44shooter

My daddy passed away earlier this evening at the hospice center. It seems he was too sick by the time we figured out something was seriously wrong. I have a mixture of feelings but saw this coming before today. It’s still hard to believe he was living alone right before Christmas and see his rapid d...

44shooter

Short story is pointy bullets are longer than blunt bullets within a certain weight range. overall length will be longer in standard cases. If you deep seat the bullets to get within overall length with the pointy bullets pressure will rise. The bullets were designed to be used in shorter cases and ...

I pray for Mr White’s speedy recovery. I recently did some business with him and he is a true gentleman.

44shooter

I have a feeling I know who but regardless this man is is my prayers.

44shooter

Boy those 1876s are a chunk of a rifle. Really great group there.

44shooter

The stocks are definitely not original to your rifle. They look like Remington OEM stocks for the 7600 though.

44shooter

I thought of getting some of those Speer plastic 44 cases and bullets. Primer power only. I could use them in my vaqueros too even in the shop

44shooter

Mine is in the low four digits. Lockup is decent. A little rotational and fore and aft movement. Seen much worse. Always read they should be shot with black only. I don’t have any Russian brass and my dies are Sp/mag. Like I said it will chamber even a 300 grain magnum jhp. I don’t see why I couldn’...

44shooter

As a kid around 11 or so, I saw my daddy take a shot at at pigeon sitting on top of a tobacco barn with an Undercover . I’m guessing at least 40 but probably closer to 50 yards. The bird crumpled at the shot. A truly spectacular shot from a cheap belly gun. Thirty some years later that 38 was stolen...

44shooter

I have one with almost all the nickel gone. Never shot it. I notice it will chamber Special and Magnums

44shooter

If I got an invitation to an elk hunt, a 357 rifle would be near the end of the list of arms I would chose. In perspective though, the range was fairly short with a bullet designed for controlled expansion and penetration in game. It’s not like he just grabbed some random defense JHPs off the shelf....

44shooter

Those prices aren’t relative to anything. A Ruger produced Marlin not worth $2000, or even $1500. You can get a Colt Python or Anaconda for $1500. Or a Supergrade M70. Or a high end Kimber bolt rifle or 1911. Ridiculous is right

44shooter

I remember a decocking of a Colt 380 that sent a bullet safely to the ground in front of my target. Countless times with air guns seeing what it would do but nothing dangerous. The scariest was after dry firing a 45 Auto N frame. I loaded the revolver to put it away as my defense gun. Somehow the mu...

44shooter

So just another 9mm pistol claiming to be the latest and greatest. 🥱 The subcompact single action dedicated nine has been done before by Sig, Kimber, Springfield. Double stack micros have recently been done by many. This is a first pairing of both trends. This pistol reminds me of the Kimber Micro ...

44shooter

Hmm the way I like my autos, Cockable and lockable

44shooter

I’m amazed I bought a pre safety 444S this year for $400. Dirty consignment guns can be a real bargain sometimes.

44shooter

My dad was taken to the hospital after complaints of back pain and swollen feet and reports of dementia. He was admitted and looks like he has heart failure, renal disease, dementia, anemia and prostate issues. He is very confused, restless and sometimes agitated. It’s been very hard. He has been li...

44shooter

That’s a beautiful rifle

44shooter

Pretty cool. Easy to hide and discreet if seen. I wonder how those grips feel under recoil though.

44shooter

I believe that bullet was loaded in 44 special but I’m not certain

44shooter

The forward edges of the comb look weird like it was built with Legos. But otherwise a fine looking rifle. A lot of bolt actions won't group like that

44shooter

No the 30-06 was replaced by 7.62x51/308 Winchester for services rifles and machine guns long ago. It had a good run though from 1906 to the Vietnam era.

44shooter

A 3 to 4 inch barrel on whichever frame size suits you. I like S&W but am open to Colt, Kimber, and Ruger too. A 3 to 3 1/2 inch J frame or SP101 would be very handy and versatile. A larger frame gives you more shots than five if that’s important to you.

44shooter

Yeah he should keep quiet. I was wrong in my defense of him earlier. I didn't know what the film making standards were for working with guns. I do know universal rules of gun safety but do not trust everyone else to. Turns out it is much more regimented than I though not only for armorers but the ta...

44shooter

I love seeing beat up old guns made into something workable. Nice!

44shooter

So I found some scope mount screws I held on to and put in a torx head with a similar shank length. It seemed a wee bit tighter than the screw in the rifle but it drove in fine with a screwdriver and cinched up well. The head stands a little proud but it's not in the way and doesn't look bad. The he...

44shooter

Same with most loads. Haven't seen anything yet I thought was terrible including 300s in my Marlin that many say won't stabilize. Seen a few groups around 1.5.

44shooter

3500? You have to be kidding me

44shooter

Honestly if you have a rifle configuration the rebore is the best and most economical way to go. JES has a very good national reputation. You rifle would look the same except having a shiny new bore and a new chambering marking of course. If you have a carbine a replacement will work. Changing a rif...

44shooter

I have the stocks and mag off. The hanger is empty on the right. I should have some 6-48 screws tucked away somewhere to try. I’d rather have something in there. The hanger isn’t very tight in the dovetail. It seems cinching down on just one side wouldn’t be a good idea

44shooter

I don’t think it is that rare. I remember them being catalog items through much of the 80s. Probably way before

44shooter

What if it is already a 38? His only option would be a rebarrel.

44shooter

This summer I bought a Marlin 444 with a missing for-end cap screw. Now that I disassembled it to give a thorough cleaning (surface rust removal), it seems like having only one screw might affect the bedding relationship of the barrel and fore-end. Is it important to have a screw on each side? Where...

44shooter

I think at some point in velocity and rotational force an unjacketed bullet may come apart in flight. I have read of this in very frangible varmints bullets at very high velocity. I think it's worth a try in your carbine though. I don't have high hopes in something like a 3006

44shooter

He should enjoy it. I have seen much worse mods.

44shooter

Yep. Aftermarket job for sure

44shooter

There are members way more knowledgable than me on on this. But I think that is a special order rifle from the factory as in factory custom.

44shooter

I bought a 444 during this shortage. I guess I can wait it out

44shooter

I don't see why it wouldn't work. A reduced load with trail boss in say a 30/30 or 308 might be interesting to pop off for a while. Like a cobbled up 22 mag in your deer rifle

44shooter

Hornady lists their 180 lead FP with Unique 5.5-8.0 grains. 700-950 fps. Their 180 XTP stops at 7.5 for 900. This is in a 3" Bulldog. I would be very comfortable with 7-8 grains with your bullet in most any 44SP. I intend to load about 6 grains of Unique under soft 240s. Nothing fancy just a fa...

44shooter

Exactly. I don't go to them. Summer 2020 there were incidents in Raleigh not far from where I work. I put a wonder nine with a uncle mikes belt and holster in my console and a SKS with multiple stripper clips in my trunk. If I had to leave my car due to unrest I was going to visibly and heavily arme...

44shooter

I peep down the bore if possible and center an object about 50 yards away and move my reticle to the center of said object. This will usually get you on paper at 100. With factory irons I don't bother and just shoot and adjust as needed as they should be reasonably close. If adding a peep I cowitnes...

44shooter

Sorry for your loss. Hoping you find comfort soon.

44shooter

My take away is that 30-30 load is impressive. That bullet not only went through a lot of water but expanded nicely. The 308 and 30-06 loads with the PP performed beautifully too but much less deeply. That same bullet about two or three hundred fps faster shucked out. That bullet was probably design...

44shooter

Btw the HP was designed in the 30s as a 9x19 and is limited to cartridges of similar length. So no 38 Super, 9x23, 10mm or the like is coming. 30 Luger is possible and probably 22 TCM. Browning made 40 S&W and I wish I had gotten one. 357 Sig is possible. I have seen conversion uppers/mags in 22...

44shooter

Quite a handsome rendition of the classiest gun ever designed for 9x19. I was expecting a higher MRSP as well. The upgrades are quite practical without detracting from the original look. A 13 shot 40 S&W would be the icing on the cake. And an extra 357 Sig barrel. Ok I will stop now

44shooter

Doc, those stated policies do change things. I can't say whether the shot was intentional or not but definitely against those guidelines. However I do know that real guns are pointed at actors. How many times have you seen a muzzle poked into someone with a finger on the trigger? Maybe those shots u...

44shooter

That’s the single stack? No but my mom has a Ladysmith 3913. A single stack 9 that is a pretty solid pistol

I like 40 also. My Firestar is a tiny pistol that delivers a thump. I like 45 acp better but I think 40 is a great police cartridge and a good choice for self defense.

44shooter

But they have pointed guns at each other and the crew since the invention of film and probably stage before that which is worse because the audience is there. We actually see people point and sometimes shoot at each other with real guns in film and television. So the not pointing guns at people in n...
