One of those has always been on my 'someday list' - if any of the local shops ever had them in stock to fondle, I doubt I'd get out of the store with one, but they never have them.

We just made a 'stencil' out of an old metal sign, and use it to spray the words directly on trees or whatever. When I was a kid, a neighbor would spray paint "No Trespassing" on the hood and doors of any automobiles he found on his property; I always thought that was kind of cool, but I'd...

Anyone who hasn't seen "Second-hand Lions" really should rent it or buy it (it is sometimes in the cheapie bin, since it's an old movie). Duvall at his finest. If you've seen the movie, you know why I posted it on this thread...

Well, sort of.... The weather was nice for a change, so we took a few minutes and went out back, and used the Ruger 96/22 to shoot at animal crackers. They make fun targets at about 10 yards, using a red dot scope. Set them in clumps of grass and go for a 'safari'! Fun with air rifles and pistols to...

Also remember that the common focus here is actually "leverguns" (hence the site's name) - and other than agreeing that those particular chunks of wood and metal are cool, we have lots of other very diverse backgrounds and opinions. AND we live in times when our government has come to thri...

WEAR GLASSES!!! You only get one set of eyes and they're not bulletproof (so to speak). If something happens, you get no do-overs. Wear glasses! 1. if you have soot on the case sides, that's a really good sign the underpressure phenomenon is what's happening. 2. since 'safety glasses' are often kin...

Don't count on it, out of your average jury, there's not always going to be one that smart.

One snag I have hit reassembling the rifle is getting the rear barrel band screw to catch the threads in the barrel band. I've heard these can be a real trial to get reinstalled so if anyone has a trick to get the screw started in the band threads, I'd sure like to hear it. Jim If the band is thick...

I doubt a .22LR slug coming down from a high arc would be very dangerous, Beg pardon, Sir :P ..... Many people are hurt and killed by .22s they didn't even hear go off. :P I stand corrected, then.

I guess step one would be to check with the landlord to make sure the locks were changed since the last people's arrest. I'd change them myself, and the same day provide two copies of all the keys (labeled as appropriate) to your landlord. Save the originals in a box to replace when you move out, a...

I have a NEF Handi rifle ordered in .17 HMR since the week before Christmas. I chose the .17 because I'm thinking the bullet will tend to come apart and disperse rather than going off into the next county. That makes sense; the lighter and faster and more fragile the bullet, the less likely it woul...

You know, the first thing that came to mind was a 10/22 in .22 mag. Plenty for coons, and they are nice handling rifles. This would work - it's just a regular 10/22, with a Bushnell Holosight, cheapie NCStar pistol laser (in front of the Holosight), and Meijer 3 watt LED flashlight in 30mm rings un...

Since all of my stuff is set up for grown-ups, the LOP was too long on everything I have. If you have (good excuse to get one) an AR-15 with a collapsable stock, just get a .22LR adapter for it ; it will be durable, cool looking, kid-proof (muzzle protected by flash suppressor, sights indestructabl...

If you're more interested in the performance of a .357 Maximum than the actual cartridge, and you want a carbine vs. a full-size rifle (in the latter case a .35 Remington would work), look at a .357 Bain & Davis, which you could do by re-barrelling an 1894 Marlin or probably any .44 Magnum lever...

Guinea hens are the noisiest birds around. Personally, I wouldn't have them. A dog or two would do in my book. Yes, but it is easier for bad guys or psycho alphabet agents to poison dogs or shoot them with suppressed firearms. It's better to be a little paranoid and prepared, than to live with your...

Make a plan of safety for each room fire and BGs. Escape and defense. Alone and as a couple. You should do this regardless of where you live. +1 I would call the local law enforcement and find out what they show about the place.

Doc, I noticed you must have had trouble with rust in your past. :D All that stainless! :D I appreciate a good 'blue' as much as the next guy, but it really irritates me when the combination of humidity, temperature, finger oils, and bad demons comes together and rusts a nicely blued rifle.

With you on most of those except the Desert Eagle. I have always wanted one, but after firing one once, I think someone would darn near have to give me it in order for me to get one. Well, Geez - just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean you don't "need" it...! :lol: Actually, I've fi...

More specifically, you can load the photos onto your computer (camera usually has a cable, or a card you can remove and plug in to a card reader), and put them in a folder for the task at hand.

It is my (not experienced) impression that low-pressure loads in rimmed cartridges, fired in the same gun, would last quite a long time (I've heard stories of 20 loadings or more), and that bottleneck, headspace-on-shoulder, high-pressure rounds may only reload 2-3 times before cracking, especially ...

AJMD429

They seem like they'd make nice powerful semiautomatic guns; the Desert Eagles have plenty of power, but are too bulky, and several 10mm's are out there not much bigger than 1911's. OTOH, for 'self-defense' use I think the .45 ACP and .44 Special class has very adequate one-shot-stop power, and very...

If you like the gun, you should read John Ross' "Unintended Consequences" - http://www.amazon.com/Unintended-Consequences-John-Ross/dp/1888118040 WOW! - Given the 'used' price, I guess someone important has decided not to allow this book to be available to the masses. A patient gave me a c...

To me, the TANG sights are just too fragile for most hunting or 'tactical' situations, although the 'nostalgia' factor can't be beat. I also like setups where you may have a scope, but can bring the tang sight into play by flipping it up if desired. Keep in mind that the Williams FP (and probably ot...

Another classic 'OT' post that enlightened me on a subect other than, but related somewhat to, leverguns. How boring our forum would be if it was all categorized and you didn't come across stuff like this. THANKS for the post, and THANKS to our 'fearless leaders' for keeping the forum as it is. 8)

Stores here are finally resupplying, and not at 'bad' prices - not great, but not 'scalping' either. .223 PMC $399/1,000 as an example. "AR" prices up a hundred or two vs. last summer, but that's supply and demand. Anyone with much sense saw it coming and already had theirs; they are $150 ...

33 years ago a gay black guy from Detroit bet me (a white hilljack from Klantown) $5 he knew a girl I'd like; it sounded like an easy way to get beer money, so I took him up on it (after making him promise it wasn't a MALE 'girl' :o ).

Seems to me that the bear thing kinda limits your choices. +1 I'd opt for a .357 in 3" or 4" or the .44 Special 5-shot in 3" or 4" (or a 1911 pattern .45 ACP) for 'most times' - but if you really think you might be approached by an angry BEAR, I'd switch to, or add along, anothe...
