Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty-five times independently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. Legless lizards resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, and Pygopodidae).
Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans. Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 520 genera and about 3,600 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm (4.1 in)-long Barbados thread snake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length. The fossil species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 12.8 meters (42 ft) long. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago. The diversity of modern snakes appeared during the Paleocene epoch (c 66 to 56 Ma ago, after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event). The oldest preserved descriptions of snakes can be found in the Brooklyn Papyrus.
Most species are nonvenomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill and subdue prey rather than for self-defense. Some possess venom potent enough to cause painful injury or death to humans. Nonvenomous snakes either swallow prey alive or kill by constriction.
1968 (I think that's what the serial number tells us) Colt Python in blue finish and 357 Magnum. I believe this one has seen a lot more carrying than shooting. There is a lot of holster wear on both sides of the muzzle and the high points of the trigger guard and the cylinder see some rub...

I have 2 surplus British L1A1 7.62 roll up style canvas cleaning kit pouches. Pouches only. No rods or tools except for the string pull thru pictured. 20$ or a box or 2 of ammo that I could use. (no Rimfire. Have plenty).
Two boxes. $15 each. They normally go for around $20. Located in Vernonia but I can meet around 6:00pm in the area of Hwy 26 and Brookwood in Hillsboro or North Plains Wednesdays through Saturdays. I'd also trade for a box of factory .357, 45ACP or two boxes of 9mm FMJs
Hey y'all trying to find about 20 rounds of 38 or 357 shotshell but I can't seem to find anybody who's had it in stock in forever or anybody to manufacture it I was hoping somebody on here could point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time

Looking for some AR parts and this dealer has what I’m looking for at decent prices. Not a ton of reviews and Google maps to a house. Couldn’t find much else on them. Anybody used them before?
Their GunBroker account (assuming it’s the same one) is A+ with 275 reviews

Chambered in .45 Colt and .410 (3" shells). 3.5 inch barrel. I inherited this gun from a friend. Looks like it is practically brand new. I fired it at the range just to make sure it works. Comes with a really nice leather OWB holster and a partial box of ammo. Does not come with a box or...
Have tried bore snakes and I like them although they do get oil/grime soaked over time. I have had the little brass end (weight) come off though.
can't stand threaded aluminum or brass cleaning rods. I always break them.
anybody recommend a carbon fiber one piece rod, cable rod, or other...
Like new black US Patriot Armory slide with Grey Ghost threaded match grade barrel, NDZ performance internals, and Snake Eyes Ghost Ring fiberoptic sights. Slide has front and rear serrations with a recessed window design. This is ready time attach to your OEM or P80 frame.
$425 cash firm, MUST...
So I am off to Texas in a month or so. Not normally a wheel/snubby gun person, but am looking for any recommendations for a snake gun to purchase.
Looking for a shotshell shooter of 357/Long Colt size, but will listen to anything.
Experience counts
Thanks

I was over at my parent's house in a nearby town today, enjoying some quality time with my grandkids who were over to enjoy the backyard and animals.
My dad informed me that their neighbor, about 100 yards away on the side of their pasture, supposedly had a pet snake get loose. My brother...
