O.S., I'm from the East and we have thick skin around here. Go ahead, Not much can pi&* me off---except, don't mess with my guns or insult my dogs.

Jerry, yep, I trashed the whole lot of Frankford arsenal, along with some other ballon head cases from the thirties-------------Sixgun

I find it's weak magazine spring pressure that causes the round to push down. I've had all major brand magazines do it. Yes, that combined with too strong of a recoil spring. The slide wants to come back to battery too fast and if the mag spring is not pushing up real strong, the slide will push th...

Its what I do with 99% of my free time----family,dogs, gunclub, gunshop, huntin'

I don't have time nor desire for anything else-----------Sixgun

Kid, Whats the matter with that? I prefer it that way. Thats all other people do anyway is ask stupid questions about your personal life or ask to borrow money. Besides, New Years Eve is "amature's night" for once a year drinkers. Its better to stay home and smoke some weed. :D I had a &qu...

Howdy guys, First, Happy New Year! :D Second, We need to keep things interesting around here :D Third, on to business: Last night, in anticipation of going to the gunclub today, I loaded up 5 rounds of 45 L. Colt with 40 grs. 3-F blackpowder behind a 255 gr. Lyman 454190 in very old Frankford Arsena...

I agree with M.M Wright on the soldering gun thing so you don't mess up the wood. Set your gun where both of your hands are free to apply the torque needed to loosen 'em. Heat, then a perfect fitting quality screwdriver with a fat handle---using your body weight, bear straight down, at a 90 degree a...

Gads, I must have a hundred or two I don't look at anymore. Maybe this winter, I'll dig through 'em and sell 'em for about what the postage is to send 'em.-------------Sixgun

I personally think the Model 71 is a classy, beautiful huntin' gun for big stuff----period....The Model 71 is one model that I don't take out to shoot 100 rounds out of--even light loads. The brass grows fast, is rather expensive and you have to shoot cast unless your a DuPont. Back in the nineties,...

While I understand your concern with dishonest people trying to pass off fake guns, I also know that if dishonest people are looking to be dishonest, they will figure it out. There are several posts about the process on the net. Not all that hard to find. There are also many different ways of doing...

I wish they would NOT have those warnings. It knocks down potential winners of the "Darwin Awards"--you know, the guy who went to pieces because he loaded his 30-06 with 60 grains of Bullseye. It helps to keep the "tarts"out and strengthens our gene pool :D Come on! Its tongue-in...

I got the real thing, except I am missing 1944 and 1946. Look to the upper right hand side of the pic. I have not bought the last several years (2007-on) because well, they don't interest me---------Sixgun

Sixgun

I know how to do it but I ain't tellin'. It will inspire financially motivated unscrupulous individuals to unfairly replicate the age of antique guns. I only do it when absolutely necessary and never to enhance value to a false degree. I did it last month on a very small section of an 1840 Springfie...

Sixgun

Well, for $600 who could holler too much about it? Not me. :) You know somethin'? I am amazed at that. I see guns sometimes that are priced at half or one third of what they are worth because of a problem with the wood---something like yours or a cut down stock. It ain't nothing to buy a junker (no...

Sixgun

Jacketed bullets?? I'm too cheap to buy 'em. Back in '72 when I started to load for the 30 WCF, I may have bought 3 or 4 boxes of 170 Sierra's. From there on and about 10,000 rounds later, its been a 175 gr. cast gas check out of several dozen 30's.-----------Sixgun

I kinda like it.

It sure was not done in 15 minutes.

Back in the early eighties I bought an 1886 with a Winchester Model 71 barrel on it. I shot the heck out of it. It shot great and feed excellently. I have no idea if or what work was done to it before I got it. I still have the barrel. I do not see any irregularities on it. I found a 45-90 barrel, i...

You got me --- i was expecting something for the front of a John Deere, Kubota, etc. :lol: Yea, me too :D Doc, Your too much into this "new technology" thing. I have had about 5 automatics over the years and they are all in the junkyard. I have 2 of these and they run like a charm. One is...

Nath,
Once again, a nice picture from a far away land.

Sure is somethin' on how you get Tia to look so intensely into the camera.---------Sixgun

Law Dawg,
She's a beauty!

Uberti sure has come a long way. The CCH looks real nice along with excellent wood to metal fit. You have a fine wife there.

In the first pic, they look like 45-90's and the other pics they look like 45-70's. My vote goes for the 45-70. Either way, there's way too much shine on them to be the 75+ years old as they are in the two part box. The rifle looks like it just came out a nice gunsafe. No rust, no pits---all Hollywo...

We got about 8" here in S.E.Pa. Not enough for the plant to shut down :( But that wind! 45 mph gusts really suck. And the temps! 20 degrees outside and just a tad better in the warehouse I work in. Cheap company I work for--they won't turn the heaters on until the soda starts to freeze.--------...

Sixgun

Nothing personal, but everything made after 64 (1952 in my opinion) are great guns but shooters only. I might break that opinion and include the 7-30 Waters, .356, and possibly the .307.--------Sixgun

After giving this more thought, I believe the best deterrent would be to leave a couple of hundred dollars on the front seat, blast the $1,000 stereo system and give the first idiot who tries to steal it a warning shot to the head with 00 buckshot. Leave his body near where you park your vehicle for...

Yea, most of us semi-old heads have been there and done that with the old hammer doubles. In my early days of CAS, I shot one in competition using up, don't know, maybe 5-800 rounds. Then I sold it to a guy who knows what he is doing with the blackpowder stuff, Griff :D Some years back I did have th...

Any type of photographic surveillance system is a waste of money in bad areas. (concerning common theft) The cops really don't care about your "stuff". Besides, if for some strange reason, a good photograph is taken, well, in my opinion, they all look the same. If the animals are going to ...

I would not buy either one but wait for something that really grabs you. The Ruger can be bought anytime at that price and I don't see a bargain on the Marlin either, unless it has a Zeiss scope on it. :wink: This is called "wisdom" that I am passing along. Many times in my gun buying care...

The nitre bluing of the screws really sets off a nice contrast.

As for the oversized throats, you would be amazed at what the Lyman 454424 sized .454 will do for your fat chambered gun. The large diameter front band really helps to true things up.---------------Sixgun

Larry came from the "old school" and did so much to enhance our handgun sport. Some years back I wrote his company a letter asking about a prototype Colt 45 Commander that his company converted to double action and found it's way into my hands. He did not write back---he looked up my numbe...

It don't matter---any conversion done by anybody on any Winchester, is just that--a conversion. Winchester never made that animal. If that was a special order item from New Haven, I would have seen 'em for sale. It may very well be a period conversion, that was probably done in numbers by an unknown...

Sixgun

The gun is a late model 1892 that someone converted. The "45 L.C." stamp where the caliber is usually marked is a later addition. Most likely a shot out 44-40. I probably have most every reference book on Winchesters and have never read of such a thing. There would be no reason for a speci...

Nice pics Law Dawg! I guess thats why they call this great nation, America the Beautiful.

Your hearing it from the horse's mouth who uses them, and lots of 'em :wink: The guys at Cast Boolits who badmouth NEI are usually guys who could not cast a good bullet with a 3 million dollar mould.

Very nice, Sixgun....especially the SRC. Any 86 SRC is a prize, one in that condition is exceptional. Thanks Mark, It is my "holy grail". And don't think I have not drooled on your deluxe '86-----A deluxe like yours is in my opinion, the classiest of classy. A buddy of mine has a deluxe 4...

Pretty nifty Griff :D When giving truck drivers their paperwork, I notice some of them have their computers mounted right in the middle, just past the shifter.

Thanks, Griff, that's the Browning 53 in 32-20 I picked up some time back. I hate the Browning epoxy finish so I removed it and put on a Tru-Oil one.
