Oh boy will those piggies be squealing to their unions over a silenced 45-70 Gubment!!

CalvinMD

Does great.. 94 Marlin..the critical defense rids my yard of gophers like a charm too

CalvinMD

The Sporting Carbine ( waffle top,not D&T) in .35 Rem. Was only made for 1 or 2 years, 1952 - 53 IIRC. I have one in about 90%+ condition that I value at $800 + . After that they were smooth tops drilled and tapped. Mine is a very good shooter Don't let that one get away. I have a mint SC 35Rem...

CalvinMD

That is extremely cool and just plain interesting looking...not to highjack but its way more unique than what I'm working on...just completed rebuilding and detailing an original 406ci tri-power Ford Big block..it will be going into an Shelby AC Cobra replicar kit after I save a few more bucks...wit...

CalvinMD

I checked on my old Wylie neighbors...all well but touch and go for a bit nearest to Garland

CalvinMD

I also have my grandads squadron insignia pins...will post them too as maybe y'all know more info than I do on them...he didn't like talking much about war...a very proud but religious man who it always bothered taking lives ..even of our countries enemies The very coolest thing that my dad told me ...

CalvinMD

My Marlin is also a tackdriver....my loads of 170 JHP Sierras over Ramshot Enforcer or H110 group sub 1" at 50 and a hair over 1.8" at 100yds if the day is calm...it bowls the steel plates over with authority at 150yds too...don't know if I would try Bambi at that distance but would at 100...

CalvinMD

Also thing the 22mag is the way to go...the Henry is nice and available without emptying your 401K

CalvinMD

That is a handsome setup...all of them are actually

CalvinMD

No need to enter me as I don't have a 300 but just wanted to say its darn nice of you Pete!!! If they could be reformed to 308 Marlin Express I'd be all in fo' sho'

!!!

CalvinMD

Sorry Pete..I figured it out once I read it again closer...but you're right..a good shooter behind a good rifle beats a bad one even if hes in a tank any day...I know which one I'd be more afraid of any day

CalvinMD

Are you sure the puppy didn't just hold them down while he ran up closer??

Just Kidding..just shows precision trumps power most of the time,...I never would have had the confidence in the tiny caliber,..too afraid of wounding but glad he harvested cleanly

CalvinMD

Will post a great old photo of my grandad(gotta scan it in, very fragile) in 1936 in his Boeing P12E protecting the Panama Canal, he discharged in 40..after reenlisting after the birth of my dad he later moved on to P40 Warhawks and was at Pearl 12/7/41 and survived getting airborne to exact some pa...

CalvinMD

How would Tom Horn have handled this I wonder?? Hmmm

CalvinMD

Gots to be a reason

...I'd declare a personal vendetta ...good start would be what was recommended..theres gotta be pressure on the barrel causing vertical stringing

CalvinMD

Yup ..I lived outside Wylie Tx and had bunches of them....went to a few roundups..over towards the Louisiana side went to a festival that I ate the best catfish/shrimp/ gator/ crawdads and rattler I ever had...of course my cholesterol was about 500 after that weekend,..but what the hey...it was a pa...

CalvinMD

In Md your lucky they even let you carry your ammo in the same car as the gun.....major Anal-orifices in our state

CalvinMD

I dunno??? my 39 works fine with everthing and most hunting was done with hp's

CalvinMD

My deepest sympathies for your loss,..lost my dad at 58..enjoy those you love while you have them...tomorrow is promised but never guaranteed

CalvinMD

I still have a couple cases of Winchester Black Talons for my Browning Hi Power and Beretta 92, ..thankfully never had to test them other than on targets

CalvinMD

Got a ton of 22's but most times I'm carrying either my first model 60 or my Ruger 77/22 stainless with a Bushnell 3x9

CalvinMD

Them rattlers are tastey when prepared right

anybody ever cooked a copperhead?

CalvinMD

My chinese gun has synthetic nylon or delrin seals....I use Mobil synthetic auto tranny fluid (also as a general gun oil)...a great oil thats never gums or changes viscosity...no danger of dieseling as it has a super high flash point..paid 5.25 for a qt back in 2006 and still have most of it left

CalvinMD

Hang in there Blaine...may I recommend MilkBones with chlorophyll for fresh breath...always critical after giving your butt a tongue bath

CalvinMD

I have both the HMR and Mach 2...both are CZ 452 americans....Like the Mach 2 better..quiet and realistically just as effective and more accuracy for less money...the 15 extra yards of the HMR didnt seem worth the extra 40% in ammo cost. But they are both sweet and work fine up until its time to bre...

CalvinMD

I bet the trailboss would be sweet in my old 32-20 too....my neighbors are super tolerant and happy I eliminate pests..especially when we have outbreaks of rabid animals cruising through...but i want and need to be quiet as reasonably possible out of respect for them...so sub-sonic is the only way t...

CalvinMD

Im thinking I need some trailboss...I'm not going to do suppressed work but my backyard critters might really have a problem with those lil hardcast Hornet loads that I'm guessing would be fairly quiet and cheaper than the 22 and 17 mags

CalvinMD

Cool!...anyone else have one of those old Chinese made single strokes like you used to see at the gun shows way back when they were still importing Norinco stuff??...I have one and although crude its pretty peppy and I've filled a trash can full of Starlings and rodents from my sheds and bird feeder...

CalvinMD

I can vouch for the Ruger Redhawk (not the Super)....Mine has digested every load fed it happily with great accuracy and stone reliability..as much as I like Smiths...I know this gun will take the pounding that brings most other guns in for work...Hoping one day to find a 5.5" barreled stainles...

CalvinMD

Id love that scope on my 444 but its out of reach for me...on a fixed income with every Dr in Baltimore reaching into my wallet to empty it monthly

CalvinMD

Very nice..ought to be awesome on those Sikas....time for you to get some big boolits made up for it..life starts at 300grains ya know

CalvinMD

Just get Ranch Dogs mold and set yourself up for gas checks , then hoard some wheel weights and be done with it,...you'll be so glad you did

CalvinMD

If you are going to hunt it hard..the Robar is nice but I think Cerokote is even better...if you are wanting original (which I would on a very covetted rare gun as that)..Id send it to Fords Refinishing in Fla...they are absolute sticklers for perfection...they redid one of my Pythons that was purch...

CalvinMD

Prayers sent,..you're in good hands with both the Drs and Gods

CalvinMD

Thanks

I'll call Marlin tomorrow just to see how I'm treated

CalvinMD

Wanted to get some spare bullseye stock inlays to have around in case I buy a gun where its missing or been drilled into for a sling swivel stud...anybody had an experience they care to share??

CalvinMD

this is for serious hunting and pretty warm but safe in my 336's......Remington brass/Rem 9 1/2 primer/ 33.5 AA2520 over a 170 Sierra...its a 1.25-1.5" grouper and pushes just a hair over 2200 out of my 20" barrel Sporting Carbine and 2250 out of the 24" 336A :!: Start at least 15% un...

CalvinMD

I will probably still get myself a cowboy 45LC just to have one but have to sell off a nice sporting clays scattergun to finance the deal first

CalvinMD

I gotta agree..the 45-70 will cover everything and shoot forever without self destructing within its design limits....now I would still not mind a 480 Ruger in a '94 though

CalvinMD

Considering what I'd like to accomplish with the gun I may just send one of my 44mags to be rebored to 45LC and request the twist I want...but thanks to all for setting me straight..the reason I've been wanting one is my awesome shooting freedom arms with the 45 cylinder installed shoots so wonderfu...

CalvinMD

Hi Stan....322 sounds like it mite be a touch small for your bore...I'd try seeing if you can find something 323 ...check in with Ranch Dog molds and I'm sure hes got the thing to do the trick

CalvinMD

Great buck and beautiful S/S....I'm a rifle man but back before I had so many birthdays under my belt ...we hunted the swamps of Marylands eastern shore for Sika...slogging the marsh to jump them up like bunnies with pump or auto scatterguns with slugs and buckshot...it was a bunch of fun :P ...ah, ...

CalvinMD

Thanks guys....since I have a 45-70 I'll just stick to that

CalvinMD

Yup, I got stuck having to dance with her at a cousins wedding...My toes will never be the same and there wasn't enough alchohol to make her a "10"...so yes She does exist :roll: Now that is something I don't want to run into. Don't want to scare you Piller...but the wedding took place in...

CalvinMD

As long as you don't mind having a 2-shooter...those 125gr spitzers will reach out and touch something very hard....they hold together fine on deer too...with a 30-30 loaded up pushing them to safe max ..I was getting right at 1" groups with H335 and complete pass thrus on some pretty respectab...

CalvinMD

Hi guys n gals....I'm thinking I would like to have a Marlin 94 in 45LC but need to ge an idea what year range to look within that I know I will be getting a 1-20" twist gun..preferrably Ballard and octagon barrel but the twist is most important as I plan on nothing smaller than 300grains going...

CalvinMD

Like was mentioned...Beartooths are fairly hard and your load might need to be kicked up a notch to obturate the bullet to slug up in your bore

CalvinMD

I'm going to try that this weekend!! have a truckload of 30-30 brass from my gun clubs public sight in day....I'm going to try cast boolits too for use in my Marlin M-375...not to get off the topic but should I order then in .377 , 378 or 379dia???..have never slugged the barrel but have heard they ...

CalvinMD

It truly was amazing...it not only proved the 30-30's power...but what the proper ammo for the job can do in the hands of a good shot...I cant wait to see chapter two where John Wilson takes on the grizzly with his 336....those Buffalo Bore 190's made a believer out of me so far

CalvinMD
