Thank you sir .. I will amend the email ....

(edit) - I do not know if this is true or not. It was sent by a friend who does not send garbage .. but it did come over the internet so it is suspect until proven ..... jimt Tuesday, April 8, the Assembly Public Safety Committee will consider legislation that would require gun owners to obtain a &...

I'd like to be FIT enough to FINISH well.

JimT

Don't put it off. If you keep delaying it you will never go. This year it's this, next year it's that. One day you wake up and you are sucking on an oxygen bottle and somone is changing your diaper.

Re-arrange your priorities and do it while you can.

You will not regret it.

JimT

There is legislation up right now to extend the CCW expiration date to 6 years. You might encourage your legislators to go with this one.

JimT

JFPO .. yes. Thank you. They publish quite a few things other organizations won't. I remember they had a huge billboards with that message ..DIAL 911 AND DIE put up around various cities at one time. They got a lot of flak over it. None of them disparange 911 or the service that it is. They just tel...

JimT

Someone should do a study on how many people were killed during or after calling 911, but before the police arrived. Then do a cover story in Time. One of the gun rights organizations has done something like that .. it's a book called "DIAL 911 AND DIE". I will have to look for it. EDIT -...

The thread about primer indications of pressure made me dig out some of the old stuff. http://www.leverguns.com/web/primer1.jpg Which cartridge had the highest pressures? http://www.leverguns.com/web/primer2.jpg The one on the left was a factory 210 gr. load fired in a .44 Magnum. The middle one was...

JimT

If primer flow is not a pressure sign does that make it safe to ignore it?, or what should I do about it? IF it is not locking the gun up or making it hard to rotate the cylinder, and IF the loads are well under Maximum, and IF it is not noticable unless one happens to look closely at the primers ....

JimT

In my case, it's the gun. I look at it as normal for it. I get really deep primer strikes and a little flow on any spicy load that flattens the primers. 110, 296, 2400, Lil'gun.... The same loads do not flow in other guns. I could probably stone the pin a little and peen the firing pin hole, but I'...

JimT

THANK YOU Joe!! That was great.

JimT

Primers are a VERY POOR indicator of excessive pressure. It is common to have "primer flow" when other conditions exist. It does not necessarily indicate high pressures. If you look at the primers from cartridges that blew guns apart, often the primer looks normal. Starting in the 1930's L...

At CSA I will be bringing the Marlin Model 94 .32-20 that I have remodeled and worked over. It has the one-peice firing pin as well as the Ludwig croos-bolt safety replacement ... and some other tricks. I have plenty of ammo. The gun will be there for anyone to shoot who wants to. If you have never ...

AK Church dropped by the ranch this morning. He had an interesting old shotgun with him, a Stevens Model 315. He used this very gun to stop a vicious attack by a Red Squirrel and reported that it worked quite well. He donated the gun to the Mission to Mozambique. I will have it with me at CSA and w...

JimT

AGREED!

JimT

My opinion .. http://theanswerorg.wordpress.com

JimT

I have seen old 22 rifles with 2 or 3 rings in them. Often they shot quite well, especially if any ring was not near the muzzle.

JimT

I think tom Horn got convicted of shooting with a 45/90 and he said that the shot that he was convicted of could not have been made And there is a good chance that the 30/30 wasn't even in exisstance then! bob :) Sorry Bobbyjack .. You are mistaken on all counts. The .30-30 had been manufactured fo...

JimT

..... hopefully the intimidation factor of the shotgun comes into play and you never need to actually pull the trigger.... ~Michael The "intimidation factor" as you put will either work with any firearm or with none. If a person isn't intimidated when you pull a .22 pistol they won't be w...

JimT

Ji - Does Hawaii have a "castle doctrine" law? If not you guys need to start working on your legislators. As I posted, if that is in place, and if you have a case of justifiable use of force, there are no worries about lawsuits. As I have said before also, if a person is worried about laws...

As far as no one ever being prosecuted or had selection of ammunition or use of reloads being used against them in a court trial; I was able to find ref. to New Jearsy vs. Daniel N. Bias. Daniel Bias's case was a suicide. He reported that his wife shot herself with his gun. He had it loaded with ha...

Jim, I don't think the fear is from a DA, but from a jury in a civil case after the DA refuses to charge you......(that, BTW, should be a crime in itself, that double jeprody BS of a civil suit when there is no legal guilt :evil: ) I am sure you are correct. And that is why everyone needs to get th...

JimT

I am surprised that so many on here, disagree with this, as it has been taught extensively in classes on lethal defense for over twenty years. I remember back in the 70's and before when people like Bill Jorden used to advise people on handloads for self defense, and back then it was common practic...

Any round - shotgun or otherwise - that is effective at stopping an assailant will not be slowed down much by sheetrock. If you have never set up sheetrock and fired into it you really need to do so .. with a number of different types of guns and ammo. #6 or #8 shot will still go completely through,...

Regan Nonneman does them www.leveractions.com

JimT

To answer the question that started this thread: Use whatever is the most reliable in your firearm. Accuracy, power, and all those other things are useless if you cannot rely on the gun to function properly each time it is fired and the action cycled. Questions of overpenetration are fine for discus...

JimT

I will bring my Marlin to the CSA and anyone who cares to shoot it may do so.

JimT

I have been hunting with revolvers since the early 1960's. Now - late in life

- I am learning to shoot a scoped rifle!

But I still like to hunt with a sixgun.

JimT

Now boys .. if you have never tried one all you can do is guess. I have tried them and compared them and yes, they DO make the action noticably smoother. But ... they are designed for CAS .. for "race" guns... I would NOT use them for hunting or self-defense guns. As has been stated, the ...

How well will they group? will they shoot any where near as tight as a full bore bullet? Groups fired with Factory loads from Model 94 Winchester, using a rolled-up carpet on the hood of my 4WD for a rest, all with open sights. All are 3-shot groups. 50 yards Remington 55 gr. Accelerator 1" Fe...

I took a friend's wife out for Javelina. She used an old Model 94 Winchester 30-30 with a side-mounted scope. She had it loaded with Accelerators. She whacked a nice boar at a bit over 100 yards. Excellent bullet placement, right through heart and lungs. Bits of rib from the right side were blown th...

The nut on the stock is the weak part.

So in the article Paco doesn't list a velocity for the 125 grain bullet w/ 13 grains of 2400. would anybody like to take a guess as to what kind of speeds he's getting out of that? I'm thinking about 1600 FPS. Looks to me like that's right up there with a .357 Mag. Rusty <>< Out of my Marlin 32-20 ...

JimT

Congratulation boys! Your replies were very nice. That's one of those questions that could be answered with: "For those that understand, no explanation is necessary." It's like the .44 Special, the 44-40, 38-40 and a host of other "unnecessary" cartridges. Some of them just stir...

Well .. the latest one has my picture in it.

If that is a recommendation.

JimT

Is the Speer manual very conservative in their recommendations? After Omark bought Speer in 1975, they became more conservative on many loadings. My friend Alan Jones was the Editor of the last couple Speer Manuals and worked on some of the others. One of the things they did was switch from using p...

The best line in any movie I've seen in a long time comes from Monte Walsh: "I don't think you understand how little I care." I'd like to see the one with Lee Marvin again as a point of reference. Rusty <>< I like the Lee Marvin one the best. Selleck does an excellent job, but I think the...

You should be asking, "How Good can I get?" and "What do I have to do to get there?" To compare your skills with others in a friendly environment, you need to attend one of the CSA gatherings and see how others do. Use some of their guns, let them use yours and I think you will ...
