2ndovc, I also respect everyone's right to believe as they choose, and I don't ever try to force anyone to believe the way I do. I don't appreciate it when people do it to me, so I try to be respectful also. If you are open minded and interested in learning, there are a couple of good videos on Netf...

I love the Bearcat, although it could do with some better sights. I think it's a dandy little carrying pistol. My uncle bought an extra cylinder for his and reamed it out to .22 mag, and another guy I know had Hamilton Bowen convert his to .32 H&R. If Ruger ever offered it from the factory in .3...

Last year I got a Ruger Vaquero that someone had used for Cowboy Action and had filed down the sight quite a bit. I sanded and reshaped the sight with JB Weld, and it's held up great so far.

I had a 1932 30-06 that I foolishly sold a while back. It wasn't much of a shooter, but I still wish I'd have kept it.

That Forney tornado touched down about 3 miles north of me. I must have been on the very southern edge of the storm, because I didn't hardly get anything here, just a little lightning and some rain. I hope Joe and the other guys in his area faired well.

Thanks John. After some further searching, I found some people on one of the 1911 forums that have had mixed experiences. Some have received their orders promptly, and some have had to wait for quite a while. Seems like the company is pretty small and gets backlogged from time to time. Makes me slee...

OI, I'll have to re-read your post and think on it some more, but it seems like a succinct summary of what went down. For me, though, it's important to note why Jesus' teachings are much simpler than traditional Jewish law. God gave the Jews the law, not as a means of attaining salvation, but to sho...

I bought some once fired .45 ACP brass from them over a month ago. No brass as of yet. All it says when I go to the track order page is that my payment has been received. No info on whether or not the package was shipped. I called the phone number and got a message, but a voicemail box that isn't ab...

Flatt & Scruggs is one of my favorite groups of all time. I love music, and listen to a mix of Country, Bluegrass, Rock, Western, and Texas Country nowadays. Bluegrass has and always will be my first love. I grew fond of it when my great grandpa used to sit and play the mandolin, fiddle, guitar ...

I'm a fan of Rugers, and I love my 5 1/2" Redhawk. That being said, if it didn't have tremendous sentimental value to me, I'd be looking to sell it and get the 4" version in .45 Colt. I know you didn't ask about .45 Colt, but I'm a big fan :wink: I have two .44 magnums. One is the Redhawk,...

shooter

I agree with Joe on the bullet. A 255 gr. Keith bullet over 9 gr. Unique is my go to load in my Rugers. I would not hesitate to use it for whatever purpose was needed if it was the only thing I had. I wouldn't necessarily want to go chasing after Grizz with it, but I have no doubt it could put one o...

shooter

I'm not kicking myself too bad. I could have grabbed the 94 for $300 by itself, but I'm not losing any sleep. I just wasn't willing nor do I need to spend that kind of money right now. If I thought it was the deal of a lifetime I would have grabbed them and scrimped in some other areas for a few wee...

Went to the gun show today to pass the time and get out of the house. Followed a guy in that was selling a Win 94, serial # in the 770,000 range in 30-30, and a Marlin 1893 in an unknown caliber. I think the Marlin may have been re-barreled as there were no markings, but it looked to be a small cali...

If you really feel bad about buying that Rossi, I'll gladly take it off your hands for what you payed for it

Seriously, though, that's a great deal. I wouldn't have passed it up either. Sounds like your local candy store has way better prices than any of mine.

I like the shorter length of pull. I'm not a small guy, and can handle a full size rifle just fine, but I'm quickly falling in love with my wife's new rifle. It's a youth model in 7mm-08. The length of pull is a couple of inches shorter than my full size .243, which reduces the overall length and ma...

I'm both a shooter and hunter. I tend to hunt quite a bit in the late fall/winter months with not much shooting in between hunting trips, although I usually shoot a bit for fun in between hunts or after I've harvested game. I generally pick up shooting again this time of year and try to get to the r...

shooter

That thing looks like fun even though I'm not crazy about heights. The only problem I see is that it would be hard to fly that thing and shoot pigs at the same time (recently legalized in TX). I would be real interested in a two seater version........

shooter

That's a tough one. I love all my guns, or I wouldn't keep them

I guess the two I shoot the most besides my .22's are my Marlin 1895G 45/70 and my 3 1/2" Ruger Old Model Vaquero in .45 Colt. I shoot the 22's most often for economical reasons, besides the fact that they are enjoyable.

I like this ammosmith site. They have a lot of useful info. The above is a video of them using the RCBS tool for depriming berdan cases. It looks like a lot of work, but is doable.

This topic has been touched on many times here, and you will get many differing opinions, but here's mine. I would start out with a Lee kit. That's what I did, and it has served me very well. It comes with everything but powder, dies, brass, and primers. I would recommend getting a nicer balance bea...

Cas, that bottom pic is exactly what I've got in mind. I love the Magpul furniture and the long sight radius. I saw the Bushmaster version and decided that was what I'm going to assemble. I think I'm gonna stick with the carbine length gas system though, just because I think it has become the most c...

I just got the same email.....

I feel your frustration. I was in a shop talking to a local gunsmith yesterday about shaving off the front sight and cutting a dovetail in one of my Vaqueros for a new front sight. The conversation was less than satisfying. There were actually 3 "gunsmiths" at this particular establishment...

OSOK, I like that setup. I'm in the process of building something similar. I need some shelves to go over my bench to hold some of the junk I have strewn all over the place right now.

I picked up a stripped lower this weekend to do my first build. I have recently discovered the "dissipator" version. I'd never seen it before, but I like the concept. Full length gas system and sight radius in a carbine length. Plus I think it looks cool. Are there any advantages besides t...

Added a few pics for those interested

shooter

I'm thinking of starting a build myself. Is a Spike's lower any different from the rest? From what I gather there are actually only 3 or so companies that make the lowers for everyone. I don't know if this is completely true or not. There are forged lowers, which are the cheaper ones, and billet lo...

Finally got around to getting two things I've been wanting for a while now. I bought my first custom knife - a damascus blade with fiddleback maple scales. I'll post a pic or two when I get the camera out tomorrow. It's a beautiful knife, and the maker I bought it from charged me about half of the g...

The Steyr scout is one of my favorite guns that I have ever had the pleasure to shoot. It's been a while, so I can't remember for sure, but I don't think it had iron sights on it. That is the one flaw I can find with it. I believe, as others have stated, that part of the definition of a good scout r...

It can take anything you care to hunt in North America with the right loads in the right gun. With that being said, it wouldn't be my first choice on Grizzlies, or perhaps even Moose, but I'm sure even on those gigantic animals it would get the job done with a well placed shot. Shot placement is key...

I'm really interested in one. I like that they take standard AR mags. I'm not sure I could bring myself to buy one over an AR-15 because of the cost and availability of parts and accessories. I'm talking about for a stuff hit the fan scenario. For general plinking and overall bumming around gun, I w...

I've handled the SR9C and my brother has a full size SR9. Well built and reliable from what I can tell. I don't like the trigger too much, but I'd buy one if I had the disposable income. The SR9c has a much shorter grip, but comes with 1 full size magazine with a grip extension on it to make the gri...

I'm no expert on banjo's, but I've messed with guitars and mandolins a bit. I would expect the banjo game to be about the same. For the price range you're looking in, you're not going to get a really good quality banjo. That being said, you don't need a good quality banjo to learn on. At that price ...

I'd trust my life with a Glock, but I just can't warm up to their looks or the way they feel in my hand, although the Gen 4's seem a bit more promising with the ergonomics. They feel much better in my hand, but I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet. If I have reliability issues with my new carry p...

I've been thinking the same thing. I've never had to worry about my weight before, as I have always had a physical job. Now that I have a little easier job and I'm not as active, I can definitely tell it around the midsection. I have resolved to start working out again and become a lot more flexible...

shooter

Caliber has been a tough choice for me. I went with 45 ACP because of stopping power, and because I'm kind of partial to the .45 caliber :wink: The disadvantage is lower magazine capacity. With 9mm one can just about double the capacity, but some are of the opinion that the 9mm is underpowered. A go...

I agree with that sentiment, though I am well under 50. I try to read from a book every day for at least 30 minutes.

Got hurt at work last Tuesday and have hardly been able to walk since. Several visits to the chiropractor and not much improvement.

A couple of things strike me as interesting in reading these articles. 1.

John, you make some good points there. I do believe there are a lot of good doctors that really do mean well and try to do a good job. They, however, don't know everything and often hardly give alternative medicine a second thought. Some refuse to even acknowledge it, and some are just not taught it...

I definitely don't choose powders based on how clean they burn, although I do prefer a cleaner powder.

I can hang onto it for you, keep it safe, give it attention, shoot it, etc. Then whenever you decide you can give it the love it deserves, I'll send it back to ya

Elmer, i believe (though don't know for sure), might have stayed with the 45 exclusively if he had the beefy modern guns like the Rugers or Freedom Arms with which to experiment. Up to a point there is no practical difference, but you can take a .45 Colt way beyond the capabilities of a .44 Special ...
