Went to Lakeland on Sunday seeing if I could sell one of my Ruger Blackhawk convertible 45s and to find a Beretta 92 at a decent price. Everyone wanted new prices for their used Berettas and I heard several offers of $300-375 for my Blackhawk or as trade value. Walked out with a couple of 50cal ammo...

Good to hear about your Springer. My Springer GI model proved to be the same way. No failures after 500rds. Gotta' love a gun that does what it's supposed to do the first time. For the sake of just needing to tweek things, I later added an EGW bushing. It tightened the fit at the muzzle end a couple...

Seeing as this year marks the 100th of the 1911 and since it's such an awesome thread, thought it should be brought up from the depths.

Would have started a new one, but knew this one was still around.

meanc

Well, no- they're not much good for practical purposes. You buy one for serious use, you'll probably be disappointed. Denis Shot a 357mag Trapper without the butt stock attached, just the screw thru the tangs. At 25yds put all shots under 3" shooting offhand and as fast as the target was acqui...

Own one. Very reliable. Shoot it well. Really like it.

240 grain JSP (or SWC-GC) with about 19.5 grains of 2400. Moderate load but accurate in my various .44 Mag carbines, rifles, and handguns. Max load is significantly higher than that, but doesn't kill deer any faster. +1 to what AJ said. Have found this load to work great in all my 44mags; single ac...

meanc

Just registered. Only have a Winchester 62a (ca. 1951) so far. Can't seem to wrap my hands around one I'd like any better. More accurate than I am and feeds and shoots without flaw. Been wanting a 22wmr by Taurus. Henry has one, but the looks just don't work for me. Maybe the new Puma will come out ...

meanc

Don't know if already posted or not. Too lazy to check, but they're shown on Henry's website.

If I didn't have a stable of 22lr levers I'd definitely be picking one up.

Big fan of Mossy. Have both the 12ga Mossy 500 and Maverick 88 (5+1 models). Had them for several years with both very reliable. Recently sold the 28" barrels and purchased two 20" vent rib barrels with the accu-choke system. They came with three chokes (IC/mod/full) and a choke wrench. Wi...

Streetstar, Love the hardchromed look - what does it run to have that done? Old Savage, I sent it to Mahovsky's Metalife. Total cost was around $175 including shipping to and from. That was a few years ago so prices may have risen a bit. Sad to say they no longer do firearms from California. They u...

meanc

Had that done after I saw Winchester's version of it. I really like it myself. For locking them in the Jeep, for the Wrangler anyway, there is a cargo lock top system that can be installed behind the back seat. The top latches inside the compartment so it can't be opened from the cab. So the only ac...

These two ride around in my YJ, a stainless Super and 44mag Trapper hard chromed w/ Mahovsky's Metalife.

Of course a 1911 of some sort rides shotgun.

Remember taking an Anthropology class. Professor, an acknowledged non-Christian, was insistent on the use of CE/BCE. I insisted on using BC/AD. After multiple point deductions on essays/papers I called on the dean for assistance in a conference. The professor argued not all students, nor professors,...

Bought a like new Colt (series 70) mfg in 1971 from a recent widow. Came with three fully loaded magazines. Sat in the closet since the day it was bought new. When I took it out of the closet it was still locked and cocked with a round in the chamber. That was in 1997, so 26yrs of fully compressed m...

AJMD, it's just the lighting. Actually, it's my poor camera skills :D Perry, yep. Worked out great. Showed my daughter the pics last night and she said she loved it. She won't get to handle it for a couple of weeks, though. Right now I'm on the third coating of true oil on the stock. Thanks again.

meanc

Thanks all.

meanc

Don't like them or the front sight ramps, or rather the way they look. I prefer the dovetailed blade front sight

I do keep them on the guns they came on.

meanc

Thanks to Perry (aka pwl44m) I was able to get the piece of aluminum I needed for a butt plate so I could finish off my daughter's H001. Now she has a pretty good match for her Colt Frontier Scout. Stripped down and polished the receiver cover and screws, underneath the receiver, and the barrel band...

meanc

Thanks. Just finished up removing the paint on the receiver cover and barrel band of the Henry. Almost finished with the polishing. Just have to give it a once over with some 1000grit and carnuba wax.

meanc

44mag casing with just a primer and wax bullet.

meanc

Sounds good.

I'll send it now.

In 22lr -

It's a toss up between my 39a Mountie and my Win 62a. I like the 9422, too but that one's for the kids, so can't really claim it.

In 22mag -

It's between my Marlin 1894M or Win 9422M.

Found a piece 2 1/4 in wide X 3/16 thick and 3 feet long. Wow, that was quick! Now the question is, how willing are you to cut 5" off of that and how much is it gonna' cost me? I'd hate to waste 2' 7" :D How about a pre made but plate from gun parts corp.? If you'll settle for steel you c...

That would be fantastic.

Thank you.

I need a piece of aluminum with the approximate dimensions to make a butt-plate with. 4.5" long 1.75" wide 3/16" thick I know this is basically just a scrap piece I'm looking for, but all the fabrication shops around here are about 25-30 miles away, and everyone I've found on the inte...

Nice Trails End.

Been looking for one in 45colt for a while. Have the Trapper and Legacy, now.

Just need the in between to feel complete

The state (Florida), which is estimated to have about 6,000 wild swine, now has a “shoot on sight order,” which means anyone with any type of hunting license can legally kill a feral pig. In July 2011, it will become legal for a person to shoot a hog that comes onto his property as well, she said N...

As a vet NCO I've had USAA coverage since I separated in 98 (in 10yrs). They cover our houses/cars/motorcycles. Had class 3 water damage while we were gone for 3wks over Christmas vacation. Came home on 1/10/11 and the mold and must was outrageous. Good bit of personal loss and structure damage. USA...

Yes sir. Doing some remodeling to our house up here. Hopefully we'll be ready to completely move by next June.

meanc

Got a couple more. Going to put them in the slow cooker and have it ready for breakfast in the morning.

I'd fry em up, but trying to watch my cholesterol.

meanc

Rusty,

I picked up some of the Remington shorts a while back. I think they were the 29gr high velocity shorts, but they were pretty loud out of my 62a and 39a. Sounded like a firecracker going off.

I'll head out to walmart and see what they have in stock. They may have a different one out.

meanc

Carried the 39a and Colt Frontier Scout with a hand full of Aguila Super Colibri for some quiet squirrel hunting this morning Saw the first one about 25-30yds standing straight up. Got it with the first shot. I prefer the Super Colibri. Scary quiet, accurate, and squirrel lethal to 30yds. Out of the...

That's an excellent deal considering its somewhat rare status (only 12k prod.). A couple of years ago there were three completed auctions on Gunbroker that had bids up to $650+ Mine has been 100% reliable and as accurate as my 39a Mountie. Bought it from a member here, to boot. Here it is after repa...

Oorah my Devil Dog brethren !!!!

Happy Birthday USMC.

If the book I bought doesn't cover the reassembly procedure then I may just have to do that. Thanks for the heads up too.

meanc

Excellent. Just bought it.

Thanks.

Got it home today, cleaned it as best could, loaded it with a few BBs, pulled the trigger, and WHAMMO... the BB just rolled out. I figure the seal needs replacing. So I took apart the whole rifle; trigger group; main spring; barrel; magazine; etc... Now my problem is twofold. #1 Where do I find what...

meanc

Don't think I'll be getting another anytime soon. I don't shoot the few I have enough as it is. But, on D-day +66yr, I did pick up a prk'd Springfield GI to replace the one I sold to get my 45colt Trapper. I paired it with my trusty old Ka-Bar. Then bought the Band of Brothers DVD set, To Hell and B...

Loaded to max regardless of scenario.

I'd love to join you boys but I'm going to have to be back in Alabama for the next two weeks.

Aside from the 9410, I think any newer prod. Win 94 w/ a barrel of 24" or longer with a pg stock is considered a Legacy.

Yes, they came in 44mag

No, they aren't roll-marked as a Legacy.

meanc

I've looked at the spectrum: Ruger, Volquartsen, Winchester, Marlins, Cooper... For many reasons I gravitate toward the lever action. Why wouldn't you consider a Henry Lever action 22Mag? I own both the Marlin 1894M and Winchester 9422M and the Henry 22M I shot was just as accurate and even more sm...

At one time they did produce a 20" Legacy.

Here's a good list of what they later produced. Some were actually very nice.

You're welcome Salvo. That turned out very nice, indeed.

I know I said I thought it had enough wood to channel out, but man, that was "cutting" it real close

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It makes my stomach turn every time I think about something like this. I've read many a complaint in the past 5 years regarding shipping long arms via UPS.

I have about 200 44mag Fiocchi brass I've reloaded about 3-4 times using 20gr of 2400 under a 240gr bullet. They've held up good enough for me. And as far as your 30pcs 357mag brass go, I suggest getting a bunch more, or you'll wish you had after that first range trip. While you're at it, I'd get a ...
