this damage of some sort? What about the flat mainspring housing, was...
Federal made a run of 32 winchester special. I just ordered my stash - I thought a few people may be in need of it. I have not seen it available for a very long time (i almost got into reloding just for it). Seems like they never made it with any regularity. One of those get it when you can things.
New, bought a few days ago unopened. Paid $97. Sell for $60. FTF in Dyer, Indiana. I do travel to Winamac some weekends as well. Could meet around there. Will Consider Trades for 9mm/.40/5.56 ammo cci .22 and 20/12/10 gauge steel shot. Also looking for a lee hand press, .32 Winchester special...
I just purchased a used high end safe. I am in the process of adapting the interior to better suit my needs. I have never owned a safe before and have a few questions for the more experienced members.
Should I avoid any materials due to their fire resistance? (Would carpet be a bad idea? Should...
Anyone have a safe moving company that can move a 950# safe in northwest Indiana? FYI, I have tried Brandy's, the guy that moves safes for Blythe's, Bills movers, and Chicago safe movers. I am trying to move it by Thursday. Brandy's has not called me back-I have been calling every day since...
Planning to order some ammo online, but thought if someone had some they never planned to use I may be interested. I would prefer steel shot BB or #2 but may be interested in other sizes. I may even take lead just to spend time on clays to get familiar with the gun again. I am in NWI. Thank You!
I have had this 11-87 with a slug barrel around 25 years. Walking my local gun shop, this bird barrel appeared in the back corner of his storage room. He thinks it has been there a long time. We couldn't tell what it was for. He told me to take it home and see if it fits. This was Blythe's in...
Like it says, I am looking for somewhere to dove and duck hunt this fall. Really looking for a farm pond or a field that tends to stay a bit flooded and we don't need a boat. Most areas I hunt tend to be between the Illinois state line and Knox, From the North edge in Michigan South to Winamac...
I work in Illinois and live in Indiana. I live 7 houses from the state line. I decided to try to get a foid card so I can legally carry in Illinois as I work in a really, really bad neighborhood. I am finding out that Illinois does not have a way for a non resident of the state to legally carry...
I am having trouble verifying/finding specific laws as they relate to non residents. I try to research these things myself but I am not finding this one. I know that technically, an Illinois resident needs to have a foid card to purchase a firearm or ammunition in any state. I am wondering if...
I setup additional insurance for the items I own. At that time I was told to document what I have and to store that data in a safe place. Firearms, accessories, ammo are all covered. A week later and I get a call from a different person in the company asking me to send them photographs and...
The ammo shortage seems to have tapered off. Most ammo is pretty readily available and some items are starting to come down in price. This is not the case with deer slugs. I have a rifled barrel on an 11-87. I have been using Hornaday SST's as that's all I could find, but they were amazing. Zero...
I have a springfield 745b. Love this thing. I recently found a ribbed Belgian Browning auto 5 barrel for sale marked for steel shot. are these barrels interchangeable? Thanks!
I just picked up this used 228 from my local Cabelas. I have no information on it. The hammer does not hold back when trying to use it in single action. There is no decoding lever. What do I have here? Pistol is made in Germany. Magazine made in Germany and is marked "law enforcement use only"...
I am not real well versed in the political process, but find myself wondering something. 1808 passed the senate and is referred to the senate. It is with a judiciary committee. My question is, will it be voted on in the Senate after it switches to a Democrat controlled senate? Is this going to...
I am not familiar with reloading, appears to be in good shape- 20 gauge reloading setup with pictured supplies. Extra shot and powder bushings and some cool old shot bag/powder can $50 cash for everything. May trade for 9mm, 223, 556 ammo. Would be willing to add a little cash for a single...
This is my result after 50 rounds at 7 yards. At least I am consistent. I have tried choking it, loosely holding it, bracing on a table, 10 & 12 round mags, Hogue grips, and every conceivable combination of hand positions with no change. I change weapons and shoot a full frame .40 Springfield...
Want to convert my 365 to an xl model. Looking for coyote but may consider other options. Thought I would check here before ordering from SIG and fleabaying my parts. Can trade my short black frame + cash or possibly 2 10 round mags for the right trade. I have and need a manual safett.
I have an 11 year old that I am starting to tech to shoot. The end goal is to start squirrel/rabbit hunting next year. I finally have an excuse to buy a snake charmer. I do not know if there were a lot of options with this model, but I would want the stainless gun, full stock with 4 round...
