Nice rifle. I agree. You got a excellent deal.

Might it have been a Frigate? IRC Sheffield & Coventry were the only destroyer lost. What I can recall with fair certainty is that we were touring a destroyer. What I can remember about it definitely looks like the type 42s after looking at some pictures. Edit: I revise the statement in red. I did ...

Even a typical, common refurb, non-matching, would likely fetch at least $200 in shootable condition, probably at least $250.

Yep. This will be a disaster. It's easier to get inside the White House, since it allows tours. They have firepower all over to protect it, and that's a place they're willing to let you in.

It's too bad modern warships can't take hits. Do you remember the name of the ship. Unfortunately, I can't recall the name. It was interesting, though. We were fortunate in the tour since we were first in the line. We got to yack a good deal with the officer about the ship. I remember a helicopter ...

In 1984, I was a kid at the world's fair in New Orleans. A British destroyer was briefly moored there and the officer giving the tour said it had a sister ship sunk in the Falklands.

My guess is that it was this one. The turrets on the ship give me a sense of recognition in my old memory.

It's crucial to know the gun involved, as well as the "going rate." Also, it helps to know the profit margin a dealer will be likely to get if he takes the gun in on a trade. Something I've noticed from prowling around gun shows: I sometimes put a rifle on my shoulder just to see what someone in the...

It's obvious they knew it was unconstitutional to begin with.

Good to see Candyman back on the board!

Love to fish for pike! They got that nasty attitude.

300 is a good price,

Agree. You did good.

The simple fact is, they make excellent hunting rifles, and that's part of the reason so many got sporterized.

Interestingly, I was looking up how to prepare turtles just the other day. I'd seen a couple, and have been speculating...

Sounds like you're aching for a Smith Model 10.

Their customer service is often said to be outstanding.

They have a lifetime- no questions asked - guarantee regardless if you are the original purchaser or not.

Yeah, that's what I'm told. Though I've not shot any, I give a nod to Hi Points, especially when budgets are tight.

I suspect its related to manufacturing capability. I would reason it is far more for production tooling costs & setup than capability ... Think about it, as an example, when the Thompson/Center factory building muzzleloaders (straight profile barrels) in NH burned down, the biggest obstscle to any ...
