Excellent post.

I am a bit Jealous. On my trip to Africa, we were not allowed to shoot (4-legged) animals. I got photos of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos (4 legged) and many others in the 6 months I was there in 6 different countries.

Yes, I also was lucky enough to have received the Mattel set with the single-action revolver and lever gun that shot plastic (spring-loaded) bullets. Until I got old enough to buy a Winchester model 150 .22.

Paladin

Just a thought, fire lap the bore? Maybe cast is stripping on sharp lands& grooves? My Henry was terrible with plated bullets- copper fouling up the wahzoo. I didn't fire lap it but I did spend a lot of elbow grease and JB Bore compound. Now it shoots both cast and jacketed very well. A buddy o...

We are back to the problems caused by HUMANs. What do you call the Doctor who graduates at the top of his class and becomes one of the most respected in the medical Profession DOCTOR? What do you call a Doctor who graduates at the bottom of his class and is more interested in money from any source?...

Paladin

Sadly that's more the norm with police involved shootings. I believe it is simply the fact that most cops are NOT gun guys and the only shooting they do is to qualify every 6 months. Back in the 80s part of our state police force trained at our range. Being teenagers we were kind of in awe and we g...

Thank you, Sir

Paladin

I hope enough of your government remembers to stop a repeat.

This is a FACT and why so many Law Enforcement units still use a shotgun before the weaker ones complained about the recoil and went to ARs.

There is supposed to be a made in turkey new martini shotgun in 12 and 20 ga coming on the market sometime this year I am wary of some Turkish made guns but a Martini 20 gauge would get my attention... Paladin, I'd like to see a picture of your sawn off Fox, I've never seen a Fox shotgun over here ...

Paladin

My first lever was a .444 Marlin (used to read Don Pendelton's MACK BOLAN in high school) Great gun until I got into the 45-70s. I gave it to my nephew when he wanted a Bear gun for WV.

Paladin

Yes after looking at the price I will stick with the Marlins and Rossis. Glad my local gunsmith was good at mods.

Paladin

I like my Greener GP The best single shot ever made, I have been to the factory and seen them being made, great choice... :D I always wanted a Greener just from seeing one when I was a kid and using a Stevens single shot. I have a Fox Double I bought for 200 USD in the 80s and cut to 19 inches for ...

Paladin

Shotguns were issued to me from 1977 until 2022 when I retired from my last contract. Remington 870s were in the office locker and we could take one without asking from the beginning of my tenure with the State Police and are almost indestructible. I shoot shotguns well for work-type events and too...

Darn, Good Luck

TRUST BIG COMPANIES that pay off the GOV. I even store them in Faraday bags at times after they are in Airplane mode and turned off.

WOW, worked with Dad on a neighbor's when I was a kid in NE Ohio, we were only there for two days and it was more work than I cared for but they were friends. I learned a lot and after that when we needed a building Dad decided on Steel to keep the airplanes in to go with the three-story ARCH type ...

Collection guns that have killed presidents?

Sad to hear, I like his videos and know what it takes to earn the medals he shows at the beginning.

As stated Remington is my least favorite rimfire ammo and like many here may have fired a few hundred 1000 of them from different manufactures.

This is the ANNUAL COWBOY & INDIAN AUCTION FEB 3RD, 4TH & 5TH. There are items from a few Western movies " Magnificent 7, and a few from John Wayne movies" I have spent way too much money here in the last 6 years as it is within a couple of hours of the winter house. Great people ...

GO with what you got until you want to make the aesthetics better and decide then how you want it to look.

Paladin

Too Funny, The gas and Carbon will just vent around the barrel under the front handguards leaving carbon and unburnt powder. Have you ever looked there?

Paladin

I have a few that I am fond of. I have let friends talk me out of my M1 Grands, and some other items I bought over the years.

Paladin

There should be no problem like they said the barrel will just stick out. all of my suppressed guns have that problem. The Colt officers model just has a King Tappen Comp. The Browning is just missing the suppressor. I have a few with this problem.

Paladin

Thanks for the photos. One of two continents I haven't made it to.

Paladin

As I no longer have to comply with regulations about firearms I have gone back to revolvers more often than not. A friend of mine just traded me an S&W model 69 in .44 Mag (for a rifle) that I carry a lot. Next is the 4-inch 329 both with a couple of .44 spls in them and a snake load in the war...

Paladin

I only have the 20-inch and the 16. In .44 Mag, .357, and .45 both are pretty handy but the 16-inch is probably my favorite.

After reading a couple of other responses I will admit I have Red dots or optics on almost all of my leverguns. Even my Co-Pilot has an Aimpoint Patrol rifle optic.

Paladin

WOW, interesting information. Will send it to the IRS SAC I used to work with on the task force.

They are a pain. They punch holes in the chain link fence, are dangerous to the dogs in packs, and are protected by the AZ Government as a game animal. This is where they separated 3 feet of chain link fence to kill two of my apple trees. They have (a Pack of 30) only chased my 120-pound Rhodesian ...

I have a 19-inch DB Fox in 12 Ga, one Stevens 410 Ga, and a Stevens 20 Ga for beak-open shotguns. I save them for teaching kids and women shotguns before starting them on a Rem 1100.

In 1978 the first shooting I went to in the state police was a drunk who broke into the residence of an old man screaming he wanted money. The old man shot him from his wheelchair at about 11 yards down the hallway with his Model 94 and a 150gr WW soft nose. It worked perfectly solving the problem ...

Found of the M&P 2.0 myself. The 10mm was the last-duty weapon I bought when they changed the reg to allow 10mm. My wife bought the Walther .22Mag and it works well I thought about the M&P .22 Mag, but just never liked using the lightweight bullets. Glad to hear the report enjoy the range t...

Good detail and information. I haven't gone through that process for 40 years. I still load ammo but have not taken the time to gas-check my own bullets.

I live out a bit and tend to want a larger dog. The photo is of WALDO (the large 120-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback) with his new replacement.

K98s were my first large bore rifle, back when you could buy them at Woolworths for $35. The cheap one was capable of enough accuracy that I use it for ground hog hunting with 110 gr spire point reloads. The iron sights with young eye were great.

Paladin

Thanks, Jim, Very informative as I had not seen it before.

Paladin

Well done. When I met my wife in 2011 she had bought a Glock 3 months before and had a class to try to get a CCW In Southern Kalifornia. She now teaches women's classes and invites me to go shoot with her women's group every now and then. This was her last week-end. If you go to Gunsite look for he...

Paladin

Well done, enjoy the process.

Paladin

I always liked the Model 39 and have owned three but let my brother have one, and the others went to friends who talked me out of them. I found one two years ago to replace my losses and still consider it a great firearm for everyday carry.

I have never been much of a drinker but there is a tradition in Special Forces at funerals when everyone, except fellow members, has left before the first dirt is put on the casket. We drink a toast to the fallen member with his favorite beverage (this is not all of the ceremony). As this has given...

I’m praying for you.

Thanks may have to break down and get one as it can clock vehicles over 68 mph also.

Due to having started loading shotgun rounds when I was a teenager using Green Dot in my first .45 was a given, Lots of it.

I confess it has happened a few times. My worst (and most embarrassing) I had arrested a Drunk Driver and was running the intoxilyzer and filling out paperwork at the office in a rural county in WV.
