I like that caliber! Always been a fan of 6.5's. Please let us know how it shoots!
Been thinking about a model 70 I have and if I should re barrel it into one of the 6.5's... Creedmore, 260 Rem, 6.5x.284- can't make up my mind... Maybe that's why it is still sitting in the closet?

GunnyMack

So I took it apart to do trigger job, right barrel broke about 8.7-10.0 lbs! Not consistent at all. Left barrel was nice but almost 7 lbs. I found many burrs to clean up, sear angles were good, but the worst thing I found was the right sear had a high spot where the sear pin went through to hold it ...

Well, I still think like I'm 18, then I stand up and my knees hurt, back is killing me and then my mind says HEY DUMMY YOU ARE OLD! So no I don't think I'd go back. Now I'm a bit younger, circa '69, but I still wouldn't go back. If I could go back, maybe post civil war so I could meet my grandfather...

You drink the ones that you received from your loving friends and family!

The description on gun broker said it had upgraded wood. The pics showed blonde wood, not as much figure so I was very surprised when I opened the hard case and saw this wood. I'm happy with the wood! That pic I took before I rubbed out the finish. Getting ready to take it apart and work on the trig...

As FWiedner states, the receiver is heat treated, let's not forget Ruger investments casts their receivers, they are HARD and Tough! Once that arc was struck the heat treat is ruined. The rear bridge is probably ok but the front ring is not safe anymore. I wouldn't shoot that Mini! When I was in sch...

A health care tax is on everything purchased in Canada. Granted their health care isn't great but everyone pays for it. Besides when the sun burns out in another 4.5 billion years we won't have to worry! I haven't had health insurance in almost 4 years, it's cheaper for me to pay the 'fine' than sig...

I've did it before and I'll say it again- there is not 1 original idea worth a handful of 22 lr in Hollywood anymore. Hasn't been one in many years!

GunnyMack

Took these last night. Finish was kind of dull so I spent half hour trying to find my can of Ultra Finish, still no idea where I left it, I tried liquid flitz and cotton ball. NOW the stock shines!

GunnyMack

Yeah that's right the BIG DOG is in da house!!

GunnyMack

I hope so too, it's not gritty just HEAVY.
I'm sure it'll smooth out with use but I want to see the guts for myself, lube everything and then go shoot some birds!

GunnyMack

Got the call from my LD about 2 this afternoon. I was just finishing up the job for the day so I headed right over to pick up my new CZ 410. Fill out the paperwork after waiting my turn, guy ahead of me buying 2 AR lowers...no cash on hand, CC machine not working. He leaves to find an ATM. Gent behi...

GunnyMack

Yeah Six I don't care for Oaks either. The older I get the less I like crowds.
Maybe everyone has relaxed after the election and they are Christmas shopping?
I spent the weekend behind the dog hunting Chinese yard birds!

GunnyMack

458 SOCOM?
I looked at that and the 450 Bushmaster, I bought the bushmaster.

GunnyMack

GREAT FIND SIX! Can't say I have ever seen a mould that drops 4 different calibers.
Now I'm sorry I didn't go to she show, maybe if I had and we met up some of your luck would have rubbed off !

GunnyMack

Oh boy can anyone say LAW SUIT?
Think I would stay away from that guy at the range!

GunnyMack

Yes! I agree it probably is a long LOP , I think it was listed at 14&5/8. Thanks for that heads up!

GunnyMack

Exactly my point, the shooter NEEDS time behind the gun to learn it. I have been a competitive Olympic trap shooter since the late 80's. I have shot Remington 3200's, miss them, Brownings, Beretta's and Perazzi's for competition. Again 10's of thousands of rounds and I can pick up just about any sho...

16" naval gun is the only way to go for brush busting!

Wait for a shot not obstructed. I'd rather let the animal walk away then chance wounding it.

GunnyMack

Grand indeed! Beautiful bird and with a flinter! Well done!

GunnyMack

JohnDe- happy to be of service! I found that with a quick google search before I left this morning to pheasant hunt. I got 1, my dog, Claro got 1. She saves me ammo! I have older loading manuals that show Blue Dot for 41 mag. I'm thinking there was an old formulation of Blue Dot and WAS safe. And th...

GunnyMack

So are we talking dry firing for trigger control or to relax springs? If dry fire practice, just remove FP and practice to your hearts desire. No matter what I'm shooting, pistol,rifle, shotgun when I'm done I always relax the springs if it's possible. Some springs always have some tension on them. ...

GunnyMack

Health insurance is SO high because GOVERNMENT is involved, lawyers have sued and we have allowed it!
What I keep scratching my head over is WHY we are made to take it...? The "affordable" health care act is far from it! Not to mention it's a train wreck.

Throw the cats out and let the fox in! Might be a bit nippy but still better then a cat!

GunnyMack

The biggest thing is the older doubles have 'poor' stock geometry, now that's not a knock against the guns, but the stocks were just not designed properly. We have gotten taller as a whole so LOP is usually short, drop at comb/heel are too much and people just don't learn to shoot the gun. My Redhea...

Is it wired for electric start or do you have to stop at the bottom of the hill to pull start?

A friend of mine and his dad would take road trips every summer on their Goldwings. Ira( dad) made a trailer out of a beer keg. He took a model T coil and installed a button on the back of the keg with a sign that said KIDS- PUSH BUTTON TO HEAR SOUNDS. they would pull into a diner/ truck stop and th...

A buddy of mine was given a Marlin 38-55, we finally tracked down a box of factory loads and took it to try it out. Couldn't hit paper at 50! So we moved to 25 and put a bigger piece of paper up, then we found it shot patterns instead of groups. We knew the bore was dark and pitted but had no idea i...

UPS has it in my state!
Hope I can get it Tuesday!

GunnyMack

The Jan/Feb issue of RIFLESHOOTER has a levergun article as well. Although this article is on 30-30's.
Winchester 94, Marlin 336C and Mossberg 464. Why not the Henry?

GunnyMack

Just checked UPS, it has left Hogkins Ill. Scheduled to hit my dealer on Monday.

GunnyMack

As far as rimfires, when I lived at 6200' elevation out in Colorado, we sighted our 22's in at 100 yards. We could grab a brick of 22's, head to a pasture poodle town and shoot from 0-200 with rimfires and anything past with center fires. Heat up your 22-250, swap to your 22! So much fun watching yo...

Amen Brother John!
How are your loads ?

I knew with Thanksgiving it wasn't going to ups all that fast. Yesterday I kept thinking it was Tuesday, not Wensday! Then it hit me it was a whole week since I paid for it and hadn't heard a thing from either dealer. This was the first time for me to buy online, only reason I did was the CZ was cou...

GunnyMack

Last Wensday was the end of a GB auction, I won it, a CZ Ringneck 410. I called the seller that night to give CC for payment.
Yesterday as I was driving home I called my dealer, NOPE WE DONT HAVE IT YET.
So I called the seller about it- OH WE FORGOT TO SHIP IT BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY.

GunnyMack

Boy that's nice! Good wood, Nitro proof, nice engraving. Hope you kill some geese with it!
Looks like it has been apart a few times from the screw heads.

GunnyMack

Roger bad reflections!

GunnyMack

In this case the bend was from someone NOT getting the spring cocked. When the barrel closed under spring pressure the barrel slammed and the muzzle kept going causing the front sight up. When he was beating that babbit bar he held the breech end with the sights up, with the bend. Have to eyeball wh...

Years ago had a crippled buck here, hit by a car, tried for a week to catch up with him to end his suffering. Since I'm in a neighborhood I couldn't just grab a gun and shoot him. Finally on CHRISTMAS eve I saw him in the yard, went upstairs and eased a window open, stuck my 10/22 out the window and...

Is that the finish wearing or is it a camo job?

GunnyMack

Huh? I can't hear you! That looks a bit like a 40 s&w case that fired from an early pistol caliber AR a buddy of mine has. Took a while to figure out how to spring it. Somewhere I have 9mm that were shot from my G23, they feed from the mag and if the extractor grabs them the gun is reliable- but...

Now you need a trench coat!

Did they ask for the bent barrel back? I had an RWS air rifle I picked up with a bent barrel, still shot great but always high. While is was at TSJC gun smith school an instructor showed us how to straighten barrels, WHACK IT ON A BLOCK OR BABBIT! But you have to hit it with the bend, not against. I...

GunnyMack

Now your 'pimpin' I picked up a blackhawk in 41 years ago, has more holster wear then use. I took the aluminum grip frame off and replaced it with a brass frame from Midway. Then I put a set of cocobolo grips on it. Someday I'll give it an action job and fresh blueing. Buddy of mine has a Bearcat wi...

GunnyMack

I/we hit upon your idea years ago but slightly different. Buddy of mine would use a cross, either magic marker or just black tape. This system worked very well for iron sights. Just center up the sights on the cross and shoot. For scoped guns I use red rosin paper, 3'x 150', cut to any size you like...

Reminds me of a buddy that was an Army Drill Instructor. To paraphrase him, Take 1 sheet of TP, fold it corner to corner, then again into a triangle. Now tear off the tip of the triangle, unfold it and put finger through the hole in center of sheet. DONT THROW AWAY THE TIP YOU TORE OFF! Wipe with yo...
