I'm a firm believer that there are more Tacoma's in these WV mountains than any other state. They are tough as nails and work great on these logging roads and old mining roads. I have owned nothing but 4x4's most of my life and this Tacoma's is the best one I have ever owned. Mike

Mike-in-WV

Hope it's somrthing simple and easy to fix. Here is my 01 Tacoma and it runs like the day I got it and has 92,000 on it. The Tacoma is about all you see in these mountains. Most of them have dog boxes on the back and a couple of Bear dogs sitting on top. :) Mike http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81...

Just go to Google and type in Branding Iron. You find all kinds of them.You can also look up a Black Smith in your yellow pages. If they don't make them I'm sure they can tell you where to get one. Hope this helps, Mike

Just got my new Midway catalog and there ammo and bullet prices are still great! [/b] You must not be referring to MidwayUSA.com Yes, I am refering to USA Midway. Don't know about the .com because I always get there catalogs. Prices on ammo are as good as Walmart. Prices on stocks are cheaper than ...

Just got my new Midway catalog and there ammo and bullet prices are still great! Good price on all the Winchester and Marlin stocks too. Mike

Saying good by to old friends for the last time is never easy but watching them suffer as they beg for relief is harder . Prayers are said for your wife and the horse. Mike

Mike-in-WV

Lol, OK, the 39A is a good gun....if you are a gun smith!!!

Just kidding guy's. The Marlin is a fine rifle I just was the sad recipient of a bad 39A back then.

That would not bother me at all! One of the worse guns I ever owned back in the mid 60's. Replaced four ejectors and sold it after replacing the fourth one. That one did not last the new owner very long. Bought a 9422 later and never had a minutes problem with it in all these years. I'll stick with ...

Joe, I agree that they don't need stripped down to often but it sure don't hurt to do it either.

Had to go to the Doctors early this morning and when I got back it was pouring down rain. Went out to my work shop and tore down my Win. 94 Trapper to nothing but receiver and barrel and sights. I even stripped down the trigger mechanism. As I mentioned in another thread on here I only shot about 24...

Mike-in-WV

Well, I reached 240 rounds through my Win. 94 Trapper and it's only about 15 years old,Lol. It set around for a long time before anyone shot it and my Grandson got his first deer with it a couple years ago. With 240 rounds down the barrel how long will it be before I wear it out and need a new barre...

I'm proud to say that I am a WV Hill-Billy and that I do love this state .One of the reasons we call it the "Wild and Wonderful"state is because that's just what it is. Without going into the facts of how these people down here think a little different then most and what a poor state this ...

Awhile back I placed a Ghost Ring sight on my 94 30-30 Trapper and I love the sights but the sight picture was not exactly as I wanted it. At 50 yards I would shoot about right on but I like a 6:00 hold so I can see the spot I want to hit. It's just the way I was taught by my Dad when I was knee hig...

Mike-in-WV

If you alter the safety or trigger you are asking for trouble no matter how you look at it if you were to shoot someone by accident or in self defense. If the prosecutor is anti gun nut he will look for every possible way to nail you and the same for the lawyer of the person or persons suing you. Th...

Mike-in-WV

Gamekeeper, Glad I could help. Let me when you get your new stock and what kind of job they did. There prices look like there worth it but more than I could spend right now without my wife killing me

I would like to get one that has better grain in it for my Trapper. Mike

Mike-in-WV

You have to go one full turn with it because the whole peep rotates and you can't have it just half a turn or it would be sitting sideways. That is the problem with the XS style posts, I have a Brockman's sight like that and an XS. I removed the XS and will soon remove the Brockman's, in favor of t...

Mike-in-WV

Yea, Now I really like the brass ring! :D But my problem is not so much seeing with my ghost ring sights as it is that just one turn raising or lowering the peep will move the bullet impact about 1.5" and I need to move the bullet impact about one half inch higher then it is right now. You have...

Rusty, You make a good point! We aint scared..."I got a rifle and a shotgun and a 4 wheel drive , I can skin a buck and run a trot line and us country boys can survive!"

There is also talk of starting gun clubs for students . We just built a real nice 14 acre lake with a gun range here in Clay County ,WV.Mike

Mike-in-WV

Thanks Joe and that's a great idea.I may have to alter my front sight just a little. It's hitting right on off the top of the front sight but if I turn the peep up just one half turn it's to high. I want it to hit about 1/2" above the front sight from 6:00 hold. I hate my sight covering the spo...

Hobie, Does this look like McCain is against our right to guns? I don't think so. If you want to nit-pick some of his feelings on things like armor piercing ammo that's fine but it's not going to bother me or most of us if they did ban it. I have no need for such things in my area. I sure don't agre...

Last night on the news they announced that they are going to have gun clubs to and that any kid can take the hunting coarse in school. WV is one of the most hunting, shooting and trapping oriente...

Bluehawk, At least you would have had a clean "sight hole"

Thanks guy's, I have a large and small aperture on my GR sights too but they are both bigger than the average peep. Guess I'll stick with them. They sure work great for me on this Trapper! Mike

Mike-in-WV

If it comes down to anyone running now and McCain I will take McCain any day! There is no way I would vote for gun hating Hillary or Omama. They are both worthless lier's and political butt kissers. MicCain is all for us keeping our guns and leaving the constitution alone. He also knows what war is ...

Mike-in-WV

It seems to me that many of you like the peep sights for target or hunting and so do I but I like the XS-Ghost ring because they are larger than most others I know of. How do you guy's use the small aperture sights like the Williams peep that seem so popular on here?. It seems to me that they would ...

Mike-in-WV

Remember you have to ad shipping cost to that price . I would never be able to afford to shoot one of those gun's more than once or twice a year!

Mike

Mike-in-WV

Hobie, That may be. I just remember people talking about a plug for the safety on the Win 94 and then I remember seeing one of them fixed with the shell casing end. Don't know why you couldn't fix either one that way unless I'm missing something else. Mike

I have been offered a Winchester 9422M for $198.00 It's in good condition except for the stock. If I buy it I would want to restock it with a non checkered standard stock. Is there any company in the States that could send a stock to the UK without charging an arm and a leg? Game keeper, Here you g...

Mike-in-WV

:lol: OK Joe, When you figure out how to fix it right please let me know! I'm all for it. Until then I'll live with the safety and not the plug. If I was going to plug it I would use that idea someone had on here where he used the end of the shell. While your fixen things please just bring back the ...

Mike-in-WV

My old Winchesters don't have the safety my newer one has but the new one also does not have the half cock safety either. Therefor I will use the safety it came with and I don't really feel that it should be as big a deal as some guy's are making of it. Just live with it! Now that I'm used to it it ...

Tom, If you go on line and look at Cabelas ammo prices they seem really high to me plus the shipping. Wish I had a Cabelas close by instead of the way over priced Gander Mountain stores.

Some of the gun shops have raised the price of ammo so high it's ridiculous. I can see it if they have to but most don't need to raise it as high as they do.

If you buy any make sure you save the receipt. Federal always runs some kind of promotion deals on there ammo and you ...

See if you can get ahold of an Akron or Medina, Ohio phone book. There are many smiths in either of those area's and there should be plenty in your area. Check the yellow pages and make some calls. Good luck, Mike

The 150 's are great but I must say that I like the 170 better and the 170 federal Power-Shok even better. Not that one is really better than another but it's just a matter of preference.The Federal 170 seems to hold together better than the Winchesters for some reason. That's not a statement from a...
