Jack, Can't wait! Let the fun begin and may the wind dissipate the fumes. (methane type) :D The Win. Model 63 .22 L.R., Win. Model 53 in 25-20, and the Marlin 1894 in 44-40 are good to go. Lots of extra ammo, along with a '95 in 30-40 for playing with the 1,000 gong on Friday. "The" Gunny ...

Fine job!. You will find, as time goes on, on how the different types of steel take to the rust blue. Humidity has a lot to do with how long you leave the acid on. I find 6-12 hours combined with the proper temps and humidity give the best look. Also, after you "cook" it, leave it alone fo...

There's just some things that look better dead..........foxes, crows, and rats. Good shootin' Nath.

Hey, Sixgun, As we've come to expect from you, that's a lovely Colt and a wonderful tale, and, yes, a typo, no doubt! But I'd keep digging to confirm that typo. For those not familiar with the Bustamonte piece referenced earlier, here is: http://www.shootingtimes.com/2011/01/03/handgun_reviews_st_b...

Thank you for all of your suggestions.

Especially with the possible tie to the Olympics this might be a job for the History Detectives. http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/submit-story/ At least you could see if they would be interested.

Well, I did find one misspelling of his name. When John Hession was at the 1908 Olympics, his name was spelled "Hessian". Getting close.

OK, you guys got me excited! Yes, I do shoot this gun from time to time. 6 grains of Unique with a 245 Keith. It has perfect mechanics, perfect tolerences, and a like new bore.

Well gents, first I'd like to say its been a terrible two weeks for me. My wife had me paint the entire interior of the house AND redo the hardwood floors. Whew! Glad thats over and thank the Good Lord (and modern technology) for one coat paint and a new product out called "Rejuvenator" fo...

When accuracy is that bad, its not little things like fouling, whatever. Like other have said, its your ammo........or.........your not "skeered" to shoot it, are you?

Sometimes with big guns, we all have the tendency to anticipate the recoil and will flinch.-----------Sixgun

Nice shotgun Nath, but an even nicer looking piece of horse flesh. Somethin' about horses, they are nosey and always seem to get themselves in the picture.

The RCBS 20 pounder is the best on the market within reasonably priced furnaces. The Lyman is good too, but I like the RCBS better. The cheapys are just that......cheap junk.....unless you do not cast a whole lot, but even then it pays to get quality. Over the past 40 years I have owned 2 Lyman 10 p...

Nothing personal, but I never let something as inconsequential as a few extra bucks take from my happiness.

Select a bullet which is a round nose flat point such as the Lyman 358665 which is a 158 gr.. A blunt round nose such as Lyman 358430 would work if you really want a 200 grain bullet. You will not be happy with any semi-wadcutter style bullet in a Marlin Model 94, they do not feed well because the ...

Thats a beauty, worth about 3 to 4X what you paid

And your wrong about two things. The Winchester buttpad is original and they ARE tackdrivers. The ones I've HAD shot no worse than any out-of-the-box boltgun.

I'll send my son right over to double your money.

Trail guns? Really depends on where your trailin'. You say there are only sightings of black bear?

opinions, opinions............... I personally think anything other than the .223 or the .308 is about worthless in the AR. Buts thats my opinion as the only thing I use 'em for is blasting and insurance for the "coming storm"-----------read, "play toys" :D . I really don't think...

Sixgun

As most have said here..overpriced. If you want an AR, the Colt m-4 is the way to go. (6940 or 6920) They run less than what you saw and will shoot better and with the quad rail system (6940) you have lots of areas to attach goodies.-----------Sixgun

I, too, use Lexol. The toughest-use leather I have at present is a heavy motorcycle jacket that I wear most days of the year. It's not an ancient jacket, however. The Lexol does not over-soften it, nor does it strip any finish in any way. The cleaner cleans it well, and the conditioner keeps it pli...

Okay, $800-1200 is range so far, that's a huge spread.Still pondering, but I guess $1300 is too much. Problem is, it's only the third one I've seen in 5 years. One NIB for $1900 and one with a scratch on receiver which I put a tang sight on and enjoy :D , for $750, and thought I got a good deal a f...

Thats a nice comment coming from a hillbilly redneck who don't know a levergun from a washing machine.

My opinion? For an NIB, maximum 8. There's a fair amount of nice originals out there for 12-15
