Used holsters, I mean really used (above)!They should be replaced once they reach thislevel of wear. The base holsters are Renegademade in Arizona. The old gold-tone 20-roundAR magazine (below) is really old. Still new inthe wrapper are four 20-round magazines madein April of 1970. The MagPul, Lancer and Fusil(left) are all better magazinesPistonDrivenSystemGuaranteed1 MOA Accuracy!a second Single Action Army. Two isalways better than one.AmmunitionI would hope not to go here but…the two loudest sounds in the worldare a gun that goes click when it issupposed to boom and a gun thatgoes boom when it is supposed to goclick. Many of you reading this knowexactly what I mean. Get the clicksand booms sorted out.Be guarded about old ammo. As acop in the ’70s I had an elderly ladygive me a Wehrmacht-marked P-38pistol and a coffee can full of olivedrab-green9mm cartridges. There wasa reddish lacquer-like finish aroundthe projectile and case edge as well asaround the primer. The can containedby count 496 rounds and the casehead stamp was 1942 (this was 1979).I fired every round through that P-38and all but four rounds failed to fire.Pretty good results, then again I seeno reason to test the theory. Carry thebest ammo you can.I’ve had lots of factory cartridgefailures, but over the last 45 years ofshooting the percentage of failure isamazingly small. I would be inclinednot to play Russian roulette with37-year-old German ammo or anyother. That said, I would still carrythe best fresh ammunition I could get.Old is good, new is good. Carryand use what you like, just make sureit works.NEW!
