I am AGAINST just about every form of gun control there is.....
BUT I do agree that there has to be some kind of system to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and crazy people. I wish they made it so that they ENTIRE COUNTRY had ONE type of firearms permit and if you got this permit there were no background checks and such. I also wish that they would tattoo a giant NO on the foreheads of child molesters and such.....but that also will not happen. If they would quit with the "each state decide for themselves" and come up with a reasonable blanket policy for the whole country. Why can't I have short barrel rifles??? I live in Alabama....the most gun friendly state there is!!!
Putting the majority of the responsibility on the FFLs is how the ATF is handling it for now. I get some guy that looks like he should have a big white dress on and a towel on his head, thick accent and fills out the forms to buy a gun....putting down he was born in Birmingham Alabama and has an ID that says he is "William Jefferson"......he passes the little phone call I make to the ATF and who do you think will be in trouble when it comes time to hold someone accountable? If there was a system that I spoke of earlier and I could just punch in "William Jefferson's" info and pull up a pic and details about him I could see that this guy is NOT him.....but we can't have that. We have the most rediculous mess ever when it comes to gun transactions......but if it was easy then they couldn't spend billions on keeping the ATF busy with this each year.....
Its ok....its not like there isn't a bill or more ideas they will pass just to show they are "trying" to stay up on things......its about time for them to change the color and format of the 4473 again isn't it??? Its only been three months or so since the last change.
I rest my case.
You rest your case because (of course) you think we should just hand guns to ANYONE and EVERYONE that wants one. In your world there are only good old boys that want to live out the old days where you could run down to the corner store, buy a bucket of nails and a full auto machine gun. Everyone is just minding their own business and only want to take their little boys out to plink at cans or take down the yearly 10 point buck and a freezer full of does. There are no worries about the stupid gold teeth thugs, maniac professors that make pipe bombs and shoot up a room full of coworkers if they don't get ten yr...none of that worries you a bit.
No no LF, in my world we follow the contract. To make that easy, we actually put criminals in jail and keep them there if they need to be kept there. And we hang those in public at the courthouse, who need to be hanged. We don't put the pot grower in prison for 20 years, and the murderer for 8. See how a justice system that "works" negates the need for ignoring the contract? This is how they have designed it, to convice the average "folk", that these infringements are needed.
When I was 14, purchased my first firearm. Model 1000 semi-auto 12 guage. Went into Coast to Coast, the man unlocked the case. I pulled it out. Went to the counter and paid. The man just smiled. So did I. That was only 1984!!!!! We didn't have all these massive gunlaws that we have now, nor did we have school shootings, gangbangers, pedophiles up the street, etc. What we had was personal responsibility, because without it, there were consequences.
Freedom carries risk. It is worth it to me. But we will have to return to treating violent criminals like criminals (The result will be far less of them) and stop treating the law abiding as if they are guilty until innocent. That is what all of these RKBA violating laws do!0 -
Your "Model 1878" Trapdoor Springfield is actually a Model 1873. There was no Model 1878 but the "3" is very tightly looped on the breechblock and is often mistaken for an "8". Look at it with a magnifying glass and compare it to the "8" in 1873 and you will see that it's really a "3".

Man, you look like your doing good on that Browning BL 22 grade II octagon barreled rifle. I see them go for that and more. Last one I seen sell was for close to 800. Beautiful gun at a great price right now. Still 5 days to go. You ought to break 725 with no problem. Oakie 0 -
Do you have any Steyr M40 pistols in stock, or can you order one? If you don't mind me asking, what is the list on one? Been looking for one here, and none of the shops have any, or seem very interested in ordering me one. I have an M9, and would like to give it a buddy! [:D] Thanks in advance. 0 -

You might be interested to know that the "MSH" initials on the stocks of "MSH" are those of Martin S. Huber. Marty was the Colt Historian Emeritus. Colt used his initials in honor of his 57 years of service.0 -

just a little fyi
webleys rechambered for 45 acp has not worked out to well, the original .455 is only proof tested to 13200PSI max, .45acp is 19,000-21,000 psi
as a result its not safe at all, and should only fire .455 webley cartridges

See this link. <http://www.{elsewhere}/977004339/Guns/Shotguns/Double-Shotguns/English/WEBLEY_SCOTT_12_BORE_SPORTING_GUN.htm> (Edited... Guess I can't link to "Firearms" America - sometimes called "Guns" because of the nanny software , so I guess you'll never be able to use the reference.[}:)])
I believe it more or less confirms my opinion on your W&S double and will give you a fair idea of the price the piece will go for. (Remember that the 16ga is somewhat of a demerit.)
The A&F stamping will not detract from overall value in a good shooter... Which this is. It, however, does make the piece a gun made for the trade. Not a bad thing since this is not a collector's item.
One previous post is somewhat misleading I believe. A refinish or reblue is of little importance as far as the value of a good shooter. While value might increase slightly, the cost will always exceed the increase in total value. Only had the gun been returned to W&S for a total rebuild (documented) would the value really take a jump. Again, I suspect the cost would exceed value.
And so my opinion stands. The gun will go for a low of $600 and a high of $900. Obviously I hope that you'll find someone in the right place at the right time and that you'll do better.
Still, as a disinterested party I must be realistic. I know this is a good shotgun, but I also know there are other good shotguns out there. This piece has straight-grained wood, shows use, and is not overly endowed with the things that add a lot of value to a shotgun. In other words a fine field gun, but nothing more.
Please don't be offended by my critique as I hope that I'm much too much a pessimist. I love fine shotguns and know a bit about them. As I said in a previous post, while your W&S is a good shotgun I'd pay more for a nice L.C. Smith, a good Baker, or an Ithaca double... Not their cheaper Lefever line. Same with L.C. Smith. I'd buy the Smith but avoid the Hunter even though I know it to be a good gun.
I wish you the best in your venture. Double shotguns are a science unto themelves. There are wallhangers, shooters, and true collectibles. Within each category the values go to the extreme both high and low.
Look at the Winchester 21. At any distance it's hard to distinguish from a Stevens or Hunter boxlock, BUT WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Go figure.

Did you ship my guns Monday? Also when are you going to list some more scopes? David 0 -
Just received the scope in the mail, thanks. I should've asked this before I bought, but is it the rimfire or centerfire version? Prostaff 3-9x40 Action# 463645295. 0 -
Was going over a post from a couple days ago and didn't know a ? was asked.
It went fine, but she was with a school group. FFA kids aren't known to be too out of hand.
They had a good time at the concert. Their FFA teacher was with them.
Not to brag, but Cheyenne is a good girl. Most are when the right amount of time is spent with them.
We just have to trust that they will do the right thing at some point 'cause we can't be with them 24/7.
Good luck with yours, I'm sure she'll do just fine.0 -
I sent you an email, I have a few questions for you. 0 -
What's the name of your shop? Also, do ya'll ever come to Greenville for the HENRY'S show? SHOT will be back in Vegas in '08. I'll be there again. I just realized today that it is the same weekend as the Super Bowl, and SHOT runs Sat., Sun., Mon. & Tues. this year. It's going to be fun in Vegas super bowl sunday. 0
