Way to go! Lucky grampa!

You can beat $70 a box at several places. That's really steep! Check a list of sellers here: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=38-40+ammo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title I would shoot it, and see how it shoots before purchasing, or rebuil...

I hate the rain!!!!! But I love hunting, so when it rains I just throw on the old Grundens rainpants and coat.

Congratulations to the young hunter Ray! (and to Dad for raising him right too!)

I want Santa to bring me this one! (it does have a lever!)

Quite frankly I found myself spending less and less time here prior to the change of venue. I just plain didn't enjoy the forum as well as I used to. I passed up the political topics, but it was a major task to ferret through them. Now I find myself spending more time enjoying the posts, and getting...

Oh and a broadhead will kill further than 30yds

Oh I sure know they will, but since I don't archery hunt often enough, they wont hit anything past 30 yds in my hands!

I loaded for 7-8 years using Lee dippers, and not only do they work well, they are extremely consistent. I wouldn't reccommend using them for max loadings, but if you find a load on the chart that is a good accurate midrange load, the Lee dippers will serve you as well as any powder measure ever mad...

I know we've been piling up to criticize rost495 for cartridge choice, but given the size of deer he's after, I just wanted to make a couple observations... 1) My son is using a 75 grain broadhead on a carbon fiber arrow at maybe 268 fps to kill big old Indiana deer potentially weighing over 200 lb...

If you shorten the barrel and tube, be sure to shorten the tube from the rceiver end. That way you can keep the factory holes and end looking original.

I saw a box on a friend's table today at the gun show, but it was marked .43 reformado. $8.

marlinman93

I have a Drizabone oilskin duster, and it works well for just tramping around outdoors, but I haven't used it for anything but just walking around.

marlinman93

If I'm just in the mood to plink, I grab my old Model 39 Marlin standard rifle and a box of .22's. If I want something with a little more boom, I go with my old 1894 Marlin in .32-20 cal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/marlinguy/39-1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/marlinguy/94-...

marlinman93

Of course I was stuck at my tables, while jdad was running around finding the good stuff!

marlinman93

Good luck, but I'm with Terry. I'd never use the .32-20 for deer, unless I handloaded a heavy bullet, very hot. Even then it wouldn't be over 50 yds.

marlinman93

I've never seen it either, but I'd just cut it out and toss that section.

marlinman93

If you want it to be any good for gun stocks you need to get it cut into stock sized blanks. I've tried everything to save sections of tree trunks, and they will split when they dry naturally, if left whole. A small chinsaw mill is fine to cut it up, as you really don't care if it's perfectly smooth...

marlinman93

Like somehow a gun is more prone to go off because it's one type of action? And I suppose a single shot is apt to go full auto and empty itself with just one pull of the trigger!

marlinman93

It's wrong because it makes a gun look terrible! Plus it can cause the ejector rod housing to break free of the barrel. That's a tiny little screw holding the end of the housing, and it takes very little pressure to snap it off.

marlinman93

Don't you mean .45-70-500? A 100 would be a real plinker round!

marlinman93

I couldn't find them on Uberti's web site, so I'm uncertain if they still build them. Shop wants $299, and told me they would knock $20 off that if I wanted it. Looks like new.

marlinman93

I saw a used Uberti at my local gun shop today, and to my surprise it was in .22 Long Rifle. I can't find any info on them, and wondered if anyone had seen one before? It was cased, but had the brass triggerguard/backstrap.-Vall

marlinman93

I'd get one of these for $65. It's a copy of the Win. midrange sight, and was a high priced option on the 1892 Win., so would be right at home on your Puma.

I use Oxpho Blue a lot, but only the liquid, not the gel. I've reblued barrels, and even whole guns with it, and if properly prepped it will give you a beautiful finish, but as Steve mentioned, it's not as durable as a hot blue. It will give a finish on very old guns that looks closer to the origina...

Mongo had the Rem. Keene in Joe Kidd.

marlinman93

Good save!

marlinman93

Thanks 6pt for the kind words!

marlinman93

I've never owned an Uberti rifle, since I like old originals, but I've got several Uberti pistols and love them all. Never experienced any issues with soft screws or stuck screws in my pistols.

Bruce,
My friend has old eyes too, (don't we all?) and he's got a modern Burris rifle scope on his.

marlinman93

I'm really surprised at how many people hang them head down! Out west I can honestly say I've never seen a deer hanging in any camp head down. I personally never skin a deer hanging either. I simply spread out a blue plastic tarp, tie the deer to a tree, and pull the hide off with a rope tied to my ...

marlinman93

I used to do my own, but the older I get the less I want to fool with it. I take mine to a small husband-wife shop and let them do it now.

marlinman93

That's a great old '73 Heath! A very nice gun to own, with really great features! Don't see a lot of engraved '73's, and even less in a short rifle!

marlinman93

What coyotes will see is patterns and movement. If you're wearing an orange vest it is a large solid shape, and when you move even slightly it will be seen. The color doesn't matter, so if you break it up with a pattern or wear camo orange, then they wont get your outline as easily.

marlinman93

This is a perfect example of why you can't just buy a box of brand x factory ammo in a certain gr. bullet and expect it to hit where the last box of brand z hit. There's no two makers of ammo that use the same powder and charge, even if the bullets are the same weight. Always sight in with what you'...

Looks like a great bunch, and must be after all those years!
Our group remains at 3-4 people. My brother, nephew and I for every year, and occasionally a son in law, or two.

marlinman93

Great shooting young man! That gun looks good on you, better have dad get himself a new 1894!

I can't hear my watch ticking in either ear, but my wife says digital watches don't tick!

I don't believe in Karma. I do believe in the Lord, and doing good things for others.

My Cimmaron is a .32-20 with cased frame and blue. I'm not a fan of stainless myself, just doesn't look traditional.

marlinman93

Old pictures, too warm for wool here! Even a sweatshirt is too warm most the time!

marlinman93

I hang them the right way, head up!

How do you get all the chest cavity cleaned up with the head down? Do you hang them head down to clean, and then turn them back when you're done?

marlinman93

Not required by law in Oregon, but a smart thing to do anyway!

marlinman93

I have a good friend who bought one in .38-55. Not sure about others, but his bore is .380", which is right at SAAMI Specs. People these days seem to think that a .380" bore is oversized for a .38-55, but that's right where all my 7-8 .38-55 guns are, and right where they've always been fo...

marlinman93

I think you're close to correct. Isn't it still OK and legal to do a face to face sale of a SAA that's antique? (1898 or older)

marlinman93

Great bucks 6pt! Looks like you'll be set for winter for venison!

marlinman93

I think your choice of caliber is fine, but I'd get pretty close with a cast bullet load like that. Keep shots to 100 yds. or less, and practice a lot with the loads you work up before heading to the field to hunt.

marlinman93

With me it really depends on the sights. I've got guns that I wont use to over 100 yds. since the sights don't give me a good picture. I've also got some that I've taken out to 200 yds, and still kept the groups in a 4"-5" group. That's accurate enough that I didn't hesitate to take a good...

My wife got 22 one dollar silver certificates when she used to check at a grocery store. She thought they were neat so we've kept them for the last 35 years. We checked years ago to see what they were worth, and were told not much over face value. Still we hang onto them, but not sure why?

marlinman93

I hunt with lod Marlins that never did have a safety other than half cock. Wonder how all those guns were used without killing their owners! :wink: I personally don't wander around the field with one in the chamber. When I see an opportunity to shoot, I lever a round into the chamber, then lower the...
