Good luck and travel safe. I well remember those days. We moved 14 times in 23 years in the Air Force. Never regretted it. My wife could take the house apart in a few days and put it back togeather again at the other end in the same time. If you are heading to Ft Wayne you will only be an hour south...

Hey,

How come they put that funny looking lever on the side?

Hey Hobie,

Nice set up. Thanks for the view!

Growing up in Baltimore, MD I did not come from a family that owned guns or hunted. That Changed after I joined the Air Force in 68. Bought a Ruger 357 Blackhawk and a Remington 870 while at a remote site in Alaska. Won a Remington BDL in 30-06 while I was there too. That was the start of a lifelong...

How about a gun that shoots those little suction cup darts with a little roll out banner attached that says...."Here's your sign!"

Hey OI,is it okay to bring a friend? He has a way cool Winchester 94 Wrangler in 32 Winchester Special.

Obviously we are a very "clingy" group

Ya Know, I looked in the safe and I noticed way more levers then bolts. The bolts sre disappering and the levers are multiplying. Also noticed the same phenomenum going on with the wheels and bottom feeders. Way more wheels then bottom feeders. Maybe its my age

Boomer45

Just got back from my business trip and as usual took a few spare minutes to check out some lever guns at one of the shops I was near. They had a lot of Winchester 94's, all in 30-30. Lots of Marlins also, 2 45-70's, several 336 30-30's, 3 444's and 3 35 Remingtons. What caught my eye first was the ...

Nice report Joe. Too bad about the wind and JD45's rifle. I always hate it when the wind blows and you are out trying to shoot. What can I say...,.IT BLOWS

Boomer45

JP_TX, Thanks for the reply. I dis-assembled the 444 and checked everything out. Looked okay other then needing some cleaning. Load up some Speer 270GR JSP bullets using 43.5 grains of IMR4198 w/CCI LR primers. It was raining so I did not fire for accuracy but only for function. Everything worked ju...

Well, it's been a great week. Was in Pennsylvania last weekend and found a nice 1980 model Marlin 336 in 35 Remington for $260. Needless to say, this came back to Michigan with me. Now today, went to Gander Mountain here in town and got my Marlin 444 off lay away. Both have been stripped down and cl...

I also have an"M" and an "A". The "M" used to belong to an older friend of mine. He bought back in 66. I bought it from him a couple of years ago as his eyesight had pretty much gone and he was no longer able to shoot. The "A" i got from my father-in-law. Same...

Hey Sixgun, I thought it was bad when we had 11 yorkies but 15! WoW. We are down to 4 now. Those dogs sure do love to kill moles and birds and such. Our oldest female will stalk a bird just like a cat. We have to watch her. She is the one that lost the fight with a skunk. Our oldest male is 10 and h...

Have to agree that the first choice would be the Freedom Arms revovler. That is one very high quality firearm. If you can find a Ruger Accusport Bisley 45 Colt I would grab it. Stainless w/5 1/2 inch barrel and an extra 45 ACP cylinder. They can take the hot 45 loads with no problem

darn Guys, You all just made my day. This is one funny post.

Boomer45

Scary stuff for sure. Too many brain dead bureaucrats running loose and making decision on things that they really don't understand

Good evening Gentlemen, Since I now have a Marlin 444 on lay-a-way (which I hope to have home in just a few weeks) I am starting to accumulate some reloadings supplies for it. Bought 200 Remington cases and just bought 2 boxes (50 ea.) of Speer 270 GR GDSP bullets. Would like some suggestions on oth...

Boomer45

This is a hunt I would definitly like to do, just too short of notice for me. If you have one coming up at a later date I would be interested. Maybe one of the other guys from this area would like to go also. We could team up and share travel expenses.

Boomer

Boomer45

Okay OI,

Count me in. How about either the 1st or 3rd Saturday in May. The 3rd Saturday is Armed Forces Day (for us ORF). Ist or 3rd Saturday in June would be good also. Anything I can do to assist please let me me.

Boomer

Boomer45

I agree. Sounds like a great day to me.

Started out shooting compound bows about 17 years ago. Migrated to the recurve 10 years ago and haven't looked back. Currently have 2 recurves and my original compound.

Boomer45

Used a Redding for the las 15 years. I like it for trimming cases down below or no quite to standard length. Started using the Lee case trimers recently. Great little tool, inexpensive and it works great to trim cases to standard length.

Good on Ya OI. I agree that she will be one happy lady, not only to have someone to go shooting with but also for the memories that it will bring back. God Bless you Sir!

Hey Guys, A quick update. Was at my local Gander Mountain yesterday and they had a newer (CBS) Marlin 444 in pretty good shape on the rack. the price was not bad at $359.00. Asked if there was any wiggle room and got it for $319.99. It is now on lay away. Looks like I better get some reloading dies,...

Boomer45

Thanks for all the input guys. I got some news yesterday that precludes gun purchases for awhile. Dealing with some legal issues that should be resolved soon. So the bad news is that I am not going to purchase either right now. If one or the other is still available in 2-3 weeks then I will purchase...

I go thru a lot of 2400. I really like it. I use the old "Keith" load of 18.5grs of 2400 under a 255gr lead SWC. Great general purpose load. Powerful yet easy on the guns. I only shoot this load in my Ruger Bisley SBH and my Marlin 1895 Cowboy. I just started using 2400 in my 357s so I don...

1. I like my cornbread with--Chili, Butter, Beans & Rice, Stew of any kind. 2. Jiffy mix is great. However, as already stated, bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet pre-heated in a 350 degree oven. Use 2 eggs instead of the one that they call for on the package. Comes out nice and brown on the ...

Thanks guys for the input. I will probably make the decision today. It's nice to know that there are knowledgable friends here who can be counted on to provide serious input on these weighty decisions. I appreciate it very much.

Don't have access to the picture right now as my Mom has it but it was Christmas 1955, I was 5 years old sitting on the curb in front of our house in Baltimore, MD.

I have to admit, it is a tough decision for me. I like the fact that the 35 Remington can be downloaded with pistol bullets for woodchucks and such but I also like the big boomers. I have a Marlin 336 in 30-30 and a Savage 99 in 300 Savage, (my first gun) but the 35 Remington just seems right. Sure ...

While out on business today I had the chance to stop and look at a few used guns. Found a very nice Marlin 444 (pre -safety, Micro-groove Barrel) in very good condition, $449.00. On the same rack was a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington, also in very good condition, pre-safety for $329.00. I would like to b...

Just saw your message, been on the road all day. Sounds good to me. I will make plans to be there.

I have been looking for a 38/357 levergun to go with my Accusport Bisley SBH in 357mag and stumbled on to this one today while picking up some reloading supplies. It is a Rossi saddlering carbine in 357 mag. No safety. The receiver blueing looks like a deep purple color. I have no experience with th...

As we have seen in the recent past, it is the gun free zones, i.e. college campusus, churches, national parks, etc. where the criminals are looking to wreak there havoc because they feel safe in those environs as guns are not legally permitted. These gun free zones are not "crime free zones&quo...

Occasionally one of the coon dogs will take it into their mind to stretch a skunk. I always carry a bottle of XO with me. Great stuff and works extremely well. Do a google search for "XO" if you think you might need some.

Okay, so I am finding that used BLR's around these parts are about non existant. Stopped at one of my favorite gunshops on the way into town today and they had 2 Winchester 1895s in 30-06 which looked and felt nice but had no provisions for scope mounting. They also had a straight stock BLR. Felt ok...

Boomer45

Thanks for the replys so far. I am interested in the 30-06 BLR because I have 2 other 06 rifles. I'm trying to get rid of my odd caliber stuff and keep my long gun loading down to 223, 30-30, 30-06, 300 Savage, 45-70. Pistols have been pared down to 9mm, 38/357, 45 Colt. With prices going up on relo...

Yeah, difinitly mid-life crisis. I have done the same thing. Last year I hunted deer with my Ruger Accusport Bisley 45. Got a nice Doe at about 30 yards. What a blast.
