My guess is that Ruger's engineers are going over the 94 and 336 microscopically, writing new CAD programs and talking with marketing. I would be very surprised if they don't substitute investment-cast frames for the old forged ones. Other than to uphold tradition, there is no reason not to.

Now wait a minute GK, I have a lot of Ls and Ws in my names, Mister!

Blaine, you're not supposed to tell people about the availability of airgun pellets, man! Keep it a secret! Glad you are enjoying your big Diana/RWS 48. I am shooting a little Xisico B-25 these days. It shoots way better than I can.

Bill in Oregon

SOLD.

Bill in Oregon

I just want to see what Ruger does with any of the Marlin lever guns. Really trying not to let my hopes get out of hand.

Blaine, are you all right?
My bathroom sink counter looks like a pharmacy these days ...
I'm not that bad....normal aches and pains for an auld phart...that's all.
I just thought this was funny.

Whew! Good to hear. I was worried.

Gracias for posting, Jim.

Bill in Oregon

Seated them a smidge deeper and they ran flawlessly. Now to try a larger sample and put them on paper.

Brutus is the bomb, 6-Pt.
I had to look up ZZ birds. Had not heard of them. Great idea.

Brian, you have that right! A dog, a crackling fire and a mug of beer -- with the Gospels near. What more could a feller need?

Bill in Oregon

Cowboy, the Rugers are scarce right now-- and awful spendy.

Bill in Oregon

Wondering how complicated it would be to attach the trigger guard/strap from a standard Peacemaker to the rear grip frame of an Italian Bisley, then find someone to make the stocks. Anyone try this? Just daydreaming, as Dixie has some Uberti Bisleys on sale for $495, but many find the trigger reach ...

Gunny, the compressor and expense is what has kept me from enjoying the PCPs. I briefly owned a Benjamin Marauder in .25 -- quiet, accurate and powerful. But I was coming off back surgery, and trying to pump that reservoir full with the Hill hand pump was torture. Off she went.

Bill in Oregon

Impressive numbers -- good enough for deer at reasonable range, I would sure think. That little FXAirguns radar chronograph is pretty darned cool.

Bill in Oregon

Lenn, that is swell -- the ancestor of the modern, electronic pinball machine. Does it have a tilt switch?

Bill in Oregon

Makes me hurt all over again, Bronco. I know how your heart feels.

Bill in Oregon

I have to agree with every post here. Lenn makes my inner child smile.

Thank you, my friend, for all the innocent joy you have brought me -- and joy to come!

Bill in Oregon

Well, I have some work to do. Even with just 4.5 grains of Universal, the big 255-grain Lee recoiled about the same as the Federal HST+P -- stoutly -- but out of 20 test rounds about half failed to go all the way into battery. It is hard to see, but you might notice the ring around the boolit at the...

Bill in Oregon

Told Jim in the comments that he and the Lord put this Youtube up just for me this morning, but I'll share!

Bill in Oregon

Well, they are handsome but the jury is still out on whether they will feed. Will try to test them tomorrow, although we may actually have rain for the first time in forever.

Bill in Oregon

I have one in very good shape, with Lee dies and 50 pieces of Starline .45-70 brass, that I am thinking of letting go of. PM me if this is of interest. I am surprised at what they are going for on Gunbroker.

Bill in Oregon

Ray, I think he acted on "Trumpian impulses" that we can't and don't want to discuss further, but the non-violent movement and the truth of it was so much bigger than the man. Blaine, my friend, nothing wrong with carry, but scarier when the carrier is a wingnut who believes in conspiracy theories l...

Bill in Oregon

Hoping to get this boolit to feed through an XD. Will get to the range with it on Thursday. Using 4.5 of Universal Clays for the test fuel.

Bill in Oregon

Ray, I never thought of using one for larger calibers. Great idea!

Bill in Oregon

Just listening to my own VERY hot air here. 😄 At this point in American history, I have a much deeper respect for Doctor King's dedication to the principles of using non-violence to effect change. It took --and takes -- magnitudes more courage, character and faith in the potential for good in human ...

Bill in Oregon

Good old Texas Monthly. Thanks for the link Brian!

Bill in Oregon

Grizz, hope you can get her running like a top. Back about 20 years ago I went fly-fishing near Wrangell, Alaska -- my only visit to that staggeringly beautiful state-- and brought along the 5 1/2-inch stainless Redhawk in a shoulder holster that held it up around the top of my waders. I loaded 340-...

I look forward to a more recent post from the late Neal Knox's son Jeff, but this is just a taste of what is going on inside the troubled old institution.

I wonder what it will take to get rid of LaPierre and his cronies.

Bill in Oregon

Ray, I am sorry to hear this. I will send an e-mail asking what the heck.
I still think part of this New York to Texas gambit is part of a LaPierre conspiracy to shield his greedy malfeasance.

Bill in Oregon

I wish they would ditch that sack of peepee LaPierre.
I am an SAF guy these days.

Bill in Oregon

Some real beauties there, Lenn. Loved the "odd ball pop-pop boat"!

Didn't you build a large iron-ore hauler like the ones you and Norma saw up in Duluth, or am I thinking of something I saw over on the Mamod steam forum?

Bill in Oregon

Makes me want to watch some steam-powered boat videos made by my friend Pitchy up in Minnesoty ...

Bill in Oregon

Very cool. Lenn, what is the fuel source? Butane?

Bill in Oregon

That old gal knows a thing or two about weaving! Thanks for the link, Lenn.

Bill in Oregon

Lenn, adding the treadle function was a stroke of genius! Loved the Youtube.

We must have our requisite doses of silliness, Jim, lest we sour out. :lol: I am well-placed to enter one of these arguments having just acquired a 1917 in 6.5-06. I know this cartridge to be superior to the .25-06 and the .270 in every way. Just don't ask me how I know! :lol: :lol: :lol: I recentl...

Had to look up Sanderson. Mercy sakes, six churches for a population of 837. Hope those pastors have some side work!

Goebbels would be proudest of a certain C-in-C, and so would Aldous Huxley.

Bill in Oregon

Lenn, very nice, and way more traditional than the inkle loom I built. Great for making garters, powder horn straps, tumplines and other obscure sundries from long ago ...

Bill in Oregon

As a retired member of the "lamestream media" that gets so little respect these days, I will say just one thing: Beware any news source that tells you what you want to hear. That's the real "fake news." In my decades in newsrooms, everyone I knew tried hard every day to tell the truth and get it rig...

Bill in Oregon

Check Brownells.

Bill in Oregon

Scott, your honesty is both refreshing and deeply appreciated. Thank you from another "work in progress."

Bill in Oregon

Tycer, that bullet alone has me daydreaming about a little 92 in .357 for the first time in many, many years.

Bill in Oregon

More wisdom from Jim that you can take to the bank. Thank you!

Bill in Oregon

Scott, interesting take and some neat family history. My great-great grandfather lied about his age and enlisted at 17 in the First Texas Mounted Rifles in Austin in 1845. He rests in the soil of Kimble County. A very good book about this unsettled period is "I'll Die Before I'll Run," the late Texa...

Bill in Oregon

Well that's a neat idea. Can still buy clothespins at Wallace's. I use them mostly for leatherwork -- holding a holster of wet veg tan closed around a handgun.

Bill in Oregon

That's a swell bullet there, Tycer. Ready to do some heavy lifting, like Mick's.
