My PCP air rifle looks better every day.
Watch out! Those are just as vulnerable to the lefties as any other thing they won't tolerate.

It just makes sense to save every firearm you own versus selling them. That way you have something you can pass down to your children. Even my daughters have been to Dad's Shooting School. Pass it on!

For sure, just look how the want/wanted to ban bb guns and class them also as firearms. Made companies place red tips on barrels, etc. ( which the dummies never thought criminals flashing those fake guns would just remove so victims thought they were real guns.
So the higher grade and caliber rifles will be on their list at some point al, due to the powerful and deadly larger calibers, etc. :eek:

Just think if the criminals started putting red tips on real guns. That might turn the proverbial tables making you think they're harmless.

That well could come to pass. But our Ignorant politician/lawmakers don't have brains enough to think about that. 99 out of a 100 of them can not think beyond their nose. :idea:

Out and about yesterday morning chasing stuff for work. Place opened at 0900, I was there and doors were locked. Ok not a problem, 10 minutes to Scheels. Got the last pound of N140, looked around quick and noticed they had a FULL selection of Saturn powder funnels, 17 and up. Got a 17 and a 20, guys been bragging on them and every time I go to make an order out of stock. VV powder was $41 lb.

I like my Saturn funnels, but when I bought they had none for 17's. May have to order one, but may just stick with the kitchen household funnel I have been used as it fits perfect inside the 17 neck and has been working as such for years now. I like those Saturn funnels. Snowing again today, so may not get out to shoot and mess around. :)

Funnels...... I like most others, started out with a plastic RCBS do-it-all funnel. This morphed to the Saturn funnels....better in all regards, but caliber specific. Then Brad at Custom Reloading Tools (now defunct) brought out the most nifty, well-designed reloading funnel to ever come down the pike.

Manufactured on CNC equipment, all aluminum, it offered a funnel of the perfect size, caliber specific, used a screw-on 2" drop tube if wanted, and a series of exact caliber screw-on tips to perfectly fit the neck of the brass cartridge neck from .17 to .45. Extremely well made.

With the demise of CRT, I'm certain there must be another maker who picked up on Brad's great idea for a powder funnel design. I know it's the very best one I've ever used for precision handloading. :wtg:

What I have been using for quite a while is the little plastic tip deals from the Dr office. The thing they snap on the light to look in your ear or nose.

Half a dozen spilled into my pocket……
