Hunting and shooting thread

Hey Jason!!!! Which one has the best trigger???

Springfield and Kimber 45’s pretty much all the same trigger-wise, edge going to Kimber. Of the three 9mm’s in the first pic (Taurus G3/Beretta APX/Canik TP9SF), the Beretta APX def has the best trigger, albeit the Taurus and Canik are pretty good factory triggers as well.

Just sold a gun and waiting on payment and FFL. Was looking for the values of some other guns on GB and came across a rough but serviceable Marlin 1894 .357. This one is from the 90's and has the manual safety, scratches all over the stock, and looks like the scope mount holes are boogered. So, I put a bid on it. Really doubt I'll get it for this price, but it would be nice to have a beater so I don't put unnecessary wear on my nice 1981 example.

It does have a bit of road rash but for a shooter might be a good find, if it doesn't get stupid expensive.

 

[FergusonTO35]

I figure its worth at least as much as a new Rossi. Unfortunately, I'm sure it going go high since it's a Marlin .357.

 

[K Mueller]

Hopefully it stays reasonably priced for you! That hasn’t really been the case on Gunbroker theses days unfortunately though. I don’t know what the deal is on some of the stuff on there. I see people bidding it way up and then I find it in stock online and it is much cheaper. That happened a few times on ammo and other stuff. Do people just not know how to search for things?

 

[FergusonTO35]

It's currently up to $405.50 with three days to go. I figure shipping and transfer will add another $40.00. New Rossi 92's are around $540.00 here, of course the Covid and presidential panic has jacked up the price on those too. We shall see I suppose.

 

[FergusonTO35]

$606.00 with two days to go, I'm out!

I'm good for awhile
I traded some tula .556 for the loaded ammo
And traded 1000 small primers for large primers and
bought 500 .45 acp
185gr cast bullet's

 

[FergusonTO35]

Nice stash. Those Winchester .22's have harder rims and don't fire 100% in my pistols, do great in rifles though.

If you don't mind me asking, how much Tula 5.56 did you have to part with for the ammo?

 

[ramrat]

Had a good last couple of days scored 600 rounds of 9mm and some more 223/556.

 

[full chizel]

The only thing really hard to find around here is .40s&w

18 boxes of 20
I had a bunch of it from knob creek year's ago
It used to be under a 100.00 for 500 rnd tins.
I don't even go there anymore
Everything is way overpriced
And that was two years ago.

Thanks, that helps a lot.
I have two 500 rd boxes of the stuff below. I took it as part of a trade a number of years ago. I didn't really want it but got it for next to nothing. I was wondering what it might be worth now. I have a pretty good supply of brass cased 5.56 ammo and components and was keeping this as last ditch ammo. The price tag on on the box is $95.
I might drag it to a gun show and see what I can trade it for. I've been looking for a Glock M20, M40, or both.

You'll do well
People are scrambling for ammo

 

[ramrat]

Brownells is having a drawing for a barrel of 556. Boy would it be nice to win that.

You can get your money back easily. If you're needing to move it -- you can.

I don't need to sell it.
I was just interested to see what kind of trade I could possibly make.

Understood. I imagine you could easily do so. Well wishes on that sir.
