    Are pinfire pistols OK to talk about here?

    I just picked up a 12mm open top folding trigger one for cheap. Interesting guns.

    The End of Auction Sites for the Little Guy?

    I had a fun hobby that Ebay helped to fund before the 1099k law. I used to collect coins from banks and such. I kept all the silvers, but would sell non silvers on Ebay. I like Ike dollar coins and kept some, but would sell most on Ebay. I had scored a lot of the hard to find new paper rolls and...

    Stimulus check

    Did you contact IRS about #2? The numbers don't really matter at this point. We're far past the point of ever being able to pay off our national debt, especially since we've abandoned most of our manufacturing industry.

    The End of Auction Sites for the Little Guy?

    Sounds like you'll just have to weigh the benefits and costs to do business on Ebay. Times are rapidly changing and the days of anonymous buying and selling anything are just about over. Cash doesn't have much of a future either, as more and more places will refuse to accept it or charge a...

    Gun barrel fluting

    Fluting is for making a thin barrel a bit more rigid, helping to dissipate heat or for looks. IMO, you'd be better off to get it contoured to the weight you want.

    Very Modern defensive BP pistols in Europe-MUST SEE

    Those are not importable to the US as they will not pass the sporting features test. They would also be classified as a short barreled rifle, subject to the 1934 NFA. For blackpowder weapons to be considered as antiques, they have to be replicas of pre 1899 weapons, using non fixed ammunition.

    Stolen Identity sucks

    That sucks. It seems like banks and agencies like the IRS are happy to help scammers steal identities. I bet if they were automatically held civilly and criminally responsible for all ID theft that they facilitate, it would end overnight.

    The word “Weapon” used to describe your Blackpowder Rifle or Pistol

    The End of Auction Sites for the Little Guy?

    The 1099K law was signed by George W Bush (R) in 2008. It's not a problem for the little guy. $20,000 in sales or 200 transactions. What Ebay is doing now is requiring sellers to link their bank accounts, so buyers can directly pay them through Ebay's system. Ebay has sold PayPal and isn't...

    On the streets.

    You might wanna look at 55 and up senior communities. The RE is pretty hot right now and it's a seller's market. Much less competition in 55 and up places.

    I'd make sure you do all your communication with your landlord in writing.

    Economic stimulus

    About the only thing left to buy that's reasonably priced now are magazines and those will skyrocket, once the pending AWB legislation is plastered in the headlines/newsfeeds.

    On the streets.

    The son isn't following the law when it comes to legal notice. He must follow the law or his actions won't stand up in court. That is, if you have a formal written lease. If you do have a written lease, contact some local tenant aid groups. They usually deal with deadbeat tenants, but they...

    Taking advantage of a Wind Storm

    Looks like fun. What's your splitting method and what kind of wood stove? Reminds me of my youth. Splitting oak rounds with a Monster Maul.

    Questions about a Pedersoli Remington Rolling Block

    How long is the barrel? It might be feasible to cut the barrel just past the bad area, recrown and cut the front sight dovetail.

    Shooting supplies

    Buy anything you want or think you may want now, if it's available, forget what it costs. If you think availability & prices are crazy now, you probably won't like what it will be like after 1/21/2021. For those unaware, we in experiencing a revolution of sorts. As bad as things are now, it...

    my and my grandsons

    Nice! I plan on getting a percussion Sharps at some point and want a period correct scope. How are the optics on them? Are they a modern improved design inside a reproduction tube or a faithful copy of the originals? I'd hope they are at least nitrogen filled either way. Coated glass would be...

    USPS

    "Priority" packages are taking as long as or longer than, what parcel post used to take. Probably the nicest thing I can say is if the USPS lost it's congressional monopoly & protections and had to operate as a legitimate business, they wouldn't be in business for long... If you really want...
