Can the existing barrel not just be reamed out and re-rifled for .30-cal?

Scott

RSY

Agreed on the Slip 2000 (and anything in their product line). Everyone should avail themselves of the free sample offer on their website. Amazing stuff.

A buddy had a converted Arisaka in 12-ga. once. Odd beast, but cool.

The SR22, the M&P22, and the Walther are all good ideas because there is a 9mm just like them in their respective lines that she could move up to seamlessly when the time comes.

RSY

Sad to say I'm down to one levergun these days. Had to sell off my BB94 when I realized I couldn't cook it any way that the kids would eat it. Still have my Marlin 56, though. Ironically, these days I think .375 Win. ammo is probably easier to get than .22 stuff, though.

C'est la vie.

Been awhile since I set foot in this establishment. Good to see it's still going. All the best to y'all.

Awesome. Thanks, man.

Hope things are well up in your neck of the woods.

Reputations are just that... I have some S&B brass for my .270 that started out as some of their 150-gr RN loads. Those rounds were stout . The brass seems pretty good, but as factory loads some were tough to close a bolt on, almost as if they were too long. They definitely benefited from being ...

RSY

Is the hole for the firing pin in the boltface excessively large? That donut around the strike is bizarre...to me, at least.

RSY

Sounds like the headspace may be a tad too large or a long cut chamber. Are the primers also backing out (or, is that what you meant by "bulging")?

Kindly disregard. I didn't see the earlier thread on the same subject. Lo sientos.

I know we have some folks in that area and the twisters have been bad there today.

A CHL licensee is required by law to declare to a police officer during a traffic stop which is kind of weird because it's legal to carry loaded in your vehicle without a CHL, and loaded in vehicle non-licensee is not required to declare. I believe the TSRA is working on getting this little SNAFU f...

I believe it comes up when they check your DL, not your license plate. Definitely check your state laws, know them, and keep up to date on them. This is one of the best, most well-maintained sites for concealed carry laws: http://www.handgunlaw.us According to that site, in Minnesota you do not have...

Before you ditch it, have it re-crowned by your gunsmith. It's not too expensive to do, and it might solve everything.

I wish we had a Hot Rod Church here in Texas. Awesome. I've been Rockabilly-ing a lot lately, too. Got the "Jeff Beck's Rock 'n' Roll Party" DVD for Christmas from my girls and it's spent mucho time in the DVD player since then. Of course, Jeff Beck's "Crazy Legs" CD has been in ...

Cool. Looks like Remington 1867 rolling block pistols. There ya go, RSY. That is a new one on me! Thank you for the clarification, and my apologies to Mr. Randolph Scott (although that is a bit late). No problem. Looks like the props guy on that film did a pretty good job, actually. The barbers mus...

Found a still photo! If I post it on the site, I might run into copyright violations, so here is the link to view one of the guys with what looks to me like two Thompson Contenders (!) although you are right; it appears that the pistol was not marketed until about 15 years later. Are these cap and ...

What party doesn't Taurus join??? As is the case here, they're usually riding the coattails of Beretta.

Then, there is the "best" movie for Old West gun viewing that made me laugh - "Colt 45," 1950, with Randolph Scott: 1) Mr. Scott and a "bad guy" had a .45 Peacemaker with a barrel length that varied between scenes, and 2) Most of the others carried a Thompson Center (T...

You gotta download and use Google Earth. You're free to roam at that point.

RSY

Probably doesn't qualify as "Old West," but one of the things I love about "the Wild Bunch" is the range of weapons in there. It pretty much encompasses everything I love, from Model 94s to M1903 Springfields, and from Peacemakers to M1911s. Not to mention Model 12 shotguns and M...

His sons made some pretty good music, too. Glad to see he lived a long and full life. His grandson Chris (Gary and Gail Davies' son) is still carrying on the tradition.

As Sect'y of the Navy, James Forrestall said at the time: "Of the Marines on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue".... No, Admiral Nimitz said that. Forrestal said "Holland, the raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next five hundred years" to Ge...

I bought a Lee FCD for .375 Win. but have gone back to just using the Redding seater for crimps. The Lee FCD I have puts slanted crimps on rounds :shock: , which drives me nuts. I may just toss it, since it ain't worth spending my $$$ on shipping it back for something that should have been right the...

RSY

I see Cabela's is on top of their game, as usual: That's a Light Sporter, not a Tropical.

The Tropical models are for heavy-lifting, and the smallest Tropical is in .375 H&H.

Still, a very tempting little rifle. I'm a lefty, so the No.1s have great appeal for me.

Well, I'm glad to see you've reappeared here, Ji. Hang tough, man. And, if I can do anything for you, let me know.

Great looking lantern, by the way. Nice work.

Right click on the video frame, itself. The HD portion is embedded in the video on the webpage. Sorry, I shouldn't have said "screen."

Ganjiro,

You actually came to mind the other day when I was thinking about the crew from the old leverguns forum. I was thinking about you and your Mom and Dad. I hope you're doing well, amigo. Any chance of you coming back to Texas sometime soon?

Exactly. Danjou was likely the only Frenchman there that day.

Despite their record of the last 70 years, the French military has a strong record of valiant and effective service to France. The fact of the matter is, they did most of the Allied heavy lifting against the Kaiser during World War One...so much so that they still had not fully recovered by the time...

RSY

Well, it wasn't "darn", but the forum software changed what I had typed.

Also, I had it backwards: Forrest stabbed and killed a subordinate with a pen knife after he had shot Forrest. Had something to do with an argument over some lost artillery pieces, I believe.

RSY

That's what I thought. He was an unsung genius at what he did. Good source of quotes, too: "No darn man kills me and lives!" Uttered before he killed some moron that had stabbed him with a pen knife. Gotta love it.

RSY

Who is this...Forrest?

RSY

You know, you guys got me thinking that sending it back might not be a bad idea. It was a Christmas gift, so it's basically brand new.

RSY

OK. Fun little BUG, but every time I shoot it the front sight drifts off to the left. So, thinking about taking the sight off, degreasing, and putting some blue Loctite down. 1. Anyone know which way to drift that sight out for removal? 2. Will Loctite do the trick on a non-threaded surface like thi...

You can always use the Kimber kit.

A great, and somewhat expected, offering from Ruger. I do like the fact that it is a "Series 70."

I just wish they had brought out a Commander size at the same time. Hopefully, that is in the works.

I celebrated last year for the Model 1910. That M1911 is just a johnny-come-lately.

That, and it's highly possible that a good chunk of it is actually a painting/drawing.

If Remington made a lefty Model 7, I would have had one a long time ago. And, there is just something about the .260 that has its hooks in me, as well. Maybe it's the old Marine in me: Doing the most with the least.

How does the pistol grip work out with the double triggers? I've always read/heard that straight English stocks are best suited for double triggers. What's your experience been?
