I have 2 different air fryers. And early style tub type and the first model of the Emerile fryer. The Emerile is fantastic! Hard cooked eggs in 18 minutes, bacon in 12, has a rotisserie, burgers whatever. This can do just about everything with no ambient heat, a lot less electricity and it's fast! Y...

Got over to the hunting property this morning, not much snow left, was hoping for at least tracking snow but I digress.

As I was walking around, the shooting bench was snow covered and apparently the foxes are using it for height advantage!

At 55 mine is starting to go but it's not from shooting so much as the power tools I've worked with the past 40 years. Now I always keep foam plugs in my watch pocket. I blame circular saws. I've got a pair of Walkers Game Ears, they are ok but I prefer my Sig earbuds. Both are Bluetooth capable, bl...

It's quite possible that the transfer bars work harden over time. Being investment cast some of the material they are cast from could be harder to begin with.
I knew an engraver that flat outrefused to engrave Rugers, just wouldn't cut.

GunnyMack

Got my Parker factory letter today!

Someone opened the left choke, and I know the forend isn't orignal but boy how the bevertail feels so good.

GunnyMack

When the 25-45 came out I was intrigued by it. Of course I forgot about it. Now that it's come to light again it gets me thinking... I have a 700 action in 17 rem, no groundhogs around here anymore so I don't need it and the 25-45 might be a good idea!

Great buck by the way!!

GunnyMack

Just goes to prove you don't have to be competent to hold a position!
I'm sure they'll blame the Rust armorer.

GunnyMack

Well if you have a 41 already then might I suggest keeping the 357 as a 357 but send it out for new cylinder with the proper dimensions and a new barrel if the oversized bullets don't cure its ill's.

GunnyMack

Scott you already have a great shooting 45, if you aren't happy with the way the 357 shoots then might I suggest converting it to 41?
Yes I know it's the red headed stepchild but it's the best of both worlds, heavier bullets than a 357, flatter shooting than a 45 .
Just my 2cents...

GunnyMack

I say the 360 beats the snot out of the 350 'legend' . Like fourbore says it's not great by any means. Now the 400 legend is more to my liking!

I'm sure you will be quite pleased with your new Henry! Please post shooting results.

GunnyMack

I think that choir is a little off key, they sound a bit 'tinny' !

GunnyMack

Another first for Sage this morning, Hun's ! No not those Huns - Hungarian Partridge ! Sage had the first point this morning, a hen pheasant. She grabbed it, I took it away and tossed it up, shot it. Parker delivered it to hand. Parker had the second and 3rd flush. Then Sage found, pointed and flush...

This guy also ate roe.

Yes, a little. It'd be better if someone like Brian Pearce or John Taffin had it.

Or in the National Firearms Museum

No liver for me either.
The liver is a filter, any and all contaminates end up in the liver.
Another buddies dad would eat deer brains, fried up with eggs.
I guess those from the old country made use of every bit of edible they could.

GunnyMack

Sounds good!
A friends mother used to make deer heart stuffed with Chestnut stuffing then smothered in sauteed onions with clarified butter and brandy. Sadly she is gone and I never got the recipe.

GunnyMack

If I lived in a rifle state the 360 would be my pick. Sure I have a 44 Ruger carbine, a Henry 41, and a 450 bushmaster but just something about the 360 I really like. Not to mention that brass is much easier to keep control of unlike the semi autos. Keep us posted on how you like it, how it preforms...

GunnyMack

Fantastic old iron and buck !!

GunnyMack

Just what it says- that person is your foe, enemy, dislike, disdain for said person.
Why it's part of the forum ya got me.
We are all grown ups and if you don't get alone with someone you should be grown up enough to just ignore and move on.

GunnyMack

Won't be original but Boydes has Marlin stocks, replace both and they match.

GunnyMack

Hope Sage gets the first point and retrieve with it, Will. 8) She didn't get the first point for the Parker but she had 4 points and 3 retrieves!!! 2 of which were chukar that she had never smelled before. She also got to join Parker in a rodeo chasing a winged rooster. That's was a fun 5 minutes! ...

GunnyMack

I have used it, rifle cases though. I had mixed results, small case it worked just fine, bigger than 308 I had cases stick. I didn't bother cleaning them afterwards.
I then tried Frankford Arsenal's alcohol based spray and I'd buy it again. Although I still sometimes use a lube pad.

GunnyMack

With iron sights I've come to like a sheet of cardboard, then put a cross on it. You want to hold where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect. Irons on a black bull is just a waste of ammo. Heck I don't even use a printed target, much preferring cardboard with either a square of duct tapt, mag...

GunnyMack

You are not wasting our time or your own. You are seeking help and we can and will try to help. That's how I found this forum.

Next time you are out to shoot groups do everything exactly the same. Hold the gun the same, shoot single or from the mag. Just do it the same each time.

Want to draw deer to your tree stand- hinge cut a tree just when the leaves start to turn, at that point the leaves are full of sugars and the deer will go nuts for them. I've seen deer walk to a fresh cut oak tree to feed with skidders, loggers working on the same tree. I've also seen deer eat corn...

GunnyMack

It's proven that a free floating barrel shoots better than a barrel that has a contact point somewhere in the barrel channel. Applies more to 1 piece stocks. while 2 piece stocks are a different critter. Take the magazine tube off the gun, shoot a group. Then install the tube and the screw, shoot a ...

GunnyMack

My deepest heart felt
THANK YOU!

GunnyMack

Yes this has the bolt through the forend.
The medallion has not been engraved.

GunnyMack

Oh it works for me, I just hate the fact that I have to turn my phone sideways to see all the information.
Since Alliant has decided to kick us reloaders to the curb I've given up on them.

GunnyMack

I posted more pics over there, the stock is serialized- smeared from years of recoil. The stock also has what appears to be a nickle silver weight which i forgot to mention. The checkering is probably done after it left the factory as you can see 20241110_175141.jpg Ill send an email soon, thanks. A...

GunnyMack

Gotcha, thank you. I'll look into it.
I have a suspicion it's not original but again I'm not a collector.

I guess I have to make more posts before the site will allow me to request the factory letter?

GunnyMack

Their center sucked before and it's just slightly better after they updated it...

GunnyMack

I dont doubt it's not orignal or someone decided to give it a face lift by refinishing and changing the checkering pattern. I say this because the flures de lis on the forearm is not proportional. However, I believe the receiver is orignal color case and I'm sure the blue isn't original. But this gu...

GunnyMack

Yes, I've joined and awaiting the confirmation, I'll get the letter to satisfy my curiosity of when,where it was ordered/ sent.

Someone on the Parker forum has already said the wood is not original...

GunnyMack

Sounds like a wonderful first hunt for the young dog! I sure miss having a good bird dog, or any dog at all! But my bird hunting days are behind me, so just a good dog for home is what I'd like again. One that can give the two cats something to harass, or to harass them! Three words JACK RUSSELL TE...

I've joined the Parker Collector's, apparently they have factory records for this gun so I'll order the factory letter.

Today it will get rebaptized as a field gun.

GunnyMack

If I read the serial number chart correctly on the Parker collectors site it dates to 1913.

GunnyMack

I'd say you have it dialed in for a PPP !

GunnyMack

You all know of my black lab Parker. Yes she is named after Parker shotguns. So last week I got call from a guy looking for some info about a Parker, value, grades etc. Not knowing much about them i deferred to our resident Parker specialist, 6pt Sika. So this afternoon I made the hour drive to go s...

GunnyMack

Fantastic Scott!
Details, tell us the whole story!

GunnyMack

Sage does that is. She is no longer the silly puppy as today she started her hunting career. Our opener for Upland birds this morning, I had to sneak the gun, E-collars ( no matter how hard i try the bells make noise!), my vest & shooting bag out of the house while the dogs were outside. As soon...

I think the only thing needed for the hoards are boxes of tissues and therapy rabbits!

Nothing there to be ashamed of Jim! I can't shoot groups that good at 20 yards!
Gotta love the 41 !

Gotta love living in the mountains!

Have a good one Steve!

GunnyMack

But then we'll need a 49 caliber for Trump's son, then a .51 for his daughter, a 52 for his other son !!

Wait a second, a .53 for daughter in law then a .54 for youngest son!

GunnyMack

Doc, I think that example would look fantastic on a rack in the oval office!

GunnyMack

I knew a guy that shot an elk with a 30 carbine. WAY under gunned but it worked. Heck a 22lr will kill an elk, gotta get the bullet into the good stuff... I know a guy who did it. Within the 44s effective range, under 150 yards I wouldn't have any issues. Colorado law says 243/6mm is minimum bullet ...

Back in 16 when I bought my Polaris Ranger I got a 36" LED light bar, mounted it on the roof with a slight downward tilt- hitting the ground about 20 yds out. Switched independent of the anemic head lights. With the snow plow the head lights are next to useless. The light bar came with two 4&qu...
