Dave Barry's Colonoscopy Journal: ... I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly throu...

Maybe I'm confused. The number you posted for the front sight was 579-103-731, which is .375. The sight I thought I might order is .410. That IS a taller sight, right?

Chas.

I don't know if the bbls of the 44 and 45LC are the same dia. as my 357 bbls. I guess I need to ask the rest of the people here to verify those. Steve, I ordered the same sights your used for my 24" 44mag. It shot high and I had to drop the rear sight all the way down to get zero at 50 yds wit...

My .44 dies are carbide so I don't usually lube them, but I lube my 45-70 cases with Crisco. Loaded 1500 +/- without a stuck case.

What I did was really low-tech. First, I stripped it using off-the-shelf stripper from Walmart. Then I used gloss polyurethane finish, also off-the-shelf walmart. When putting it on straight from the can, I was getting air bubbles in it. So I thinned it a bit and that took care of the air bubbles. I...

The top one is as received from Bud's in September. It was the prettiest of the two. The bottom one (also from Bud's), bought last month, had no grain showing, was flat, very dark, and looked much worse than the one on top. It was just a butt ugly duckling. A little refinishing brought out this swan...

First time I've see it too. It's a great anecdote of what Christmas should be about. Thanks for posting.

Both my Marlins cycle just fine, fast or slow. But I don't cycle them REAL fast cause I don't want to have to go to the next county to hunt my brass. Don't stop the down stroke until the lever stops. That's a sure clog. Both my Puma's operate as smooth as the Marlins with the same eccentricities.

Until recently they were about the same. Now the Legacy (LSI) Puma's are made by Chiappa of Italy. Evidently, Legacy owns the PUMA name and can have anybody make them.

I'd love to be able to shop at Numrich, but the search engine there absolutely hates me.

Chas.

Nate's right. The collagen has to break down and it takes time. Sometimes they get to 170-180 and plateau there for 3-4 hours. When the temp does decide to go on up, it goes up pretty fast. I've pulled them off at 190 but they fall apart better at 200-205. I don't use the oven. Mine are done full ti...

O.S.O.K. we need an update. How did your butt turn out.

Abour the spring, this is what Steve sent me in an email: "The DVD not only covers normal takedown but it also covers the modification for the action work. It covers all the refitting of the parts and the mods to all the springs but one, the ejector spring. Because this spring is the heart of t...

Although it's listed on the Marlin website, the .357 Cowboy is rare.

I've been looking for one at Bud's for a LONG time and there have been none.

Davidson's also has none but I don't know how long they've been out.

If Marlin's making them, they must be going to big-box retail.

O.S.O.K. wrote:The smoker is pretty hot - in excess of 300 - I keep it stoked. I'm not patient enough for 12 hours!

I've never smoked them at that high a temp but I've never smoked just one. I usually smoke at least 4 at a time. Let me know how it turns out.

Chas.

I smoke mine at 250 degrees grate temp until internal temp is 195-200. It usually takes 12-16 hours. They pull good. If you only smoke it 4 hrs. it may still be raw inside.

Chas.

The most accurate gun I have gets cleaned once a decade, whether it needs it or not. It's my 1946 Remington Scoremaster 511 .22 that my dad purchased new. I've had it now for a couple of cleanings (read decades) and it'll outshoot any of my lever guns.

Chas.

I normally use a fishing sinker a bit larger than the bore, but I had none that would work with .44 caliber. So I took a .44 180gr cast, stood it on end, and pounded it with a hammer which enlarged the diameter. Then I lubed it good and drove it through from the muzzle using a wooden dowel. It was l...

I got one of Bud's .44 mag Rossi/Puma's a couple of weeks ago. The barrel slugs .428 for the groove and .424 for the lands which makes for some shallow rifling. Anyway, I replaced the front sight with no mods and the rear sight with a thin piece of paper label stuck to the bottom of the sight doveta...

Chas.

What we commonly refer to as walnut is actually Eastern Black Walnut which is actually a type of hickory. The stocks on the Rossi's may very well be what is commonly called Brazilian Walnut. Although not related to the Eastern Black Walnut, the wood is similar. If the Rossi's actually used Eastern B...

I'm sure it's a Rossi. You can see the safety on top of the bolt.

If you'll notice, the greenhill formula ignores bullet weight. It's only concerned with bullet length. I'm not defending the formula, just providing some enlightenment.

Chas.

COSteve, those are sights that I would like to get. Thanks for the Brownell's part numbers.

Did you have to doctor the dovetail to get them to fit? I've read that the Rossi/Puma has dovetail cuts that are just a wee bit different than standard.

Chas.

I've bought my 2 grandsons a .44mag levergun. One grandson was born last July and the other was born this month. I may wait a couple of years to give them their guns though.

Chas.

Pick whatever gloves you like for hunting and cut the glove finger off. Then you only have to hide that finger which should be much easier. I know mine stays in my nose a lot.

Mr. Miller, your response was right on the money. Forearm is now off. Many thanks.

Chas.

I have one of the later Rossi-made Puma '92s in .44mag caliber, 24" octagonal barrel. Although the wood looks pretty good underneath, the finish is horrible. I would like to refinish but am having trouble removing the forearm. This is one that has the nose-cap rather than the barrel-band. I hav...

Get and give receipts unless you are dealing in stolen items. The BATF does not know what happens between individuals regardless of some advice you have been given That would be my advise as well. If you bought that gun new, it very likely CAN be traced to you via manufacturer, wholesaler, and deal...

Newbie here. This weekend I comitted to buy a Puma 44mag., 24" octagonal from Bud's for $386. That seemed like a very good price. Is this a deal or about the normal price?
