Took the Vaquero .44 Spl along as well. I'd only shot it once and not on paper. https://i.imgur.com/fmmObZH.jpg The M&P functioned perfectly with 40 gr CCIs and Remington 33 gr bullets. It definitely prefers the 33 gr ammo. All of the Remington's are in the red except the one next to the 9 on th...

I've brought home a considerable amount of ammunition from water losses that has have been exposed to various amounts of water and so far, most of it has fired without issue. I had some Rem. 22lr and 9mm "white box" that were under water like you described and were sitting in the dampness ...

Cool!

Can't go wrong with the old '06!

My favourite semi 22 is the Winchester 63 I have my grandfather's 63. A LOT of .22s have gone through this great little rifle. https://i.imgur.com/zVDeBsE.jpg I have a couple 10/22s and like them, but I tend to grab one of my Savage or CZs for an afternoon of plinking or walking trails. https://i.i...

That's a real trophy, Scott! I've wanted one for some time. Preferably a .44 Magnum. jb 8) .45 Colt for me And asking “why not just get the 454?” With my usage patterns i know I would never shoot big power loads and wouldn’t want to clean all the extra gunk out of the cylinder like I have to do wit...

I never would have thought that we would see the antisemitism raging around the world like we're seeing now. Heartbreaking to say the least. When I was in college in the late '80s early '90s these idiots not only would been thrown off campus, they would have gotten a good beating first. jb https://i...

Thanks Bill, building is also the reason we need doctors- us guys are broken down, beat & wore out joints ! :lol: You're not kidding! Biggest reason I made the switch to the Dark Side/ or insurance world depending on your views. Too beat up for a lot of that stuff anymore. Cool looking building...

Still working on mine. My Dr. friend invited me out to his place next week to help me work on what I need as well as a First Aid class. There also just happens to be a very nice gun shop out there. Mostly high end shotguns, but it's fun to look.

Jim! :lol: :lol: Jay, Liberty Mutual has really changed. Used to be a great company to work with, but they've gone the way of St. Farm and some of the others. I learned a lot from one of their large loss adjusters. I've had independent agents actually show up at a large fire loss. Most of the smalle...

Didn't notice that large of an increase. What I have issue with is I have large , LARGE oak trees very close to my house. I asked the insurance agent if they would pay to take down/ trim the trees. No we don't do that. Ok so the next hurricane Sandy snaps off the top and goes through the roof causi...

Got lucky, big time. Some of the .35s have been reloaded at least once, but are in good shape. The .250 Savage brass is really dirty, but Norma mfg. :D I've been scrounging the shows for .250s for a while and have enough now to keep me shooting grandpa's Model 70 for a long time. The .35s were a rea...

2ndovc

A pleasant cartridge to shoot and quite accurate when you find the right combination. I have my grandfather's 94 that shoots the Barnes .377s really well. The rifle is all original but has some pitting and wear on the receiver. The bore is perfect though. https://i.imgur.com/PMFkhW3.jpg The rifle I ...

My dad and I went to a little show this morning. Usually find something interesting there, but hadn't seen anything I couldn't live without. I was getting a little worn out, but my dad talked me into one more pass. There was a box of ziplocs full of brass that I hadn't seen before. Pulled out a bag ...

Ruger to the best of my knowledge has always been pretty good on their warranty. HOWEVER, I would send it to Jeff Ault at Munden Sixgun Magic. I was about ready to sell my Ruger Flattop but decided to suck it up and spend the money. It was truly the best money I have ever spent on a gun. Here is a ...

Those Yamaha 200s are great little bikes!

I had a Kawasaki KLR650 for years. I sold it, planning an upgrade to a BMW GS1200 but something got in the way and it never happened. I've been thinking about replacing the KLR a lot recently. Might just happen this year.

. My little Remlin 357 Mag threaded carbine (1894 CST) is probably the most versatile and practical levergun I've ever had. I did adulterate it with a Ranger Point Precision forend, and later even their buttstock, because I've also got a pristine blued steel and walnut 1894 C in 357 that is 'factor...

Thanks Doc, there's some good info in there. I have a lot of the things you mentioned in a dry box in my truck. Rubber gloves, respirators, N95s, goggles etc. Tools of the trade.

Most commercial “first aid” kits are woefully inadequate for much more than a paper cut. Good ones are expensive but often have things most folks have no idea how to use. Then too, most folks buy a kit stuff it in the trunk or bathroom cabinet and expect it to be useable years later. By which time ...

Good morning, guys! Back home last night from another two week stay in the hospital. This one started out really bad, but I feel better now than I have in a long time! While I was there, when I could get a connection, I was able to get into the site now and then, but not often. The reason for this t...

I had to send mine back about 5-6 years ago. Not only did they send me a whole new one but a big box of spare parts came with it.
Every time I've had to contact Dillon, which has been few and far between, their customer service people have been first rate!

Ruger customer service is so odd. They fixed a large frame.44 Magnum Vaquero for me last year and only charged shipping. It’s still worth giving them a call. I have one of the LCP II LR, .22s and it’s never given me a problem. I put a Ruger threaded barrel in it a while ago and it is still working p...

The older we get, the more forgetful we get. Nothing wrong with mnemonic sayings. I am not getting forgetful...

Enjoyed the story! Best plane ride I ever had was on a DC 3 in the late’70s. We flew from St. Thomas, USVI to San Juan airport to catch a flight to Miami. The pilot flew nice and low and my face was glued to the window the entire time. I’ll never forget that ride. For a thirteen year old kid, nothin...

The P365 simply performs better in my hands and weighs so much less. I hate to admit it because I cut my teeth on a 1911 and carried a Government Model for many years on and off duty. Scott, I've been carrying a Sig 365 for about a year now. I like the way it sits in my hand and an outstanding shoo...

I went out to one of my favorite shops this morning. Finally getting a little energy back and had to get out the house. Went looking for some Bullseye, but still didn't have any. I have enough for now, but another pound or two would make me happy. The racks and handgun cases were over flowing. Haven...

Nice looking pistols!

I have a P238 and it hasn't let me down yet. I keep eyeballing the Sig STX/ 1911. Sooner or later, I'll buy one.

Have fun!

Thanks Griff! I have several doctors and "specialists" looking after me since this fiasco. I have a lot of follow up apts. to get through in the coming months, but so far all is well. I've been bugging the one in charge, her assistant at least, to let me return for "light work" n...

Really slick looking sight. I've always liked a gold bead on my revolvers. I was obsessed with my .327 when i first got it, then the ADD kicked in and got involved with some else. I'll have to get back to the .327, do enjoy shooting it. I did try several brands and weights but settled on the 100 XTP...

This old, worked over '95 SRC / .30-'06 has accounted for more whitetail than any other rifle I own. I was still in college when I bought it, and that $350 was every last dollar I had, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

One of the best investments I've made in some time. It will run the whole house and then some. Ours is propane driven and have plans to upgrade the size of our tank, just incase of an extended, wintertime outage. It's programmed to cycle on, run for 15 minutes and shut down every other Tuesday. Tuck...
