Holy socks Batman!!!

550.00 for ANY 71 is a Steal!!!

Git on it!!!!!

Wow!

I've seen that face before

My last place I planted about 900 trees. Mostly pines. The danged rabbits ate hundreds down to nubs.

I beheaded a bunch with my Martini but my lab got the rest

Good Dog!!

Gary,

No. BP Guns can be bought w/o license.
You can still buy them off the shelves at Wally world and other box stores.

Cool question! Ok. I can just imagine walking into one of those old western storefronts with enough hard earned dollars and have my choice of what's in the racks. Skip the Marlins and Savages. I like the 30-40 Krag that's been worked over and a peep sight added. Cheap too. That old '85 Highwall in ....

Sorry Ted.

Nath.

The 70 Gr lead RN Gas checks work great on our woodchucks. A big one runs about twenty pounds Plus. Been loading
the same bullet in my .25-20 Cadet rifle. Have only punched paper with that one so far.

Was cleaning some stuff I haven't had out in a while.. My Dad's father was a dedicated Bolt Gun guy and really into custom lightweights. One of his favorites was a Japanes Arisaka that was sporterized and rechambered to .257 Roberts. She sports an 18 1/2" Barrel, new trigger and guard assembly,...

I've put 5000+ rounds through my G19 with one faiure to eject and I'm pretty sure that was my fault. I was shooting it weak hand lying on the ground and "limp wristed it"

Great pistols. I have the 19 and a 26. Still need a 17 to round out the collection.

jb

2ndovc

OK,

I give. Where is that?

jb

2ndovc

Could never warm up to the .270 either.

The .243 is another one I never understood the hype. Especially since I have a 250-3000 and 257 Roberts.

We got about 9" out of that that one. My lab and Great Dane were having fun. My boxer mix wants nothing to do with the snow. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/2ndovc/100_3955.jpg Gonna have to dig my Co. truck out. I keep bugging the Boss for a 4X4. :D http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

It's not doing anybody any good in the safe!!

Nice looking .22! I went to a little show here in Northern OH yesterday. The usual 15 minute drive took almost an hour. Think we ended up with about eight inches of snow. There was a nicely re-done Win. Low wall .22 lr on an old fellow's table that I probably would have bought had I sold the guns I ...

I've been wanting a stainless lever.

I like it. 35 Rem would be cool too!

Check out http://www.sdmfabricating.com,

Scott Mulkerin is a super pistol smith that can do wonders with a 1911. I've known Scott for 12-15 years and he's a real craftsman.
All he does is 1911s and S&W revolvers. He's done work on several of my guns and am Never dissapointed.

I haven't had it done yet but it's coming. It seems like it's getting worse by the day and If I take one of my hard kicking rifles out it hurts for a week. Getting to the point that the pain wakes me up at night more often than not. I guess that's what I get. Dislocated twice plus back when I was on...

2ndovc

Goose,

That's Great!! I'd love'd to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. How Neat!

And how cool is it at a lady owned an '86 and put it to good use!

Thanks!!! This has been a fun post!

We are just caretakers of fine arms. Too bad they all can't talk!

jb

2ndovc

I bought one about a year ago. Don't know why I waited so long.

I like the older ones too. Those big fat stocks fit me just right.

GO git one!!!

Hoping for the best!

2ndovc, After reading your post I got to thinking. If I remembered correctly I had once found a note much like yours. I bought a 1886 Winchester in 33WCF about 20 years ago. It has the full mag. and a cressent butt. Anyway, I was thinking that '86 had a note in it also and your post made me go look...

2ndovc

The Greek rounds are loaded with about the same weight of a fine ball powder. Boxer primed with a 174 gr flat base FMJ that's sealed inthe case. Most I have are dated 69. The SA ammo is WWII dated. I'll fire a box or so and store the rest. I do have experience with corrosive ammunition. Been shootin...

That was a pretty darn interesting thread. Clicked on it not expecting to learn 1/2 as much as I did!!!! Thanks! Geoff Exactly. I didn't start out planning to post about this but just thought it might get a good discussion going. There's so much collective knowlegde on this site that I thought some...

2ndovc

Well you learn something every day

I've been shooting .303s since I was 14 but never took one apart.
Plus it's one of the cartridges that got me into reloading. That and the .32-20.
Neither were popular around here in the early 80s.

jb

2ndovc

Bullets. I bought the Big Box of 303 British ammo from Levers. ( Nice guy by the way!) In it was some Greek surplus on stripper clips in bandolers. Along with some South African Surplus that I've seen but have no experience with. So being one that has to take everything apart I pulled the bullet and...

2ndovc

Man I hate it when they shrink. I've gone through three in 5 years

2ndovc

Always thought they were "funky cool"

I've been wanting one but everytime I find a good one my gun fund is empty.
They also made a centerfire in .30 carbine and 256 Winchester witha detachable magazine.

Got some nice stuff there Wacko!

jb

I hate to hear that. Unfortunately I'm afraid it's going to be happening more and more to people we know ( or sorta know). Take care of yourself and your family the best you can and be well. Get yourself a library card ( I think most are online these days), check in once and a while and let us know ...

Federal makes a 200 Gr semi-wadcutter HP that is super accurate from my S&W 21. I haven't connected with anything larger than a nasty looking wild dog about the size of a sheppard but he dropped in his tracks. He thought he was going to have my boxer mix for lunch when I changed his mind. Don't ...

Must be Rough!!!

jb

2ndovc

That Improved my opinion of these little rifles. When I saw the first photos I was really excited to get my hands on one. First one I came across must have been non-typical. The stocks were kinda on the rough side and wood metal fit was horrible. Looks and sounds like they've addressed that issue or...

Gunbroker.com and Auctionarms.com are good sources for guys parting out guns.

gunpartscorp.com sometimes has Winchester stuff.

good deal by the way. I have my Grandfather's '73 / .32-20. Neat old rifles!

jb

2ndovc

All time favorites: 45-70 ( Useless round), 32-20 (even more useless), 30-06,(over rated), .303 Brit. ( out dated), .45ACP ( fat and slow), .38 Spl. ( weak and slow), .44 Magnum ( yesterday's news), :D :evil: (If you believe what you read). We all know the 300 Remington SAUM can do everything :wink:...

Hard to beat those old M&Ps!

jb

# 1, .45-70
# 2, .32-20

Those are my favorites but the .45-70 Rules!

I got one of the boys a 70s vintage 336 in 35 Rem. for Christmas this year. He's finally decided that he wants to go hunting with me next year. I'm really pleased with this rifle, accuracy and it doesn't beat him up. I set it up like my 450 Marlin. XS Scout mount and scope. Been looking for another ...

I was watching that on Aution Arms. I almost bid on it.

Glad I didn't.

Can't wait to see how it turns out

The pad is a Red Head. Doesn't look like they cut the stock but it's hard to tell, it would be really short without it. Just spent the last hour in the basement cleaning guns and making some cast bullet loads. 8.5 gr. Unique and a 165 Gr LFPGC. Worked well in a Winchester I had. As great as it would...

2ndovc

I was thinking about that too. I'd love to find an old Redfield or other '50s vintage sight. Until I do I'll probably order a new one. Shouldn't be
that hard to "Antique" one.

Sixgun's suggestion of restoring it has crossed my mind but I like the way it looks.
