I have sold a mess of stuff here which included lots of reloading gear, componets, and a few very nice guns (well, the one Griff bought was OK, I guess). Anyway, as is my usual practice, I will ship the junk/guns as soon as I get their address and before the payment arrives. In the years I have been...

Mike D, (here we go getting sidetracked again :D ) That was interesting--a gunshow at a high school--and Kaliforn-i-a at that! As a young man, I remember the days when a gunsmith/gun dealer (or car mechanic) would take the time to do things that little money was made on. Nowadays, they want to be &q...

Sixgun

Oh wow!! This is really going to please the Hollywood crowd as I hear they are into all of that weird stuff. Now, they can add cow pi_s to their rooms full of whips and chains.

Hi guys, Did not think I would be missed, unusual sensation for me.I am in New Mexico, getting things in order. Made 1 trip to the hock shop and did not look for guns, I was looking at chainsaws for the mill, I will make a dedicated trip and report back to you. This part of N.M. usually has some go...

I paid 40 dollars for my first '86, a 22" barreled .40-82. :) Mike, When was that, in 1926? :D :D Ah come on, its a joke! :D I paid $400 for my first one, a 26" barreled 45-90 in 1974. It was about 3 weeks pay but the rifle was a nice one. Like I said, "was". Its the one that I ...

Yo Coyote, Yep, as Mike says, its gets better by about the tenth time. Well, I'm on the hundreths time as its still a bugger but................I did find when installing all those parts together, just install the ejector in the front of the bolt, then slowly ease it into the top of the receiver, al...

did a google and came up with this: http://www.victornet.com/cgi-bin/victor/productlist.html?subdepartments=Special+Thread+Taps:618,1170,1171 Hey, great! :D (and thank you :D ) They have the very hard to find tap for the rear aperature's of Lyman tang sights that I was looking for. (but obviously, ...

$400 is not too bad. It really depends on what part of the country you live in. Here in Pa., they are still somewhat plentiful but they will bring close to that. While visiting my son in Colorado, OM will bring 5 or more, depending on condition and whether or not, it comes with the original box. As ...

WinM71 has it right. very old cases and as I play this game a lot, my suggestion is to leave the balloon head cases alone. These were all originally loaded with mercuric primers and upon firing, the mercury and other junk gets impregnated in the brass. While they may look fine, even a mild load can ...

Okay, Sixgun, what's the story on the Yo-yo? :D I didn't know there were any of them so valuable they needed to be kept in a safe. :lol: Ok, the yo-yo, The story is a little strange. Two years ago, when my Dad died, I was in his house removing the firearms as he lived alone and I wanted them out of...

In my secondary "overflow" safe, which is a Liberty, I ripped out the interior, threw away all those stupid shelves, and built this. Its made out of simple oak (but you can use almost anything) and is fitted to just squeeze in the safe. Common sense will tell a man to put your seldom used ...

Sixgun

Kid, You have been holding out on us! Nice pieces! But................I believe they need a little powder residue on them. Oh BTW, I know its late but the discussion on the MRE's have been at full discussion. We are negotiating a deal on 2 pallets. More on that later in a PM----------------Sixgun

Sixgun

Wow, Thanks for letting me know. I'll be there!!! (dreaming) If I was any further away from Oregon, I'd be next to China :cry: :cry: But..................................The Timonium, Md. show is this weekend. Its a once a year gig with the finest dealers and their leverguns in the country. but........

Sixgun

Gunsmith, Mike D. and Longarm have pegged it out right and saved me a mess of time typing. The only thing I can add is how much of the original finish is remaining? barrel and mag blue? colors on the receiver, buttplate and forearm cap? wood to metal fit? sights? Case colors are very important on an...

Sixgun

Bruce, Tough loss my man. Most of us here have already experienced it and yes, not a day goes by without me thinking of my Dad. He was the reason why I am enjoying this great hobby today. He instilled it in me at an early age to which I will forever be eternally grateful. Life goes on and be gratefu...

Sixgun

Kirk, Yes, whoever did the resto, did a fine job. The colors are perfect. :D Very nice looking piece. Congrats!!!! If you think the Winchester game is addictive, well, buddy, you now have two serious addictions. No longer will Rugers (I know you live in Canada) nice old double action "Smiths an...

It does not cost a whole lot to get in the casting game. You can have a decent set-up for what an average used rifle is worth and thats a nice bottom pour furnace, sizer-lubricator, and a mould or two. You can always add on as time goes. Casting bullets is not rocket science. I do it and I learned j...

Doc,
Its not a one piece but a fine replacement stock from Treebone Stocks. It makes the 39 feel and weigh like a full sized gun.---------Sixgun

While I'm sure those Ruger leverguns are hardy creatures, they just never did anything for me. In fact, can anyone here remember any posts of those Rugers?------------------Sixgun

Sixgun

Thanks Jason, Looks like one of those babies are coming my way as soon as I sell some junk.--------------------Sixgun

Sixgun

Not here in Pa. I hope so because between primers and ammo, I'm probably over 100K.

The last I heard, we were still a free nation. If the weirdos in Hollywood can have rooms full of sex toys, I can have all the ammo I want

You guys are too nice. If one of those camps were in my neck of the woods, me and the boys would have some fun. (NO, I am not advocating violence) We would enter their camps and spray paint graffiti on their head wraps. Then we would upturn their portable johns. (if they use 'em--I hear they "l...

Jason,
I'm off the Jeep kick now.---------Lets talk about that Socom. Hows it shoot? Group decent? I have been considering one but am mixed between the regular M1A and the Socom. I hear the shorties don't shoot that great.----------Sixgun

Geoff, There's a reason why they say "ignorance is bliss". That boy with the 30-30 carbine shootin' a 31 knew nothing of the game or with the rifle. The more he knows about rifles, sight pictures, sights, trajectories, aiming points, loads........etc, the lower his scores will drop. My fir...

Jason, That Jeep needs some "work". A nice fo-doe (ebonics--four door :D ) like that needs 4" of suspension lift, 33"-35" tires, heavy duty front and rear bumbers, tire carrier, .410 gears, Atlas transfer case, Dana 44's, axle lockers..................................... Geo...

THAT is my idea of a most relaxing time spent. It really don't get any better. No boss, no "other half", your best buddy is there, solitude--no nosy or boring people to irk you, your Jeep :D , and last but not least, your "iron buddies" and their "food" :D -----------Si...

Good read! :D Most fears are attributed to being unknowledgable of the item in question.....and then jumping on the bandwagon with other unknowledgable idiots. This is worthy of printing out and sending it to your "Letters to The Editor". Change the words around a bit and then sign your na...

Sixgun

A great story with a happy ending.

You can almost put yourself back in 1897 and duplicating what those boys did back then.

Not disbelieving you, but we sure would like to see some pics of the great event.

Sixgun

Well, I learn somethin' new everyday. :D That was interesting and I burned it into what memory I have left, to be used in the future. :D (if that makes any sense) That required a bunch of patience and skill to make the job look professional, and that , you have done well. I have in the past, seen th...

Sixgun

Geoff, Good shootin'! A 34 is something to be might proud of. As for the guy with the 16" gun and the 37x40, well, in the levergun silhouette game, its the shooter, not the gun. :( :D . I keep telling myself that, but every match, I'm trying something different. You and I know that without shoo...

Sixgun

Not at Targetmaster! (It does help when you're factory direct & know the right people)

Although I took this picture several weeks ago, the stuff you see here is gone and has been replaced-----------Sixgun

Sixgun

Cooooolllll, Its snags like that, that make the gunshows worthwhile, even if it only happens 1 time out of 30.

Can I have it?

(same odds---if you ask everyone you see with a nice gun "can I have it?", about 1 in 30 will be in a good mood and say "sure")

--------Sixgun

Sixgun

Terry,
You 'da man! Sure has been boring without you around. Everyone is getting along and questions are being answered in a polite way.

We need some excitement so get back to work on the board and start stirring up the fecal matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----------Sixgun

Pop, Mike D. hit it right! (again :D ) The src's bring better money. Even if it has an older refinish, you got a good buy :D . The wood looks "right" with nice checkering. Colt Lightnings in rifle and revolver form have a reputation for being mechanically fragile, but the truth belongs to ...

Sixgun

Yep---Time flies............especially when your having fun

About a year before my Dad died, I asked him if it seemed like he lived a long time. (at the time, he was 78) He said, "It seems like yesterday that he was a kid".

Life is short------play hard

Well Tutt, I see you've been playing. Thats OK as the only difference between men and boys are the price of their toys. :D No, it ain't mine, but I'm pretending it is :( Its my sons (Sixgun Jr.) when I was out in Colorado visiting him. Its a Harley Ultra. He's a chip off the old block with his toys....

I have a Teamsters pension coming plus a 401K from the company I have worked for for 36 years. The Teamsters are thieves and the company's stock is hovering around .77 a share. I do not believe any of it will be there when I retire in 7 years. Bottom line is that the Teamsters and all corporations a...

Thats one Winchester model that has always eluded me. never could find a good shooter---either 98% that I could not afford or junk--------Good luck and like the rest of the boys have said, we are looking forward to pics and descriptions.-------------Sixgun

Stretch, Thank you! :D . The Scouts is a must for every American boy. Not only are valuable outdoor skills learned, morality, a skill that is lacking in schools, TV, and even some homes is still taught. I still use many of the skills I learned 40 years ago. (I need a refresher course on the morality...

The Lyman #2 for the 1894 or 1892 will most likely not be tall enough. You will have to get the Lyman #2 that is made for the 1886, which has a taller stem. If you have a nice rifle like that, it would pay to put the NEW windage adjustable Marbles tang sight on it. With that sight, you can interchan...

Business must be brisk with those boys at Cheyenne. Looks like about 85% of everything they have is "temp. out of stock"

Rusty, It sure is nice to see someone promoting the Scouts. Its been years since I was in the Scouts. I do remember there was a rifle range at every summer camp and "Marksmanship" was the only merit badge I accomplished. I often wondered how the Scouts are doing now and if they have digres...
