railfancwb Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Shotgun ammunition… The local Walmart stocks some long guns - rifles and shotguns and black powder - and some ammunition - .22LR, a number of center-fire rifle calibers, and shotgun. They have 12 gauge and 20 gauge in some variety as well as a bit of 16 gauge and a little 28 gauge. But NO .410. Nearby Dunhams has lots of 12 gauge, even some of the shorties, and most of what Walmart stocks - and even an occasional box of 10 gauge. They had a few 5 round boxes of .410 at $7 to $9 per round. None of that left with me. A local gun shop had 25 round boxes of .410 at about $1.50 per round. One of those boxes did go home with me. So what’s with .410 ammunition availability/pricing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 No .410 being made right now. Partly because there was a shortage of primers and demand for 12 gauge being so high. So all efforts went into 12s. Second is a glitch in manufacturing schedules. Most manufacturers make .410 hulls just once a year. The only.410 available are hunting rounds like tungsten turkey loads. Our .410 and 28 gauge shooters are frustrated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Did Smith & Wesson tool up to manufacture this? Or contract with the Marlin Division of Ruger? Or maybe even contract with Henry? The copywriter, or autocorrect, persisted in calling it Model 1894 in captions - a label immortalized by Winchester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Classic western gunfights… The opening scene for Gunsmoke usually involves Matt Dillon facing off against someone on the dusty street and a fast draw gunfight. Marty Robbins’ Big Iron envisions the same situation. Many other TV programs as well as movies present similar situations. Shane has several similar scenes. Wonder what percentage of actual western gunfights involved face to face duels vs shooting from cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
