    Good point since I don't know the history of the barrel. I my rifle rebarreled with this one I found at a gun show, the last one was absolutely toast. The gunsmith described a special type of clean...

    I was asking because of the gun city sale, I grabbed a bunch for plinking. Works out at about $60 per 500 which would be $6 per 50. Hopefully they work OK on possums too. If you have the old...

    Just bought an old marlin lever action, looks like ammo is as rare as hens teeth and prices are through the roof. Not too sure if its a good idea to put jacketed rounds through this old gun,...
