OS, your supposed to cook the deer meat before you eat it. The term red meat means the way it looks before you cook it.

Bruce

Thanks for the information. Yep, I overlooked the tax. Thanks for reminding me. I will do a little researching in England to see what I can find. I have found a few in Australia, but unless our exchange rate is real good, I will probably have to forget buying one. They seem to be running around $1,8...

Bruce

Don,, When I was doing research for my article, I found a few supposed instances where someone reported their BLR not firing and a few where someone supposedly had their BLR freeze up in cold weather. I put a lot of effort into trying to verify these claims and found nothing nor anyone who had it ac...

Bruce

Don, The BLR's are a very reliable rifle, have good accuracy and best of all - no lawyer buttons. As far as the caliber choice goes, I have to say that is strickly up to you and your intended use. The 308 is a good round and to me feels good to cycle in that rifle. I don't have any experience with t...

I have this desire to own a Browning Dualis (European version of the BPR) in 30-06. It appears that they have stopped making them, but I have found a few for sale through internet searches. I know absolutely nothing about the process of buying out of country and having one imported into the US. Can ...

Bruce

The Florida flatwoods is my choice. We have some nice rivers and some beautiful hardwood hammocks. A rise or hill to us is where someone pushed up a pile of dirt and forgot to level it back out.

Bruce

Joe,

That sounds as though he may have gotten into some kind of poison. Rat, ant, antifreeze or something similar. The only other thing I am aware that causes paralyzation like that is Rickets, but the choking does not fit that.

Sorry for your loss.

Bruce

From my experience, the Remington Core Lokts perform at any range (w/ different calibers). The only problems I have had w/ close range (high velocity) shots has been w/ Winchester ammunition. I have had it explode (fragment) on contact and I've also had some of it fail to open/expand. The range of c...

Bruce

Nath,

With you countries rich history w/ the bow, that is just a shame that you can't use it for sporting purposes. Sorry.

I have made many self bows and still think the Yew wood English longbow is the best.

Bruce

Custom made Howard Hill bamboo longbow w/ port orford cedar arrows. Broadheads vary.

Bruce

Our local gun shop has had two 336's come in recently where the barrels were installed cross threaded and off center. Check the chambers on the new ones also, some are very rough and will require polishing.

Bruce

Grizz, if we ever happen to share a camp, please let me do the cooking. Something just dosn't seem right about that combination.

Bruce

Steve, I know that place and you can trust me when I say "you would not like living there". If you like being told what color your home can be, what you can plant in your yard, how long your garage door can be open etc., then maybe you would fit in, but I doubt it. A very regulated homeown...

Some 94's were purchased by Unlce Sam and issued to enforcement/security personnel during WWI for security purposes in the Pacific Northwest forests. The timber out there was a considered vital to the war effort. Collectors have a name for these rifles, Spruce Guns. I don't know if this is one of th...

Bruce

I use Chore Boy (on real bad leaded bores) and Wipe Out (liquid version) exclusively. Chore Boy can also be used to remove surface rust (oil surface first) w/o harming the bluing. I know I have sung the praises of Wipe Out before, but if you havn't - give it a try.

Bruce

Fellas, I have worn some quality hats in my time, mostly western style Stetson types. For my money, there is nothing that beats the Tilley. Look at their warranty and guarantee and try to beat it. I have a few of them right now and they are all I wear. I have one that is over five years old and I wa...

Bruce

I have a Browning very similar to Griff's and I highly recommend it. I know some butcher shop people who speak very highly of Gerber knives.

Bruce

Well, I spoke to soon. Today I got hammered by spammers using real names that were spelled correctly.

Bruce

Hobie, You are sure right about the education. I am noticing some spammers are trying to use real names also. I almost let one in the other day. He had an honest looking .aol email, but a Whois check showed a Russia connection. After reading your initial post, I went back and looked at the pumprifle...

Bruce

Hobie, as you already know - I am having the same problem on www.pumprifle.org. I probably only average around 10 per day, but I have to review each and every one of them. It is very aggravating and I would also like to know a solution. Fella's, if any of you decide to start a domain/web site, be pr...

Bruce

The steel framed BLR's are threaded vs. what I call a press fit on the alloy frames. I have never had either apart and have not seen one apart, so I can't absolutely answer your question. I assume you have read this article - http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/2010/10/browning-lever-action-rifle-...

Bruce

I wasn't trying to quelch your adventure or experiments. I was just passing on what I have found through a few years worth of extensive research. I had some unverified information once about a gunsmith (reportedly retired) that could rebarrel a BLR. I tried everything I could to get confirmation and...

Bruce

You don't/can't remove the barrel. The barrel/receiver is a press fit, unless it is a takedown model. There is a pin, but it is not your normal assembly. Rebarreling is not much of an option either. The receiver/barrel combination is meant to be one unit. Do a forum search and you can find alot of i...

Bruce

Yes and it turned out unreal. My father had a Model 12 sixteen gauge shotgun that he had bought from a friends (James) family member when he was young. He was drafted into the Korean War and while he was gone, he first wife divorced him and apparently sold off his guns and a dog. He told me many tim...

If you want to cook it outside on a grill, here is a method that I have used. Quarter it and season as you would deer meat (for me salt and pepper). While you doing that, start cooking a few quartered chickens (seasoned and skin on) on the grill. Once the goat is ready and the chicken is partially c...

Bruce

No way I can clearly remember the first one. As I recall, I was born, the doctor stepped aside and someone put a Case knife in my diaper.

Seriously, I do not ever remember not having one in my pocket. When I got married, it was there - just in Case.

Bruce

Washing a (seasoned) cast iron skillet has got to rank as one of the most serious crimes there is.

Bruce

Only good is going to happen. Be prepared to be surprised at what comes out of the barrel.

Bruce

I tried brake cleaner once and found it left some weird type of residue, almost like a film. It helped get the carbon out, but that was it. If you do a search you will find that brake cleaner can be very hazardous to your health if it is exposed to a heat source. One little puff and you are in real ...

Bruce

One warning about this product. It keeps on working as long as it is present in a wet form. In other words, make sure your chamber and bolt face are dry before you chamber a round and leave it for any amount of extended time. I like to dry the chamber/bore for the last time, wait overnight and do th...

Bruce

Once I tried Wipe Out, everything else (cleaners) got thrown away. I experminted by cleaning barrels with the other top products (brush and patch combinations) to the point I knew they were 100% clean and copper/fouling free. I then applied Wipe Out (patch only) and found out they were not. I prefer...

Bruce

Absolutely that day, preferrably within a few hours.

Bruce

I recently bought a Savage 170 Series B 30-30 pump rifle. It finally came today. I knew it had some good wood on it, but this was pleasently surprising. Yes, it is factory wood, but I don't know why or how. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/BruceHHH/101_0275.jpg http://i303.photobucket.com/al...

OS, I made this same response in Joe's thread, but it can't hurt to put it here also. "I have not used a brush in the last few years, except on newly acquired (used) guns that have a crude buildup that you can visually see. Once I discovered how good Wipe Out is, there is no need for brushes an...

Bruce

I have not used a brush in the last few years, except on newly acquired (used) guns that have a crude buildup that you can visually see. Once I discovered how good Wipe Out is, there is no need for brushes anymore. However, I do use many more patches now than in the past. It takes more because the W...

Bruce

Mine is now setting out back, underneath the new shelter. One is called a Polaris Ranger, another is a John Deere 3220 w/ attachments. At least I can plow, grow, mow, eat and ride. The rest went towards my retirement home. I saved for years and then watched it fall. When I retired, I was then inform...

Bruce

In my opinion, yes.

Bruce

This link will take you to the Gun Broker forum. Look at the sticky posts and you will see some threads on the Model 1894/94 serial number issue. From my experience, this is probably the very best (current) source for the serial numbers of this model. http://forums.gunbroker.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2

Bruce

Welcome aboard everyone. I kind of envision it as a sister site to Leverguns.

OS, For some reason your registration is different. I am trying to handle it and have asked for help.

Bruce

Hobie,

Glad to see you onboard. Is Paul ready to open it up for new members? If so, I can post a link to the main page. Hope to see everyone over there and we will be working hard to get some good content for your viewing pleasure.

Bruce

I have seen actually the very "grain" you are talking about and I have only seen it on Commemorative barrels. I have only seen it on one barrel that was installed and that was a Classic. The other few I have seen were either take off barrels or ones that were sold as replacements. I am not...

Bruce

Thanks.

Bruce

OK fellas, help me out here if you can. What is the grain weight of a .410 1/4 oz or 1/5 oz slug?

Bruce

Many (20 or so) years ago I stopped by a ear doctors (?) office in a Mall in Ocala Florida. I was shooting a lot of IPSC, indoor bowling pin and law enforcement shoots. I asked if he had any suggestions and he recommended custom molded ear plugs with an insert that let you hear normal conversations,...

Bruce

I have had an interest for awhile concerning creating a site much like Leverguns, but not one that would compete with it in any manner. Kind of like a sister site for another type of rifle. I have found that the domain name I want is for sale, but I have no idea what to offer for it. Any comments or...

Bruce

I give a big PLUS to the Salvation Army. I have worked at and been in command of some pretty massive and long relief (Law Enforcement) efforts at many disasters in Florida. They always show up early, do what they say they will and they stay. They also do not shy away from going into the bad areas. T...

Bruce

I may be wrong as my past research is dated. That early of a BB should probably have the Monte Carlo stock and the stock checkering looks totally wrong. I have never seen a brass butt plate on any model 94.

Bruce

Surely some of yall are jesting.

I don't think there is any other Tea than sweet tea is there? Sugar only. Very best is cooked in a glass jar outside in the sun.

Bruce

Griff, I'll do better than that. They are yours forever. I only have the four covering 67-70 and there is just a little more information in each concerning the Commemoratives, the rest covers other firearms. Not big when compared to todays catalogs. All that I ask is that you make them available to ...
