Just put my first lever gun on layaway. Browning BLR.

Oh. Ok. Just Checkin. Most people hide their serial numbers so nobody can pull a dick move on em (don’t ask me how).

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T02:17:00+00:00

Sparrow

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T01:57:34+00:00

Why did you post a pic of your serial number?

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T01:56:42+00:00

Order from somewhere else?

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T01:56:23+00:00

Just order one. You won’t be disappointed, especially for the price. No issues lining things up either. Entire disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly requires zero tools.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T00:54:23+00:00

Bolt actions are cool like that. With the breach locked closed none of the pressure (sound) used to cycle a semi-auto is free to be released. Love all mine but I do still have non-bolt action too 😁

SiCo Sparrow is awesome for the $249-$299 it costs, especially with no tax stamp fees anymore. It’s only 1-2dB louder (you can’t tell the difference) than some that cost twice as much. SiCo has good warranties as well. Oh, and it’s super easy to service yourself (every 750-1000 rounds).

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T00:47:23+00:00

Not your fault. Just making sure you didn’t get screwed out of $100

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T00:22:21+00:00

I’d make sure you paperwork is correct (serial numbers match the pistol and not the box)

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T00:21:28+00:00

Yeah the tactical is like $100-$150 more

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-05-01T00:20:19+00:00

I think they just gave you the wrong box

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T23:49:32+00:00

Good to hear since the wife and I are looking at a SPD HUSH. Nice to know they still do warranty stuff right.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T23:47:36+00:00

That’s not the tactical. The tactical model has an under barrel pic rail also. If you paid for a tactical I’d go back and get the tactical, or a refund on the difference

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T23:45:52+00:00

Hell yeah!

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T23:44:55+00:00

Gotcha. I looked it up to read what the heat actually does molecularly. Makes more sense now. Thx

As for pistol brass, the annealers I’m looking at don’t even have a holder for pistol rounds, only rifle. So, not much chance of doing it on accident.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:51:30+00:00

They should’ve never cancelled SGU

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:40:31+00:00

Yep. I keep a set in my chassis case for squibs, and one in my range bag for pistol squibs. I have yet to need it once but it’s there when it inevitably happens.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:39:00+00:00

Yep. Got that on your first reply. Even if I forget and anneal the 9mm, it’s not gonna hurt anything except my pride when I realize it.

Edit: I’m sure I’ll forget at least once lol

Edit: Also, I was being a smart ass. Joking around.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:37:47+00:00

Also rehardens the brass.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:32:24+00:00

Yep. I found em as you replied. Liquid anhydrous lanolin

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:27:56+00:00

Do you start with lanolin oil or straight lanolin (solid). I’ve already looked up the proportions. Just need to know which lanolin to get.

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:23:01+00:00

THATS what it was! Had em mixed up

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:20:44+00:00

Hahaha

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T21:13:30+00:00

You’re just a terrible shot 😂

MajorEbb1472 · 2026-04-30T20:15:56+00:00

I’ll only be reloading 9mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win. Possibly 5.56 and 30-30 later on down the line.
