Its that exit before the BP checkpoint, Corralitos Rd I think it is, there's some kind of Bowlin's tourist trap there. Drive north from the overpass and the road bends around and crosses a cattle guard. The range is open every day except Thursday before 3 pm. There's no range officer, its all self s...

Butterfield range west of LC

Lots of space and usually not crowded... except when I stopped in on Dec 24th, it was packed then. Guess everyone had the day off

Heat lamp for the chikens? How do you figure the electric cost into price of eggs? :D I don't even ask... :lol: I'm in NM now, glad not to be on that mountain for such a cold week.

We used to put a lamp under the sheet too, back before those darn tree hugger bulbs took over the world. You can still get red heat lamps though, I buy them for the chickens, my wife likes to pamper her chickens. At high wattages you do have to make sure the bulb isn't within 3" of anything com...

I agree there is little point to quoting figures without understanding of what they describe or what other variables come into play. Properly placed even a .22 short would likely have done the job, thanks to those other variables rather than it's typical ballistic properties. Regarding the compariso...

First and foremost is my dad's Parker. Collectors view it with horror due to the birdseye maple stock he made, but I'm very attached to it. Aside from that I'm not sure I really prioritize them. I've sold some I didn't much like, but most I plan to keep as long as I can. I've not yet sold a gun that...

She was hiding in a closet, he opened the door. I would suspect the initial reporting may not have included all the facts on the hits. Yeah, reporting hasn't been consistent, I've heard crawlspace, attic, and now closet, and still no idea where the guy was actually hit. Face or torso? Can't expect ...

So how does one get wounds to the liver, lungs, and another organ with five shots to the face/neck? He'd have to be coming up some very steep stairs I guess, shots going through the lower face and into the neck and torso from there. If that were the case her grouping is very good, amazing nothing hi...

I was wondering about that too... got to think that they are including a nicked ear and one through the cheek as head shots. I don't know everything, but I would think a single .38 to the cranium at close range would pretty well finish the job. However, she did manage to neutralize the threat and sa...

Well it sure looks good to me! :mrgreen: I was curious after your last post about it, being kind of interested in rust bluing. If I ever give it a try I'll get the Brownells solution. I may be trading away the shotgun that would be the primary experiment though, so it may never happen. For what its ...

Stuck at work, dull day in the middle of a dull week.

Can't even bring reloading gear up here, its technically part of the UofA campus, so no ammo.

Did make sausage and biscuits for breakfast though, that's always a high point for the day.

Depending on where you are, some of the full retail shops may not sell out as fast. I was in a shop in Alamogordo yesterday, one that charges full MSRP, and they had plenty of what I was after - primers and powder. Some guys don't care much for that shop, which is reasonable when Wally world has the...

The big surplus store (not Jones, the one west of Jones Surplus) on Central in Albuquerque had a couple big boxes of those last summer, I bought one for $7.50 and opened the bottom up to stick my 4 5/8 barrel Vacquero in it. They were all for 4" barrel. If you don't get over there much I can pi...

I've used the hydraulic method with 7.5 Swiss, works great because the crimp is only three spots. Never gotten it to work with full crimped primers in the 7.62 NATO I've tried.

If cetme's ever get up to $1200 or better I'll sell mine. I saw one for that price yesterday somewhere, probably Armslist in Colorado as thats where I've been.

Actually we call that wood " shaggy bark cedar " and yes, it plays havoc on chains you can actually see sparks as you cut it. It is alleged the tree picks up sand from the sandy soil it grows in as it grows. Right you are, I stand corrected :lol: I always figured it was the wind blowing s...

I like your picture, 92&94. Very nice backdrop -- I just stuffed my woodstove with a load of the same wood. What you southwesterners call "cedar" is "juniper" up in this country. Slightly different species here ( western juniper , where yours is probably Utah juniper ) but b...

Not bad at all, nothing like any of my milsurps, which are mostly bolt guns.

Been a long time since I shot either an M1 carbine or SKS, but I would say its about like the SKS, maybe a little more kick than that.

It's a neat drive from desert to fir and spruce forest, Hannagins Meadow is special if it is still there, I don't know if that big fire gobbled it up or not.

Looks like they make an 86 in .45-70, that would be awfully tempting if any of my usual circuit of LGS carried them.
