Jim, do you know of anyone using Starlink internet over there? We have decent internet here but the Starlink kits are sold by at least three major retailers here in town. They're a big item for folks living outside of the main connection areas of the city. My understanding is that as long as you've ...

Also, the 25-35 Ackley Improved shows the most improvement in performance with a very usable extra powder space due to the very tapered body being blown out straight. I always kind of wanted a Marlin in 25-35 AI for a varmint levergun.

The "old family rifle" is a Winchester 64 in 25-35 that my uncles convinced my grandma to buy for them way back in the 20th Century. They successfully hunted every big game species in Arizona with that rifle using, as far as I know, factory ammo. It comes back to proper bullet placement an...

The following bit of reminiscence popped up as I was backing up some old hard drives... thought some of you might find it of interest. Memories From The Sertão The sun was still high as I climbed into my hammock. It was near four o’clock and I’d slung my hammock about three meters in the air in the ...

A few years ago Jim Williamson let me fireform a bunch of 22 K-Hornet through his ... Sako? rifle at the Whittington Center. Lovely rifle, fun to shoot caliber, very accurate setup. In a Contender pistol it'd make an interesting prairiepoodle popper.

Starting the cleaning process. Probably wont be done until end of the week as there are a couple of projects in front of this one. Did this a couple years ago with a Springfield 1922 M2. Pretty messy but is fun when all of the cartouches, barrel markings etc start showing up. Sounds like fun! Haven...

Feliz aniversario irmão! Que Deus te abençoe ricamente!

Can't help but wonder how that'd work through the 40th Anniversary Marlins.

Some of my favorite folks in those pics. Thanks for sharing!

My not making it to CSA reaches majority this year - 21 years since the boys and I made it to the one in Athens, TX. Fine, fond memories. Great folk. A great many have gone on over the river. It's always a blast to see the pics and vids and hear the stories!

Thanks for looking!

I like that long-barreled Single Six, Paul! I don't believe I've ever handled one. My Dad's is 6 1/2" but that looks like a 7 1/2? Maybe I am just looking at it wrong .... :roll: I think you've gotten too used to the short barrels... :lol: It's a standard OM SS with (I'm pretty sure) the 6 1/2...

Now you've gone and done it. Got me to cogitating on why I've never tried shorts in my OMSS... Shucks, just haven´t had much time with it in way too long. Back in '06 I DID get to shoot it considerably, but never with shorts. That year I did better with the Ruger than I did with the rifle on squirre...

You might try Target Talk, they have quite a few air rifle sights for sale there off and on.

Thanks. I was going through their adds but didn't see anything recent. Patience is key.

I'm trying to work a trade for a Feinwerkbau 600 10 meter rifle. Unlike the 300S I'm offering in exchange for it, it DOES have the front sight. BUT, just like the 300S I'm offering, it has no rear sight. Unlike the 300S it's not that easy to mount a scope due to the pellet loading mechanism. If any ...

Grant County, NM?

I came late to the party, "meeting" John Taffin on the forums of sixguns.com and sixgunner.com late in the 20th Century. Then meeting him in person at his home in Boise, ID in '01 - before the twin towers fell. He saw me struggling with the heavy loads I was given for my Ruger Vaquero and ...

John and Dot Taffin were kind and hospitable to me over the years. I really enjoyed getting to know him a bit in person as well as via the written word. I've missed his replies to our newsletter over the past several months. ONE COULD COUNT ON A BRIEF, TO THE POINT REPLY IN HIS TYPICAL STYLE. May Go...

Thanks! do you know Blackie's breed? His face resembles Ranger's . . . Shepherd Rottie cross . . . We picked up Biscuit 9 years ago, she's about 3/4 generic "pitbull" and 1/4 English bulldog - and 100% sweetest mutt you could ask for. But she didn't do good on her own and would serenade t...

Here's an example. I loaded them up to take them out to the gun club with me. Biscuit was looking happily over my shoulder and Blackie was sitting back as relaxed as she ever gets in the car (which isn't saying much, she loves to ride but sits stiffly the whole way). As soon as I got my cell phone u...

Here between the Canal and the Equator our winters are a bit different from those further north in the hemisphere, but they exist none the less! And last night we had a good one. I got up this morning to let the dogs have their morning sniff in the park across from the house and found the place floo...

The sophisticated design and execution of that design is amazing. And when you look at the time period - WOW! Many people today have NO idea how much can be done with "primitive tools". Thanks for sharing that with us.

Staffordshire, eh? Could you send me a nice terrier pup, please? Female, uncut ears and tail.

Our Biscuit is a Bulldog/Terrier mix. Lovely pet.

Apparently there was a Denial of Service attack that caused issues with everyone on the server. That accounts for the bad connections folks were experiencing a couple days back before they took us off the air.

Don't forget David Fagan. He actually does the heavy lifting while we stand around poking things with sticks.

OK, guys. Sorry for the down time. The hosting company unilaterally took us down due to alleged instability in the system. We're up for the moment and working on resolving the issues.

Good to see you still up and at 'em, Nath! Thanks for sharing the results of your hunts!!!

I'm fascinated by the old large format, glass negative cameras. I think it would be a real hoot to give it a try, but that's as far as I've gotten with it.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. I do differ in opinion with him on one matter, sometimes one is limited in what one can do and one can get decent results with less than optimal equipment. So far I've done three Taylor Throat jobs with a Taylor Throat reamer I picked up from Brownells near...

Thanks, guys. Bill, unfortunately I never learned to develop my own film. Resources were limited back then and we were doing good to come up with the $$ to develop the occasional film roll in town. But today's cameras are amazing in what they can do. I don't use photoshop, preferring to let the came...

Sheesh! What am I doing up here in the land of ice and snow? Well, I am getting some bullets cast and shells loaded while waiting for something approaching "shootin' weather". Nice pics Paul. And I'm here playing with airguns wishing I could do some casting and loading... such is life. :)...

Took the old Canon Rebel T3 out this morning to grab a few B&W shots, have been playing around with monochrome occasionally and find it gives a different feel from color photos. Sepia is also a nifty way of looking at the world around us. Anyway, for those of you facing chillier winter weather t...

Gone too soon. I get where you're coming from. The only time I know my dad lied to me was when he said "The best thing about turning 50 is you know you won't die young." He turned 50 three months before the Lord called him home. The weird thing is knowing that I'm "older than my own d...

Jim Maccari, the go to guy for air rifle spares. I've been buying from him for decades. 100% satisfaction.

Scott Tschirhart wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 8:20 am Nice trigger. Great sights. Gotta keep your booger hook off the trigger as there’s no other safety.

I like it.

This what I tell folks about a couple of my rifles. "The safety is between your ears - ENGAGE IT!"

HW makes some great rifles. That definitely looks like an older one, should have a decent, usable trigger. Nice for a low to mid power rifle. Their quality tends to beat out the chinese competition quite handily.

Don't know if you'd call it "development", but Jason Cloesner at Lipsey's has managed to get the manufacturers to produce guns that many of us want or at least find more interesting than the run of the mill plastic-fantastic that dominates much of the shooting world today. Then there's Tyl...

jeepnik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 12:07 am Yes, I know about that. But some forums when you open a topic it goes straight to the first unread post without any other manipulation necessary. Is that possible here?

Of that I have no idea. I think that's a Tapatalk feature, but don't know if there's a way for you to activate it here.

Using Chrome on a PC, at the top right corner of a post is a text link that says "First unread post". Click that and it goes right to it.

I enjoyed reading & pics on another site past few days of a guy in Alaska who'd recently taken Grizzlies with a beautiful old Mod 94 30-30, hunting them that is not a charging grizzly! But did a search on this, an often favorite topic, and found this, one I remember, and had to resurrect it, it...

I'm looking forward to seeing this project develop! I've been considering doing a 35 Whelen AI through them.

I'm sitting here in the office with the window open and the fan on, listening to the birds in the park across the street and wishing it would rain as we've been having to drag the hose out a few times a week to keep the flowers in front of the house going. With an over night low of 16* and a high of...

jeepnik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 3:35 pm You must remember. Regardless of what you pay to the post office, delivery is merely a suggestion. Often one best ignored. No refunds for failure to deliver on time are issued.

There's nothing like lack of accountability to ensure quality of product/service - or rather lack thereof.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family! I love the big breeds, but houses here are cramped, to say the least, not leaving much space for larger canines. A cane corso is up there on the "I wish I could" list, though. Folks thought I was jumping the gun when I had Biscuit (English...

First of the year we were sent a check for funds to pass on to a Christian school down in the llanos. It arrived last week in a plastic USPS baggie that stated "we care". It looked like the post office's guard dog's puppy had worked it over. The address was at least legible enough to get t...
