Seems like you may have taken a shine to these Predator engines. I was amazed at the number of performance upgrades people in the aftermarket are making for them.

Rimfire McNutjob

That's a great find.

Swing and a miss for Central Florida. I think it's busy soaking Jacksonville and Brunswick at the moment. Hopefully Savannah and the coastal Carolina's will just get a good rain and not any of the hard winds as well. On the plus side, nobody seems to have gone to work yesterday or today so the roads...

" ...I live for pop tarts and was miffed... " :lol: Gotta have a stash...those things probably have a 50-year shelf-life...! I'd still rather deal with a hurricane than a tornado though...! Yeah, we've had some tornadoes cut some amazingly destructive swaths around here over the years. I'...

Changed the battery and the oil in my generator and tested the automatic transfer switch. Stupid Group 29NF battery ... of course, try finding one of those in stock somewhere. I think my marriage vows somewhere mentioned continual air-conditioning or something ... come rain or shine. Cleaned stuff o...

Nice. FYI, your extractor links are backwards. The .38 links points to the .45 extractor and vice versa.

This page may also hold a potential replacement. I have a 2 leaf from them on a Win 71.

The book is starting to annoy my wife. I'm apparently spending too much time with it ... so I've been told.

Had a Canjar on a #1 Tropical in 375 H&H that,I had. Sweet trigger. Wish I had one for my 25.06 #1 Varmint. Yeah, I knew the trigger would be hard to find so I bought one many years ago thinking that I'd get a No.1 someday. I have a Canjar for a 581/2 I've adapted one to a Rem 591. Might be the...

I got mine in the mail on Saturday. I'm about 1/2 way through it. Fantasic book ... tons of images of internals as well as the external views. Really helpful in showing the different engineering changes over the years. Really high quality printing and binding it seems. I didn't realize the take-down...

I've always heard that No.1's needed a bit of help but were then usually very accurate. I've got a Canjar single-set trigger for the No.1 lying around in a drawer here somewhere. Never could decide on a chambering so I am still without one. My 22-250 AI has a Canjar in it , I wish they still made t...

I'm liking that Greener Martini ... but I do love me some rimfire.

Over the air broadcast is pretty much going the way of the dinosaur. A lot of content that used to be carried over the air has moved to cable only. Or ... you can stream if off of the internet. I'm surprised the local stations can even still exist. Even cable is getting slaughtered. Most things carr...

Sounds like Alabama wasn't following its own laws and thus their CCP is now disqualified. Seems straightforward enough.

Rimfire McNutjob

Thanks Rimfire. 20 inch barrel. I used to run QuickLoad but I didn't reload it after my most recent computer rebuild. They still haven't characterized a bunch (any really) of the newer powders from Alliant or Hodgdon. I'm still waiting on MP300 to show up in their library ... then I'll update my ve...

You'd probably need to provide the barrel length.

I find myself liking the Speer Gold Dot stuff in just about every caliber they tested. Even impressive in the 380 where a lot of the HP's (HydraShok for example) didn't open at all.

Rimfire McNutjob

The street map is missing my house but the imagery layer has it there.

Rimfire McNutjob

Well, it looks better than my Beretta 84F. I'm sure it kicks less too. Crazy blow-back 380's.

Rimfire McNutjob

My father had an old GI issued 1911 that had a particularly bad quirk. Cocked and Locked was in no way safe. Squeezing the trigger with a normal pull weight would discharge it. The safety was clearly broken in some way internally.

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm not sure which would do more damage ... being shot with it or being hit over the head with it. That is a serious barrel on that Sharps.

Rimfire McNutjob

Got mine. Appreciate the direct link. Love me some '95 ... though I lack one in my current herd. Hoping for one in 35 WCF some day.

Rimfire McNutjob

Yeah, I like to swing by the Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing site now and again to dream. I can stare at the engraved Fox copies in 28 and 410 for hours. But there's nothing on those pages under $20k. Something worth noting “original” AH Fox guns were ONLY made in 12 , 16 and 20 gauges . That's i...

I was really curious when I saw the title. That is super handy. I've got a 5hp two-stage Ingersol-Rand and my brain was just racing trying to figure out how someone would build a cabinet for it. Your solution is perfect though. I've got a Hankison air dryer attached to mine so I would have to build ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice looking gun. I've always wanted a side-by-side in 28 or 410. I'm always hesitant because I'm not knowledgeable in that area.

Rimfire McNutjob

The background music is perfect.

Rimfire McNutjob

Oh, I didn't realize the Encore Pro Hunter was a full rifle. My brain was thinking of the original Contender pistol.

Rimfire McNutjob

Out of curiosity, did you ever happen to touch off a 338 Federal in the T/C Encore? Was there a tendon/ligament check afterward?

How is it you don't have a #1 in 338 Federal? Or was it your father with the #1 stash?

Rimfire McNutjob

Well Sir, there is only one thing left to do . . . . ... :lol: Exactly ... someone is simply going to have to take one for the team and burn some black powder. I'm thinking they might get that 300 grain to 2000fps. I think Val is right on the 450 grain though ... 1500 with the wind behind you.

Rimfire McNutjob

Rimfire, you have to keep changing "your store" on the Academy Web site while looking for this shotgun to see if it is in stock. The stores I checked were either out or showed "limited stock," which I called to confirm. Yeah, I figured that out eventually. And I have discovered ...

Rimfire McNutjob

I struck out. My Academy had a 410 single shot only. This one must be hard to find. The noobs behind the counter were no help.

Rimfire McNutjob

Great ... now I have to swing by Academy on my way home. What do I tell my wife ... that it's traditional here to give a pre-4th of July gift?

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm calling BS on their claim of 2,000 fps with black powder. Although the 1886 is certainly capable of that kind of performance with smokeless powder, it's just not going to get there with BP. Factory loads with a 400 gr. bullet and a full charge of BP were 1500 fps. BP wont burn fast enough to ge...

Rimfire McNutjob

@crs, smokeless sure. The 45-90 is about the same water capacity as my 450 Alaskan. But black powder pushing 450 grains to 2000fps ... that seems a stretch for the 45-90. I think maybe a 300 or maybe even a 350. It will be interesting to see what Mr. Wright comes back with for his 300's.

Rimfire McNutjob

I didn't realize one could push a 450 grain bullet to 2000fps with black powder. That's right up at 4000 ft-lbs. A lighter bullet sure, but a 450? Any black shooters loading the 45-90?

Rimfire McNutjob

You should compromise and get a 10mm.

I'm eagerly awaiting BlaineG to come plowing into this thread.

I see Rusty is back to full stride. Nice.

Rimfire McNutjob

Yes, hopefully you guys are having a decent day. Of course, RIHMFIRE is down near me so I know he's hot today. It's brutal out in central Florida.

Everyone knows that only the 22 Remington Jet can be relied upon to dispatch a Chupacabra. I keep several Smith 53's handy.

I took 6 rifles in 22 PPC 6mm PPC 222 Remington magnum 224 Weatherby Magnum 22-250 17 Remington Average distance is 250 with some closer and as many as you want to shoot out to and beyond 600 yards... I read countless articles when I was a kid comparing the 22-250 and the 220 Swift for varmint hunt...

Rimfire McNutjob

I had a whole other REM cycle to complete when you took that photo.

And what was the cartridge of choice for this particular activity? What kind of average distance is a PD shoot in that part of the country?

Rimfire McNutjob

I was confused as to what he was using the Caldwell bags for. Clearly not their intended purpose.

At 2600fps, that 300 grain bullet is still in the 4500 ft-lb area. But 350 grains at 2800? That's 6000. I'm not sure I want to see that at the end of a curved butt plate.

Rimfire McNutjob

Is he running a 350 grain bullet up to 2800fps? I don't even want to know the pressures. That seems pretty high for the 50-110. 2350fps with 350 grains is plenty stiff enough for me.

Rimfire McNutjob

I just read that article online the other day. Pretty nice piece of wood there. I may go back and re-read. I'm wondering what the original purpose of the Rigby Flat was? I Googled it of course. In the case of some of the pictures shown, it seems to bring the barrel and receiver together aesthetically.

Though it's not very straightforward, these updates can be put off. I was on 1709 for a log time and just moved to 1903 recently ... on my own schedule. It's unfortunate that some of these enormous updates are set to d/l and install automatically. In the command bar, type 'gpedit.msc' and hit enter....

Steve, you should ditch that rotational drive and move to a SATA SSD or, if you've got the port, an NVMe SSD. Nothing changed my view of Windows more than that one move to new solid state drive technology. I'm in Win10/Pro about 3.5 seconds after my machine powers on.

Rimfire McNutjob

Was the sliding gate a method of getting around the Winchester (King's) patent? Just wondering.
