I am no expert, but the following is a method I use when at gun shows or see an ad I might like. I have gotten this info from various books and use s/n rather that mfg date. Don't know how accurate it is but serves me. 500,000 - 1,200,000 had flaking metal receivers 1,027,572 proof steel barrels sta...

I got my elk last year with a 7MM mag and handloaded 140gr TTSX. 100 yard (or so) shot in the neck and elk dropped in tracks. Bullet hole out not much bigger than bullet hole in. No fragments found in meat. Sighting in after reloading got 1 1/2 in groups (100 yd) using RL22 powder. Rifle a Ruger 77

roughcreek

Thanks all for the tips.

I'll just throw it over the safe and tie flys.

A misunderstanding got my elk hide tanned with the hair on.
I have very few ideas what to use it for.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, Roughcreek

I do so enjoy his writings, quite a guy.
Glad he is doing OK.

In the articles on this site there is a good write-up by Paco on accurizing a levergun.

If you have access to a 3-D scanner, you can just scan your favorite firearm and then print out a copy. Amazing.

Only two people in the store I went to. But a long line of cars at the window. They said that was normal for a tues. afternoon. I had just cleaned my 94 and smelled of Hoppes #9. Got Mocha for me and my wife and put 10 buck on her Starbucks card. Paid with a handfull of $2 bills. I had to tell them ...

In this neck of the wood (SW Washington) all the CENEX stations only have gas w/o ethanol.
I was recently to Minneapolis and most stations had a pump that did not have ethanol, and was 5 cents
a gal less expensive that the gas with ethanol.

Thanks all, will check them out.

Thanks, Roughcreek

Going to be in Minneapolis for a few days, what do I not want to miss? I'm going to the gun show this coming week end.

Not sure who wrote the info under the pic. I am sure he is proud of that Ivory Handled Colt too, but it looks to me like he is showing off that 95 Winchester! Picture is from an article in a gun magazine on gun leather, so probably why the 95 not mentioned, altho he certainly appears to be showing ...

This from magazine so quality of picture not so good.
Any relation to our Nate Kiowa Jones?

roughcreek, Where do you get the factory box label images to print? I'd like to do some in .45 Colt that match the red yellow and blue Winchester vintage. Joe I find a "not so good" vintage box at a gun show (some are pretty dirty and torn, but cheep), take a picture of it and put it into...

Here are some boxes for ammo I have made over the past few years. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p94/roughcreek/leverguns/ruger.jpg This was done with Photoshop Elements.

I used to stop in Pintos gun shop in Kent every time I went to the Puyallup gun show (once a month). Nice shop and lots of guns. I always found something there I needed. Then they closed down about 5-6 years ago. But I saw a young lady at the last Puyallup show selling from Pintos so maybe they open...

I've been using this one with good results.

Accurate and consistent (even with stick powders) and it is an easy one handed operation or mount on a Dillon.

The 6th edition of Gun Digest Treasury has a great article on the 721-722. Here is part of it. Quote: The blowup tests were the big thing, and the most publicized. They were run on two 721 rifles chambered in 30-06, which Walker considered the worst cartridge from a blow-up standpoint. Starting with...

I know this is old but maybe someone hasn't seen it. I think it is about 2 years old. Roughcreek The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming . It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of...

Done.

Raised on a farm in North Dakota. Today it is one of the few states with a budget in the black. Have relatives still there. Western part of the state going through an oil boom. Some places it is hard to find a place to stay (or camp). Williston for instance.

I have fond memories of the Stampede. Last time I was there was 1958 as a member of the High School Band. We marched in the parade and had a drill routine we did in the arena. Then watch the Rodeo (favorite was the chuckwagon races) and then hit the midway. Ahh, what a time.

They are in my prayers!

Bought one new in late 2001 had serial number AM1700xx. Was a .45 cal.

PACO rates the 92 much stronger than the Marlin 94.

I checked Midway, but they are not listing the powders I want. Unique, 2400, Varget, IMR3031, IMR4350 and probably some more. But it is true, nothing they have listed is out of stock.

roughcreek

Well, maybe I better try it again. I didn't like it last time I tried it. It took over too much of the computer. But then I don't like IE much better. They keep changing stuff on my computer. Altho I haven't had an intrusions with IE. Soo, maybe I wasn't using FF correctly. Will try it again.

roughcreek

I'll have to wait till I get my books out of storage, after we move, and then look some stuff up and make my list more complete.
Were any of the 94's ever made in Japan?

I have this cheat sheet (I forget where I got it) that I use at gun shows or wherever I see a 94 for sale. I am not completely sure it is correct or complete. For instance I don't know what S/N the side eject started. 500,000-1,200,000 flaking receivers (I'm assuming this is just the normal aging of...

Just more "typical" attorney speakease. My main self defense pistol is a Colt 1911 that I handload for. I use new unfired starline +p cases and Remington 185 gr. sabre JHP loaded to 1100 FPS. I have several boxes they can use for comparsion and I would not have any problems arguing my cas...

This has been discussed here numerous times. A lot of different opinions on handloading self defense ammo. hand gun or long gun. The following is a quote from an extensive article in "The Journal of Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network" that brings to light a consideration I had not heard...

I am using a "JDS Quick Measure" from Johnson Design Specialists out of Spokane, WA. It is a bit expensive but I love its features. I have it mounted on my Dillon 550 loading pistol with Titegroup. It is spot on most of the time, Ocassionally it would be 0.1 gr. off, but I attributed that ...

Mod71Alaska, that is what I was looking for. Thanks. I will post before and after. This is for a 94 Marlin. Marlinman93, I tried Tapaderas on another gun and like it also. It was easy to get even coverage and a nice color. Then I handrubbed Birchwood Caseys on it several times. That was on a Ruger 1...

Some time ago I got some Winchester Red stock oil from WINCHESTER RESTORATIONS out of Buffalo City, WI.

I have not been to the Omak, Washington Rodeo and Suicide Horse Race. I am going this year, but have some questions.

I have a 94 30-30 rifle that was my Dad's. He used it for hunting and when he was a kid took it with him when he was herding sheep. His Dad got it in the early 30's from a "gun nut" up the road, along with a Win .22 pump and a "Long Tom" 12 GA. single shot for $30.
