Well it did bring the price down. I would buy a barrel full at that price

44shooter

Alway thought the magnum was a longer faster WRF as well

44shooter

My dad had one briefly. Probably the roughest bolt action I have ever worked. He had to run the bolt back and forth with grinding compound to make it tolerable. A friend wanted it more so it went down the road. I personally wouldn’t give much at all for it. It’s not on the same level of quality as a...

Nice snag

44shooter

The Browning BAR was quite popular with hunters that run deer with dogs in eastern NC. My dad had a few over the years along with the Remington autos. He switched to bolt actions in the 80s. Seen other hunters make the switch too. I knew a hunter with a short Trac BAR years ago and it was downright ...

Glad you worked it out

I could see cheaper guns if they are utilitarian and are sold in high volume. This thing is too gimmicky, it’s not going to be a Wrangler, Glock, 870 Express, etc. I would rather pack a 5 shot 38 any day.

44shooter

Then try with a #4 buckshot? Honestly, if solvents and oils won’t let a brush or patch pick it up I don’t know if a soft lead slug will.

44shooter

Mossberg calls theirs Accuchoke. From what I have seen Mossberg and Remington have the most widely distributed extra barrels of them all. Try the big online stores. Modern barrels should go right on

44shooter

Pull a 22 bullet from a case and push it down the bore from the muzzle. It should pick up the end of the brass case and push it right out. OPS Will not the bullet be under case size that way? 22 s,l,lr bullets are same as od of the case. It should catch it. I would probably put a patch on a brush f...

44shooter

My very first shot with a firearm at seven years old was a H&R 20 gauge. The stock was too long and it kicked my skinny little bicep so hard I cried. I didn’t shoot again until it was shortened and the only with a lot of “pressure” from the old man. Once I did and peppered a half pint milk carto...

44shooter

So what do these things do that is bad?

44shooter

I would jump all over a quality custom fitted 20 double for $2000. I could probably sell my Huglu for half that and I can’t hit anything with that although it’s nice to look at

44shooter

I think it is much more well behaved in a rifle than a handgun but I was used to 30-06 bolt actions and the like before I got into 44. In handguns I was more used to 40, 357, 38, 45 auto. I still prefer to shoot something a bit less than magnum in the Rugers. The Marlin I can shoot comfortably quite...

44shooter

Small light carbine with a hard curved butt. Fairly stout loads. For perspective you are firing loads that are above 38-55 ballistics and getting into 375 Win territory in a carbine built for the likes of 44 WCF. Probably manageable for a while but over time that punch can build up. A pad will help ...

44shooter

I shot a snake through the head from underneath with a Daisy 922 long ago. It was lights out. That was a 22 pellet maybe shy of 600fps. That rifle would kill rabbits too but not enough for possums and such. I tend to leave snakes alone now unless they are in place that poses a danger. Then a bush ax...

44shooter

Never heard a 44 called a small caliber before. The point of the thread isn’t to use a marginal tool for a job, but recognizing that the often dismissed 44 rimfire had useful ballistics comparable or exceeding many current nonmagnum handgun rounds. Surely it is not a powerful rifle round even by sin...

44shooter

You can list it in the classifieds here. IMO you are lowballing yourself quite a bit at $10k.

44shooter

Looks a lot like a 2nd M&P model of 1905

44shooter

famous alaska bear tale. man went to the outhouse in a blizzard with his 38 in a shoulder holster. . and disappeared. . some years later, or months, IDK, a bear was killed or found dead with 4 or 5 38 cal bullets lodged in his face, or jaws, IDK. . it's a fact even if i can't remember the details. ...

Per Wikipedia, crossbolt safeties and CNC machining were implemented in 1992. Tang safeties came in 2003. American production ceased in 2006. Sintered receivers will tend to have a purple hue and likely freckled with rust.

44shooter

Those ballistics are about what a 10mm does in a pistol and about what standard 44 sp should do in a rifle. Certainly not a high powered rifle from the 1890s til now or even a buffalo rifle of its era, but pretty good to have on the farm or horse I would think.

44shooter

Safety would be closer to post 80s. I believe legacy’s are 21st century guns are maybe slightly before 2000.

44shooter

Most laboratory units are in metric. Such as mass per volume (concentration). Makes dilutions and computations more simple. I’m still used to everyday distance and weights the Imperial way. Volume I can go either way metric makes sense but you would have to change a lot of road signs

44shooter

https://youtu.be/zfh_7LQBwMM I have one of these that is marked on the barrel .44 Special but it is chambered for and fires .44 Magnum ammunition. My Uberti Russian top break is marked. 44 Russian and will chamber a .44 Special. They use the same cylinder. All of my .44 Russian reloading info (Accu...

44shooter

I rather search an odd noise with a handgun. I much rather have my 870 draped over the bed if I’m waiting for that noise to come to me. 33 cal shot at feet cannot is not comparable to 6 shot at 30 yards. I don’t like to hunt with buckshot though. I almost always would rather have a rifle except in a...

44shooter

My 92 year old grandmama has one as her only gun. I gave her some CCI velocitors for it back in the first ammo crunch of this century as it was the most powerful 22 ammo I had on hand. Hers is nickeled and kinda rough finish wise but mechanically sound. My dad had a nickel Sentinel that I shot a hug...

44shooter

Can you scratch it? Will a magnet stick?

44shooter

I was wondering since there are now two sizes of new model Blackhawk and Vaquero but since my Vaqueros are 44 mag they should be the same size as a SBH. The newer Vaqueros (smaller) seem to have more reachable hammers too

44shooter

Seeing it was a gift I would leave it as is. Scope it with what you like and shoot it for fun

44shooter

From what I understand based purely on reading and watching shows or videos as someone who has been interested in animal wildlife since I can remember and has a zoology bachelor’s degree, black bears are far more likely to naturally steer clear of humans than a grizzly or brown bear. That said black...

44shooter

Will these fit the original Vaqueros? The hammers are sticking pretty high up on my 44s. Those look a lot more ergonomic

44shooter

How about a fast twist 270 Win that can handle those heavy bullets for the new 6.8? 30-06 is always a sound versatile choice to have around. 6.5-06, 280 AI, 338-06, 9.3x62 would all be interesting to play with. 308 is fine too probably my favorite for hunting. I like it in shorter actions though. M7...

44shooter

I remember the Camp Carbine. Looked like a swollen model 795/995. Accounts seemed favorable but I’ve only seen a couple. The 40 would do fine I guess would be close to a full 10mm from a pistol

44shooter

I think the price is steep too but I’ve read a couple of articles with nice photos of course. It seems that Ruger treats this first model Marlin as a premium product taking heed of Remington’s bad start with the brand. The rifles are reported to be smooth with excellent fit and finish. Ruger also li...

44shooter

I’ve been considering getting the Ruger carbine in 40. Should be quite a wallop at across the yard ranges and I inherited both a Glock and a Ruger SR40 with multiple mags for each. The carbine can take either with a housing switch. Been waiting for a 45 version for 1911 mags but doesn’t look like Ru...

44shooter

Yeah kinda hard to get 38-40 to fit in my Firestar though. But I get what you mean. Truth is if you put 9 mm, 38, 357, 10mm, 44 Sp, and 45 auto in a blender with a caveat to fit double stack duty pistols and single stack subcompacts in 1990 you get the 40. Can’t say it’s my favorite but I do like it...

44shooter

A bear in one’s house is hardly the same as a bear in one’s backpack. Either way bears should leave us alone and not steal our food. The guy was justified. Sure he should have locked his door but things happen. The bear could easily break the door open any way. The bear was obviously way too comfort...

44shooter

TAC should be good too

44shooter

Out of those probably 3031 first, 4895 a decently close second, and RL 7 an out of breath trailing third.

I have Varget, RL15, and BLC2 for 308 but there are many excellent choices. 4064 and 748 come to mind

44shooter

I got an apartment with a friend I knew from the college dorms. One Sunday morning we were making breakfast and he asked which side of the toaster should the buttered side go towards. He didn’t know how to inflate tires either. If kids aren’t taught you can’t expect them to know as adults. Girls esp...

44shooter

If one delays in taking the appropriate, dutiful and trained response for fear of public or political criticism, he is more of a coward than one who fears grave injury which is completely natural. Surely everyone on scene was not a coward. Surely some were willing and wanting to open that door. The ...

44shooter

From what I have seen, there were conversations among officers that they should go in but we’re awaiting orders. I don’t understand why the school chief, or whatever he is supposed to be, did not see himself or assert himself as incident commander. I’m not sure I even believe him. I haven’t seen any...

Hornady, in their manuals, recommend their 265 and 300 grain bullets for deer and black bear at carbine velocities and 200 and 240 grain for smaller game

44shooter

Nice work on that holster!

44shooter

That ought to knock ‘em out the tree

44shooter

Yes, it makes the response look even worse

44shooter

Probably the biggest thing to know is that the Ridgeline has unibody construction whereas other trucks have a body on frame

44shooter

Theoretically your thoughts are sound that loading the two bullets to the same base depth would yield similar pressure. However things like bearing surface and jacket hardness affect pressure too. I doubt there is much difference in these bullets though but you need to work up loads for both indepen...

44shooter

Those have all the evidence of being factory rounds and no evidence of them being hand loaded. I would shoot them and not worry about it. As for the box, the rounds are probably just short enough for say the 30-30 size instead of the 243/308 size, so they used the smaller box. The 100 grain may have...
