Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Got a new (old) reloading tool.

I go by a little antique/consignment shop about once a month to see if I can find something interesting and today I saw this in a box of old tools.
Winchester patent dates 1874 and 1882. Caliber is .32WCF. The extractor is broken, but I wasn't really planning on using it, anyway. I figured it was worth the $5 price tag on it.

You are as bad as I am. I'm a hoarder of 'antique' tools also.

Whoa that is super nice. Imagine if that tool could talk the cowboy's hands it passed through?

It's worth what you paid, and more. In good condition if everything is there they go between $100 and $200.

I have an old Lyman 310 tool. Not worth nearly as much as a Winchester or Remington marked one.

Yup that was back in the day when the cowboys sat around the campfire and made their own round lead balls. No calling Midway and asking them to overnight yah some ammo.
Just watched Hitchcock on YouTube firing a Eurbeti repo 1851 Navy Colt .44 I think it was? Damn those things are like wicked accurate.
