That 25-35 especially looks like a right sweet package! Have had a thing for that caliber for most of my life, and the high wall platform just sweetens the deal!

Empty, plowed, fallow fields are great for walking shots onto a target. Up in NW CO one year we were invited out to a family's place. We ended up on the deck, shooting out at random weeds in an empty field. It was the first time I got to try my 3" Taurus 44 spl past "normal" ranges. O...

Long range can be relative. I like to stretch out the Baikal IZH46M to 50 meters, although it's been quite a while since I did that. Years ago I got a group of about an inch at that distance, doubt I could equal that today. I was holding just about the entire barrel up in the rear sight and placing ...

My first reloading setup that involved more than a knife and a stick was one of the Lee Loader kits for 38/357. The trouble I ran into was it only resized the neck area. So a cartridge fired in a loose chamber could not be reloaded and fired in a tight chamber. Later I picked up a Lee Speed Die and ...

Yep, that's Kelly!! Glad y'all were able to get together.

Paul, did you just dump them in or actually try to stack them? Being as they are a shuttlecock i wonder if they would self right... If I recall correctly, I mostly just dumped them in helter skelter. These were cup shaped with parallel (allegedly) sides. The second worst pellets I've ever had. The ...

I've thought about trying pellets in shotshells, though I haven't taken the time to do it as I'm sure it would be frustrating trying to stack them ! Probably work wonders on garden pests but not worth the effort! Way back in the 20th Century, the national brands put out some truly awful pellets, un...

"Something's not right! Something's not right!" Hey, nothing gets past a good dog, even a weird craft project! Reminds me of the time Biscuit went on full alert over a pineapple on the kitchen counter. And as you say, he might well save your lives one day.

Is that a 22 LR? Interesting, indeed. I'd not heard of them yet.

I would rather it look good than have the safety.
You ain't talking me out of it!

I, for one, greatly appreciate hearing how these rifles are shooting. I'm curious about heavier (300 gr +/-) bullets are moderate velocities. "Just because". Scott, your limiting to SAA level loads is intriguing as well.

One thing most of y'all probably don't have to worry much about is "being made" by someone giving you a hug. That's a part of latino culture that complicates CCW as you've got to find ways to not only cover your pistol but prevent it from being touched inadvertently.

Funny, thought I'd posted in this thread. Back in the day when suit and tie were more often used, no one ever noticed the heavier side pocket of my jacket. Nowadays an untucked shirt or western vest does the honors, but IWB is mostly used. One very good option would be one of Skinner Sights Bible co...

Wrong time, no funds available. Still had fun watching them gradually get knocked down one at a time. Considering they mostly all have Slixshot (or whatever the brand is) cones installed and the cost of the custom sight and installation thereof, prices were on the low side for many of them. Had my e...

I've been messing around with the Epiphone for the past few weeks. I've got three options to plug it in, an Orange Crush BX25 bass amp, a powered PA type speaker and a First Act MA104 4 watt amp I picked up at a garage sale years ago for $10 or so. That El Cheapo amp doesn't sound half bad, all thin...

Timing is interesting, right while folks are trying to put an end to the NFA. Weird.

I was dragged into NYC last year by my darling bride. We spent a day walking the city and looking at this and that. When we reached the twin towers memorial there was one name I looked for.

Thank you!

Thank you!

That is nice ! Please record some of your playing on a phone and share here. My spanglish is rusty but I listen to it quite often on y.t.

Nice, reflector knobs and zebra pickups are a classic look - congrats and happy birthday! I wouldn't feel bad about the bass amp. Some of the greatest rock tones ever recorded were done with a guitar through a bass amp, Leslie West on Mississippi Queen being one that comes to mind immediately. The ...

Thank you! I'm doing my best!

Any update? I caught the notice he gave on FB. Give him our best regards. Prayer support continues.

Well, I didn´t see it coming. We "had to run an errand" to the shopping center. No big deal. We somehow managed to find ourselves in front of the music store where I pick up strings or other necessary things on occasion, and rubber neck frequently. I saw the place where a guitar I've had m...

A few years ago I picked up a Rossi external hammer double 12 gauge. The firing pins were peened something fierce, but Jack First supplied new and improved ones. Part of the allure for the piece was that very "poor man's double rifle" vibe. BUT there was that panic driven shortage going on...

Those guys crack me up. "You'd think this was a quality firearm, but it's not." I'm not sure what they judge as "a quality firearm", but putting up with that sort of abuse and coming up grinning and asking for more? that's one decent shooting iron, right there. By the way, that's...

I"ve yet to see one in the flesh. Reviews I've seen so far tend to go from "It's the ugliest waste of scrap iron on the market" to "The greatest thing since sliced bread". I'd like a chance to coonfinger one a while, out of curiosity.

To our Powder Valley family, Thank you for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers. It has completely filled our hearts. We truly are part of the very best community in the world, and we love our Powder Valley family more than we can say. It’s been an emotional time, but receiving your messages...

Back in the 20th Century, I knew of folks in the Amazon basin that carried a 44-40 round with them in their hunting pouch, precisely for that "what if" situation they might face should a large amazonian feline come calling while they were waiting for deer at night. They didn't trust their ...

Powder Valley Outdoors To our Powder Valley family, We’re okay. The calls you get at 3 a.m. are never the ones you want. Early Sunday morning, a fire tore through our primary warehouse and offices. It’s a devastating, total loss of the building and the inventory inside. What matters most is that eve...

Don't know if you're using enough gun for gophers, but you're definitely using a right purty one!

Welcome to the fire! There are plenty of Henry fans around here. My "baby brother" bought a used 22 leveraction from someone a while back. He's not much of a shooter so hadn´t even taken it to the range when he loaned it to me. I found the inner mag tube that contains the spring and follow...

The base gun was made in 1930'sh and is the Stevens 520 . Everything on these are built from heavy drop forged parts. I've got it all disassembled and will detail clean it Friday. One screw was missing I'll need to make. But it's tight and bore is mirror shine. Came out of Nebraska probably somebod...

Glad to hear it made it to you! Those old pumps are sleepers. Many folks don't realize how good the store brands can be.

There are changes in the offing. Thanks for your patience. Hopefully we'll soon have this issue taken care of.

Just deleted 29 spammers :evil: they seem to be able to log on when it takes me forever :( And I just deleted over 100 inactive accounts - all spammers as best I could figure. Don't know how a) they manage to register an account, and b) login and spam the forum - when REAL folks who like leverguns ...

Back a couple of decades ago, we were given permission to hunt an old abandoned farm in SW MO. The place was loaded with fox squirrel, very few grays. I had better luck with the old Ruger SS than I did with a rifle that year. My wife and sister-in-law cooked them up, shredded the meat and made coxin...

Wow. Sure seems like a 300-grain bullet at 1,000-plus could do a whole lot of good work -- and a pretty good job on my old wrists! :lol: I found a box of 20 of those loads last year when I was digging through my reloading gear. I had not shot my Linebaugh Ruger in a long time so I grabbed that box ...

I was contacted early this morning and I put in a message to Andy. He's on it, looking at an upgrade that should put this issue to rest. So if we go offline again, don´t panic.

Bill in Oregon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 9:13 am Paul, why is his name so familiar I wonder?

He's active on a lot of gun forums, I believe, especially the Remington collectors. And he's pitched in here a lot of times to get us up and running again.

Dave Fagan is the real hero in all this. He's pulled our chestnuts out of the fire many times over the years. I, for one, am VERY thankful to him for that.

Model 1885 in 38-55 or 45-70 or 50-70. Yeah, it's a singleshot, but it's definitely got an underlever!

Glad we got you back up and running!
