What about those Americans (some of you doubtless included) who fundamentally believe that women should not be allowed to have abortions? Who says you are right and that you should dictate to others? The whole "right to an abortion" deal is based on the premise that a woman's choice to ki...

Very cool. I had no clue there were moose in Colorado. I need to get out more. They started the modern moose season about 20 some years ago. IIRC a friend of mine accompanied a friend of his on the first modern day moose hunt in Colorado. That would have been in 1985 I believe. If you want to be in...

Each locality is different. Some SERIOUSLY frown on the carrying of bladed weapons. Texas comes to mind. I think friends from down there have commented that a knife is a "no, no" by state law. Still, I carry a knife all the time, or nearly so. Actually, three or more. Folders, but they wor...

Looks like we have really deviated from the lever topic forum here with this thread. :shock: Someone please enter a picture of there 9422 then we will be back on track. :wink: Well, I've no lever action squirrel rifles, but EVERYONE knows that the single action's the next best thing (or better). So...

Hey Paul... just how much of your bandwidth is this thing using up every month? More out of curiosity than anything, though I do toy with the idea of leaving Disc Sewer and it's pop ups for Savage24. (though I don't know if that change would be welcome) cas, hit me on the e-mail if you'd like to di...

And the best reason of all is that maybe someone has a ghost of a chance to keep up with Hobie's post count :P :lol: Yeah, right! Ysabel Kid's giving you a run for your money. Better step lively or he'll take your crown! He's only 30 posts behind you at the time of this posting... :shock: 8) :lol:

I like the open format of this temporary forum, and the regular forum. However I have to say I like this format better. Instead of the stickies and maybe a half dozen threads on the first page like we have on the regular forum, here we have many threads. I find it much easier to browse and monitor ...

Topic drift!

What topic drift?

Isn't any topic worthy of discussing also worthy of drifting a bit?

IMHO, every person who posts a photo wider than 800 pixels should be sentenced to one month of using a laptop on a dialup connection. :evil: Dang, Junior! :shock: You've got a MEAN streak in you! :P I'd go a step further and say "An Old 286 IBM Laptop with monochrome CGA..." :twisted: Now...

Dang, Junior!

You've got a MEAN streak in you!

What's the generally accepted size for posting pics on this forum? I'd like to share on this forum. Regards 640 X 480 will do. So will 800 X 600. The smaller size works OK on older VGA machines, but most folks today have the capability of viewing the larger size. And some of us can view full size 3...

Red Sox Win in a shutout!!! Well, I figure it's best to stay on good terms with the wife. She's never shut me out, well there was that one time but she claimed it was an accident. And I don't think that the color of my socks had anything to do with it. IIRC I was wearing good ol' Hanes gray work so...

RED SOX!!! [/b] Is this part of the "Wear Red On Friday" political thing? And why red sox? :shock: (most folks spell it socks). A red tie would be easier to match things with. A red shirt could be worn with jeans or slacks or even shorts (if you've got the legs and weather to pull it off)...

I believe the vet should not have tampered with someone else's flag. He has the right to fly his own flag at his house or from his car. Well, the way they had it rigged, he HAD to mess with their flag to get his flag out of a bad situation. If they didn't want their flag messed with they shouldn't ...

I'd like to see a separate classifieds forum so that the items for sale trade etc. don't get snowed under by the regular posts. However... that's the only separate forum I'd vote for. I enjoy all of the OT posts, range reports, new guns, tech questions etc. etc. The collection of various types of p...

Ok - Who voted 20X ? :lol: :lol: :wink: I want to know why the other 100 views didn't vote. :wink: This is to get an opinion so at least vote. Even a "I could care less" vote helps get an idea on public opinion. And Pete? You have to be signed in in order to vote. And since you're signed ...

That's a pretty good question. We do seem to have a lot of WTS, WTT, WTB, threads and they do get spread out a bit. With the exception of this forum and the style that the Frontier Six Shooter forum runs under, all the other forums I belong to have separate sections for the classifieds. And separat...

Guys, your e-mail address on file is bouncing. I attempted to contact you via e-mail to let you know, but your e-mail address on file is bouncing. If you know that already, fine. Anyway I went in an deactivated the private message notification in your profiles and also the automatic "let me kno...

Seems to me that while you are all taking the rancher for a fool for being honest no one has mentioned the "good ole boys" that balls'd up the shooting and then ran the wounded wolf over with an ATV !!! Yep, they loused up too. I can't imagine running over a wolf and pinning it with an AT...

I have to wonder why such a person would get involved in ranching to begin with.....romantic fascination? And I don't mean that in a homosexual or beastiality way. That's probably it. The Good Lord knows where he got his money, but something lead him to think "Ranching's for me!" and he d...

Here is part of the problem: In a written statement, Lang called the pup's death "an honest mistake" and said: "I accept ultimate responsibility for this event because I set a tone that proved to be too aggressive. I also accept responsibility for any lapses in the training of my ran...

DennisB wrote:I believe it's a Marlin.

Dennis, (or anyone else) do you have a picture of an early Marlin you could post? I'd like to take a look at it, just for grins. But if you look at the proportions, that's one LONG THIN forearm on that rifle - for a levergun.

I pulled it in for a closer look, I see nothing inconsistant with a Winchester 94 rifle. Did Winchester market a Model '94 with a magazine tube that much smaller than the barrel? Take a look at the proportions. That "mag tube" would work for 22 LR (and the 9422 was still not on the market...

Whatever the gun was, it was a stage setting with a stuffed deer and the rifle was a prop. Somehow I doubt it. At the beginning of the 20th century there was not the technology yet to create large pictures such as would be necessary for such a backdrop. Methinks the "lack of depth" is mor...

I did the same thing as AmBraCol, and I got the oposite impression. It looks to me like a lever gun. The magazine tube is flat on the muzzle end, the band just to it's rear is pure tube mag shape. The forearm cap looks Marlin to me, and just under his coat cuff I can see what looks to be the front ...

I downloaded it to my desktop, blew it up in Windows Picture And Fax viewer and took a good look. Yep, it DOES look like he's got a smoke in his left hand. AND I'm pretty sure (90% or better) that that's no "levergun" he's holding. It sure 'nough looks like a muzzle loading rifle once you ...

You guys crack me up, do you seriously mean non of you dress like that to go hunting?? :D Sure. As one returns from church on Sunday and sees that buck of a lifetime across the field... Who am I kidding? A bolo's as close to a tie as I get even when preaching anymore. I seriously distrust folks who...

A lot of old pictures show people dressed up in a nice shirt and tie when they went hunting. Bowhunting pictures of Pope and Young seem to feature this quite a bit. Even Fred Bear was often seen in the woods with his famous bolo tie on. Maybe that's where the term "slob hunter" came from?...

Welcome to the virtual campfire. The guys are pointing you right. I too have an old '94 that's a family heirloom. It was my grampa's and he passed it on to me 9 years ago. It's a 50's production gun also but in 30 WCF instead of 32 WS Anyway, keep it original (sounds like you're leaning that way any...

I guess you know you can rechamber that .30 BH to .32-20 and shoot cowpincher ammo in it. The lead bullets swage right down and it shoots great. Now you can tell your wife how much money you saved! :roll: Thanks for the info, but I think I'll still get a 32-20 Uberti like I originally planned. My W...

OK.

Well, don't be to quick to jump all over them. There IS a piece of good stuff in spite of the idiocy and ignorance. Like we say around here, "eat the corn and toss the cob" - and that's mostly cob there but for a couple of kernels that are well worth latching onto: Let's repeal the tax on ...

Hobie's advanced a pay grade. Now pulling twice his former wages. And he is pitching in to keep the registrations and such running smoothly. We greatly appreciate the time and effort he dedicates to keeping the place in ship shape. As mentioned, you can e-mail Hobie or me if you need help in getting...

(I do have five 5 gallon pails filled with lead mesh from batteries, but will probably not touch them, disheartened with battery lead) Be careful - EXTREMELY careful of that battery lead. If it's modern battery lead then it could contain some highly toxic materials - especially when smelting and pe...

So, Hobie - what's with the titles ("levergunner", "pilgrim"), and how does one add his picture to his name on the left hand side of a post? Not that any of you want to see my ugly mug, but it is kinda cool seeing who we're talking to! 8) Uh, I ain't Hobie, but here's some addit...

That's scary, Hobie has an Avatar and it looks just like him! :shock: Okay, I'll bite. What the heck is an "Avatar"? I thought that was one of my kid's cartoons!!! Well, I'm not up on the modern cartoon scene but the "avatar" is an image that can be uploaded to one's profile on ...

I didn't realize NC was so backwards with its permitting system for handguns. Long guns don't require paperwork. Incidentally, I've been told the pistol purchase permit was instituted back in the day so that sheriffs could keep guns out of the hands of minorities so there wouldn't be any insurrecti...

That's scary, Hobie has an Avatar and it looks just like him!

Welcome aboard, Ken N and all the rest of you too. Just thought I'd mention we've got 500 registered usernames. Not all have posted and we've whacked an un-numbered quantity of spammers as well.

They have to be expanding ammo over here but for some reason they (big brother ) who controlls the gun licences over here don,t think that lead makes bullets expanderble :roll: I have argued with them many times pointing out that the common material used in an expanding bullet is lead but they stil...

What do you mean by "metric"? I hear that England has gone to zinc alloy wheelweights, and if you're casting zinc instead of lead based, you're going to have problems.

And another thing. Balloon head brass (if that's what you found) makes for dandy black powder loading. :-) That balloon head allows a couple more grains of powder to be crammed into the case. The only way you'll ever be able to replicate the old 40 grains of black powder in the 45 colt for example i...

While scrounging in the brass bucket last week at the range, I found some 38 spl brass that looks to be fairly old. The headstamp is Peters. I also found some with the headstamp REM-UMC and one with Western. Anybody heard of Peters? Thanks, Tony Remington bought up a lot of other ammo companies in ...

The Ranger, the Cook and a Hole in the Sky am i right???? Now I'm intrigued. I saw that movie in the video store in the US last year, but never got 'round to renting it. And they don't have such movies around here very often. :( Maybe they'll have it on special at chinamart or ??? next time I'm up ...

Is it possible that the bore could be dirty and need to be cleaned? Yeah, what Jerry said. :-) Only I'd suggest looking at the Outers Foul Out machine. It will lift old fouling right off the barrel metal and take it back to "as new" or as close to as new as is possible. You'll have to do ...

hello im looking for help Ineed a box of nonlead ammo for my marlin 30-30 any help would be great hunts this weekend thanks Your best bet would be to load up some Barne's bullets over an appropriate dose of powder. There maybe factory loaded ammo with Barnes bullets, but I've never come across any....

Guys, the least you could do is set up a junk, throwaway e-mail address.
