Colorado was/is .243 minimum. I remember the Tool Room Manager, Roger, at school put a single shot .50 bmg together and would sell $1 a pop for a chance to shoot it. One day one of the game wardens was at the school range and Roger asked him if he could use his rifle for elk and be legal. All the wa...

Both boxes SOLD.

John, look at the H&N line of pellets. I love their Baracuda Hunter Extreme in .177. The Grey rats don't get but a few yards before the grim reaper calls them home.
I REALLY want an Edgun Leshi 2 (edgunwest.com) in .25 but I just can't bring myself to spend $2000+ for an air rifle.

Sorry to hear this Jason, I'm no help but I also have a sister like that...

I had COVID twice, first time myself and the two guys I work with all got sick within hours of each other. We do not know where or who we were exposed by. The first time was pretty bad, we all had the lingering cough for 2 months. The second time I got it they didn't. I thought it was a sinus infect...

I was just visiting my neighbor friend, he has a 92 in 25-20 take down, I really need to talk him out of it!

That Cimarron is a good looking rig.

GunnyMack

Just wondering if the 'modeled after John Wayne's ' meant they were doing 44-40 or 38-40, I always hope more manufacturers would do more to resurrect the old -40 cartridges. Not that there is anything wrong with 45 Colt!

GunnyMack

Yes it is "SS" , no it has not seen wet/snow.

GunnyMack

What calibers are they going to offer?

GunnyMack

Can't help ya, I have a Hawkeye in 338 Federal that I bought in 07. Sighted it in, drove to CO and shot a big cow elk the first morning of the season. I haven't shot it since...

GunnyMack

I would check to see if the primers are not seated deep enough. If it's not an ammo problem then I'd check firing pin protrusion. Say .030- .050" . Now the next question, how many rounds has this gun seen? It's most likely in need of a deep cleaning. NO WD40 unless you have just come in from hu...

Maybe someday I'll have a chance to attend. Doubtful but I can dream...
Keeping that Gatlin gun going for 3 days, music to my ears!
It's great to see folks are opening their wallets to continue to support the Whittington Center.

GunnyMack

I can't say I have ever seen one in person. I've always thought the Martini would be quite a fun gun !
That one looks like it is in good shape, range report is needed.

GunnyMack

You can say that again Bill! I was walking down my driveway the other evening and I jumped a 2 yr old bear cub. It sauntered off then stopped and tried to get my wind. I started talking to it and moving towards it and off it went. Seems bear comfort zone is about 50 yards as I've not been able to wa...

While in school in CO I kept my 77/22 sited in at 100 and would shoot prairie dogs out to 200. Granted the factory barrel wasn't the most accurate. Here at 1000' ASL the air is much thicker than 6000+/-.

Unique is #34, universal is #35

I don't have to any unique but I have used Universal, but not enough to make an informed opinion about the two.

GunnyMack

is it time to make nitrocellulose GREAT again ? sounds like an opportunity for someone . . . You would think the US would have its own plant just to keep our military in powder. Just think about it, no nitrocellouse to feed our troops and no war fighting. I'm not a war monger by any stretch but com...

50:50 mix of mineral spirits and truoil. Dip your finger in the mix and work it into the grain like an oil rubbed finish. The goal is to fill the grain, you will know when it's filled when wet sanding with 400 grit wet/dry sand paper using your 50:50 mix as lubricant and you no longer see 'facets ' ...

Sounds like you are looking to move something big Doc?!

So yesterday afternoon the homeowner comes into the kitchen with a puzzled look. Leaves and comes back with the contract from cabinet company.
Yup the drawer fronts are WRONG! Supposed to be horizontal grain, not vertical!
It's not our problem, it's the cabinet company screw up.

GunnyMack

Much can be done with either machine. If I had had the capitol after school for a good lathe and a Bridgeport I would never leave the house except to go shoot new rifles and take chips to the scrap yard! Actually a lathe with a milling attachment would do fine in any shop. We had a horizontal mill f...

GunnyMack

That is a very nice stock, probably not many 94s like that!

GunnyMack

Major drool factor there Frank!
I bought this blank in school, set me back $190 then. I sat on it for about 6 months trying to decide what to put it on. Ultimately it became a 77/22 stock.

It is Claro walnut and fiddleback from tip to butt.

I used to shoot Remington 3200s for trap. One I had was a Competition Special model that had wood to die for! It had color, figure like no other factory gun. It was EXIBITION wood. When I was in gunsmith school we had a guy come do a summer class for competition shotguns, he was a 3200 guy and when ...

Good to know! I'll wander over to Graf's for a look-see.

I took a couple more pics today after completing the installation of the last cabinet.

I admit it I'm a sucker for pretty walnut. I've been known to drool some as well. So we started a kitchen job this morning. It's all natural finish black walnut. The cabinet company did I real nice job book matching doors and drawer faces but they didn't use the same veneers from doors to drawers, a...

GunnyMack

I missed the boat on the 96/44! The prices are crazy now.I should've bought one to go with my Deerstalker carbine. Only time in my life I dropped a brand new scope into rings, tightened it down and it was dead nuts at 50 yards! Shot a 1hole 3 shot group. I should have bought one each of the 96s, 77 ...

Now thats a pooch not to tangle with! :D He's got the attitude of a Grizzly. All 14 pounds of him. :D I don't have one of Evie yet. She's just a big 50# that's just having fun right now. We'll get there. She is becoming more aware of her surroundings and starting to become protective. jb 8) My JRT ...

The green chili is by Stokes, it's available on Amazon and I treat myself to a few cans per year.

GunnyMack

I'll second that Paladin!

Doc, so you can shoot a critter and cook it at the same time!

GunnyMack

Doc, you hit it square on the head!
I've said it before- the folks that keep us up and running here deserve our THANKS!

GunnyMack

That doesn't amount to squat there Bill BUT that's better than 2" at once in your neck of the woods! Ah, Raton- I remember it fondly! Jim if you get a chance to run to Trinidad try to get a tour of the gunsmithing department. Then check and see if Lee's BBQ is still in business. Man I miss thei...

Looks like parts of NM are getting some rain Bill!

GunnyMack

This was my Winnie, she would catch chipmunks. If they bit her she would crunch em up. If they just sat in her mouth they were safe, sopping wet but safe!

What are those grips? Micarta or laminate? I like the black look of them.

GunnyMack

Words just can't express this loss. I'm sorry.

GunnyMack

Yes available, I didn't get a chance to get to the owner- I was fighting with 2 plumbing leaks yesterday.

GunnyMack

Like OldWin said, it's rained almost every weekend here too. Last night another 1.83" by my rain gauge. More to come this morning as well. Our lakes are full, but they screw around with the reservoirs constantly, lowering to almost empty some years. The earthquake last April caused some wells t...

Looking at that data it's right there with the other powders as far as charge weight/ shot load/ velocities. I would say IF you can find it get some. I say IF because Alliant powders are not out there since COVID. I'm slowly going away from Alliant, sure I've got a few powders from them but since th...

Now that would be a really handy rig! I wasn't aware Ruger did the #3 in 44 mag.
