MaineMan2 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hiya! I moved back to southern Maine near the coast in 2014 after more than 30 years in Virginia. I don't own any firearms, but I'm interested in Colt revolvers (1960 and earlier), Smith & Wessons, Dan Wessons, anything designed by John Moses Browning, and M1As. The What Would Stoner Do series on InRangeTV got me back into the AR15 world. Given shortages of virtually everything, a 308 AR seemed like an interesting topic to research... That's not entirely true - I do own a Brown Bess with a Tower of London proof mark and a Model 1871 Remington Rolling Block chambered in 50-70. I've never fired either one.

Where on earth do you find cases? Cast your own boolits? Load data - just 70 grains of black powder? The stock isn't in good shape at all - think I'll stick with the baby brother cartridge in an 1895. That thing kicks hard enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
