PM me your address, Jim. I can drop some in the mail tomorrow.

Those rifles are a lot of fun, Bill. Half the fun is getting them to shoot to your satisfaction. I experimented quite a bit with my Taylors & Co. Uberti 1873 44-40 rifle, and settled on a fairly hard cast bullet from the mold I believe was designed by Mr Kort, and a substantial load of 2F Olde E...

TedH

Looks great!

TedH

I've got a Browning 71 that is due for some attention. Thanks for the reminder!

TedH

Well done, Nath! Some good eating there.

TedH

Funny how one little item you come across by pure happenstance can bring back so many memories from so long ago. As a preteen farm kid growing up in the mid 70's I was no stranger to shooting a gun very early on. I got my first BB gun around 6 or 7 years old. Countless sparrows fell prey to it, tryi...

TedH

Not this year. Maybe next year. Thank you, Sir!

TedH

We haven't yet had any winter weather to speak of. I wouldn't mind a nice 6 inch snowfall.

TedH

Happy Birthday Ji!

TedH

I also had one in 218 Bee, and in a moment of foolishness, I sold it to a fellow member here. At least it's in good hands I suppose.

TedH

Another vote for the Skinner rear sight. Even better would be to add their front sight, too. I find precise aiming is much easier with a square post.

TedH

Merry Christmas!

TedH

Nice to have you on board, Andy!

TedH

If the price is right I would buy it. You can always add the 375 later. You just don't come across a 356 very often.

TedH

Very nice, thank you for posting "before and after." How does it shoot? What load do you prefer. I just shoot various 158 gr cast loads. The small sights in combination with my eyes make precise shooting difficult for me. Grapefruit size groups at 25 yards are good enough for me with this...

Did you do the cerracoat yourself?

Yes, I've been slowly getting set up to do my own Cerakote projects and start taking on some side jobs. Still need a larger oven to let me do bigger items.

TedH

Thanks, everyone, for your prayers. My shoulder reconstruction went well. Surgeon said it was worse than he thought once he got in there, but he was happy with the results. A week after the surgery the pain and stiffness are becoming less, and I'm easing off the pain meds. There's a long road still ...

I picked up this old S&W 33-1 at a Pawn Shop a while back. It was in pretty rough shape with rusted areas, scratches, dings, etc. I cleaned it up initially and used a little cold blue to try and make it a little more presentable. Still looked pretty rough, so I recently stripped it down and gave...

The Harbor Freight powder is just poor quality for this application. It works ok if you use an electro static spray gun applicator, but not so much with the shake and bake method of application.

TedH

I had torn my biceps tendon off at the shoulder and completely split my labrum about 10 years ago (in my 50's). This was my first time being under since I had my tonsils out as a kid, so I know you're apprehension. It's over and done with quickly, then you have several months of recovery. It was a ...

What's the advantage of powder coating ... other than some cool color coding for testing. Does the powder coating suffice to replace normal tumble lube? Yes, the powder coat replaces the lube. Other advantages are less smoke, and a squeaky clean bore when you're done shooting. You can push hard lea...

TedH

I've been scarce around here for a while as life has been busy. It's about to slow down drastically. I'm having some reconstruction work done on my shoulder this week, and honestly, it's kind of freaking me out. I don't like being put out, and I'm worried about the end result and my ability to be ab...

TedH

Looks great Bill. I too learned the hard way with the Harbor Freight black.

TedH

I tend to prefer CCI over anything else due to their consistency. But these days if I needed primers I'd grab whatever I could.

On another note, the CCI small pistol magnum primers are the same primer as the CCI small rifle primer. Exact same primer in a different box.

TedH

Also known as the 30-40 Krag. Developed in the late 1890's. Used by the US military in the early 1900's.

TedH

Sorry Jay. We will be praying for your family's comfort.

TedH

Happy Birthday Rusty!

TedH

TedH

Happy Birthday, Riflemen!

TedH

I would bet every one of them pop without a hitch. I've been using a large stash of CCI primers an uncle gave me before he passed that are from the 50's and 60's. Every one has worked and I can't see any difference in performance or accuracy when comparing to new CCI primers that I've bought.

TedH

My shoulders have made me switch to a PSE crossbow.

TedH

Hi TedH, looks like way too much fun. I think I may need to try one. What kind of batteries does the scope and IR Illuminator use? Is this the one that will hookup to your phone via Bluetooth to record video? The scope takes 4 AA batteries. Regular alkaline batteries will only run it for a couple h...

TedH

Howdy, stranger! Hope all is well on your side of the pond.

TedH

Hides aren't worth much these days. You might get 10 bucks for one like this. Since this one was a big boy and had a beautiful coat, I took him to my taxidermist for a full body mount.

He was a big boy, 35 pounds. Thats about as big as they get around here.

TedH

Very nice!

My lovely wife was apparently tired of listening to me hint about wanting a night vision optic to help me reduce the very heavy coyote population we have, and got me a Sightmark Wraith for my birthday in February. Mounted on a 5.56 cal AR15, I found that it makes a formidable opponent for the local ...

TedH

Perfect!

TedH

Welcome!

TedH

Welcome aboard. What part of MO are you ? Boone county here. Hi. We're in the SW part of the state, 20-25 minutes from 3 different state lines. You should have a few bears down there. Been waiting to see one up here in the central part of the state. There's reports every now and then, but I've yet ...

TedH

Welcome aboard. What part of MO are you ? Boone county here.

According to the calendar, I'm 52. If you ask my wife, I'm 12.

TedH

Here's the BEST thing on your 1892.....it's probably had several thousand rounds out of it...maybe 15-20 thousand and I'd bet my entire Winchester collection that it will feed and shoot better than ANY Rossi that's new in the box. Absolutely. As you know, these have an entirely different feel and s...

TedH

Projectile weight? What kind of velocity is that capable of?

TedH

The most accurate statement you'll see today.

TedH

Amazing to have finally found it.

in your lap when leat expected

Brad

I was on the hunt for one. Probably paid more than I should have, but it'll only gain value.

TedH

Those are great, Jay! Are you printing directly on the boxes, or are those labels?
I would love to have some 38-40 boxes like that. I have a good printer, just not the knowledge.

TedH

Today, I picked up this Winchester 92 to partner with my Colt SAA. Both 38 W.C.F. It's a decent old rifle without a single Bubba'd screw head, wood still proud of the metal, and a bore that looks like it did 100 years ago. The right side of the wrist, for some reason, wears 2 small brass tacks. I pr...
