Both of those are vertical engines. I need a horizontal.

I know this is out there, a bit. I've got an old 1975 ST16 Sears tractor mower with an equally old Tecumseh 16 hp OHV Single cylinder motor on it. It quit last night and I haven't been able to get it to start again. I plan to get back at it later today but I'm usually able to get most problems fixed...

I'm sorry for your loss. I'll continue my prayers.

Thanks Men ... guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and wait and hope Marlin sees the need. I'm wondering why something in the MX or XLR line could not be bored to handle the 460 S&W though? Seems like 338 has to be pushing similar, if not more, pressures? Thanks for the welcome. :) 338 Exp...

Congratulations Terry, yes, they really did give it to the right person.

My brother and nephew have Savages in 17. I'm pretty sure you are going to like it. We were shooting them this weekend and both rifles were shooting under an inch at 100yards. I was suitably impressed. I'm thinking a 17 needs to join my stable in the near future.

My brother bought one of those in "like new" condition in the early 70s. He wore the guts out, came into a bunch of parts guns by buying out an old gunsmith, rebuilt it, wore it out again, rebuilt it again, still has it. It's been fantastically accurate throughout, though only the stock, b...

There were 2 generations of the E, one that ran from 1920-1936(shorter action, 300savage family of cartridges), and an E carbine that ran from 1960-1982 (this has the longer postwar action that allowed chambering in the 308 family of cartridges) both with the lever safety. I've seen the later ones w...

My 30-30 is as tight as my wife's 336, my 38-55 is somewhat looser coming very close to your discription. Both of my 1893s are over 100, I should be quite pleased that I were in as good shape. I think what you are seeing is wear. The square bolt also exaggerates the looseness because of better purch...

Wife and I came down with this bugger early Thursday morning so I can relate to you guys. I found chicken & rice soup will stay down this morning. I jokingly accused my wife of saving back some of that stuff from her colon scope and sprinkling it on supper Wednesday night. Effects match up well ...

I got it from both ends about 2 years ago. I'd had an upper before (10 years) as I've had stomach troubles for a long time. A couple pollips removed in mine, otherwise, good to go. Doc said see you in another 10 years as there is no history in my family. The wife (45) had one last Thursday, the doct...

My wife has an illuminated recticle Barska 1.5x6 scope on her 99. It seems a pretty good scope and the illumination is kinda nice in low light situations. I like it, and so does she. I think a higher quality Burris would do quite well for you.

Black powder is one type of shooting I have never done. Are black powder kits easy to do? I am not very good with my hands, but am keen to give it a go. It depends on the kit, They can range from VERY hard to very easy. Time is your friend, don't get in a hurry and almost any will turn out well. It...

+1 on Doc's suggestion. A friend has a T/C Hawken that he tried to clean and pulled the end off the ramrod. About 2 years later he brings it to me and asked if I could get the jag out. Stuffing black powder through the touch hole, I fired it out into a deep snowbank. Of course after that long a time...

I've got a Sidewinder SS 4 5/8" 454 made by D-max in Springfield, South Dakota. D-max also made the early BFRs for a while under contract, though now Magnum Research has moved production in house and AFAIK D-max is out of the revolver business. Mine was a second that had the front sight drilled...

It ain't good. Actually, it depends on the vacuum cleaner, the bag before the impeller is not much of a problem, but most of them have the bag after the impeller and running them through the impeller is a sure way to set one off.

Deodorizing urine from cats on washable things. Yes, I have cats. Soak in a 10-25% solution of Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (the common grocery/drug store stuff, it doesn't hurt to add a little lemon dishwashing liquid either, cheap $1 store stuff works great) for a few minutes, then thoroughly rinse with w...

Wow, nice haul, you're in for some good eating. Your method of cooking is the only way I ever remember seeing them cooked. I remember picking them in the wooded areas when we lived in Illinois long ago. They grow in here in South Dakota but given that there are few areas with the kind of tree growth...

I have a hunting knife made by my grandfather, originally given to my uncle when he was a child. He was not famous for his skills, as he never made blades to sell but that knife holds an edge like nothing else I've ever seen and it does get used for boning deer. I doubt it is valuable on the knife m...

Large rifle primers are a little taller. The primer pocket is swaged deeper in rifle cases to allow for this. If you use LRP as opposed to LPP, you have to crush the primer to get them flush with the case and can get inconsistent ignition. If seated to the right depth for the primer, they can bind t...

For an auto pistol cartridge, I don't think there's any need for a crimp die other than the one in the seating die. Neck tension is what holds the bullet. You are just taking the bell of the case out of the case when you crimp in ACP cartridges. Then, there are reloaders that swear by them(and other...

I updated with the pro kit a couple years ago. I like it, gone is the easily stripped screw into plastic hopper system. The turn off is handy too. Unlike some others I've had no problems with the adjustable charge bar. When I got my first got the original I took a glass plate with some 600 grit pape...

It's not LE only, it's been a while but Dakota Mart in Pierre, SD had about a half dozen on the rack. I don't know how well they sold as they had them in their rack out from behind the counter and they usually only do that with close-out stuff. I looked one over but wasn't particularly interested in...

I'm like Joe, it's a good thing I like the looks of the straight stocked guns better. They don't smack me as hard on the face. To me, most pistol gripped leverguns seem to amplify the recoil. My shorter wife is the opposite and prefers the pistol grip stocks. You'd think that would be the other way ...

Noah, after I bought my 454 revolver and carbine, I sold both my 44 mags. I can load the 454s to 44 special levels or beyond 44 mag, whatever my mood is at the time. The 44s just sat, not being used. I usually can't stand that for long, so they both got traded. Still have dies & components but a...

I use a mix of Lyman corn cob and walnut with about 10% used coffee grounds in my homemade tumbler. A friend told me about the coffee, I tried it and he was right, adding it gives a nicer shine. You can't use much more than that as a percentage or it plugs cases up bad.

Buffboy

You bringing this back up, I figured I'd better check mine. I pulled mine out of the drawer, then out of the old box, cocked it, gave it a couple pumps and it fired just fine. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been out of the box for at least 2 years and I know it's at least 30 years old.

Go with the extra 1/2" for all the above reasons. You'll never notice it in the field anyway.

If you want shorter, do the paperwork, pay the money and do a short barreled rifle if your state allows it. Bear in mind there may also be some restrictions on use in hunting when you go NFA.

Buffboy

That resembles the effect my 30-30 1893 had when I bought it. It's wearing new wood now.

Eaten cougar loin, can't say I was impressed. Maybe it was the preparation, I grilled it but it didn't live up to the hype IMO.

I'm not likely to try coyote.

Just supposition on my part, but I would think you could neck up 270Win with it's longer neck to 30-03 dimensions.

Buffboy

I don't know how barrel is attached to the frame but the bolt locks into the barrel of the pre-81 in my safe. I suspect the reason they are so expensive to replace is that the barrel needs to have those complicated multiple locking lugs machined as part of it, with two of the four sides open (for ej...

What Old Savage & RR7 said, as that's the most likely problem. If your sight picture is the same with both guns, have someone check out your swing with both. It depends on how you shoot, steady swing or through the target, the style determines the problem. I'm guessing it's the latter, where you...

I still have a model 12 nylon bolt action that I've had since about 16 and a lever action nylon 76 since I was 18. The bolt gun is phenomenally accurate, the lever action is pretty good too. At one time I was making an attempt to own every kind produced. The others were traded, sold or given away. T...

Bullard, what you are seeing is nothing unusual. Belted magnum cases headspace on the belt, like rimmed cases headspace on the rim. Factory ammo has to fit all rifles and all rifles are different. Headspace specifications cover a range and those on the tight side of the chambering still have to take...

I came back to the 1911 after a long time shooting other pistols. So I'm fairly limited as to experience with it. Before I'd always shot factory ball in GI mags with good reliability. Now with my current Taurus, I'm shooting a lot of reloaded, cast & hollow point ammo. My experience for the last...

In my area Google Earth is pretty good. They have us mapped to the street level. You can even see the cars in the parking lot, read the license plates if so inclined.

I love the 38-55. I "know" my limits, my rifle and load. I use the original sights on my 1893 Marlin(made 1905) and have used it to take deer cleanly at up to 250 yards given the right shot. The gun/cartridge will do it, cleanly, if "you" can. That said, I've done the same with t...

I don't really dislike the rifle but I'm not particularly fond of the one in my closet. It's not mine or it would have been traded long ago. It's a pre-81 made in Japan in 308. It's more of a personal thing for me (don't really like the looks or recoil) than any real problem with it. First bit of ad...

I'm sorry to see them go. I've had only a little experience with them from my wife getting one of their shotguns.

Thinking about it some more, I'm pretty sure his is the Donaldson. Odd, since the Walker was a Remington development. The dies are custom or at least semi-custom thing and are expensive. I'd have to get the rifle pretty cheap to want to bother tooling up for it. He had his custom made from a chamber...

There are two versions of this caliber, the Donaldson & the Walker. My cousin has a Remington 40X that his father had built in this caliber(forget the variation of his, off the top of my head) back in the late 60s. His is a VERY good shooter but IMO that's the rifle as much as the cartridge. It ...

That's about the outside limit for something that large, screw your full choke in or if you have one, an extra full/turkey.

I've used a shotgun lots of times. Usually with 3" 4 buck as it ups the range by more than double what you're going to have.
