It’s a Skinner sight and I have them on a number of Marlins. Fully adjustable and you never see the brass while lookin through the rear sight.

We have a winner!!!!

I didn’t think a .22 Hornet was a deer, elk and bear load!

Scott Tschirhart

I bought a steel door and frame for the interior door so I can put a deadbolt on that room.

Electricians are coming this morning.

Scott Tschirhart

Thank you. I wish I could take a better photo of the walnut. It’s really nice.

Scott Tschirhart

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this photo?

I suppose it depends on how it shoots. But it should cover a lot of uses for me. Should be a dandy armadillo gun.

Scott Tschirhart

Needs a saddle ring. But I have one.

Scott Tschirhart

Just the right size for a saddle gun!

Shootists 40th Anniversary gun just arrived.

Scott Tschirhart

Jim,

I can’t recall the writer who used a contender pistol like this. I don’t think it was Hal Swiggett.

Was it Sam Fadala?

Doing a lot of internet reading , Ivermectin shows promise with some types of cancer , wondering if anyone here has , or knows of real outcomes with its useage .? Thanks There was a fellow talking with Big Dave about this very thing at the Arkansas shoot a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know too much...

Scott Tschirhart

My father-in-law asked my wife about when I planned to move out there.

Walt, I appreciate you sharing those photographs. That’s kind of what I’m looking to do. No clutter and space for what I really want.

I attend a Bible Study each Sunday morning in a very non-permissive environment. I carry my everyday carry gun there and don’t ever worry about it.

However we were invited to a regular church service on Sunday and I generally stay shy of organized religion. A different environment to be sure.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve never owned one but I grew up reading about the cartridge in a TC Contender pistol and its use on varmints.

Now that we are beyond COVID the ammunition seems to be readily available.

What’s it good for?

Why would I want to ruin it with bookkeeping?

That’s a valid point.

Based upon Glen Fryxell's recommendation (the man who John Taffin says knows more about casting than anyone he's ever met) I use 50% beeswax, 50% Sta-lube automotive grease made up of moly, graphite and lithium, melted on a Coleman stove outside and poured into molds made of PVC tubing. It's the be...

I remember that Terry Murbach kept meticulous records and I know varmint hunters who keep track of every round. I’ve never done this but I think I know why. I was shooting a brand new Colt SAA today just to see where the sights were compared to the group. I had mixed results. See below. But I think ...

Scott Tschirhart

Happy Easter everyone. We have so much to celebrate!

Scott Tschirhart

Such bandoliers were very popular among Mexican bandits and freedom fighters. Can’t say I’ve seen anyone wearing a bandolier in over 40 years. That involved a photo shoot with John Bianchi.

Might need to make this a new fashion statement.

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t think I need that much horsepower for anything around here, but it was interesting nonetheless.

Big, heavy slugs at moderate velocities do very good things.

Scott Tschirhart

Easter Sunday is symbolic and will be celebrated by both the Eastern and Western churches on the same day this year.

I pray that nobody takes advantage of this to target people of faith.

I’m tempted to go unarmed, but that’s not probably a good idea.

Scott Tschirhart

I absolutely love this. I also built a metal cover over the back patio.

This morning I’m enjoying coffee and rain with a very muddy dog.

Scott Tschirhart

Electrician will come out this week and after that I’ll spray on some closed cell foam insulation. Thin I’ll panel it.

Scott Tschirhart

I remember you mentioning that Jim.

Scott Tschirhart

It gets awfully hot here in the summer and the garage even hotter. So I built a small garden shed in the back yard and I’m framing out part of it for my air conditioned loading room.

Scott Tschirhart

Weather was outstanding! Absolutely beautiful.

Sounds like a good plan. No pun intended.

Scott Tschirhart

I figure that killing snakes is a Biblical duty as a son of Adam.

Scott Tschirhart

I’m pretty sure it would serve well even in Alaska.

Particularly since a man can probably shoot it better.

The book I was referring to:

I clocked my deer killer load this weekend and that 270SAA is going a little over 930 fps.

No barn burner but it seems to be plenty.

Scott Tschirhart

I kept the factory hammer spring but replaced the bolt/trigger return spring with a wire spring from Wolff.

I stoned the engagement surfaces a little and the trigger is quite good now.

Scott Tschirhart

Texas buzzsaw

Scott Tschirhart

.30-40 Krag or .30-06.

Scott Tschirhart

We used it on a 94 in .357 to allow me to seat a 180 grain XTP in the bottom groove. We loaded the ammo pretty hot with a compressed charge of LilGun

Scott Tschirhart

Big heavy bullet at moderate velocity. https://youtu.be/KZKqBEehy5Y?si=a12oVfxoZNbH88L- Can't help but wonder how that'd work through the 40th Anniversary Marlins. I think it will chamber and shoot fine. But we would probably need to modify the mechanism a little to get it to feed. Not much though ...

Scott Tschirhart

Safe travels my friend. I’ll see you soon.

Big heavy bullet at moderate velocity.

I sure appreciate you my friend.

I’m sorry. I did not understand that you had already figured this out. I apologize.

Scott Tschirhart

A man could spend a lot of money trying to get a Single Six to shoot better and might end up where he started.

I think I would try several different brands of ammo if it was me. If no that didn’t work, I’d fire lap the bore and see what happens.

I think that’s right.

While I really would like a 20 twist, generally speaking my days of flinging heavy lead have for the most part come and gone. In the 44 Magnum 90% of my shooting is with 270gr cast bullets from an NOE mould, in the 45 Colt the RCBS 45-270SAA from an MP mould is what I use for general purposes, may ...

Scott Tschirhart

Wow! Look at all those beautiful people!

Scott Tschirhart

I have one and it feeds a 270 SAA bullet with no difficulty.

We are waiting on a new Ruger/Marlin 94 which will be chambered in .45 Colt that should be in production now. I’ll let you know.
