Some time ago I read an article about hunting accidents. Not sure how long ago. Of course the first question is "Was it really an accident?". But after that, it stated that gunshot wounds from a 30-30, (more so than most other popular cartridges) were almost always fatal. Evidently, the 30...

Welcome to the site. I also used to have a .44 mag levergun, a Marlin. Shame on me for getting rid of it. I do not have the technical info you seek; personally I would sight in 2 or 3 inches high at 25 yards, and move to progressively to 50 and 100 yards. But you probably already know this, and are ...

Will do.

I remember these being sold by a few internet vendors a little while ago. They were about half that price back then. Still expensive. And Heavy!

How do you get to the stock bolt without wearing out the screw sockets in the synthetic stock? Did you just drill a hole in the recoil pad so you don't regularly have to remove it? Sorry, no interest here. A survival rifle with only two shots. My AR-7 far out classes the M-6. Still I found the AR-7 ...

Three inches to 12 inches. Are you finishing them off in traps? Your mixing of metric and SAE in the same sentence is interesting.

junkbug

Yours seems to have a brass grip. Nice. Also, I have struggled trying to figure out the date of manufacture of these revolvers.

Kovak was the Polish immigrant, and in the movie was killed because the stove he carried on his cartridge belt got tangled in barbed wire. He was played by Richard Castle.

The stove looks like the one carried by the "Kovak" in the Audie Murphy movie "To Hell and Back".

That is a very useful trick Jim. Thanks for posting it. Kind of reminds me of reading how Elmer Kieth inspected his fired bullets after recovering them from melted snow drifts in the spring. Is there any chance of getting a bullet stuck with that load? Also, instead of Bullseye, I might try it with ...

Thanks Ray. I remember reading that article also. It has much useful information.

Hi everyone; It has been a while since I have posted, so I may missed some mention of this, if there was any. I am interested in trying to have an Italian Remington 1858 .44 cal. cap and ball revolver Taylor throated. It is no gem of a gun, but I thought it might be fun. I can no longer find the ori...

AWESOME!

That sight is extremely complex for one load at open sight ranges. My guess is that the maker knew how varied 30-06 ammo already was and put a variety of leaves on the rib so that the hunter could shoot at his preferred range with his favorite load and find the leaf that worked. Would also allow for...

I recall reading the builders went to great length to ensure that this tool was exempt from the suppressed rifle tax stamp requirements, and legal anywhere muzzleloading firearms were legal. They advertised this proudly. It took very little time for several states to ban them explicitly, by name, an...

I bet a slightly larger diameter would work well for a muzzleloader. Would take a long time to bore and rifle with frontier barrel making tools, most of which were wood. However, the rebar is inexpensive enough that you could mess up a few without breaking the bank. Most pre Civil War barrels were m...

Because this is America, where capitalism rules and choices don't have to make sense. I still can't figure out why Jeep dropped the famous indestructible inline 6 and replaced it with a oil consuming slightly more powerful v-6 or for that matter, how Obama was POTUS for 8 years and HRC won the Dem....

A friend wo kept chickens used fake eggs to lure the hens into laying real ones.

It surprising, but not really outlandish that they exist there. They are mentioned in the Bible being there, and are like rats in that they multiply very fast if hunted aggressively. I do not buy the fact that they killed militia-men armed with automatic rifles. Maybe local farmers who were sympathe...

What is the peep-sight set up on the 218 Bee?

junkbug

I believe they were originally developed for a police style shotgun made in Turkey called the "Poseidon" which held a large number or rounds. It could only use these size shells and was not popular. I use then in a loose sxs I am afraid to shoot anything else in. They really do have very l...

How does FOX fit in here?

I would also like to know if they will inadvertently discharge if the action is operated with the hammer down. I know a Sharps reproduction cartridge carbine would fire upon raising the lever if the hammer was not at least at half-cock. I did this only once.

West Virginia is certainly famous for caves. If I was with someone who was better than myself at rigging ropes, I would go down it. If the air coming out is warm, it may just be a shallow system. Are you over limestone bedrock?

junkbug

Are you a caver, or know any? Some of my old friends live to find places like that. Does it blow cool air?

Part of the reason was they had access to very inexpensive WWII surplus, like new 13.1mm German aircraft machinegun barrels. These were cut and turned down to fit, and very few people were happy with the results. Thus yours has alreasy been re-lined.

I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but I have Marlin 1895 LTD III, that I bought new in 2000. It has an 18.5" octagonal barrel, ballard rifling, and full length magazine tube. In 45-70 of course. I honestly wonder why they were not more popular when they were made, except for t...

Is that a rear sight base by the slug Nath?

I am truly sorry for your loss and will continue to pray. Perhaps it is even harder to loose a spouse than a parent.

Godspeed to her.

You have my condolences. My Dad was also a WWII vet, and would turn 90 this year; but he passed away in 2008 from lung cancer complications. He was my role model and best friend. Our world is a poorer place with the passing of their generation.

I'm not sure, but I believe that is the original Leupold forward mount from the early 1970'. Made to go with one of their early long eye relief scopes. The barrel had to be drilled and tapped for this mount. They are not often encountered today, but I do not know if they are collectible. Always had ...

Around 2000 or 2001, I was told by an Englishman that it was still legal, to that day, for an Englishman to shoot a Welshman with a longbow within 100 yard of Yorkshire Cathedral.

I really like your winter hat. Is that a version of the "Rough Riders" hat, which I believe is actually 1885 US Army field hat? Or is it something else? I have been meaning to get one of those, but without trying it on, I will not spend the money one costs. I believe I will have to go to G...

What is the muzzle blast like with the .327 mag ammo?

I have a Rem 14 in .35 Remington that I have hardly fired. For some reason, I seem to worry about cracking the pistol grip, as I have seen many with this flaw. Mine no longer has its original sights. I does have a nice vintage folding peep rear, and an older aftermarket tall front sight. I would lik...

I would offer to test them in my Navy Arms Schofield with a 5" barrel in 44-40. However, the opportunities for me to shoot at much more than paper are slim. Neither do I have access to a Choronograph, so in all likelyhood, I might have trouble getting them to go to 800 fpd from the muzzle, and ...

I bought that set up from Cabela's, just as you see it. It is call something like "Muzzleloader sling".

The man was gravely injured in the service of his country. I will not judge him. May he rest in peace.

The choice is certainly yours to make. For some reason, I would keep the top one, the 33 Win lightweight, short magazine, peep sight and all. It just follows my tastes.

I am not certain, but I would treat Kynoch as if it were corrosive surplus ammo. Yes, I would use it, but just be more diligent with your cleaning.
