  1. hahahahaha I'm a different Pablo t-upgrin

    Lever action popularity comes in waves I think. Especially the pistol calibers. 38/357Mag - seem down right scarce at times. 44Mags are easier to find. I have an ancient Win 1892 357 and a Browning M92 in 44Mag. Both are great, the Win is much smoother.

    22's are always in demand. I have a Win .22XTR Classic. WOW what a smooth nice gun.

    The venerable .30-30 can be found readily.

    I want to find one of the big Alaskan calibers. Big shoulder bruiser. Not sure exactly what I want - 444 Marlin perhaps.

  2. Thanks guys. I love shooting it - sometimes I purposely have to choose another revolver, because they will just sit if I bring my Trooper every time!

    It actually looks newer and deeper blueing than the photos show. The ring around the prancing Colt in the 2nd pic is my camera lens.

    Good advice!

    One thing I would like to add, don't use a trigger lock if possible. We have seen many ADs due to them. If you want to lock up a weapon with out a case/safe then lock the action.

    Trigger locks are NOT (IMO) safe.. Esp in a semi-auto.

    Bill

    I always wondered about those things. They seem inherently UN-safe!

  4. None of those are practical issues applicable to 99.9% of AR uses. May have more effectivity on the M4/M16 platform.

    As far as making the AR more robust, it can be done. My 6.8SPC II should technically be harder on moving parts than my 5.56. No breakages yet, because some manufacturers know these things and chose stronger materials and use max material conditions when they can.

  5. That's kinda what I was thinking. I saw a couple of claims of buying them at $1700 and I thought it was just poking at people who felt good about getting one for $2000. Since then I've seen a couple more, and one that got his for $1681.

    Of course, they are still the exception, but it's good to know its happened

    Shoot me a link, bro.

  6. FYI: I've seen online reports of people finding Tavors for $1700 or under. I didn't expect to see them under $2k for at least a year after becoming available, and that was before the recent insanity.

    Whoa. I mean think what people have been selling low-mid range AR-15's for lately. That price does not seem bad at all.
