I gave my Marlin 35 to my son, but one thing that interested me was that you could have one bullet mold and shoot those from 9mm, 38spcl, 357, and 35 Rem. I forget where I saw this, but someone, maybe Ranch Dog's forum, was doing this. I know, disappointing over-simplification, but Hey, that's my z...

Why are you having Winter temperatures, Jason? It's been s strange summer for sure. We've only had a few 90 degree days this year, but we have had unusual amount of violent weather. Seems like every week we get wind, hail and or heavy rains. We're coming up on what is usually a slow time of year fo...

I spent the day wishing I was shooting, only thing I was doing was cussing as I was taking my solar hot h2o tank apart, then as I came out of the basement I realized it was HOT in the house! Hmm, AC thermostat set at 70, 82° air coming out of the ducts. Well the condenser has krapped out!! Gotta wa...

Nice knife, Jason! I was thinking the same thing. Who is the maker/model of that knife? Thanks Guys! The knife is marked A.G. Russell. It is Chinese made, unfortunately, but I bought it for my 50th birthday and five years later it's holding up well. Surprisingly, the still have them in stock. https...

Sure Jason, rub it in!

That's a sweet little shooter!

Couldn't help it.

Altimont will run a few batches of overstock a month on Gunbroker. I think I picked these up for $25 or so.

They can be sneaky little guys. I was out walking the trail around my old place when one was tooling down the trail straight toward me. Yelled at it and it didn't miss a step. A couple of 9x18s from my E.G. Makarov ended the discussion. I was really happy I didn't have the dogs with me that morning!...

Nice! Those surprise shots are the best. I took a shot at a woodchuck years ago, that when I walked off the distance I had counted 430 steps. I had been shooting my Sako .222 a LOT in those days, but was still surprised when I saw the little pink mist when I hit the bugger. We had horses at the time...

Not much chance of getting bored around here. More of a case of stress relief. I need to take the .22s out more often. I had a plan to take them all out this summer and get them on paper, just for fun. Well, this is as far as I've gotten so far and it's already August!

Had a little time off for more medical stuff. Apts went quickly so I headed to the range for a bit. I recently bought a small collection from a guy to get the one I wanted, but in the mix were a Ruger MK II and MKIII. The MKII is a standard fixed sight in decent shape.

I have several, three of which are '03A3s. I have an Arisaka that was heavily worked over into a very light, accurate .257 Roberts and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 that was built out of parts with a Tikka barrel. I've been shooting the Mosin a lot lately. It's set up as a scout rifle and deadly accurate. My...

Dang, Jason. It seems to me that UPS is a little rougher on packages than the USPS lately. Hope you get that sight running. What a classic!

I bought a cool old sproterized Springfield 03A3 that I picked up at my dealer's today. Looks like UPS used it for a speed bump. When we opened the box, the rear sight fell on to the floor in three pieces. https://i.imgur.com/pdtmc4B.jpg I think it's a Lyman 48, but that's just from pictures around ...

I never really spent the time to find an accuracy load for my 10, I did find a few loads that shot good enough but boy how that Hirtenberger 150 surplus stuff shot! I should have bought a ton of it! That stuff is a bit HOT and it's hard on steel plates at 200. I still have a couple of battle packs ...

My AR10T doesn't care for 147s but my model 70 shoots them pretty well. But I've got 4,000 of them from back when it looked like the Witch was going to be elected so when I try different powders I try those first. I have some 165 and 168 grain Sierras down in the basement, going to try those next. ...

Only thing I shot yesterday was a nail gun, and not for groups! Jason, I put together a tote that holds my sandbags- it stays on my truck 365. Not that I shoot much during the winter but if I need sand for traction I always have it. That's the irritating part. I have one as well w/ my spotting scop...

Had the day off for a CT scan. I'd had such a severe allergic reaction to the dye the last time, I figured I wouldn't be getting anything else done today if it happened again.

Our Great Dane ruled the squirrel battlefield for the ten years she was with us.

She would snatch it from the ground, fling it i...

Some of my best days shooting have been with a vintage .22 LR and a brick of ammo. I have several that would fit into the '40s-'60s time frame. A Winchester 63 and a 75. Marlin 39 from the '50s. A couple of old Savage rifles, and several military trainers. My first rifle was (still have it) a Steven...

I've been wondering which would be better, the Rock Island 9mm/22 TCM conversion or the new Springfield Prodigy. Not trying to be rude or negative , but if it isn’t a 1911 platform in usually not intrested . Rock Island from all I’ve seen makes a good product for the amount of scheckels you have to...

Cool!

I shot up thousands of handloads in the '70s and '80s that my grandfather made in the '50s&60s. Most of them fired without issue, though the light loaded .45 ACPs taught me how to clear a jammed 1911 very quickly.

That one is in interesting little round. I'd been looking for one of the bold action carbines, then couldn't find one.

I think Doc AJ has one.

Just did a quick search on gunbroker and it looks like they've gotten some new stuff out. Going to have to look at this again.

2ndovc

Neat little revolvers. I have one of the blued ones that, along w/ the LCP .22 it spends a lot of time in my pocket while working outside around the yard.
The trigger on mine isn't the best either, but it's not terrible.

I was wondering if that would be a bottom eject action. Pretty cool. I stopped at a local shop this afternoon and fondled a PS90 again. Just couldn't do it. Besides, I'm kinda obsessed with the .308 ARs lately and I'd still like to have one of the H&K MR762s.

Alcohol related deaths per year on the US runs between 95,000 and 1.15 million. Approx. three million worldwide. That's one statistic they like to leave out of their argument.

I don’t know if I could do that again tomorrow. But I’m getting much better. Here’s the funny thing….I used to shoot these SAAs low and to the left. Now they tend to shoot to the sights.
