Yeah I like to carry my originals but I like that I don't have to worry about the Rossi. I like to hit the woods with a
38-40 but the 357 is just easy.
Guess I'm getting lazy..........or lazier.

OldWin

I wish I hadn't waited so long to get a 92 in .357. It is a ball to shoot and very easy to get good results from.

OldWin

Nothing sounds like an 86 shucking brass!

Good stuff Pitchy.

OldWin

I really like your spare parts field repair kit Pitchy. That's a great idea I may use.

More o' them cool beans!

OldWin

Haha! There's the beans.

My wife likes that old pic. Claims I ain't changed a bit.

OldWin

Slicker n' bacon grease on a linoleum floor!

Brought back a lot of winters past. We used to run around in the winter all the time when we was kids. Used to stay at my buddies grandfather's camp all the time and ran around with lanterns half the night. Here I am at the ripe old age of 17, packing an old .41 Blackhawk and my grandfather's old Hi...

OldWin

Those are awesome Pitchy! Gave me some good ideas. Never tried any night shooin' before. I like your toboggan setup. I got an old 8 footer in like new condition I could rig something up on. The seats are the best part. Nothing worse than a wet turd cutter when the weathers cold and the trail is long...

OldWin

I like that too. Be a neat rig in my locale.
I have the old straight grip, 2/3 mag with a 22"RB. Its a nice balance for a 45-70.
I'm thinking the short octagon barrel would balance out about even too.

OldWin

Thanks guys. It's -4 at 9am. Didn't notice the temp earlier as I was out. Been up since 10pm Thursday night, snowshoed all day Friday after work, and was up till 11:30 last night.........I'm getting WAY too old for that garbage! :) Borregos, It's been up an down here too. Weird. We had one day early...

OldWin

I got a pile of old 56 & 66 Lymans in service. They are a great sight and do make it easier on mature eyes.

OldWin

Hey Jerry, Haha yeah. It's the only Rossi I've owned. A buddy of mine had it and I just had to have it. Never had a .357 carbine before, and I gotta say, it's a ball. It's crazy accurate and easy to shoot. I been shooting 158gr RN Rainier plateds over 6.5gr Unique for plinking. Saves my lead for my ...

OldWin

Nice rifle Pitchy. The Ole 45-70 is a comforting feeling when your back in the boonies.

OldWin

Hey Jack, Man, you got a nice place bud. Nice to have "steaks on the hoof" right in the yard. :D Yeah, we are lucky to have a couple hundred acres to play on. WWG, Yeah, I like my K-frames for sure. Usually, I carry a Colt SAA and Winchester 38-40 92, but today just felt like a .357 day. I...

OldWin

Haha. The WWII Willys jeep with the old Browning .30 on the post in the rear bed.

Just playing with you Pitchy. If you start taking requests from us yahoo's, you'll never get any sleep!

OldWin

You too, my friend! Stay warm out there.

OldWin

Haha! Well take lots of pics bud!

Speaking of jeep.........I wonder if Pitchy could do an MB with a pintle 30 cal in the back?

OldWin

I've got one of the old '72 style, 22" straight grip 95's. It's a pretty serious rifle for the size and portability. I think it carries easier than my 71.

OldWin

It is haha. I almost took mine today but it just felt like a levergun day. Made the right choice. Nothing carries like a saddle carbine.

OldWin

Probably was, my friend.
Yeah I like his stuff too. He seems fairly straightforward. Too many tacticool wannabes on a lot of videos.

OldWin

I had to change the trigger in mine to hit anything offhand. They just don't steady down for me like an old Winchester carbine. The better trigger did help though. Little thing don't weigh nothin'.

OldWin

I think it was here I got it. I'd heard it years ago but hadn't for a long time.
I walked into my buddy's shop one day and he had a 1919A6 sitting on the floor. Ida loved to run a belt through that sucker but it belonged to someone I didn't know.

OldWin

Pitchy wrote:Might have to take the AR just put a red dot on it, love them red dots.

Yup. That's what I got sitting on mine.

Got a Leupold 1-4X on the 300BO upper though.

OldWin

Talent is talent, Pitchy. They look neat all together. You could put em in a box of sand in "dug in" fighting positions. Cool beans. Gotta love the BAR man!

I couldn't do that.

OldWin

That should take care of em Pitchy.......and me, running around with a puny .357.

OldWin

You're working on a pretty bad-Azz infantry squad Pitchy!
When it's too cold to get out and do anything, the imagination goes into overdrive.....or full auto.

OldWin

I noticed the same. Deer have to yard for the most part. The coyotes (ours are big) are able to stay on top with the crust. That's bad, bad. Usually it's in the spring when the snow gets meally that they reek havoc. Really should get out and try to shoot some. Good news is, it's legal to hunt em wit...

OldWin

Great fun with perfect snow, don`t get any better. We gotta get ours out one of these days when it warms up -30 this morn. Yeah, a good day in the woods makes winter palatable. It's gonna cool back off here tomorrow. Not -30 cool, but below zero. We got to -15 back before Christmas. I'm sure we wil...

OldWin

Got out of work this morning and thought it may be a good snowshoeing day. Man was I right. Get a day like this about every three years. Headed up to the lot to look around. There is about 2.5 feet of snow with a thin crust. Even with 9/30's I was only sinking about an inch and a half. An even 20 de...

You have fine taste my friend.

OldWin

Wife and I went out for the first time since 88. Over to the Elks club to a real hick hoedown, complete with Elvis impersonator, old drunk chick's staggering and falling on the dance floor........priceless. Whole thing looked like a reality show. Had a couple beers, wife had about half of a drink. P...

OldWin

Great news. I hope they bring em all back!

OldWin

Excellent!

I got a soft spot for helping kids out with shooting.
What you did was really great.

OldWin

I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't get it, and I've seen liner jobs and seen many damaged or worn crowns and repaired them. All it takes is the slightest wear or damage from a cleaning rod or impact at the muzzle to trash accuracy. A crown has to be perfect. You could counterbore the last b...

OldWin

Merry Christmas to all you guys.

We gathered round the tree and assembled AR lowers.

OldWin

Neat pictures Jack. He is definitely curious but I surely wouldn't let him in. I'm thinking the missus wouldn't be impressed once that little sucker flipped out in the house. :D I got this mental picture of Ole Six chasin' him around with an M1 carbine while the fox is chasing the dog. :lol: Then Ol...

OldWin

That's a really nice carbine Kirk. That's a lot of finish for a SRC. Most were used hard and often.

OldWin

Personally, that's the way I like an old Winchester to look. They are "comfortable". To me, finish wear means it was a good rifle, and was used for many years by someone who needed it. They weren't made to "collect", they were made to use. A rifle can be well cared for and still ...

OldWin

Oh. That's so bad.

OldWin

You got it Jack.

I called it as soon as Trump won. Told my buddies that the bottom will fall out. They will try to keep prices somewhat up through Christmas, but after the first of the year it's going to be prime buying time. The most drop will be in black guns and handguns.

OldWin

Nice Jay! Funny thing how most of use find more 38-40 rifles than 44-40 despite a huge higher percentage of 44's that were made. Either the 44 are being hoarded or most of them were worn out faster or shipped overseas. Thanks Jack, I figure it's a combination of collectors and use. I do have a 2/3 ...

OldWin

How'd we get from spam to cannibalism?
I'll never look at spam the same.........but I'll still eat it!
Hopefully they don't can spam in that part of the world.

OldWin

Haha haha!
Well, it's bad......but not as bad as it coulda been.

I learnt something today.
Thanks Sore Shoulder.......I think.

I like Spam. And what that means is I WILL survive the apocalypse.
Actually, if you like long pig you'd do better.

I've actually no clue what that is........but I'm pretty sheltered.

OldWin

Gas system choices for 300 are either carbine or pistol. Carbine is only used with 16" barrels and many are using pistol for 16" now. The biggest factor is port size. I think my 16" pistol gas uses an .086. Carbine gas with a 16" is fine if you will mostly run supers without a can.

OldWin

Sounds like a nice carbine Hawkeye. I've always had an easier time finding 38's. I have twice as many as I do 44's.
The 38-55 carbine on the left in the above picture has the gumwood stocks. Between that, the bigger bore, and the half mag, it's the lightest 94 I've ever used.

OldWin

Now Jack, I'd have no prob at all with that. My boys now, well.........You'd probably have to tussel with em a bit. :D But I'm thinking you got some stuff Cody would be more than happy to trade. :D In spite of lower production numbers, both the 38-55 and 38-40 were extremely popular in Maine. These ...

OldWin

My 300BO is a 16" pistol gas and I run a Colt H buffer. I've never had a failure of any kind but I've never tried that ammo. I run the factory Remington 120ot and Barnes 110gr. Tac-TX. The gas length shouldn't matter if you have the correct port size. Have you had that problem with any other am...

OldWin

Hey Jack,
Guess I forgot there were so few short mag carbines. They are fairly common up here. They sold quite a few like hondo's. Most have steel buttplates with straight serrations.
I have 2 half mag src's in 38-55. Bought both of them right in my town.

OldWin

Nice old eastern carbine, hondo. I have one much like it in 30wcf that's just under a million. It was the only rifle my dad owned when I was a kid.
