I'm not an LEO and carry my 1911 guns concealed. I use an Uncle Mikes mag pouch with the velcroed flap! Never lost a magazine.

That's the price at which Cubrock listed his rifle. I think it is fair for an NIB Browning 71.

This is a question with which I'm struggling. My wife and I are cheap. This is how we have prepped for our retirement (and get investments taxed twice... :evil: ) and we struggled with getting a cell phone (one). We finally got the cheapest Tracfone possible when we went on the big RV trip so that w...

Blaine,

All the terriers seem to be great breeds. I'm one of those people that prefers getting a bitch and having her spayed. Generally, her temperment will work better with mine than a male. Sort of the opposite of the human world...

Thanks, I wrote for a quote.

Man, I'm just so excited! As so often happens a thing isn't impossible to do but one has to hit on the technique to make it possible given the tools available. I knew that I could reform the .50-90 brass but hadn't hit on the technique necessary. As can be seen in the above pic, I can now reform the...

John Boy, I've got some of the Buffalo Arms brass which they've used to make up their ammo (I got one box, whew!). The .50 AK will cost me $.87 each before my time forming. The .50-90 is about $.95 a piece. The Jamison would have cost $1.12 each. Did Chaparral give a price? I can imagine with the Eu...

Joe, That's right. I always thought it was funny that Colt's .38 won out going to long and then the Special and then the Magnum but it was due to military service that it beat out the .38 S&W for ascendency. HOWEVER, the .32 S&W won for the .32 caliber becoming the .32 S&W Long or Colt N...

Ok, so using my concept of differential case lubrication I just produced a perfect .45-75 case from a trimmed .50-90 and did the same with one of the .43 Egyptian cases Ranch13 sent me. Those last are made up on .50-70 brass and I thought it should give us a good idea of case length issues. It isn't...

One either supports evil or opposes it. If they can't track illegal immigrants how they gonna keep up with my prostate exams?

You can't know your enemy if you aren't in the camp... I'm maintaining my eBay account but closed the PayPal. GearPay.com...

I was just watching a History Channel show on man-eating lions and noted that #1 - one fellow used a slightly modified #4 in .303 British to kill a 3 year old man-eater with 2 shots. #2 - somebody used an 1895 Winchester to kill an elephant. Had photos but saw no reference to loads.

If you get an 1873 you aren't concerned about velocity. Factory standard pressure loads won't get more than about 1100 fps.

I've come full circle and back to wood. I had Pachmayrs on most everything but have gotten it off. BTW, I've got some good condition used Pachmayr grips available for good prices...

I'm also going to take a serious look at 50-70 cases. Only problem is that they are more expensive than 50 AK. A lot of people aren't going to want to mess with long trimming sessions and the 50-70 would solve that. Also, a lot of bullets won't crimp in their designed groove with a 1.88 case though...

That's like the "best" one I have, but mine doesn't have a name, only stamped 1/8"-5/8". I learned the hard way (when I misplaced my "good" one) to avoid the ones that use a "V" block instead of rollers. Both should be available at you local Lowe's or Home De...

"Just get through it" seems to be a mantra a state run events, doesn't it?

I can't find a tubing cutter I like. Got a photo or source for same?

Good to have you back. Please, pass on our heartfelt thanks to your nephew.

Good to see you 20cows... AND with the correct answer.

Rusty, is somebody trying to explain away a felony conviction to get a gun from you? When in doubt, don't do it.

Ji,

You have our best wishes in whatever career you pursue now.

Good post...Using heavier than normal bullets on Elk & Moose has made sense since Bert Riggall (the great Rodky Mtn. guide) began using them on same. Sam Fadala got the 30 WCF itch after reading H.V. Stents article in the 1980 Gun Digest-already a fan, I just got crazy with the experiments.. Wh...

I didn't get good results just lubing on the pad so I tried spray lube (forgot I even had the stuff). That was fine for making it go in and out of the die but got lube dents. I think it needs to be annealed and/or differentially lubed, i.e. lots a lube on the bottom half of the case, regular on the ...

Mike, Just wrote them again. Squeaky wheel and all that. However, I'm putting in an order for 250 .50 AK cases for reforming. I can't wait to build up using stocks of this cartridge! Oh, and my Buffalo Arms ammo came into today (did I already post that). They use reformed .348 brass and I've not IDe...

You must not read the posts by the .45-75 crowd. I've got some of that info here on my blog . To summarize, there's Bertram and Jamison and reforming/reformed .348 Winchester brass. If you find any, get it. Jamison will NOT be making more for at least 6 months due to defense contracts. Starline does...

It is a rifle as well. She also wields a pair of kukris. That just about does it for my interest in the movie...

I have hunted squirrels with airgun (.177, .22 and .20) shotgun (cartridge every gauge, cap lock and flintlock), muzzleloading rifle (.36, .45 and .54), cartridge rifle (.22 LR, .22 WRF, .30-30 loaded down), handgun (.22 LR, .22 WMRF, .38 Spec), and bow (blunts and Judo point). I don't know of a bad...

I will also say that Steve is a good fella with whom to deal based on personal experience.

That is exactly right and that's my point.

On the really cheap? I'd look for a beat up earlier Ruger M77 in .308 or .243 and rebarrel. Milsurp actions aren't the cheap options they once were. Other makers' guns seem to ask more on the market, at least around here.

I'm glad somebody who appreciates it bought it. It does look good!

We're on the cusp at the state level due to Dem domination of cities. Local level doesn't matter due to pre-emption. National matters and you might be right, we might be headed down the shredder chute.

Rebates on ammo and guns (no levers). I think they are seeing decreases in purchases due to recent price increases.

OI, don't believe everything you read on the Internet. We Dems didn't win both houses of congress without a lot of Bubbas voting Democrat. Junior, We discussed this a bit back about 6 months or so ago. This is the way of the DNC and it is continuing. The big cities can win elections and the country...

Or like this one...

So, you know the owner missed it, too!

I love my Model 8. This was the 81 before pistol grips (well, mostly, some 8s had them) and the .300 Savage chambering. There are not many other differences.

They tell you how they score it. Looks on the up and up to me. I got Tancredo and Thompson in a tie for me at 93.1%. I'd like to see Junior's results.

That will tell the tale.

93.1% for both Tancredo and Thompson which pretty much agrees with my personal assessment. 24.14% with Clinton. THAT surprised me. Can't imagine about what it is that we actually agree.

Junior, would you take the test as a control? I'm not being funny, I'd like to see exactly how you score.

There are a couple on Gunbroker. They were never plentiful. I'm going to have to pass on this one.

I've shot off the Shootin' Stix and they are very nice. I've even made up sticks using fiberglass electric fence poles painted camo and some 550 cord. However, the Harris, while effective, is cumbersome for my guns which are almost all relatively short and light.

Probably a dumb question but have you tried The Swedish Firearms Forum? http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/forum/view/id/82 Could rifle wood be adapted to the carbine? Not such a dumb question... :lol: Thanks for the link. I think Joe might notice if I join another forum... :wink:...

I've seen about 35 deer in the last two days/evenings. I'm getting the fever. Yep, even saw a grouse/partridge 3 days ago!

Whether it is CindyLea or Scootter actually posting, welcome!

If you didn't hear an officer of the GOA actually say it, it might not even have been said by them. Sounds like a disinformation act to me.

If the chamber is empty, you don't need the safety at all IFF you load only just before you shoot. Many use traditional leverguns in just that way. Somebody injured by a ND and it is because the bearer was pointing the weapon in the wrong direction. The biggest safety is the guy holding the gun. I d...

Thanks for the bump! What it is is that I could buy a M94 for $180 but it needs the stock and all the iron forward of the receiver. It has the original sights. I had another in my hands Saturday but Carl isn't letting that one go! Carl is a vet of WWII and Korea and a hoot of a collector/accumulator.

MTM makes a similar box.

At least the person who was robbed got his property back... The pawn shop too will suffer. Slightly related. Our local pawn shop has a big sign on the door "Don't bring us stolen items". Directly underneath are two signs, "Convicted" and "Indicted" and below each sign a...

You had a better time than I! Much better, I was at "work".
