When my son fired one at 9 years old, we put three rounds in it at a time... That's the thing I've been wondering about. Anyone who knows someone has never fired a FA firearm shouldn't let them have at it with a full magazine. Did the people putting on this event take that precaution or not? I'm gu...

He's selling the ammo for $4.50 per cartridge? Are dies available, or is the ammo where he's really going to make his money?

Wasn't there a time when "coyotes" and "Connecticut" just didn't occur in the same sentence? When did that change (if it did)?

Get two more of the same scopes and two more of the same rifles and have both scopes on both rifles.....somebody had to say it!

Now I just need to figure out what kind of finish to put on the stainless parts. Any suggestions? Radio Shack sells a kit for making printed circuit boards. The etchant that comes in the kit will turn stainless steels (at least, some alloys) a dull gray. If you can find a copy of "Handguns '99...

Also, doesn't a "Straw Purchase" only refer to buying a firearm for someone who is not eligible to purchase it himself, i.e. a convicted felon?

Competitive shooting always devolves to a speed game. When "Cowboy" shooters start using the smallest calibers and lightest loads they can get away with, it's time to revisit the rules.

I remember hearing about people my folks knew years ago; I don't know how many times I heard that "so-and-so" retired--and then a few months later, "so-and-so" died. There were also a lot of people who made it to, say, age 60 and then they just died. Of course, I would never have...

I never liked the "Mako Shark" Corvettes. Just don't appeal to me. I like the '53-'57, the '63-'67, and '83-up. And lever guns!

Show it to me in stainless, with a 6" barrel, and a Bisley grip and..................I still can't afford it.

Do you take those for a walk, or do you ride them?

I'll bet this was exciting, too.

Forty-four thousand pounds? That's almost enough--for any individual gun owner. Boy, I'm way behind!

"Social groups".....Boy, that doesn't sound like people who would shoot each other in a Toys-R-Us, does it? Eric Blair has got to be laughing his dead head off...

When I went to look for a lever-action in .357 back in 1981, I was told the caliber wasn't legal for deer in Colorado, so I got a .44 Mag Marlin. I've never even looked to see if it's still not legal. Obviously, within its range, the .357 will do the job.

JustaJeepGuy

I read Paco's article about the Winchester in .444 Marlin. Why didn't he write it before I bought my Marlin?? Oh, yeah--when I bought it, Winchester didn't yet make a .444......

Didn't they go out of business 15-20 years ago?

Sounds like a good time for an experiment.

I used to be a die-hard Burris guy, but I haven't bought one of their products since they were purchased by Beretta a few years back and are no longer fully made in the USA anymore (I think the Fullfield's are now Filipino-made). I asked Burris themselves about this last year. The message I got was...

I don't want to seem picky, but I believe that should be "mjilnor".

I don't know why, but to me, the barrel on a blued Redhawk always looks shorter than the same length barrel on a stainless Redhawk. Some strange visual effect or something about the photos or something just makes them appear different to me.

I rode from Colorado to Ohio and back at the end of September on an '85 FXRS (80" 5-speed). I'm thinking I would have been much more comfortable on something like that.

Does anyone use the Lyman 1200 DPS 3 Digital Powder Scale and Dispenser System? I haven't, but I would--if I had the bucks for it. It supposedly is accurate to +/- 1/10 gr., and all you do is push a button to dispense. No holding your tongue right, no two knocks here/one there, and no dip-and-weigh ...

JustaJeepGuy

Wouldn't ya know it, Marlin waited until just after I bought an 1895M (I heard the news RIGHT after I bought the .450) to announce they were making that stainless beast. Bad timing on my part AGAIN!

JustaJeepGuy

The bend is very slight, just a few thousandths over the length of the barrel. The ejector rod housing screw won't be affected; it won't do anything different than it did before. As far as looks, would you really prefer a front sight bent up, filed down and otherwise mangled?

JustaJeepGuy

How is it wrong? It would depend on why the sights wouldn't match the POI, maybe? I won't condemn it if it works.

None of the four Colts SA s I own will come anywhere close. There was an article in either Gun Digest or Handguns 2xxx (I can't recall what year) by a guy who didn't want "imitation" Colts, and he didn't want to bend/file front sights to make the guns shoot, so he bent the barrels. He wou...

I read an article by Ross Seyfried a number of years ago, and he mentioned that straight-wall cases shrink as they get re-sized. I haven't trimmed a straight-wall case since then. I have in the past stretched some 9mm and .45 ACP cases. I suppose it will work with .45 LC cases, but you run the .45 c...

Thanks to all who responded to my question. I didn't know the .357 Max was ever a factory chambering in the Handi. I need to follow the link in Hobie's response, too.

Purportedly it was a 3 and 2 mix of aces and eights, known as a full house. The full house with aces and eights is known as a dead man's hand as it was supposedly what Mr. Hickock was holding.

Rusty wrote:...get the factory .357 barrel and then have it reamed out to a .357 Maximum

This is something I would like to do. Will the action really handle the Maximum? It's pretty hot, but the case head is small; I've not seen any write-ups on this conversion.

No, they are entirely different actions. Look at them side-by-side and you'll see. As to reliability, I haven't seen a difference, but I haven't worked with the longer action all that much.

Remember when the Hazmat fee first started and it was only $7.00? And it wasn't supposed to go up?

I have a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. I once tried to use .44 Specials in it. I used a 200-gr. JHP in the Spec. case, and it locked the action up because the cartridge OAL was too short. I had to disassemble the rifle to get the round out. I haven't tried Specials in it since. Whichever one you get, make...

They're made in China--what do you expect? Of course, so are so many other scopes. Even Burris Fullfield II scopes are made "overseas". I asked Burris about them last year, because the ads I saw didn't indicate that the Fullfield II was made in the USA. The reply I received was that everyb...
