I would never normally even remotely consider buying an ornate gun like this one: http://henryrepeating.com/h004es_eaglescout.cfm?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EagleEmail2010&utm_content=426350306&utm_campaign=EagleScout2010-Consumer+_+utbkr&utm_term=Readmore But, being an Eagle Scout ...

They are a lot of fun to shoot if you can get one. I bought an Iron framed henry in 44/40 and just love it. I am very careful with my loading and my reloading of the shells and no problems so far. The neat thing is that on the 100 and 200 yrd ranges, with the sun to your back, you can actually see t...

All types are generally available here in Houston. I was able to build back up my supply that I started firing up the press again and cranked out about 3000 rnds this weekend. I will do another 3 to 5K this upcoming week as I start to build back up my stockpile I tapped down during the primer famine...

Peter M. Eick

Yeah, I will kick on the AC here to make it more comfortable to sleep. It is 74 right now, 99% humidity and yes, we have the same tornado watch. It just feels like tornado weather out there.

A little snow would be nice though.

Peter M. Eick

I was in looking at that Henry on Friday. My shooting buddy and I were looking at it. I would say it is one of the better ones that have wandered through collector's recently and yes, they will probably get their price. One advantage of living in Houston is being able to run down there during a long...

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/creston.jpg http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/riner.jpg I noted with interest that the RR grade they are mounted on is nothing like the original 1868 grade. I had to locate the 1868 grade in central wyoming so I hired a bunch of Archs and we identified it with the ...

Peter M. Eick

My boss and I read those over and we were thinking about seeing what would happen if we claimed some of the ammo. I know I have lost a few 22 lr rounds at the range and had a couple of 9mm disappear over the years. I also distinctly remember losing a 30/30 round that was on the bench when I went to ...

Can't blame Microsoft alone. Have you guys heard about Seagates 7200.11 hard disk problem? Basically the big seagates with sd15 firmware will turn into "bricks" at power on. Once you have "bricked" the drive then the only way to get it working is to send it to Seagate for new fir...

One is my Les Baer Heavy Weight Monolith. I speced this one out t...

No one calls it "global warming" any more. Too easy to debunk.

Now it is "climate change". This way no matter what happens, hot, cold, dry, wet etc. It is all your fault for not doing the greenies bidding.

Peter M. Eick

There is a run on everything.

I am sure you will enjoy the 10mm. It is my favorite caliber to reload. Easy size to handle. Not too big, not too small, just right. Also you can go from mild to wild easily.

Peter M. Eick

Dang busy show. My shooting buddy and I walked the whole show and he picked up a couple of rifles. I was on the lookout for something special but no Registered Magnums or 38/44 Heavy duties to be found.

Peter M. Eick

As a geologist and geophysicist, I can tell you that anything is possible. The last time it went "big time" it laid down a couple of meters of ash over most of the intermountain west. I don't think most folks appreciate how big of a mess it could be if it were to really go bang. We as the ...

Peter M. Eick

Planning on?

357 SuperMag from Dan Wesson
Another 44/40 Iron Frame Henry
a Ruger #1 in either 222, 220 swift of 25-06.
More 38/44's.

Beyond that if I am lucky
Model 52 of some type
Another Registered Magnum

Peter M. Eick

Minor comment. I noticed she did not have safety glasses on. I assume this was for a photo shoot, but if it were "for real" some safety glasses would sure help if you get some side blast or anything else. Just a safety thought for the day.

Peter M. Eick

When I was killing time in Darwin Australia waiting for my ship, I spent several days wandering around the port and government offices reading about the bombing of Australia and their version of Pearl Harbor. It is quite interesting history if you have a few days. Because of that I will buy the DVD ...

Peter M. Eick

I handled and dryfired an original iron framed 1860 henry which must have been made about 1862 but we did not have any rimfire 44 henry to fire in it. Neat gun though it is the reason I have an Cimarron Iron Frame.

Peter M. Eick

Isn't global warming great!

Peter M. Eick

Lots of good information. Yes I am already working with the BLM offices and several of the agencies you named. I also have a very well respected Arch on my project as the lead so things are going very smoothly so far. I am just trying to jump start my mapping program to understand the impact of the ...

Peter M. Eick

I work for an oil company and I have a large seismic project I am working on. I will have receivers and vibe trucks going back and forth over the area and I need to make sure that I properly offset the historic UPRR grade and the Lincoln highway path by a 100 ft corridor on the BLM acreage. Thus the...

Peter M. Eick

I know how you feel. We just lost a hard drive at home and after much work all that was lost was a few emails. I use USB external drives for storage and this is what saved us. A few comments. I routinely (at least once a year) get my company computers reformatted and all of the software installed fo...

Peter M. Eick

It should be a lot better then that but I don't have the statistics to prove it.

Peter M. Eick

Thanks for the replys guys. Yes this is central Wyoming we are working on here. In my area, the Lincoln appears to wander a bit and is south of i-80 and yet north of the current UPRR. It appears to be a dirt road most of the way based upon a track I got off the Lincoln Highway societies maps that th...

Peter M. Eick

I know that UPRR has adjusted the alignment in the teens to near its current grade. There is a lot of obvious old RR grades you can see on the Lidar and the airphotos, but the problem is which one is the "right" one. We did email the UPRR and ask them but it is very much like if they asked...

Peter M. Eick

I just thought it was normal for Uberti to put the screws in so tight that they stretch out. Pretty much everyone I have talked to about it said the same things. I tried to take the screws out to clean my Uberti Henry rifle and just gave up. When I need to get them out I will fire up the compressor ...

Peter M. Eick

Thanks. I know in some areas it is well marked but out in my project area I am sort of guessing. The issue is I need to prove that the path I pick is the "correct" one. For this reason I need to find an independently verifiable track of it.

Peter M. Eick

I need to know the exact location of the trace of the Lincoln highway and the original 1869 UPRR grade. I have hired archaeologist to map it for me in my project area, but I would like to get a jump start on their results. I am working in central Wyoming. Does anyone have a suggestion how to find th...

Peter M. Eick

I caught the first show and as a lifelong train buff I was somewhat disappointed. They spent too much time on the non-trains stuff and less on the engines, cars and the practical part of the operations of the railroad. I will be looking forward to the 844 run. I have often wanted to go and videotape...

Peter M. Eick

This does not show the shelves or the storage area, but this is my workspace. I try and keep it very clean and tidied up. The problem is encroachment by others in the house.

Peter M. Eick

A texas hunt sounds interesting. I was thinking about that this morning that I should take along my 44-40 Henry 1860 to the deer camp this year. It would be fun to just play with.

Peter M. Eick

Hang in there. I know my generator got a lot of workout while we were down with no power or water for days. The one thing Ike taught me is that I had originally planned to be "down" for a few days. No, you need to plan on weeks of fuel, water and suppplies. I started a list of things that ...

Peter M. Eick

I put everything into a word and spreadsheet format. I have a word document for every gun where I list every round fired and everything I have done to the gun from cleaning to parts replacement. I also make comments and notes to myself. In my spreadsheet I keep everyround loaded and comments for eac...

Peter M. Eick

Rick wanted to make me get a vaccine for my daughter so she might not get cervical cancer. No way am I going to get that shot given the known and unknown side effects. Rick has been so so as governor. I wont vote for him again if I can help it. I don't like the way he tried to condemn private land f...

#4 for sure.

Working in the oil industry "in the field" I go to some of the more remote poorest places in the 3rd world. It is not worth even listing them out, but the one point that has hit home to me is there is poor everywhere. No matter how hard you try to help, there is still more poor. I also wat...

Peter M. Eick

While not as nice as your weather as we hit nearly 100 today and about 70% humidity, I did take a family friend and here to kids out to shoot 22's. We took out 7 22s in rifle and pistol form and dumped 3000 rnds of 22 today. Amazing how fast the kids could power through the stuff when I spent the ti...

Peter M. Eick

Music to my ears.

Those of us in the exploration side of the oil industry just want to say thanks. It truly brings a tear to the eye to see the love you all have for us now.

Peter M. Eick

I can probably make Waco, but it will all depend if I am in the country at the time.

Peter M. Eick

He was a great announcer on Fox and did even a better job for the President.

He will be sorely missed and he died way too young.

Peter M. Eick

My wife and I watched it and were both shocked at how many of the places mentioned we had been too. You don't realize how much you travel until you see a video like that.

Peter M. Eick

I do it as my relax time. Like tonight. Hit the web for a bit and then I will relax in front of the reloader and make maybe 1000 rnds of 38 special. I was thinking 4.6 grns of Unique with some 158's SWC. Kind of just a nice way to ease back and take it easy. The key for me is to turn the TV off. Onc...

Peter M. Eick

I mights as well add a few 10mm's. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/baer_razor_target.jpg Both 10mm's. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/hwml_grips3.jpg http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/hwml_slide.jpg Les Baer 10mm Heavyweight Monolith which I believe is a one of a kind. And then the bruiser http:...

Grizz, My econ is a bit rusty, so I may be in error in this. My take is Brenneke has to save wall street from the mortgage implosion that would take out a bunch of wall street banks if he did not do something. His only choice is to print money like it is going out of style so he devalues the currenc...

Peter M. Eick

4 inbound and none outbound. I tend to buy rifles rarely as I am mostly a pistol shooter. I cannot think of selling a lever though.

Peter M. Eick

I have a heard of 3 cats myself for the family. Glad to see another saved. I think the reason that some don't like them is owners don't deal with them well. My cats never go outside. Never cruise the neighborhood, don't produce more cats and are absolutely indoor only. They keep the bugs and critter...

Ted's music is an aquired taste. I know when it comes on the XM at the office, I usually crank it up a few notches.

He does have a way with words and I do agree with his points. To bad we don't have more clear thinkers like him in the federal judge ranks or on the court.

Peter M. Eick

Yes he can windfall tax us, but we will just pass the price on to consumers. Not much else we can do but pass our costs on to the users of our products. With an 8% profit margin, there is not much fat left in the cash flow given what Wall Street wants to get out of us. I see we are at $144 no, just ...

Peter M. Eick

Nice summary. I have a few issues though. Having been there, done that and explored ANWR for 7 years of my career, I have a detailed knowledge of where the likely spots for the oil are. Your location pin in the 1002 region is great for PT Thompson field and maybe the downdip turbidites but you canno...

Peter M. Eick

Fortunately I bought my "real" one before the prices exceeded that. Thanks again to my wife for letting me buy my own birthday present.

I agree though. 8 shots is just wrong.
