Re: SSA-E Sale?

I liked the SSA-E so much, I finally got them in all my rifles. Slowly procured them one by one when I'd see them on sale during holidays. They feel so natural to me now.
And, these PSA Deals are turning out to be a great thing.

Re: Hepburn

My Hepburn is a 38-55 poison accurate, I have used it to win egg shoots many times & killed a few Pigs & Whitetails with it. Rio7 Very nice Hepburn, and appears to have been well cared for! I rarely take good pictures, but this is my long range Hepburn in .45-70 Govt. It is fitted for a full length scope that I sometimes put on instead of the long range sights. My Match B with 34" half octagon barrel in .33-40 (bottom) and my Sporting Rifle with extra weight .40-70SS barrel, and DST. in the middle. Top is the engraved Hepburn before I had it checkered.

Re: Broke the Ejector on my 870

You should be able to save the current rivets with the brownells rivet cutter and re-peen it. If you have to replace the rivets entirely, they will fit proud to the receiver. I take them to the bench stone and stone and fit them flush, then when peening the rivets I have a polished piece of steel under the receiver so I have a good backing, but it doesn't mar the receiver. A few tricks that have worked for me. Ryan Good to know on the rivets fitting a bit proud. I have rivets out, and they're certainly reusable. I'll decide which to use when they around to competing the task. Thanks for the tips!

Re: Low wall in 32-20

I shoot a few old antique rifles in .32-20. A Ballard, Rolling Block #1 and #2, and a Hepburn. Love the .32-20 cartridge! I have always bought .313" 113 gr. cast lead bullets from Laser Cast and buy them in bulk boxes of 500 bullets. My load for most is a 5.0 gr. of Unique, which is about 1350 fps. If you wanted something milder you can start around 3.5 grs. and work up to best accuracy from there.

Re: .405Win Barrel

I own 6 Ballard rifles in .40-70 Ballard cartridge, and was buying .405 Win. brass to feed them. I was thrilled when Hornady decided to reintroduce the .405 and I immediately ran out and bought 200 cases. Figured even with multiple rifles it was enough. Then I decided to get some more and it was nowhere to be found! I contacted Hornady directly and they basically told me they didn't know when they'd make another run! A couple years later I got an excited call from a buddy telling me Gary Reeder Custom Guns had .405 brass and to call them quickly! I called and a nice gentleman said they did indeed have 20,000 cases for sale, but limited each person to 500 cases. Surprisingly he also told me their price was old school at $25 per box of 25! I ordered the maximum 500 pcs. and got the order in just a few days. I'd still buy more if I found them and the price wasn't stupid. I feel bad for guys who bought new guns in this old cartridge and now have no brass to reload. If I had a .405 chambered rifle I'd be tempted to rechamber it to .40-85 or 90 Ballard and then you can fire form 9.3x74R brass out to .40 caliber and there's plenty of brass in the 9.3x74R to have reasonably.

Re: Matt Gaetz - "I"m worried some Republican Colleagues will take a Bribe"

You are a fool jetboy. Hardly the fist time The Swamp has used accusations of women to take out a political opponent. Meanwhile: Video - Is it Treason? Maybe Matt Gaetz is leaving Bread Crumbs for us as to what is about to happen...... All this stupid turd needs to do is read the thread where Matt Gaetz speculates about bribes. The truth, None of these stupid communist enablers want to read anything that gets away from the media mission. Justice, you say? Justice is how this little chkunt will be one of the first to die when SHTF. He has no network and his neighbors will make a nice stew out of him. 🤣

Re: Joint supplement suggestions for aging lab

I suspect you already know, but it’s worth saying: keep the dog at a healthy weight. Obesity is terrible on joints. Swim the dog regularly if he’s ok with it. Of course avoid very cold water and especially avoid muddy shorelines as this is very hard on his joints.
Meds? Talk to your vet about treating pain when necessary. I suspect that none of the popular joint supplements will actually alter the course of his arthritis. I understand the desire to help your buddy, but most of the evidence for benefit is pretty shaky.
