FWIW - I know they must be a fine bullet company, but I've never had a bit of luck with lazercast bullets, in my ruger SA's, or my Marlin OR Winchester levers. They just don't like my guns.

k8bor

Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know what a "little sharps" is. Does someone have a link to a website or something?

I mounted one of those Taurus tang sights from Able's on my H001 last weekend and I'm VERY happy with it too. I can hit golf balls at 50 yards now pretty easily. What a beauty! I've used lots of aperature sights before, but this is the first tang I've used. Because it works so well, I'm mounting a M...

k8bor

Or, order one from Tim Skinner custom made out of steel or brass. Any size blade, any width, and any height. Very very reasonable prices too, I may add.

k8bor

FWIW - I use brass front blades with my aperature sights. .050 wide. I can see them really well when the light gets low.

k8bor

Well, one rebuild will be enough for me. I think mine is going to end up looking very similar to Salvo's trapper. I really like the look, and since this is a project gun, why not.

I'll take some pics when I'm done.

k8bor

We need more good leaders. Fantastic getting a start like that. Congratulations!!!!

k8bor

Thinking about it, Mr. Miller probably has the best plan, and it shouldn't be too many sheckles either. Whatever I do, I'll send it pretty soon. I've had it for about 6 months and I want to use it. Dang money is always a problem.

k8bor

That's about what I was thinking, even the mod to shorten the distance between the muzzle and barrel band with the sight behind the band. The rifle has all the other good stuff, non rebounding hammer, no cross bolt safety, original metal buttstock, straight eject, etc. I already have a williams aper...

k8bor

That's fine, I'm going to use the 4895 data. I've used that in my .260 with that same bullet and really anchored deer with it in the past. It should work just dandy for this one too.

Really appreciate the help

k8bor

If you meant the .260 and not .380, it might be the .260 case is a larger capacity, and therefore pressure would be down.

Nonetheless, thank you so much, I appreciate it.

k8bor

I have a 1962 Winchester Model 94 in .30-30 that needs some TLC. At some point in time, the front sight fell off and some enterprising home gunsmith re-silver soldered the base back on WWWAAAYYY off kilter, so even if you put a blade in it, you can't even use it. Add to the bad soldering job that he...

k8bor

RKrodle, Thank you so very much. It would be for the 160's with any type of Hodgdon powder. Actually all the 160 loads interest me. It sure looks a lot like my .260 remington, but you never know. The cases I have are Normas, and I'm not too sure about actual capacity, etc. so I wanted to go to actua...

k8bor

Anyone here have any loadata (preferably with Hodgdon's powder) for a 6.5 x 54?

Maybe it's just me, but it appears to be a slightly obscure cartidge?

I need to reload this cartidge, but lack of data.

Politicians are "purchased" by the people with the most money. That's why the drug and oil companies run the government however they want. The 2001 "tax reduction" amounted to me getting a check for $ 486.00 once, and not a single reduction in anything. Look how many times in the...

k8bor

Good, deep roots. I'm jealous.

Great read, great post.

k8bor

Ben T, I think you're right. Brrrrrrrrrrr. No more of that stuff.

It was 19F below when I left for work this morning. We had a spell in the winter of 93' to 94' from the last week of December to the second week of Feb it never got above 0 deg f in the daytime, and at night more often than not, it hit -40f, averaged about -30f at night. Never forget that year. I co...

Often wondered about this. Thanks for the info

k8bor

Homefront, I'm just wondering how to tackle my .44 mag. hunter. The stainless will be a bit different. I might leave that one for awhile, because my hands fit completely on those, but I sure do like the round corners. Have to think on that one. I've never been too squeamish about tackling these thin...

k8bor

Funny, I did exactly the same thing with (2) blackhawks that I had, a .357 and .41 mag. My hands are sort of smallish, and the corners of the stock grips and frame would bite my hands no matter how I held them, especially the .41 mag. So I did the same thing, but on the aluminum grip frames they hav...

k8bor

Whoever it was said it depends on the model of rifle, I think was correct. My 1895CB prints a quite a bit higher with maximum range reloads than with lower velocity ones. I think in that case it is a combination of recoil and barrel length. So maybe the rules reverse themselves at a point of diminis...

Some fine writin' and rememberin.

k8bor

Agree 100%. I've always been a huge supporter of work if your able or starve. I think welfare recipients owe something back to the community supporting them.

"Times have changed in these United States of America. When a man won't work for $300.00 a day because he doesn't get weekends off and doesn't like the working conditions, something is seriously wrong." Bingo......No direction or discipline. I started working when I was 14 and have never c...

Itâ€™s the last week of December â€™07, my Son, Daughter-in-law and three grandchildren are here for the annual Christmas visit. We have two late season doe tags to fill, and the venison supply is low. The grandsons are outdoors people, both fish a lot, and have been duck and rabbit hunting with the...

k8bor

I must have something wrong. Are you talking about McQueens lever? I remember him stating it was a .45-60 with a "rainbow" trajectory, which was his sarcasm regarding not being the guy who shot the kid. That I remember, they said it was a really long shot. Oh Well........... I also seem to...

k8bor

Finally got a pic. I'm a happy customer...........

k8bor

Sometime the next day or so. It was raining cats and dogs yesterday when we got home, I'll take a few tonite. My apologies.

k8bor

The .45-70 cowboy from the raffle trade up I told you guys about last week. What a thing of grace and beauty! Long and slender, like the legs on the prettiest woman you ever saw. I can't believe how nice it swings up and falls into position on my shoulder. The sights seem to align themselves. I neve...

Worries me with all them goodies housed under one roof.

I really hate to be a pessemist, but what happens if Uncle Teddy knows someone there.......etc,etc,etc,

I like the independents to stay independent.

k8bor

It isn't. He must have read it wrong. I'll be giving them $125.00 cash IN ADDITION to the black shadow credit. Should clear that up.

k8bor

Head0001 We have about 18" of snow right now, and it's cold. Supposed to warm up some this weekend though. Yes, Grayling is a great place, and luckily I have a good job, but the state has depended so heavily for a century on the auto business that now most of it has gone away in the last five y...

k8bor

I'm going down there Monday to pick that thing up. I hope I can contain myself. I had one of the best Chrismas' of all time this year with the Grandkids and I have a great hunting story to tell you guys as soon as my son sends a couple pics back after He and his family get back home. You guys will l...

Last year I bought a $5.00 raffle ticket from one of the guys at deer camp from his Conservation (hunting club) for various sundry prizes. Three days ago, the Club financial guy calls and says I won a rifle! To be exact, a Winchester Black Shadow (synthetic stock) bolt action .223. Iâ€™m thinking th...

I lost my only sister when she was 29 from a brain tumor and forever grieve not having a sibling to talk to. I try not to think about the lonliness I would feel as my son is looking toward his fourth tour in Iraq. Bless you, I admire your strength for even getting this far. Just remember he sees you...

k8bor

Where's the picture??????????????

k8bor

I live in the upper part of the Lower Penninsula in MI. I live just NE of Grayling and have a 12 horse blower that I usually have to fire up at least once a week during the winter months. We've got about 2 feet standing on flat ground now, and I don't think we've had half as much as a lot of people ...

Thanks, let's see how it works now.

Getting my avatar to work the right size.

I've got it 95 x 100 pixels in photobucket, but when I copy and paste the link to my avatar line it comes out huge in the emails. Will someone lend me a hand please??

k8bor

God Bless You.

I don't know what I'd do without my wife. I keep hoping I'm the first to go and not have to suffer that loneliness.

Mine is my "go to" backdoor rifle.

k8bor

Thanks, everyone for keeping me from altering my carbine. The guys on the collector's forum told me the same thing, DON'T TOUCH IT! I appreciate your help. I'm now very proud of my acquisition. I figured that the checkering was done by hand. But I never thought they ever did that at any factories. I...

Thanks Pete,
I posted there, will see what I get.

k8bor

Thanks Pete44ru,

Marlinman94 are you around?

Still looking for a way to tell a deluxe from a regular run SC.

k8bor

JDL, I wouldn't know the deluxe model from one that wasn't. What did they do differently? This one did have the white spacers and sling swivels. I honestly think the checkering was done by hand by somebody. It does have the raised cheekpiece (which I don't care for at all). I'll will probably refini...

I bought this 1960 vintage 336SC from the local gunshop Friday. Yesterday I cleaned the bore and mounted an old 3-9 Simmons on it. I grabbed some lead reloads I had and took it out to sight it in. After getting a rough zero with the lead, I went back to 100 yards and fired 4 or 5 groups with some 20...

I agree with you Junior, everyone has become completely partisan for no other reason than pure politics. Sadly politicians have become completely one-sided regardless of what makes sense. Truly a sad state of affairs. Things would get way better if politicians would become reasonably "middle-of...
