Thanks.


With all those reservations in your mind, why are you considering them? I’m over buying stuff I don’t really want just to get a good price. Unless I just needed a rifle, any rifle, I’d think a bit more, just not so long as to miss the boat.

I doubt anyone will let you load a rifle with real ammo to check function. They may have snap caps that fit you could use, even if you have to buy them, not a hardship if you’re set on a cartridge as they are handy to have.


What fresh Hell is this?
