In my previous Church we had the Chief of Police come in to talk about Safety and what to do in case of active shooters. He mentioned that if we were in a state like Tenn. we would most likely have several armed people who were regular attenders. Two people on the safety committee gasped we don't wa...

I was there about 20 years ago and stayed across the street from it. It was a thoughtful experience going through it and I'm glad I did. The Zoo was very good also and I had a enjoyable day there, And while we didn't know it going in, it was Fiesta week and I will say the Texans sure know how to thr...

It's not right to have to force a company to do the right thing, but in this case you need to. Keep the pressure on them

EdinCT

I wouldn't want you shooting at me in anger within a few hundred yards! Is that 95 a 30-06 or a 30-40?

EdinCT

I am also glad to hear you worked it out. I would never of thought we would have a hard time finding parts for a 94. I had replaced al the pins and changed the lifter to a forged one on my 32 Special before I gifted it. It still worked fine but the lifter bothered me. When I had bought my first 94 i...

One of mine is a S&W like Scotts I can hit bowling pins 4 outa 5 at 25 yards if I practice once and awhile. I find a S&W M&P Shield II 40 cal easier to see the sights but harder to be descreet when carrying.

EdinCT

My Dad taught me the load and skip method. I sold my only Colt 35 years ago in a moment of stupidity. And while it was shot plenty it looked good. But my new model Vaquero has that ring and looks awful to me.

EdinCT

Thanks for that information!

I don't buy lottery tickets but I might be tempted after that deal!

I seated a cast bullet without powder coat/or crimp today and it jammed when it went into the rifling. I tapped it out from the muzzle with a muzzle protector around the rod. It was engraved about 3/8 inch up the bore rider. I then seated the bullet with the seating die turned into the same spot its...

EdinCT

Looks good Sir! I have also had fair results from the Lee 250 and also bought a NOE 235 with the nose pins to convert from hollow point to dish and flat nosed bullets. Someday I would like to poke a deer with it But it always gets left home. I checked out Accurate and Arsenal for a 30 cal mold and w...

EdinCT

Scott, that just doesn't seem like it should of happened to a properly bedded Laminate stock rifle. I think you should send Ruger a email with pictures attached. I know if Mr William Ruger were alive it would be fixed on them unless its a truck gun left in the Texas heat. I have had a Ruger 77 MKII ...

EdinCT

I am casting for my 94 30-30 that I purchased and had bought this mold to try because the Lyman 311041's aren't in stock anywhere. After running a batch of bullets I noticed that the diameter was only .3075 with my Lyman #2 and 20-1 50/50 blend. So I powder coated them with Harbor Freight red and lu...

EdinCT

That would tempt me bad! I have never shot a 1873 but they are a thing of beauty. I recommend the book 50 years a hunter and trapper I think its still sold by Fur Fish and Game Magazine. Mr Woodcock who was a commercial hunter and trapper in PA from around the civil war until the early 1900's told h...

EdinCT

I just reupped for 5 years with hope that they get back on mission. But I also have no idea who is good and who is bad on the ballot. I did tell them no extra funds while Wayne was still in house.

You did well! I suspect he will be fine eating.

Around 1977 I was working with a older Gentleman and mention how I was going to buy a 99 Savage in 308 before the next deer season. I then offered me a BLR he had bought years before and never shot for exactly what he paid for it. He said when he bought it he had bought two one in 243 and the .308 a...

I was just thinking about this yesterday! I was shooting a 44 Bisley Vaquero and thinking I can't see the sights at all, and wishing I had never sold my 4 5/8 45 Blackhawk.
I can't replace it for the 135.00 I paid for the Blackhawk new either.

EdinCT

I have a nice 38WCF1892 from my grandfather that has a Marbles tang on it and I have to say it is a GREAT shooter! I looked for a Colt clone for years and just recently given up. I have handguns I don't get to shoot now so I'm showing restraint. I have posted in the past that when I was young I wish...

I have used XTP's in the muzzleloader and had Many DRT kills, then one day a friend shot a doe and hit her in the shoulder and the XTP went in and came out the same side which only caught one lung and she gave us a long trail. I switched to Speer deep curl 240 soft points and never looked back. I ha...

I was visiting a friends fathers cabin in upstate New York and when I opened the pantry door I noticed it had a dead bolt and was metal sheathed on the pantry side. The window sill had claw marks inside and out on the porch side. When I asked my friend she said with a straight face it was going fine...

EdinCT

I gave my 32 Special to one of my sons, It was a fantastic cast bullet shooter and I really missed it, I ordered a Lee 170 FP mold and if this new rifle shows promise I will find a Lyman 311041.
I also bought a Williams 5d in case the opens aren't workable for me.

EdinCT

I think you fell into a beauty! I saw a Lyman 200 gr 44-40 mold on ebay yesterday if you need one. Give us a range report when you shoot it please.

EdinCT

Well, I had a moment of weakness today and saw this 30-30 used but not abused on the rack. I looked at the price and it was 700.00 I thought I sold my first 30-30 for 80 bucks around 1975 and it wasn't a pre 64 so I guess the price was fair in my mind so I bought it. My wife said to buy yourself som...

Mr. Hanson is has good of a man as they come. Prays for him and the Lords will be done.

EdinCT

She did very well for sure! I noticed how different her rifle is from the one I shot my first deer with.

EdinCT

I am like Gunny and have never fire a single 16ga shell in my life. I was in a shop and looked at a worn gray Model 12 with a poly choke, when I picked it up I just thought I could really kill birds with this! But resisted the urge.

EdinCT

Congrats! What's not to like about that and a sixty yard drag makes it better.

EdinCT

I'll be the odd man out and recommend the Hornady 170 gr flat points. They open up really well and hold together really well. I used Speers 170gr also and found dead deer but the bullets didn't mushroom has well.

EdinCT

Praying for Child and family.

EdinCT

That's all I shot in the 1970's. I always thought they would perform like a Nosler Partition where the front would expand and blow off. Then the back end would punch through.
Never found one to prove my theory. They fed great in my 1894 Marlin too!

I have an top eject 94 Big Bore from my Father. The trigger seems pretty bad meaning long and creepy. I have ordered the 13 and 15 LB springs from Wolff and was wondering if anyone has used them and what were the results? I have had two other 94's in my life a 30-30 which I stupidly sold and a 32 Sp...

EdinCT

Buffalo Bore loads it I believe but its pretty dear last time I looked. The 32 spec was loaded with kleanbore primers so there is a good chance more rifles survived the mercuric primer era. I recommend loading 150 rounds and when you shoot up a few boxes reload them. https://www.buffalobore.com/inde...

The rifled choke I bought for my Sons 870 was a Colonial brand I think and it worked ok with slower slugs for 5-6 shots. Then I had to brush it out good. I could get fosters to group around 3-4 inches at 75 yards which is a long shot in the woods. I have to admit since Federal came out with the true...

EdinCT

I had bought the Lyman 20 ga mold years ago for use in a 870 with a rifled choke I bought my youngest Son. I never have used it but keep thinking one of these days. You have relit the thought process. Looks really good compared to the groups of my youth!

EdinCT

Lately I have been getting a email that my package has been delivered and it shows up in a day or so. Is that the post office trying to look good ? I do miss the days when it was dependable.

EdinCT

I bought a 39A around 2007 and It wouldn't extract shells and the rebounding hammer would misfire often. That drove me nuts because it is a tack driver and what good is a rifle that only works part time. If I had known of the changes Marlin had done I would of shopped for a used older one. Marlin se...

Years ago a friend cleaned out a widows basement and had a bucket of gun parts. In it was a Remington Model 11 receiver and magazine tube and I told him what it was anyhow several of the men I hunted with had the when I was a boy. He said take it, a barrel 240.00. A spring kit from ART's 120.00 and ...

I found the 32 to be easy to get to shoot cast at 2000 fps with great accuracy. I think Winchester did speed up the twist on the latter years 32 special runs. I also have had faster kills with the 32 and jacketed flat points than 30-30, to the point it did seem special.

EdinCT

Great minds think alike! I saw my die yesterday looking through a bin on the bench.When I saw it I thought I'd better make up some more 22's. I shot two red foxes in my chickens with a SGB. They dropped right quick too!

I used Alcan 7 For 1 1/4 oz 12 ga when I was in high school. I would buy it if the can wasn't rusty.

EdinCT

Scott, I shot those out of my first 44 Marlin 1894 I bought around 1973. They shot great, about 2 inch groups at 100 yards with irons. I thought they would be like a Nosler partition blowing the front half off and driving through. never recovered one. I am shooting the NOE 250 Ranchdog style now tha...

I load 4 gr of Unique in the 32-20 for plinking in my rifle with good case life and 10 gr of Alliant 2400 (not for older revolvers) with good case life. Starline brass is better than others. Elmer shot an elk with his 32-20 and while performance was not stellar he got it done. He loaded it hot becau...

I shot one at JR.Rifle club. It was a beauty that cut one hole if I did everything right. My buddy Tom would shoot the clip on my target with his 37 and disqualify mine if it tore off. He thought that was funny. I bought a 541S for my hunting 22 because of the impression the 37 left on me.
