Here's one I took at the local airport one evening

The oct. barrel rifle is much longer (24", I think) compared to the 20" carbine. This would give a better sight radius if using open or peep sights. I have a 39A Marlin which I shortened to 18" to reduce front end weight, due to my dodgy shoulders. It is very twitchy with open sights,...

I don't own one, but all the threads I have read suggest that you have the same problem as shooting 38 spl in a 357 or 44 spl in a 44 mag, and that is that the chamber needs a real good scrubbing after shooting a large amount of the shorter cases. I have also read a number of threads which suggest t...

I generally start with starting loads in a manufacturers manual, like Alliant, ADI, Lyman, Lee's second ed. then work up from there. Some loads will max out at, or near, max book loads and others will go well beyond the book before getting best accuracy. I have had loads where I chickened out with n...

You'd think a country that's been through a few good wars would know the value of keeping a well armed militia, but not Britain. They probably chopped up all those beautiful old rifles and sent them to Japan as pig iron. I just watched the first episode of Wartime Kitchen and Garden. Thanks for the ...

I did a bunch of casting today, and I'm sore all over and absolutely knackered. My back, shoulders, hands, pretty much everything above the waist is suffering. I did about 1000 105gr for the 32-20 using a 4 gang Accurate aluminium mold, then switched to my Mihec 360640 4 gang brass mold to cast abou...

My apologies to 2571.
I hadn't realized you'd heard this one before.
Next time I find something so funny that I dang near pee myself laughing, I will check with you before sharing it.

Had to agree with his statement towards the end.
It's humiliating to need that much help, but humbling to know that so many friends would offer it.
He would have been a good man to know.

I had the privilege of working in the first rotary dairy installed in the southern hemisphere, back in the early 70s. The first day in the new dairy, the boss came in to teach everyone how to use the new system. He walked up to the first cow, which promptly booted him fair between the eyes. While he...

OK enough of the bulldung, lets moove on.

President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang. "Hello, President Obama” a heavily accented southern voice said. "This is Archie, down here at Joe's Catfish Shack, in Mobile , and I am callin' to tell ya’ll that we are officially declaring war on y'all!" "W...

Actually, when I saw the title my first thought was "I married one".

and last week we had our 33rd wedding anniversary, so yeh I guess I do.

If their demands are legal then I guess your only option is to buckle to them or say adios. On the other hand if the demands contravene your rights in some way you could point this fact out to them. If you don't have time to work it out, IE they want you to sign today, you could sign, then investiga...

This is about the only forum that I visit on a daily basis. Elsewhere I can go once a week or once a month and catch up on everything I've missed.
I'd be curious to know where folks are going that they think is better than here.

I've never seen ploughing like that before.
They'd sure turn over a lot of acreage in a day, as long as they get the synchronized cornering right.

Don't underestimate a standard poodle. They are a German hunting dog, not a French madams lapdog. They can be quite protective of their people, and have been Schutzhund trained. I believe that at one point they were also used as a police dog in Germany. Also, that poofy French hairdo that some owner...

I strapped on the Blackhawk and it felt like a box of mechanic's tools hanging off my hip. I'd hazard a guess and say that's because of the leatherwork rather than the gun. I can carry a 40oz single six or security six all day around our range and not even notice it's there. I had a gunbelt made fo...

Hey Y'all, in todays paper they announced a 6 month freeze on the import of these shotguns because they are dangerous weapons capable of shooting up to 8 shots in 8 seconds. The claim by the anti gun lobby and the anti gun politicians is that the import of these guns is an attempt to circumvent the ...

Here in the land of Oz we have a law that states "you can use any means necessary to stop the theft of a motor vehicle" However, in reality I don't know if I would be game to use anything more forceful than stern words, because our draconian justice and legal system would more than likely ...

Thanks Blaine
Had to do that a few times in my life, I'd swear it gets harder every time.

Seems to me that more people in Australia have been killed in the last few years with cricket bats and balls than with guns. Perhaps if one million or so shooters started to vocally campaign for the banning of such dangerous sporting equipment it would give the retards in Canberra something else to ...

Hey Pop, you could have sent him one of those uniquely Australian kangar(00) coin bags

Many years ago I sent one to the FIL in UK, he had a ball showing it to all his mates at work.

As to the people on this site, I could not agree with you more, they really are a top bunch of blokes.

I love mine. It's more accurate than my 357, has no recoil to speak of, and it is reasonably quiet with mild loads. If you plan to hunt with it, I would think of it as the next step up from a .22 magnum, IE, same or slightly better velocity and trajectory and over twice as much lead. These days all ...

Very sorry to hear this, I hope you take comfort in knowing that he passed peacefully.

Hey Casastahle, that's what you call an impressive woman. A rifle over one shoulder and a deer over the other, and all without looking like a cross between a Russian wrestler and a grizzly bear.

As the British, Australian, 1930s German, and many other people around the world have discovered. The government cannot subjugate its people while they are well armed and in a position to communicate and organize a resistance. First they disarm you and take away your ability to organize. Then they r...

I'm scratching my head here, are you saying they did a warranty repair on a tool that is over 35 years old?
Most warranties these days aren't good for 35 minutes, let alone years.
Hope you get another 35 out of it before you have to send it back again.

Awesome bug out vehicle after a nuclear war or an EMP

Or a silent deer stalker with a deer carrier rack both front and rear

Seriously, A bike that heavy and that light on for gears would get you fit and there's no way you'd ever wear it out.

gundownunder

That would work.
Would you be better off cutting the center out of the top rim so that the pot sits down in the rim, closer to the fire.
You'd get more heat and also a lower center of gravity for what potentially could be a very heavy pot.

Turkeys are usually the target that sorts the men from the boys, so if you got more turkeys you probably were the best shooter on the day. However, the winner is the one with the highest score for the overall match, irrespective of individual targets. If the NRA rules mandate a shootoff, he will for...

Looks nice from a distance. I'd want to look at it real close before handing over a big wad of cash for a Remlin.

It's ugly
It's not a lever action
It's got no wood

Quick question
How do you contact the moderators to ask them to remove undesirable stuff from this forum

gundownunder

How long did it take you to find the fox in all that smoke

gundownunder

When you melted the heat treated bullets you didn't skim off any dross did you. If you did you would have removed some of the additives, leaving a purer lead which may not treat as well as before.

gundownunder

wow, thanks for sharing.

I'd always thought that open carry would be a clear and visible deterrent, and concealed left you open to attack just like every other "soft" target. Maybe there is no "right" answer to the question.

Basic stuff like CCI SR primers, CCI solid Minimags etc will take a call to 2 -3 shops. Prices go up a heck of a lot faster than my pay does. If you ask for something a little less common, such as Starline 32-20 brass, 99% of shops will laugh at you and the last one will want an arm, a leg, and one ...

I just love happy endings.

The scumbags also get to live and tell their kids and grandkids that they got their scars when some old grandpappy whooped their butts. That might stop us from getting second and third generation scumbags.

I don't know much about these armored dillos but would you be able to feed a garden hose full of black powder down the burrow and blow both burrow and dillo to kingdom come.

gundownunder

That would have been a scary experience for all concerned.
I'll bet that shooters times went completely to manure for the rest of that day.

I first saw that video on the flow hives a few weeks ago and thought it was revolutionary. Turn a tap and get honey, what could be easier. If you want to populate a hive there are two ways that I know of, one, buy a swarm, and two, go out and catch a swarm when they migrate. Every so often a hive sp...

I wonder, if at 75, he still sleeps with a night light so that the dark doesn't get scared.

If those puppies look impressive, imagine what the original Mollosus dogs would have been like. Would also be interesting to see how they stack up against a good sized Neapolitan mastiff. The neos have a reputation for guarding "by any means necessary", they will kill to defend what is the...

Looks like a whole lot of work for not a lot of gain. I did hear about a similar idea decades ago about using zinc washers in the same way. First you'd need a custom mold, then do a lot of extra fiddling about during casting,whilst trying to keep the mold hot and not burn your fingers. Then you'd ha...

We got bucket loads of 32-20 and 44-40 leverguns in Oz because back in the days before everything had to shoot at 4000 fps or better the 32-20 and 44-40 were considered to be just about ideal for our kind of shooting. About the only thing they couldn't do well was scrub bull and buffalo, and even th...

Go to Google, select images, then search for "Michele Mercier movies"
That picture comes up about 13 rows down, Hard to believe when you look at the other pics of her.

The first one had me a bit stumped, but I guessed, NOT 100.
So can I claim half a point for that?

As for the rest, they were so blatantly obvious that I managed to get them all wrong

Kind of makes you wonder who the idiots are that make up names for things.

Looks like a good feed of rabbit there, enjoy

Hey Y'all, I'd just like to publicly thank John for the gift he sent me.
The book " Sixguns by Keith " arrived in the mail today.
Thank you John, I will treasure it and one day somebody will inherit it from me.

Feral cats are a very tough animal. Many years ago I shot one on the Nullarbor Plains, He was the size of one of those big British breeds, probably up near 20 lb. It was a good shot, right between the eyes from 25yds with a Win Powerpoint. At the time the cat was sitting in a crows nest in a tree. A...
