I get tired of impossible shots made with rifles, handguns, and shotguns. Guys knocking someone off a roof at 75 yards with a handgun while shooting from the hip quick draw. Rifles making shots offhanded at distances the same rifles couldn't touch off a sandbagged rest. Shotguns blowing huge holes t...

I'd love to see 1" groups from a sandbagged rest, but wouldn't keep any 22LR revolver that wouldn't group 2" with ammo it liked.

JB

I liked it. It's not one I could watch over and over like some of the Clint Eastwood flicks, but it was worth the time to sit through for sure.

JB

I really don't think a person could go wrong with any 870. They all seem to go Bang every time you pull the trigger! I just picked up a N.I.B. Left Hand 12 gauge with the Matt finish, and the Laminated wood for 250.00 Even though I happen to own 4 shotguns already I couldn't pass it up. Now the dif...

That darn blanket is in the way

My neighbor had a cat craw up under the hood to get warm. When he started up the truck, the cat got caught in the belt. That was one of the coolest things I ever saw as a kid

JB

Add me too, please.

I'd love to have a nice trail cam, but they tend get stolen around here.

JB

There are hot ones there for sure, but a few of them aren't very attractive at all, at least a long ways from "model" looks.

JB

I've found their quality control sucks. I've had more problems with new Rugers than any other brand, but their customer service has always been top notch. They repaired or replaced every firearm I've ever had a problem with. Of course I shouldn't have had the problems to begin with!

JB

I'll have to catch this one at the movies. I wait for the DVD for some movies, but big battle scenes look so much better on the big screen.

JB

For concealed carry the 2" gets my vote. Open holster carry would go to a 3" or more with adjustable sights.

JB

I sometimes watch the show as well, but I'll admit it's a little on the stupid side. As far as the James Capone battle, I'd say which ever one got the first shot at the back of his unsuspecting adversary. Capone had the Thompson, BAR, and much more advanced weapons. They'll probably test the Thompso...

JB

Buy the one you like the best. Are you going to keep the 9410 unfired? You seem to be interested in value appreciation. The value will take a good dip if you shoot it. I'm guess for $899 you're talking about the "special grade" (edited to correct my "collector" typo) guns as CMP ...

JB

I ordered several of the mummy wrapped No4 Mk II's back when you could get them for way less than $200.00. I wish I'd have kept at least one, but I sold off all my post war center fire Enfields. I only kept WWII and earlier guns other than the NO 2 22LR trainers. For those I made an exception.

Or shoot them all just to make sure you get the guilty party!

It depends if you're hunting, plinking, or serious target shooting at those distances. The 30-40 Krag wouldn't be my pick for anything other than fun at that distance. For serious target work I'd look at a 308 Winchester. For hunting the 308, 30-06 or one of the 30 caliber magnums would all work.

JB

That's a nice one. What gauge is it?

JB

I'll go along with the others. A 22LR rifle would be hard to beat. I'd probably go with one of my Anschutz rifles.

JB

Do you know who manufactured the No 4 Mark 2? There's a lot of variables to the value. Matching parts, rearsonaled, etc. For a safe bet I'd say a nice common one should be in the $200.00 to $300 range.

JB

You can get the plastic plugs (bullseye) from Marlin. They require fitting and can be a pain to deal with, at least for me. If you're not comfortable installing the swivel, have a local gun shop do it for you, but don't put it where the bullseye is.

JB

I have about a 1/4-3/8 inch hole in the stock where some sort of mounting device use to be mounted. I can get a dowel and glue it in but thought that Marlin might have a special plug that goes in there. My older Marlins have a plug that has a black outer ring and a white inner ring. I would just li...

I am glad to be rid of the freeloader and have my rifle back. My daughter has worked 2 jobs for the last couple of years to support the boy friend (29 years old), their baby (my only grand daughter) and the boy friends dad. Have told her for years to lose the loser. Back to the Marlin. Can I just t...

JB

Most of my hunting is done with open iron sights. For some of my rifles, I will take some white paint or White-out that typists use, and put it on the top edge of the front blade sight. Use the right kind, and you can scrape it off with your fingernail after hunting season. Good point about the cor...

Was the Tanker Garand a real 'battle field' conversion or was it an after market exercise to boost sales of ex army firearms? These are aftermarket jobs. They've been shortened as well as the caliber changed if it's one of the 308 versions. Not collectible in any way, but some folks enjoy them for ...

JB

A non FFL from another state can send a firearm to a CA dealer. I've done it several times. Many FFL in just about every state either don't understand a lot of ATF regs. or have their own polices they often try to pass off as law.

I've played around with a few and find them o.k. for pretending I'm shooting a zombies with an AR, but haven't found the practical for my own use on a hunting rifle. Once it's too dark to see a standard reticle, it's normally too dark for me to see the details needed for an ethical shot. To me the l...

Original issue, on the Model 94 Antique .30-30 carbine were gold-colored saddle ring/stud, and loading gate. It COULD be that a few sneaked out of the factory with blued parts when the gold parts were temporarily out-of-stock, but it's more likely it was switched out at one time or another. I perso...

JB

I'm not any sort of gunsmith, much less a great one, but you can smooth up the trigger and sear areas fairly easy. That won't make a huge reduction in pull, but it can smooth things out a great deal. Be careful not to change angles or remove too much metal. You just want to polish parts, not remove ...

JB

Yes, distributors other than Lipseys are showing the Blackhawk in 44 special now.

JB

Shoot all the unfired collectible guns. It just pushes the value up for those of us who don't! :) I do have a number of unfired in the box firearms. I'd never fire any of the collectible ones. I even have some used weapons I won't shoot for fear of a part breaking. There's a big difference in an all...

JB

I've dropped them. I've seen a pile of them dropped in gun shops. Even if the store tapes them, some goober will break the tape seal them either open them upside down or drop the whole pack on the floor.

JB

Do you think the Marlin 218 Bee is a better rifle than the Browning 65?? I realize it would be easier to mount a scope on the Marlin, but I doubt that I would ever scope a lever action rifle. And the prices I have seen on the Marlin's are pretty high. I have actually seen a couple of the 65's for l...

JB

Although I'd get roasted on some forums for saying this, but I'm not a big fan of the Henry 22's or the big bores. The few I've handled and/or owned never seemed to be top quality.

JB

Forgive me for saying this, but if I HAD to use a lever for groundhogs, I'd probably grab my Marlin 218 Bee and limit my shooting to short range shots. I admit the BLR 22-250 would be a better all around groundhog rifle though.

JB

I love the show, but I'm sure a lot of it is staged like most reality shows. Some fairly informed buyers bring in high dollar items that I'm sure they would sell on Ebay in reality. I can't imagine an educated buyer selling something for 1/2 of what the "expert" just told them it was worth...

JB

Hey Guys, There are a couple of companies that make rings and mounts that will return to zero when removed and replaced. Talley comes to mind. It would take some experimenting initially, but you should be able to do a precise adjustment from one firearm to the other, and the reverse adjustment when...

Just a reply to the Norinco comment - steer wide of those. They tend to use soft steels in the manufacture.

Actually Remington hasn't made a 1911 since 1919. Remington Rand that made the 1911A1 in WWII was a typewriter company and different from Remington UMC.

He's a little guy for sure. The rifle comes to his sternum and it's not even being help straight up.

I own the Kel-Tec because I bought one way before the Ruger came out. I've looked the Ruger's over, but they don't offer anything to me the Kel-Tec doesn't.

I have one of the "Antique" 94's as well. The case coloring has faded a bit with time and use. The brass plating is pretty much gone from the loading gate and saddle ring.

I always wonder about the 5'10" 275 guy with the "will work for food" sign. To be that fat, he's got to be getting plenty to eat, but if he's working for the food, wouldn't he work the fat off? I donated old clothes to a local shelter. It's a tax deduction and much better than throwin...

That looks like something I do the garage with my Black and Decker. On second thought, I think I could do better than that with my Black and Decker!
