...if you ever have the joy of borrowing money to pay taxes on 'income' you haven't even earned yet When I owned my business, this was the hardest thing to explain to ones who did not. Even my Father, after showing him the estimated tax receipts thought I was trying to pull the wool over his eyes. ...

After reading Chuck 100yd's impending retirement and the statement "afterworking 46years" got me to thinking.

How long has everyone paid into Social Security?

According to the last statement from SS, I was first recorded as paying in when I was 12 years old.

When did you start?

Yes, I understand that Booger Bill, I was requesting the picture from Paladin. I was just at Camp Douglas this past Friday, should have taken pictures, the topography is unique.

Great picture...maybe a panoramic view of Volk field would be nice too.

Thanks for the suggestions. A buddy of mine says he has some 5/8" od aluminum .062" wall tubing he can give me. Sounds like an easy way to do it. Id should be just under .500 and by cutting it with a tubing cutter should be able to build a lip to get id closer to .470 or so. Probably shoul...

It is really interesting that the Department of the Interior supplied the Indian nations with repeater rifles, while the military had single shot Trapdoors.

This thread really has made me nervous. Almost down right paranoid. Especially with my Trapdoors ('75 High Arch ser# 1336, '79 Carbine, '84 Carbine that was relined by Bobby Hoyt, and two '87's), 71/84 Mausers('86), 1886 Kropatschek('86), and '73 Winchester (made in 1882).

I'd differ to Griff, but will add my two cents from my experience as owning a transportation company years ago to handle my produce brokerage business.

Joe, you brought up a good point. Wonder if there is any data as to which states have the most public land that you can shoot and hunt on?

Right now if I would have to guess, it would be Montana...but ya never know.

Alaska doesn't count 'cause it takes too long to drive there.

If I sight in at 25 yards, I'm also sighted in at 115 yards (since what goes up must come down) and I'm only .63" high at 50 yards, and only .45" high at 100. From my experience, this seems to work. Slightly different measurements for different cartridges but, close. My 6.5 X 55 Swede (12...

Quite sure this topic has been handled a time or two, but did the search and came up with nothing concrete.

Fit to be tied! Can not get this gun to fire consistently. In fact, not at all. Used J Miller's solution of brake cleaner, actually soaked the bolt in it. Seemed to free up the pin somewhat, then put a light coat of Remoil on it. Put it all back together, loaded it, and actually expected the gun to ...

Thought it was a good show.

From pictures that I could dig up, there were more Winchester '73's than '66s. But the predominate "rifle" were the Trapdoors.

Seems as though Jim Vance was the primary antagonist.

If you bought it used could be a previous owner put in a lighter hammer spring. It was brand new in the box, couple-three years ago I first tried to fire it...no go, not even an indent on the primer. Sprayed WD 40 into it, soaked the pin, worked the dickens out of it and managed to fire a few round...

Thanks, will disassemble when time allows.

Would a lighter firing pin spring stop this problem? Or is there someway to eliminate the inertia style system?

How many fingers could you count between pull'n the trigger and that .44-40 meandering down course for it to hit?
