Paco Kelly's Leverguns.com

A couple of UK based airgun forums I infest have a considerable number of tinkerers that use the both/either mini-mills and/or mini-lathes, including one retired operator that used to use top end CNC and other professional grade equipment. He's tweaked his a bit here and there, but turns out amazing...

My son and I went to Newcastle today to pickup my new air rifle, it was funny to hear the guy behind the counter telling me how to load it, after 72 years of owning airguns I really needed that :lol: Anyway I am pleased with so far it's well balanced and the none automatic safety is a bonus.

My gas ram Norica air rifle needs a heart transplant or whatever you do with gas rams, the power is really down so until I can get it fixed I'm hoping to buy a Remington .22 air rifle called The Pest Controller.. It just an inexpensive springer but it is as powerful as the government allows over he...

May God grant you safe travels and a blessed week!

JimT gave me a couple boxes of 22 WRF along with a mix of 22 WMR of diverse brands/weights/etc back in the early days of the 21st Century. Have used it a bit in my OMSS and my Paco Pifle (Savage 22 bolt pistol that I received at my first Shootist Holiday via a blessed number in the raffle). Still ha...

. ...is so much MORE than just a place for those of us weird enough to like what most would call obsolete, mediocre, guns that aren't as accurate as bolt-actions, nor as fast as semiautos. As with Tycer's recent post that still brings tears to my eyes, many of us here (who mostly have never been in...

Sounds like a sound plan. :-) I've made up various mental lists of what I'd take this year, but it's all theoretical at this point. My Tyler Gunworks Ruger would pair up nicely with the Anniversary rifle. Maybe next year. That gives me time to lay in some brass and hopefully get up there to load it....

Y'all are making me antsy to get up north and take a gander at these rifles. Have yet to hear of an issue with any of them. Have wanted a 45 Colt rifle for a few decades now, looks like this will be one well worth having. Thanks for sharing your process with us. Send a couple downrange for me out at...

I'm really curious about how the interior is laid out. From the angle you show it, it doesn´t look like a three cavity!

Years back, somewhere around the turn of the century, we were at a yard sale in SW MO. On a table was a bunch of miscellaneous kitchen stuff. And in there were some carbon steel knives with black handles. For me a kitchen knife has always been carbon steel, not rost frei or inox, good old fashioned ...

I'll second Tyler Gun Works. I handed them a box of miscellaneous mismatch parts and they gave me back a beautiful sixgun. Unfortunately I don´t have any pics of it handy. Need to remedy that next time I dig out the cache.

Jim, do you know of anyone using Starlink internet over there? We have decent internet here but the Starlink kits are sold by at least three major retailers here in town. They're a big item for folks living outside of the main connection areas of the city. My understanding is that as long as you've ...

Also, the 25-35 Ackley Improved shows the most improvement in performance with a very usable extra powder space due to the very tapered body being blown out straight. I always kind of wanted a Marlin in 25-35 AI for a varmint levergun.

The "old family rifle" is a Winchester 64 in 25-35 that my uncles convinced my grandma to buy for them way back in the 20th Century. They successfully hunted every big game species in Arizona with that rifle using, as far as I know, factory ammo. It comes back to proper bullet placement an...

The following bit of reminiscence popped up as I was backing up some old hard drives... thought some of you might find it of interest. Memories From The Sertão The sun was still high as I climbed into my hammock. It was near four o’clock and I’d slung my hammock about three meters in the air in the ...

A few years ago Jim Williamson let me fireform a bunch of 22 K-Hornet through his ... Sako? rifle at the Whittington Center. Lovely rifle, fun to shoot caliber, very accurate setup. In a Contender pistol it'd make an interesting prairiepoodle popper.

Starting the cleaning process. Probably wont be done until end of the week as there are a couple of projects in front of this one. Did this a couple years ago with a Springfield 1922 M2. Pretty messy but is fun when all of the cartouches, barrel markings etc start showing up. Sounds like fun! Haven...

Feliz aniversario irmão! Que Deus te abençoe ricamente!

Can't help but wonder how that'd work through the 40th Anniversary Marlins.

Some of my favorite folks in those pics. Thanks for sharing!

My not making it to CSA reaches majority this year - 21 years since the boys and I made it to the one in Athens, TX. Fine, fond memories. Great folk. A great many have gone on over the river. It's always a blast to see the pics and vids and hear the stories!

I like that long-barreled Single Six, Paul! I don't believe I've ever handled one. My Dad's is 6 1/2" but that looks like a 7 1/2? Maybe I am just looking at it wrong .... :roll: I think you've gotten too used to the short barrels... :lol: It's a standard OM SS with (I'm pretty sure) the 6 1/2...

Now you've gone and done it. Got me to cogitating on why I've never tried shorts in my OMSS... Shucks, just haven´t had much time with it in way too long. Back in '06 I DID get to shoot it considerably, but never with shorts. That year I did better with the Ruger than I did with the rifle on squirre...

Grant County, NM?

I came late to the party, "meeting" John Taffin on the forums of sixguns.com and sixgunner.com late in the 20th Century. Then meeting him in person at his home in Boise, ID in '01 - before the twin towers fell. He saw me struggling with the heavy loads I was given for my Ruger Vaquero and ...

John and Dot Taffin were kind and hospitable to me over the years. I really enjoyed getting to know him a bit in person as well as via the written word. I've missed his replies to our newsletter over the past several months. ONE COULD COUNT ON A BRIEF, TO THE POINT REPLY IN HIS TYPICAL STYLE. May Go...

Thanks! do you know Blackie's breed? His face resembles Ranger's . . . Shepherd Rottie cross . . . We picked up Biscuit 9 years ago, she's about 3/4 generic "pitbull" and 1/4 English bulldog - and 100% sweetest mutt you could ask for. But she didn't do good on her own and would serenade t...

Here's an example. I loaded them up to take them out to the gun club with me. Biscuit was looking happily over my shoulder and Blackie was sitting back as relaxed as she ever gets in the car (which isn't saying much, she loves to ride but sits stiffly the whole way). As soon as I got my cell phone u...

Here between the Canal and the Equator our winters are a bit different from those further north in the hemisphere, but they exist none the less! And last night we had a good one. I got up this morning to let the dogs have their morning sniff in the park across from the house and found the place floo...

The sophisticated design and execution of that design is amazing. And when you look at the time period - WOW! Many people today have NO idea how much can be done with "primitive tools". Thanks for sharing that with us.

Staffordshire, eh? Could you send me a nice terrier pup, please? Female, uncut ears and tail.

Our Biscuit is a Bulldog/Terrier mix. Lovely pet.

Apparently there was a Denial of Service attack that caused issues with everyone on the server. That accounts for the bad connections folks were experiencing a couple days back before they took us off the air.

Don't forget David Fagan. He actually does the heavy lifting while we stand around poking things with sticks.

OK, guys. Sorry for the down time. The hosting company unilaterally took us down due to alleged instability in the system. We're up for the moment and working on resolving the issues.

Good to see you still up and at 'em, Nath! Thanks for sharing the results of your hunts!!!

I'm fascinated by the old large format, glass negative cameras. I think it would be a real hoot to give it a try, but that's as far as I've gotten with it.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. I do differ in opinion with him on one matter, sometimes one is limited in what one can do and one can get decent results with less than optimal equipment. So far I've done three Taylor Throat jobs with a Taylor Throat reamer I picked up from Brownells near...

Thanks, guys. Bill, unfortunately I never learned to develop my own film. Resources were limited back then and we were doing good to come up with the $$ to develop the occasional film roll in town. But today's cameras are amazing in what they can do. I don't use photoshop, preferring to let the came...

Sheesh! What am I doing up here in the land of ice and snow? Well, I am getting some bullets cast and shells loaded while waiting for something approaching "shootin' weather". Nice pics Paul. And I'm here playing with airguns wishing I could do some casting and loading... such is life. :)...

Took the old Canon Rebel T3 out this morning to grab a few B&W shots, have been playing around with monochrome occasionally and find it gives a different feel from color photos. Sepia is also a nifty way of looking at the world around us. Anyway, for those of you facing chillier winter weather t...

Gone too soon. I get where you're coming from. The only time I know my dad lied to me was when he said "The best thing about turning 50 is you know you won't die young." He turned 50 three months before the Lord called him home. The weird thing is knowing that I'm "older than my own d...

Jim Maccari, the go to guy for air rifle spares. I've been buying from him for decades. 100% satisfaction.

Scott Tschirhart wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 8:20 am Nice trigger. Great sights. Gotta keep your booger hook off the trigger as there’s no other safety.

I like it.

This what I tell folks about a couple of my rifles. "The safety is between your ears - ENGAGE IT!"

HW makes some great rifles. That definitely looks like an older one, should have a decent, usable trigger. Nice for a low to mid power rifle. Their quality tends to beat out the chinese competition quite handily.

Of that I have no idea. I think that's a Tapatalk feature, but don't know if there's a way for you to activate it here.
