Examining a used firearm

Plenty more, have it checked by a good gunsmith if you are uncertain. Cylinder timing among the expensive and serious defects.

User Profiles

Some info on yourself might be appropriate for many, myself included.

HOWEVER what scares me is that it is easy enough to find anyone on the net at this time in our "information" heavy society of ours.

MORE NERVE WRACKING for me at least, is listing your background and such and then closing your posts with the list of AP goodies you own. HEY bragging rights are a freedom, but why post your expensive hobby items publicly, the less than honest will figure at least this stuff is worth and effort to visit when you are not at home AND they will probably find other valuables in the area for their efforts.

PRIVACY has its benefits.

YMMV,

Looking for ....

Posted By Bill Burghardt

Cannot give you a website, but several of the beginners basic astronomy books I have seen have a telescope chapter or several pages of comparisons at the start and some show what type image to expect from each configuration.

Make a stop at Barnes/Noble or such and look at the choices. B&N usually has several books in the cheap section, and often they have this type info.

Good luck

Is it me?

Send stuff like this directly to Herb. This one has hit the fan from several sources, AND I now believe has been removed from Amart.
