Will have it in about two weeks. No kidding, a first handgun (age 58). After spending several hours reading about them along with who sells spare components, they seem like an interesting type. This version (mid-WW2?) seems to have the decocker lever. A friend saw it in use at the range-very...

Being 58, might be able to retire at age 60. About 80% is stored and never touched. Well-aware of the intentions of many of 'our' govt. representatives (loose meaning here), there are considerable possibilities that not only US-made ammo will go up in price, but that 'they' will wait for a...

Having read a few months ago that it should be safe, I did so, but have Not yet used any of these forty rounds. To be clear, I'm a plinker, often hitting orange spots on concrete blocks. Some once-used Prvi .303 cases were loaded with 45 (start) grains of H 4831, and it seems that the Lee chart...

At least for those who can the find the cash. My first CMP visit was Aug. 31st, with the luck to have been stuck in ATL for 24 hours. Three CMP staffers told me "We are 5,000 M-1s behind due to ammo orders". Whether they meant Only the Anniston store, I have no idea. There were no Service...

A friend who retired from a military rifle team has inside contacts who deal with them. One of the guys walked into the Anniston store several weeks ago and saw almost no Service Grades available on the racks. Has anybody out there walked into the South store within the last week or so, in...

For several weeks some centerfire prices such as surplus 7.62x54R, 5.45x39 and modern Russian 7.62x39 have been in a normal range. With .22LR also dropping steadily ("Gunbot.com"), the situation now seems to be the reverse of what happened in Dec/January. Back then, spikes in centerfire ammo...

There has been evidence for weeks. It might not have burst like a bottle hit by hickok45:), but it is deflating. At THR under "General Discussions" you can read about personal observations and decide.

A few days ago was my second session with a friend's K-31. At 100 yards, trying to line up the post tip with the leaf's notch, the first few went about 5"-6" high, and the rear leaf should have been at the lowest setting (but we forgot to check). Did success with these K-31 sights take years of...

For those caught unprepared, at least some of the anxiety has cooled off. I check 'Gunbot' and 'Ammoseek' just to observe trends. Surplus 7.62x54R never went above approx. .25/rd. at Ammoman, "shipped". This price for .303 'Brit'. is Now very close to the .75/rd. which was the standard minimum...

This was ten minutes ago. It has dropped a bit in the last week. :)5.45x39 is .18/round now, at Widener's: spam can. That's what it said one minute ago. This is hard to believe!

This is on the front page of Brietbart.com, and once the news of a very watered-down bill in the Senate makes the rounds, the fever is going to cool. Reid has reportedly split any AWB out of the bill. Ammo prices will be headed down fairly soon, but will the simple fact that ammo was never...

Having sold my MNs over two years ago, the price of 7.62x54R in the US is still attractive, compared to other types. "Ammoman" had several types of milsurp ammo a few hours ago. I did Not say cheap, but the x54R isn't too bad For These Times. Most milsurp rifles will continue to be affordable...

In the fairly new Lee chart, it states with H-380 for 180 gr. bullets, use 43.0 start grains. No info for 170 grain bullets with H 380. Is there any reason that you can't use 42 grains with lighter 170 grain bullets, for better life on brass? Only have 80 bullets in this weight. This is just...

Just to verify that I understood how people use these, this Win. .308 gauge is First pushed into the chamber, before the bolt is pushed forward while gently attempting to turn it? If so, then the this field gauge has excellent results-it won't turn at all. I watched one very seasoned...

Later tonight, or tomorrow is anybody's guess. Ten minutes ago: Sorry, but I don't know how to link, post photos etc:o. Danish 5.56 'Nato'. Swiss 7.5. Prvi .308. Russian 5.45x39. Russian 7.62x54R: 880 rd. cases. I only checked a few others, which are still out. This is a positive trend...

Although I only used about a dozen rounds with decent results three years ago, am curious about long-term safety. The short pause......"Ship it to me-I'll check!";) This was one of the last loose batches sold by Samco in April '09, before they sold All of it that week. No more 'actual Brit.'...

At least as a high value plinker, will present surplus x54R ammo prices lead to a clear, but permanent increase in both the ammo and rifles' prices? With no other surplus ammo at similar prices (maybe 5.45x39 again)-even before the panic took place-will people finally turn to these as a...

Just curious, even though my ammo is not for sale. I don't use it, but the ammo will only go up in the mid/long-term, even After the panic cools off. Maybe my son will be bitten by the gun bug one day.... All buying panics cool off. Some eastern Euro countries might not have much milsurp ammo...

My plan was to drive over the day before the April 6 show (or the next Dallas Market Hall), having never visited a very large one. It would be fun just to see the vast selection of milsurp rifles etc. Am quite familiar with the ammo shortage-I bought mine before both pres. elections. The...

Do they usually have multiple entrances for the public? For a comparison, back in normal, "pre-panic" ('13) times, was there much of a wait if you arrived about 10:00 on Saturday? Any observations are appreciated. It will be mostly looking, and little buying at today's prices, unless a really...
