Or Black Shadow.... Well, the local pawn shop had a nice Win M94 Black Shadow chambered in 44 Mag on the rack - $399. I waited and did the usual detective work and found out that the relatively few of these were made and that they are worth quite a bit more than $400 in VG condition. So..... I boug...

Good stuff. I have a #1 shot mold and am gonna reformat a couple cans of 00 when
I get around to it.

You can get decent fir. #1 constr grade is strong. I built a bench of fir once for my Dad. 4x4 legs assembled with mortises just like a trestle table. The top was 2x4 on edge and bolted together. Whole thing disassembled for transportation and storage. Very stout. And much stronger than the design i...

Good job Ji I've got mine on a short stick in my gun box, and various long staffs for mood changes. Problem here is that it's illegal to carry a fixed blade knife. Don't know if that applies to hiking in the parks and forests. I can carry hand guns loaded with any load I like and any quantity of am...

Hey Ji That's how I deal with spiders. Why waste good lead when a big chunk of air obliterates them? Roaches are armored tho...... probably need the ammo can. back in the early NYC days I camped in an apt in Harlem that had metal kitchen cabinets with rolled edges. Roaches lived in there until I sho...

Grizz

Mike, that's good info. what brand of slugs and what load? Grizz Generally, bows do not kill by shock. They kill by blood loss. Round balls from muzzleloaders seem to perform better than they should. But they are not bone crushers that you would need to break down a brown bear. They are great double...

At the risk of disappointing Joe, here's some more reading. Starting with Hubel's fabulous work: http://shootersforum.com/shotguns-shotgunning-shotshell-reloading/26647-12ga-fh-testing-james-terminator-slugs.html a source of hard cast shotgun ammo: http://www.dixieslugs.com/products.html and last, b...

Grizz

I definitely think a 20 can do it. I have one and like it, but I decided to standardize on 12s because the ammo is crazy cheap and available.

I like the 454 idea too. Lots of possible variations.

Grizz

One detail I didn't see mentioned is the hardness and shape of the shotgun slug. Some of them are soft and deform readily in game, disintegrating. Some of them have less than efficient nose shapes and meplats. Some of them are the equivalent of our hard cast bullets, or turned solids even. These wil...

Grizz

Thanks for that link.

Here's a picture of the slug bit we recovered. It weighs 0.4 oz for a 60% weight loss. From this I gather I should not be using soft lead to stop stainless steel disks traveling toward me at 1600 fps. The most interesting thing to me is that the pattern of stress cracks in the steel is molded into t...

Picked up a shooter friend and took the Marlin 39 Century LTD, (sounds like a detroit car), with some other stuff to the multi-use recreational national forest today. Some will remember that I had installed a bullseye rear sight on the Marlin. We got some good gong time in. Got bored so moved back a...

Really beautiful gun. What's the twist rate?

the '92 is one of those "everything's right" designs. High class.

I have a hard cast 225 lead bullet that I load to ball velocity. I forget the specifics. I prefer that for 45 outdoors. In WA land I think it's probably effective enough. In SE Alaska I prefer my Redhawk with heavy metal. But I might carry the XD for an extra sidearm. And of course the ever present ...

I have an ACP load that required upping the weight of the mainspring to 21# and adding a buffer to keep the frame from being battered to death... but it was the only ACP load I'd carry in the Alaskan Bush. I'll try to dig it out... I'm interested in an Alaska load also. I wonder how it'd do in an X...

Grizz

I hope I didn't offend anyone here with my comments about the safeties and the rebounding hammers or the AE. It's not that I think those things will make a gun shoot bad. My .357 Trapper with the cross bolt safety shot very well indeed. Still, I've recently decided to collect the pre-AE, pre-safety...

Grizz

well now, I have a Winch .357 Ranger, also trapper length with the aforementioned "safety" and rebounding hammer. I can't bear to part with it because it doesn't miss. So far it likes everything I've fed it and it gives my 185gr cast load over 1700 fps. It hits the same 100 yd gong with th...

What's the price range for a Browning Model 92 in .44 mag these days? the action is in nearly new and relatively unfired condition, based on the lockup and draglines on the hammer. there is great metal finish but for one small spot of rust on the receiver. no fingerprints etched into the bluing or a...

Massad Ayoob weigh in from Backwoods Home Magazine, this is his take on shotguns: Consider a modern shotgun like Dave Duffy's Remington 870, mounted with a SureFire fore-end which encompasses a powerful white light. Some traditionalists would consider it "tacti-cool," but it makes huge sen...

four rounds of 00 Buck center mass into a bad guy

this is why center mass is a hunting shot, not a defense shot.

a face full of 00 will produce quicker results, aim for the throat, bye bye.

the 12ga for sure with reduced recoil loads something like 00 then put a laser sight on it like this one: http://www.jgsales.com/laser-sight-for-remington-870-shotguns,-by-fm-p-1767.html this makes the gun a hip shot proposition, and takes the worry out of missing. home invasions in my local newspap...

welcome to the association of levergun enablers

good start

consider the ancient 45/70
you'll get a kick out of them

Thanks Jerry

I added it to the list. Hopefully the tack shop will carry the right stuff.

Some time back I seem to recall someone here having an old leather item they had and someone here on the forum suggested olive oil. You might do a search on olive oil and see if it fits your problem. Rusty I have checked that out and got scathing criticisms because it doesn't do the good thing to l...

What would you use to restore and preserve old old leather? I have a mail bag from long long ago, and a pony-express type saddle bag. They are seriously dry and in need of some TLC. I would prefer something I could get in Juneau, but would buy something here if necessary. There is a tack shop up the...

leaving 0'Dark-thirty sat morning and can't wait.

I'll highgrade some pictures and post 'em up when I get back.

well, I get to go home to SE AK for a while. I am so excited. Meeting my son and his family for some rehabilitation at the old spawning grounds. get to warm them up with the wood stove and grill stuff and catch stuff and maybe, who knows, make venison again. And if timing goes really right I might b...

see you and hear you, if you have adobe flash installed with the mic and cam enabled.

a hacker's dream. if I were more ambitious I'd log it with a sniffer just for giggles. but a decent hacker can bypass the sniffer too.

I shut it off like this:

Glad you made it out of that one.

Good story. That's funny right there.

Any time you drop the hammer on a 4570 it's a good time.

Oh yeah, did you miss the post-it note about PICTURES ??

I'm late to the thread Grizz but thanks for your efforts. Good on ya. 395 is a great route to take. My town is at the intersection of U.S. 395 and CA 299. Oh Yeah. Got gas there.

Prayers UP Blaine

I know you will be better off.

You could guide dudes down the river. Take them out after the wily salmons.
Hunt the river banks for the wily venisons. Or go commercial fishing in Alaska.

Among other things.

Whatever you do you will do well.

in WA-land shooting a fleeing dirtbag in the back is an invitation to judicial rape. I was glad to see his enthusiasm, but think he would have been more effective doing an ad hoc dental job on those abcesses.

pretty inert stuff. I wonder if there are any metals that could hold an edge like that.

Yup, it's Oregon obsidian. Thanks for the responses. Very interesting topic. How did the early users carry them? Probably not in a neck sheath. I suppose all those details are gone.
