Thanks for all the feed back guys. Shame to hear Kimber's QC is dropping.

hondo1892

Ok guys I've always wanted a 1911 'cause they look cool. I'm not into competition or want to be. So I'm not looking for a triked out pistol. I don't even carry, I just kinda want one. Who makes the best 1911 and why in your opion. I like the Kimber pro carry hd ll I looked at a few weeks ago and a C...

Don't like the henry's or there loading method.

I still haven't got my marlin 1894 in .357. I've been to four gun shows, Cabela's several times and two other gun shops looking for used Marlin's. When I wasn't looking I seen one at almost every gun show I went to now nothing. I must be looking to hard. :) I was at Cabela's yesterday and seen they ...

hondo1892

I really like the carving. Did you also make the belt?

hondo1892

I do like the one on gunbroker but I hate buying without holding it first. I'm hoping to find one locally that I can pick up for around the same price.

hondo1892

I am wanting a .357 lever gun that I can mount a scope on for coyote hunting. So I went to a gun shop yesterday to do some looking. I picked up a couple of new Marlin 1894's to look at and was very disapointed. I have a 336 that I have had for years and like it a lot because of scopabilty(is that a ...

hondo1892

Thanks for all the reply guys.

hondo1892

I'm thinking about getting something for coyotes on my place. 125 yards is a long shot on my place so I'm thinking a 357 may be enough. Most of my shots will be 50 to 75 yards which is to far for a 12 guage with shot. I could use my 30-30 but I would like to have something that burns less powder. My...

hondo1892

Mike good to see some game on the ground. The deer were kinda scarce on my place last year too.

hondo1892

I shaped the stock from a plank. I have done a couple of precarves but I don't care for them. You can't always get exactly what you want and the ramrod grooves aren't always where I want them.

hondo1892

If you like guns like these and live around Lexington Kentucky there is a show comming in august. The Contemporary Longrifle Association has a big show on August 20 and 21 in Lexington.

hondo1892

Thanks for the compliments on the rifle guys. The class was at The Log Cabin Shop in Ohio. The instucters were Ian Pratt and Jim Kibler. You can see there work on the contemporarymakers.blogspot.com lots of muzzleloaders and accouterments. You can also do a search fo Brian Barker and see items that ...

hondo1892

I took my class project to the cabin this last weekend and tried it out. It's not completed yet but close enough to shoot. Shot one, three shot group that measured 5/8" at fifty yards. Forty grains of fffg Goex with a .395 ball. I still need to play with some more loads and adjust the sights a ...

hondo1892

Hobie I can't agree more about no cats. The cat is gone and I have told the wife and daughter no more cats in the house. Thanks for all the answers. I will probably have to replace a corner of flooring which will be a pain getting close to the wall with a saw. I wish it was just on the drywall. So f...

hondo1892

Ok I know some of you guys have cats here. We had a cat and it got sick and started urinating all over the house(mostly my man cave). She is gone now but we still have urine stink to remember her. This is my problem the urine soaked through the carpet to the OSB flooring. It has dried into the OSB. ...

hondo1892

Ysabel great to hear. Congrats to all. But according to all the experts your kids should be mean and hateful, living in a house with all those guns. Aint it great to prove them wrong.

hondo1892

OSOK those 1860 army's look really good. I have a small 1849 model I bougght my daughter with a 4" barrel. It's a pain to load with the short rammer handle. I would be interested in how yours is. My personal favorite is a 1851, seems like it points the best for me. Let us all know how it shoots...

hondo1892

I just started in my gun room again. I plan on moving in about five years so maybe I'll be sorta organized by then.

hondo1892

I'm not slamin' lever guns guys. I only have three long guns that shoot cartridges that aren't levers. A 10/22 and a couple of bolt .22 RF's. I love lever's and muzzleloaders. Ihave more muzzleloaders than I know what to do with and none are inlines. Mostly flinters and my lever guns are old or obso...

hondo1892

If your talking practical. Why do you own a .357, 30 WCF, and 45-70 in lever guns? The bolt actions of today are stronger and more practical. They (bolt guns) are chambered in more practical calibers. I want a 99 Savage in .300 is it practical, not really. I could get a bolt gun in .308 and be more ...

hondo1892

Thanks guys. I figured they might dump powder fairly quick. But it looks like it would speed things a little for me, not having to drop powder from a measure and then dribble onto a scale myself. Just push a button and do another chore while waiting. I've was looking at the Lyman or Hornady. I've us...

hondo1892

How many here use an electric powder dispencer/scale combo? How do you like them and what make are you using. I've been looking at them and thinking they may save time in reloading. But I'm cheap and haven't invested in one yet. Still using my old RCBS manual measure and scale to load with. Do all h...

hondo1892

336 I like the colt '51 better than the Remington's. The '51 feel's better in my hand the Remmie's feel awkward. Also I can shoot this '51 better than my cartridge revolvers. This one has a very smooth trigger pull, maybe the reason I shoot it better. I wish now I would have went with the round trig...

hondo1892

Made it down to the cabin in Kentucky this past weekend hoping to get some work and play in. With all the rain they had a couple of weeks ago, ten inches they tell me. My creek bed/driveway had a nice bed of new gravel in it for a smooth ride. Made it around the first big curve and found a tree had ...

hondo1892

Thanks for the input guys. My birthday is this month so maybe I can use that for an excuse. I can hear the ringing in my ears now, not from the sounds of the shots either. She's kinda use to me and the gun thing now after twenty years.

hondo1892

Went back to Cabel'a yesterday to buy a 99 EG and it was gone. I know I should have went back sooner. So I was looking in the used racks out on the floor and found another 99 in .308. I don't know which version it was but it had a rounded forend instead of the schnable. It also had real walnut and h...

Here's a couple of more hunting photo's of my daughter. I took her on a Buffalo hunt for her fifteenth birthday. It was really bad conditions rained, froze and then snowed the two days before the hunt. So the guide told us it wouldn't be much of a hunt or the animal wouldn't be reteivable. It turned...

hondo1892

Sounds like a really nice freind. I hope your boys like it. All these Savage 99 post are not helping my urges to buy one.

hondo1892

Always good to see youngins that like to hunt.

hondo1892

Hobie it's in Casey county.
The little buck does look small but most winters are not severe and they don't get stressed like ones up north. However this past one had more snow and ice than usual.

hondo1892

Just thought I would post a few of the photo's taken by my trail cam. They are from Nov and Dec last year. I'm hoping the ten point made it through the season. I would really like to see my daughter to get a chance to shoot him. I also had a couple of gray foxes eating my corn I put out for the deer...

hondo1892

Went to Cabela's in Dundee, Mi yesterday. I went through the reloading stuff and found 45 Colt brass from W-W and Remington. Then I had to go over and make a trip through the gun library. I found a Savage 99EG with factory drilled receiver just like I'm wanting. They even had three bags of W-W brass...

hondo1892

Sold a very nice muzzle loader when I first got married. Sold it to put up drywall in our house. Wish I would have found another to pay for the drywall. I also sold a Savage 99 in .300 with an old Lyman scope on it. Can't remember why I sold that one but I wish I had it back now.

hondo1892

Pete I already have a Marlin 336. So I would like to get another Winchester to replace the one I have. I just don't like the 32/40 as much as I thought I would or it wouldn't be replaced. Doc I wish I could use the old wardrobe shoe line on my wife but she's not big on those things. She really doesn...

hondo1892

I started taking her squirel hunting with me when she was two. By the time she was three she would make me tie a squirrel to a string and let drag it behind her like a deer. She would rather eat wild game than grocery store stock anyday of the week.

hondo1892

Here is my daughter with her first deer. She was thirteen when she havested it with a .50 flinter. She has also taken a couple with a 64 Winchester. I'm gonna miss her when she leaves for collage.

hondo1892

I'm wanting to go rifle shopping again. I was thinking about selling a 94 Winchester rifle in 32/40 I have. Then looking for a 1950's 94 in 30-30 and a Savage 99 in 300 Savage. I don't need either but I want to change out. My wife will sream and yell if I do it. So I keep saying to myself, I don't n...

hondo1892

I don't have a big selection of powders or primers or bullets for that fact. They are all hard to come by. I have mostly CCI primers and I think I have a little 3031 and some H335 powder. My Marlin 336 shot very well with the H335 don't know fps of the load but very good groups. My daughter has a 64...

hondo1892

I picked up a rifle for my daughter in 2008 for $550. She realy like's it ad it was in good shape except for the front sight. Someone had broke off the bead. I would love to have a carbine in 30-30 but I too don't want to part with the asking price of most. I did see a 32 Special carbine on the Caba...

hondo1892

I haven't reloaded the 30-30 for several years. Back when I did I used H335 and nosler 170gr. bullets. I plan on starting to load for this cartridge again and would like to know what your favorites are. I was getting really good accuracy with my old load but Nosler discontinued the bullet I used. It...

hondo1892

Kirk you always get them kool old winchesters.

hondo1892

Modoc I made it from scratch. I don't make them very often, usually one a year. They are time consuming to get everything just right.

hondo1892

This is the knife I carry daily. I made it last year to replace my old one I sold. Use it for feild dressing most of my deer also. Its an old mediterainean style.

hondo1892

Here's my daughters' and my rifle. The daughter says it aint no muzzleloader unless its a flintlock. Her rifle has the nicer wood.

hondo1892

We have had a wild elk herd in Michigan since back in the 60's. There has been limited hunting since the 80's. They never have had a population explosion like our whitetails though. The herd in Kentucky seems to have done the best. They have sixteen counties they reintroduced them to and they have s...

hondo1892

Caywood also make trade guns. They have good locks and you can get them "in the white". Meaning they are put togather just nothing else done. Larry Zorn from the Mold and Gun Shop has good guns also and he may have them in the white also. Tip Curtis has guns in the white but I don't know i...

hondo1892

They were a few inline flint rifles also! So no the inline is not a new concept.

hondo1892

Lefty where do you find brass for your .30? I work with a guy that has a rifle in .30 and he can't find any ammo for it.

hondo1892

Do any of you guys have a Rem model 14? I had to pass up a Winchester 94 because of truck repairs and have been looking at the Remingtons on gunbroker. I like the old pump rifles and 35 Rem seems like it would be a good choice for bears here in Michigan. How do you like your rifle and are there anyt...
