I get then out the same way as all others.
I slide the sleeve to expose as many as I need, cover them with the bottom of my flipper tray and turn them over.

Hi-HO Silver, Away!!!

Single shot and bolt action .410's are plentiful and cheep.

45/70's and .444's could easily be loaded with felt wads and shot.

Either way would be safer and more effective.

Anything hot, new, or popular. I've always been a contrarian.

They had it right when it was the .244.
If you're going to shoot deer with one bullet and prairie dogs with another, which one should the rifleing twist be optimized for?

.41 magnum kind of annoys me. I just don't see the reason for it. I guess there's something out there that needs to be shot that a .357 isn't enough for and a .44 is too much for. :P Flame suit on! :D The .41 magnum exists because, no one wanted to admit that George Herter was right about something...

About twenty years ago I sent mine to Daisy. They charged a small fee and sent it back in a new box. Its been working fine ever since.

I agree with Vance Randolf. "When you're young all beer is good. When you're old all beer is bad."
I've reache the point where all beer is bad.

Not exactly a western but, another great Gregory Peck film was The Yearling. Especially the real bear/hound fight.

OK, modern times - Rancho Deluxe I agree, Rancho Deluxe is one of my favorites also, Lonely Are the Brave.

Something that shows up in every western and pre-automobile era movie and always makes me smile is, grass growing in the middle of a road.

Peter's Blue Magic shells were still being made and sold in '79 and '80.
I bough quite a few boxes while shooting on my company's trap league.
I reloaded them until they started coming apart.
You may remember the billboards advertising them as "Lab Approved".

I believe that forty grains is the recommended maximum but, I get much better accuracy with 35 grains.
This is probably because the lever can bottom out, giving consistent compaction of the powder.

A .22, a 12 gauge modified choke, and some # 1 1/2 traps will keep you feed anywhere in the world. The .22 can be a single shot or a revolver, the shotgun would be a single or a pump, though a bolt action would also be reliable. The last mountain man, Bill Casto also carried a slingshot. What's the ...

One of my uncles made most of his living with a .22 and a fishing rod. He always had a rat terrier and it's name was always Buster.
Squirrels, rabbits, Raccoon, possum, skunk, if it could be eaten or had a pelt to sell they hunted it.

Stocks, guns, horses, or junk, buy low, sell high. Unless you are a socialist, then give me my share of what you have.

There are plenty of high quality 22 lever guns available - such as my Browning BL22 - http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/RIFLES/ABL222.jpg :evil: We just purchased a Browning BL-22 for my wife. Although it's a good shooting gun I was disapointed to bring the gun home from the store and f...

It seems to me, no sane mountain man would have ever considered throwing his knife or his hatchet. But, I'll bet every mountain man threw his rifle at some time.

We must have had much stronger border control back then, they could only get 33 pilots and 270 support personnel to work in our bases. Today that would read 33 pilots, 2.7 million support personnel and 5.4 million anchor babies. That being said, yes I did know about Mexico declaring war against Ger...

I used to carry an $8.00 Westclox Big Ben when doing carpentry. When I got a factory job 32 years ago, I laid it on the dresser and left it.

My Crosman 760 sets in the garage for months at a time. Whether I leave it charged or not, every time I pick it up the pump arm is limp. A drop of Crosman oil and a few minutes of mad pumping warms up the seals and gets it working again.

On the #4 rifle head space issues can be taken care of by changing bolt heads.
Bolts ordinarily have the serial number etched because they were fitted by the armorer.

Files are cutting tools not abrasives. They cut in only one direction and should not be dragged back across the material. Files should not touch each other because files dull files just as diamonds cut diamonds.

The puzzling thing about this thread is, all the patriots who shoot Italian, Brazilian, Japanese, and Chinese lever guns are disparaging a gun made in America and hand fitted by American craftsmen.

I have two smooth rifles, a .56 TC Renegade and a .62 Green Mountain barrel in a TC stock.
Using Dutch Schultz method they both shot one hole groups at 25 yards.

Most animals can be put down instantly by taking them from the side and putting the bullet half way between the eye and the ear opening.

This is especially true for putting down a dog.
Shooting a dog between the eyes while standing over him misses his brain entirely.

How would one get FMJ ammo for a .444 or a 30/30?
Using anything else would be a war crime and a propaganda gift to the enemy.
