There have been lots of posts on this - sometimes the 'search' function doesn't find stuff though (especially if it is a 'caliber' or has a hyphen). Most of the posts seem to run along the lines of individual guns varying more than the type of rifling, even though the theory is micro-groove won't wo...

The Rossi iteration is a pile of junk... Mine shoot fine, and as far as 'fit and finish' - after I've had them a few weeks, they look 'used' anyway :oops: - I have mine for farm use, hunting, and just shooting, so I don't really care if there's cosmetic flaws. As far as functioning, they are as sli...

Terminal patients also don't usually like it when friends and relatives 'dance around' the issue of their imminent death. Not to dwell on it, but at least acknowledging it, is important to them - after all - it IS the biggest issue going on, and the reason everyone is suddenly visiting.

Well that is one advantage with receiver mounted peep sights, the sight base will prolly cover up most of those pesky scratches from broken tap extraction(s) and other "oooops issues". Here are a couple of pictures (I hope) of a Lyman on a Springfield. It will reach out and touch stuff a ...

See - this is a classic example of the Global Warming Crisis. You see, the record cold temperatures are actually evidence of a warmer climate.

Spitzer bullets really don't offer any advantage in the 218 Bee, especially when using the Marlin, as it is a 175-yard cartridge in that rifle. A good bolt action might stretch that to 200 yards. Bullets lighter than 50 grains will work best. It does seem that unless you're really needing that down...

But you can't tell that to someone who is convinced they have to have high velocity and tons of energy. I overheard a guy here in Indiana when they started the 'pistol caliber rifle' deer season, debating whether or not the .44 Mag would be 'enough for deer' so he elected to get a Handi-rifle in .5...

I am persuaded the hot-loading the Colt in longer barrel rifle makes the most sense... I mean, really, if one needs to hunt bigger critters than a hot 45LC will handle, he or she can always borrow a rifle. ...that's what .45-70's, .450 Marlins, and .444 Marlins are for...! A "guide gun" r...

Try taking a look at some of the Mojo sights . Replaces the rear sight with a peep and is a drop in, so no permanent modifications. Chris I have one on a 7.62 and it seems decent. Do you have one on a Mauser or '03? As far as 'collectibility' goes, mine are 'shooters' - or at least I'd like them to...

I'd shoot my old bolt guns more often if I could mount a Williams FP on them; I don't want to 'sporterize' them, but I just can't see the open sights they have. Anyone here use a Williams or similar after-market peep on those type guns? It looks like they'd be easy to install, but the Williams on-li...

I just wish the NRA 'got it' in the sense that they would oppose gun control on PRINCIPLE, rather than quibbling over the details, which as much as admits 'gun control' is a legitimate concept, which it isn't.

I haven't watched a football game on television since Purdue went to the Rose Bowl in the 1960's.

I could care less about a game where I ...

The trick to putting a 92 together is to place a fired case in the front of the bolt so that it is held by the extractor. This will hold the ejector spring compressed. This will then let you slide the bolt into the chamber and install the lever. Steve Young AKA Nate Kiowa Jones sells a CD on his si...

The safetys on the Marlins I don't mind - they are well made and positive, and there are several easy ways to disable them for those so inclined (that don't involve any permanent alteration of the gun - Slip-on O-rings, Spring retainer clips, and overtightening an internal screw all come to mind). T...

I've got a 1889 Marlin that I relined, so it's got a TJ's hammer forged liner and will easily handle hi speed ammo and jacketed bullets. I have a pitted-out .32-20 I intend to shoot for accuracy this spring, but if it isn't a decent shooter I thought about a liner; who did you have do the job? How ...

EABCO offers a 9mm Luger barrel for the Encore Rifle - I'd like to see what THAT round does from a 24" barrel with hot loads (surely nowhere near the .357 Mag, but interesting nonetheless).

Prayers up.

I'd urge those others out there who may dislike the health system (I share your feelings) to hold their nose and get a good, thorough physical each year. So much can be fixed so easily if we just can find out in the early phases.

I finally got .32-20-ized last year with modern guns. I'd had my great grandfather's original 1889, and although it is nice to shoot, the modern ones lack nothing. The lighter weight of the new ones is nice. The .32-20 seems like what a .38 special SHOULD be. I've shot mostly factory (wimpy) loads d...

We really need the .25-20 back, but and even BETTER option for us hand loaders is the Wincester .256 Magnum http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/256w.html . .357 mag brass is plentiful, cheap, and this can be loaded as a plinker or something pretty hot.

They make some one-gun pistol safes which have special 'backing plates' that allow you to secure the gun to your car interior, but working the combination allows you to move the safe off the plate if you want to mount it elsewhere. We don't do that, because we actually own two guns :o - so one stays...

No trigger time with that gun, but a couple comments based on other similar guns I've shot.
