I have seen solid white pipes to replace the fiber optic

I have a Huglu double in 20. I got it before CZ became the importer but it is what is now the Ringneck. Absolutely beautiful gun and nice to carry. I had a hard time opening it once after firing at a dove but otherwise it has been fine. I don’t hit well with it though. I haven’t shot it enough to fi...

I hope they go back to what made them famous, Contenders and muzzleloaders. Encore or TCR and maybe a good quality bolt gun that stands out would be good. Not four different lines of box store discount bolt actions that no one can keep straight.

RIP. I always read his articles in the magazines I get, even when they were about guns I did not have or likely to get. For his friends here, Iam sorry for your loss.

Taurus owns Rossi too. But yes they are imported from Brazil from a Taurus owed factory.

I’m still waiting for the sheriff to arrest me for not paying that Indian fellow delinquent taxes a few years ago

44shooter

I handled one at my lgs. Seems like a well made little rifle. My favorite semi pcc is the Ruger LC in 45 acp though. If I wanted a 9x19 I’d probably get the Smith that folds on half. If I’m going to shoot short auto cartridges I prefer they load in the grip to reduce receiver length

44shooter

Taurus owns Heritage. The Heritage Roscoe revolver is a Taurus 85 but with traditional styling

44shooter

Experimental prototypes in the 308s infancy I suspect

My stepdad got the second phase of the brain pacemaker surgery today at UNC hospital. His Parkinson’s has been really progressive lately.

44shooter

One caliber for rifles and handguns, I’m thinking 35 although it’s not my favorite for either. I suppose my 44s would work but I like having a flatter shooting rifle. Give one caliber for each, 30 for rifles, 45 for handguns. Still need a shotgun or three

44shooter

Eye relief is usually reduced as magnification increases. You could try loosening the rings and pulling the scope back until you get a full field at 8x. Hopefully your field of view will still be fine at lower magnification. That’s a lot of zoom at arms length

44shooter

Easy for me. My early production 77/22 I got for Christmas when I was about 15. Bought a compact Burris for it. I replaced the trigger with a Dayton Traister when I was about 30. Will shoot about anything decently. Will one hole at 50 yards with a few loads. When something small needs to be shot, th...

Graf’s has Prvi Partisan FMJs available. Bullets not ammo

44shooter

Recoil? It is pretty much a higher pressure slightly smaller 7mm-08. In a AR-10 type rifle, it shouldn’t be bad for anyone. As a ballistics/cartridge nerd I find it interesting and better than anything 5.56mm. Honestly I can’t see it being than much better than 7.62x51. Yes smaller, more aerodynamic...

I have wondered what the 25 would do in well made rifle. Then again accuracy has probably not been a priority in ammunition development

44shooter

Did Hornady and Speer discontinue their .251 bullets?

44shooter

Funny video. Yep Glock model numbers are strictly chronological starting with their 17. I kept up through the twenties but it’s too much for me now.

44shooter

I manage to go into courthouses and onto airplanes and other prohibited spaces without ammunition here in the US. It is common sense to make sure you are not caring contraband when traveling in certain places. I don’t see any difference between these guys and Griner. They all brought things that wer...

I lost a sock this morning. Reached into a sofa to feel around for it and pulled out my pocket Streamlight I lost a couple months ago

44shooter

Thing is almost anything on a multitool can be be used to stab someone

44shooter

Seems John Marlin's designs are the ones to clone these days...Henry, S&W, Aero, Rossi's long action, and of course Ruger.

I'm okay with the rifle but don't want one. I think it would make more sense in revolver calibers for it's purpose.

44shooter

Kimber does recommend a break in. I don’t remember how many rounds, maybe 250. I did mine in one afternoon with steel cased Wolf which probably isn’t what Kimber had in mind. I had no problems. But I wonder if some of their bad reviews is guys taking a new pistol out the box and getting malfunctions...

Does your family need anything while your house is being repaired?

My Thunder Ranch version of the S&W 22 (model of 1950) is pretty sweet

44shooter

My first experience firing 45 acp was in a Blackhawk. May have been my first firing of a single action, but definitely first for a centerfire single action.

I have some weird shooting firsts. My first 38, 357, and 45 Colts were in rifles. First 22 in a revolver. First 30-30 in a single shot

44shooter

Is this 500 too long for a 1886? Or would a 1895 be more appropriate? It is almost three inches long, so about the length of the old Mauser battle cartridges. I would shoot it in say a Ruger No. 1, but in a handgun I think I would pass. The .500 is too short for an 1886. I run both a 50 Alaskan and...

I remember my dad’s 79 Ford having powder burns on the oxidized gray hood from shooting his 25-06 across it

44shooter

Make mine a stainless Bisley with a 5.5 inch barrel in 44 mag

44shooter

Well I don’t think you would have any feeding issues!

I have no idea if they are quality or not but it sure is cute and classy looking

44shooter

Nice rifle in very well balanced cartridge. The scope is um not for me.

348 and 356 are probably the closest in SAAMI cartridges for a tube fed gun. A 33 on a 444 Marlin case should get you there too, may have to shorten cases a tad.

44shooter

I always felt like I missed out on the 356 Winchester and thought I might pick up a 338 Marlin when they debuted, with dies, brass and bullets too of course. I held a beautiful MX rifle but didn’t buy it. Shortly after, Marlin sold out to Remington, 338 was out of production and hard to find. I did ...

44shooter

I wonder if Ruger may be incline to adapt their 480 to the 1894. I would think 480 Ruger and 50 AE would have similar capabilities

44shooter

When growing up in the 70s and 80s, I heard the term pistol to refer to any handgun. When semiautomatics became dominant towards the late eighties, the gun press seemed to reserve the term pistol to these semiautomatics, with revolvers distinguished from the term, and handguns referring to both plus...

44shooter

My aunt who isn’t old, probably in her late fifties at the time, told my dad a few years ago she couldn’t pull the trigger on her Charter Arms 38. He bought her a 380 EZ. He gave me the 38 not long before we found out he was terminally ill. It’s nice for the pocket. It is hard to say with casual gun...

Ugh!
I have a Burris compact 3-9x on my 77/22. Nice scope

Quite a thumper for a 1894 Marlin I suspect

44shooter

The one I’m referring to is a 357 magnum

44shooter

I think many women choose a small gun because it is light, cute, and fits their hand. Then they find it is too small to shoot well, hard to rack, recoils too much etc. I think many men buy guns that are a bit big because they shoot well, hold lots of ammo, looks cool etc. Then they won’t carry them ...

44shooter

The Huckleberry, imported by Gforce, made by Hugtech I believe

44shooter

The gummy tips do have a substantially higher BC in smaller rifle calibers with the higher SD like 25 to 35 caliber. The handgun version or even the big rifle versions in 44 and 458 just do not bear this out. Plus, weights are limited because of length limitations, which introduces the need for diff...

44shooter

I have been seeing 1892 Browning pattern guns with aluminum receivers out of Turkey on YouTube. Given how the 92 locks via two steel lugs on either side the bolt rear and against the rear of the receiver, do you guys think the aluminum will hold up or give headspace issues eventually?

44shooter

Not sure if the 1894 Marlin or 92 Winchester designs are big enough. If either or both are, I think extraction could be worked out. I think the cartridge would be interesting in a repeating carbine.

44shooter

Maybe NC will get it if Robinson becomes governor. Sometimes I miss when our governor had no veto

44shooter

Locked the action up tight on the 5th round. Had to tap the cylinder out with a small mallet. I'm not even sure how it got bound up so tight, possibly from the moon clip. The last remaining live round did not move, so it wasn't a bullet jump. Couldn't extract the clip without the mallet and drove t...

44shooter

There's no doubt that the 10mm is a powerful round and can be hard on 1911s, but it also depends on how you're loading it just like any other cartridge. Factory ammo can be really hot and one of the reasons I won't buy S&B again. I've had their 10mm damage a S&W 610 jb 8) Wow a 610? That’s ...

44shooter

^^^^this is why we developed 10mm lite, and then 41 AE and 40 S&W 35 years ago

44shooter

My full size CDP (Aluminum frame) has never had a malfunction. Both hands, either hand, dirty Russian steel cases, soft swaged lead bullets, JHPs, fmj, does not matter. They get a lot of flack as a brand, but my 1911 is a great pistol.
