I'm with cable. I have found a combination of 12 ga. - .357 and .45 Colts really repairs them just fine.

Freedom Arms was successfully sued recently. Partially successful, the judge awarded a settlement in which the plaintiff had to pay half (because of stupidity) and FA had to pay the other half. I don't recall the amount. Yes .. there was some confusion among jury members if I remember correctly, ab...

The Modle 97 has a transfer bar that works just like all transfer bars. The Model 83 has a sliding block that goes between the hammer and the frame. To activate it the hammer is pulled about 1/8" or a bit more to the rear, just lifting it off the receiver, and then lowered into place. (EDIT) Wh...

While this is a nice sentiment, quite frankly our problems run much deeper. Republicans feel that ANY Republican is better than a Democrat. So they will back an anti-gun pro-abortion Sociallist Republican over an anti-gun pro-abortion Socialist Democrat. The Democrats feel that ANY Democrat is bette...

Mr. Davis was with us on last year's Safari. He used the Hornady LeveRevolution factory ammo. It worked just find on Wildebeest and Warthog.

He also took a Bison here in the States using it. He got complete penetration side to side on the Bison.

I have an Ithaca Model 49 in .22 Mag --- power level in penetrating steel is about like a .357 out of a sixgun. There is no comparison to the .22 Long Rifle. When fired from a long gun the .22 Magnum shines. It is a totally different creature than when fired from a sixgun. They are more expensive to...

Very good Jim. On a sidenote, there was a guy yesterday who was filmed by surveilance video toting a whole suitcase full of knives and a meat cleaver to an upscale psychiatrists office. Chopped her up dead and nearly killed her companion who came to her aid. Another "gun free" zone of cou...

I enjoyed meeting you. I felt bad that I had to leave early and not meet the rest of the crew who came in. Looks like everyone had a grand time.

JimT

Thank you sir .. I cannot take any credit. I went to school. The School of Hard Knocks. I could have been as self-righteous as some others but things happened to me to make me realize I was no better and sometimes not half as good as some of the folks I was talking to. I am still in School by the w...

Hang on to something with one hand, shoot with the other. That's why you use a pistol in space.

I have been propelled backwards by some firearms while still on earth!

It would be fun shooting downward and watching the fireball as it entered the atmosphere. Super Tracers!

I shot 410's in my friend's Ttapdoor when we were kids. Worked OK on rabbits if the distance wasn't too far.

God Bless and Have a GREAT hunt! TAKE PICTURES!!! please ....

Welcome back Jim, So. Mo got hit pretty hard this time, we usually get the messy stuff up here north of the river, but seems like more has been south. One of these days I'd like to meet you, only 4 hrs. down there C'mon down. 'course it's kinda nasty right now. It was 75 degrees in Texas. I woke up...

I had to leave early .. left Sunday AM ... missed the auction and don't know what happened. I believe that 86r will let us know.

JimT

Where the heck are the moderators? This kind of nonsense is exactly what is changing this forum for the worse. Hunting. Shooting. He deleted the link. Let it go. There should not have been any posts after he deleted it. Why keep things alive? Go out and shoot up some tin cans. You'll feel better.

Made it back to Missouri this evening. Left Texas and 75 degrees .. came home to ice and snow - 20 degrees. The roads were clear and we made good time. Fungus Sam and I attended the Leverguns Hog Hunt. Fungas Sam shot a pig the first night with his Browning Model 1895 in .30-06. I saw LOTS of game b...

In the early AM (7 Feb.) ... those of you coming down for the hunt .. be safe on the roads, in the skies, where ever. See you there. Not sure I will have internet access but will try to post something about the hunt. Once we do the Leverguns Hunt, Fungus Sam and I are heading up north of Abilene for...

We have had bullets come back hard enough to cut people from near 100 yards. If you used steel it would have to be steeply angled to deflect the bullets into the ground. That deflection reduces the cross-section you see by quite a bit, so it would have to be about twice the height you are figuring o...

Range and accuracy of both the .44 and the 357 are limited by the nut on the stock.

As to lever shotguns .. they are out there ... Marlin and Winchester leveractions in 410 ... modern-made reproductions of the old Winchester 1887 ...

LEARNING TO HIT THE TARGET

Joe - and everyone else who reads this -

I am not intelligent enough nor learned enough in the subject to advise anyone as to how they should vote.

I do suggest that everyone spend quite a bit of time on their knees asking for Divine help for this Nation of ours.

Now, Sir, why do you wish to take action that will hand America over to Socialists as opposed to a bad Republician? Just imaine the two SCOTUS replacements if Gore or Kerry had done the picking as opposed to Bush? Repent and Thin (the vote) No More :wink: I sorta had my tonque in my cheek on that ....

Jim - I couldn't agree more. McCain is no friend of the Second Amendment - or any other Amendment - or the Constitution as a whole. However, since we will elect a President this November - and it will be either the Dem (Hillary or Obama) or the GOP candidate (looking like McCain), Too much at stake...

JimT

Ysabel Kid - I would disagree with you about McCain. He is no better than Clinton or of the other anti-gunners. A sampler (I am sure you are aware of this from your affiliation with the pro-gun groups) Sen McCain voted for an amendment offered by the anti-gun Sen. Charles Schumer of New York that wo...

Bob Baker can be trusted to speak honestly about his experiences. I have spent time with him and count him as a friend and I trust his word. olgerboy is correct also, but let me add, shoot enough and you will wear the gun out. Most of the time folks don't shoot enough to do that. A .22 sixgun will e...
