    Good price for Ruger .44 Liberty Carbine?

    Tempted to pick one up, looked at some comps. on Ebang/GB/AA. Seems like a fair price, $550 in very good to excellent condtion; curious what you all think. Bicentennial marked on barrel. How "collectible" are these rifles-tough to sell, niche market? Good investments? TY in advance.

    Off topic forum section?

    Ive realized that I value a number of opinions here a great deal. Enough so that I would love to be able to ask non-firearms related questions here, rather than join other topic specific forums to try and gain info. The members here are a tremendous resource to us all; I would love to be able...

    Rarest firearm owned by a TFL member?

    Was at my folks cabin last weekend, realized one of the old bolt-action .22s we shot as kids was a Remington Nylon 10, worth about $600 or so. I was shocked, only about 8000 made between '62-'64. Not much by most folks standards, but I believe it to be "my rarest gun". Saw a similar thread in...

    Penetration: Velocity for steel, mass for flesh?

    Trying to be as unspecific as I can here to avoid overly specific answers; Im curious more about a general rule of thumb, not the exceptions. Discussion around here came up; when shooting at steel targets, velocity seems to be a bigger factor in damaging or penetrating steel than the mass of...

    Why do we obscure serial #s in our firearms pics?

    Ive never been certain about this, but why do we hide our serial numbers when discussing/photographing firearms? Can someone else claim ownership with the serial #? Can someone falsely claim a firearm is stolen? TY for the info.

    Good cheap laser rangefinder?
