I think main issue isn't brass hurting scope or changing zero, but rather brass bouncing back down into receiver and jamming action. Maybe a really high mount would work, especially if with a sheet of steel to deflect the brass to the side rather than just bounce it back down off the scope bottom. S...

Voted. 1/3 of the voters

actually think it is a bad idea. Let's give them 1/3 of the parks, with NO guns, then we can enjoy ourselves safely in the others, along with the folks who don't personally want to carry a gun, but don't go around telling us we can't. To hell with the others.

The difference which is important is between VICE and CRIME. A Christian candidate who believes in our form of government would ONLY seek to regulate CRIME (where a true victim suffers real harm - not some trumped up being 'offended' or 'degrading society' stuff that is subjective), and not VICE. Th...

All those thorny problems are AVOIDED if the federal government sticks to what it is supposed to do - 'provide for the common defense' and settle any disputes between states. The feds really shouldn't be attractive to special interest groups, and wouldn't be, if they stuck to their Constitutionally ...

How many of us have written our State or Federal representatives this year? Or last year - if only once? I know, I know - I get form letters as replies sometimes, too. But one cannot win even a small battle if he isn't in the fight. If I were 'king' I'd enact ONE gun law - you couldn't buy a gun un...

The GOA sight was an eye-opener; I'd thought he was at least a tiny bit pro-gun. This quote from Ann Coulter sums up my sentiments somewhat: If Hillary is elected president, we'll have a four-year disaster, with Republicans ferociously opposing her, followed by Republicans zooming back into power, a...

If I can't shoot or pee off my own back porch when I want to then I'm not free and I won't live there. Thank you God for my freedom! That's sort of irreverent, but God's used to me by now, and evidently either finds me tolerable, or is saving up the bad stuff for me, so I think that may be my new f...

Just don't miss it... Consider putting behind it (in case of a 'flyer') some tall 4x4 posts with plywood, pvc sheeting, or even hardware cloth on both sides, filled with pea gravel. You can make something rather large this way cheaply, and keep replacing/repairing it when needed for the occasional f...

Yea - sure - but who makes a lever shotgun ??? I THINK either Marlin or the former Winchester made a lever-action 410 shotgun... Granted, I'd rather have a 12 gauge, and settle for the pump vs. lever to get the 12 gauge vs. 410 bore, but I don't think an intruder would notice the difference; would ...

AJMD429

Seems like either a scaled-up version of the 92 or Marlin 1894 could handle it if they wanted to make one, or even the 336 or other longer action beefed if necessary for the pressure. It does seem that if you can make a durn REVOLVER for the .460, you ought to be able to make a non-'splody barrel fo...

My 1894 Marlin 44 Mag Stainless.

Rugged, Reliable, Accurate enough for my needs with ghost ring sights, Potent enough to drop whatever needs dropped at 100 yards, and Light and Short enough to grab when I go check on the livestock.

Lots of others I like, but you asked for the favorite!

That kind of thing always happens with SCOPES for me. I'll think it is aligned, then I'll shoulder it more quickly/naturally, and it will look tipped. Then I use the other shoulder, and it 'tips' the other way. Drives me Nuts! At least with scopes, I can 'settle' matters by putting the gun buttstock...

I just printed it for my son to read. Sons need to know that being more kind and tender than the average woman might be is a good thing, and part of being a complete man. Likewise, our daughters should know that being a better shot and fighter than the average man might be is also a part of being a ...

If you wanted to trim down to bare essentials, but wanted major power if you had to have it, seems like it would be hard to beat a pair of .454 Casulls - like a Puma and a SA revolver (or DA for that matter). Short, handy, but powerful. The 44 Magnum or .45 Colt or 357 Magnum pairs would be nice if ...

AJMD429

Nice job, but why are you shooting holes in a red outhouse? It's actually an old non-road-worthy horse trailer we use as a shelter for the goats when we let them graze down the range. There are ricochet holes from some friends :?: who were a bit wild shooting paint cans on the ground in front of it...

AJMD429

Thanks for the great information. Sounds like none of them are outright 'junk' so that's good to know. I found a bunch of .357's I'd cast a few years ago, and never lubed, so I tried for the first time the 'tumble' method with some 'alox' and I've only shot about 50 of them, but they don't seem to ...

AJMD429

I'm trying to flesh out my casting equipment and I have used both Lee and Lyman bullet moulds for .44 and .357 in the past, but saw little difference, other than the aluminum Lee ones I didn't see any surface rust on after 20 years of storage (the inside of the Lymans were greased well, but the outs...

McCain is bad. Romney is even worse though. The only really decent ones still on the table are Paul and Huckabee, but since the east coast big media says they "aren't electable" the Republicans so far have stepped in line and voted for the 'lesser evil of the electables' even among their p...

How amazing it is that the earth just happens to be the right distance from the sun.

Well, the ol' Christmas gingerbread house bit the dust this afternoon. It's demise was not by Red Ryder, as I originally thought, but instead via firecrackers!

I got a nice compound bow several years ago to 'hunt' with - but quickly realized I was not that patient, and the deer seemed to waltz around about 50 yards out, and mock me - "Hey, nice bow!" "Cool sights!" So I waited for GUN season and got my revenge :twisted: . This year, how...

I think I posted this on the old site, but Iâ€™m not sure. Hopefully, it will be of interest to those who find the existing shooting rests too EXPENSIVE, too DIFFICULT TO ADJUST, too FLIMSY, and TOO RESTRICTING. The last straw was our interest in leverguns , and trying to sight them off the bench wi...

If I recall, Lewis & Clark had a rather awesome 'air rifle' on their journey - big enough to hunt large game (and impress the heck out of some Indians). They also took their powder for their conventional guns in lead containers, balanced out by volume so the amount of lead in a container would a...

I'm amazed when I think of the rotation. A 3000fps bullet from a 1 in 12 bore is spinning 3000 RPS, thats 180,000RPM & some spin faster than that. Alot of stress to place on a hunk of lead sheathed in copper eh? That's something to think about - bullet RPM actually depends not only on rifling t...

Perhaps if 'they' (our rulers, since we long ago ceded citizen authority to the government) changed the rules so we were allowed to vote for more than one candidate, and we weren't pressured to vote for the lesser of two evils or the most 'electable' one, we could get where we need to be. 'They' won...

AJMD429

McCain is likely just another big-government idiot like most of the politicians we've let the New York Times 'pick' for us by calling them 'electable' BUT at least he isn't blatantly ANTI-GUN like ROMNEY is. McCain has actually voted pro-gun most of the time. Huckabee is legitimately and completely ...

My Rossi 454 is the best made (fit, finish, smoothness) of the four Rossi's I've had. Functions fine, too. My 2007-vintage gun's buttstock has a soft plastic 'sleeve' in the tang-screw hole, which may be a response to the stock cracking issues; I don't know if they have always had that. Power-wise, ...

This kind of thing obviously would apply to relatives - they aim to 'catch' any guns that are transferred to wife, brother, sister, child. Pretty soon owning a gun that is NOT registered with the feds will be tantamount to a federal firearms felony, property seizure, and complete loss of firearms 'p...

I know how it is with the wind, though. We get plenty of that out here on the plains. :) A friend who lived in a semi-urban area (those long narrow lots maybe 3-5 acres in size) rented a backhoe, dug a trench maybe 4' deep and 3' wide straight out from his basement by the little sunken-window there...

I want a rifle with a side-loading gate, like the new Mossberg's apparently have, but can I put a scope on it? Or, do the rings have to be really high up off the rifle?? I may just get the new Henry .30-30 which loads from the mag tube itself instead of a side-loading gate, so that I can put a scop...

There are ALSO some adjustable apertures out there; I believe other postings go into details. If not, someone may re-post, or you can search for them. One kind is a multi-leaf 'iris' and the other simply has a disk with different apertures in it which rotates in or behind the face of the sight which...

Too bad that our rulers: a) don't do enough to thieves to make them think twice about stealing, so the result is we have too many burglaries by losers who never have to actually get a real job because the state provides 3 hots and a cot when they're briefly in jail, and in between times, probably pr...

So where/when does it end? Not with all the voting you could ever hope to do. Because the voting is like killing ants with a hammer.

After reading on Romney's background as far as gun control, there is NO WAY I could vote for him or Giuliani.

The Mini-30 I won does not meet my needs for a combat rifle. It's a good rifle, but too many problems lay in hiding on the Mini's. Number one being the gas block system.
