I'm not sure intelligence and antagonizing a hippo can be listed as normal.

Availability of ammo most concerns me with a four gun battery, here would be my choice: Marlin Model 60 22lr BLR .308 Winchester Win 1300 12guage two barrels 24" and 28" S&W Model 15 38 Special. I think having the availability of ammo used by the local governments or military would kee...

I have been married for the big 50yrs and one of the secrets I think that will make marriages last longer is to make sure she has her own TV with all the latest channels. I'm sure I would have been gone a long time ago if I would have had to watch a steady diet of love propaganda that she watches. N...

Thanks a lot guy for your answers and the food for thought. I don't know why the Russians did what the did, but the old Mosin Nagant is still around and in use by some countries. Probably the design is over 100yrs old.

The Russian M44 Mosin Nagant has the barrel that is 18.5" long and they turn the barrel back and press a steel outer barrel on it that makes the rifle 21.5 and 22" long. They then add sights and a bayonet on the barrel. The piece is soldered, pressed and pinned. But the 18.5" barrel s...

I'm asking a dumb question so nobody get mad, I just have this thought and I will ask you guys about it. Can a guy make and 4 or 5" extension with very tight tolerances and mounted well so no movement can occur, with a hole of say .320 vs a rifle hole of .308. If this is added would this increa...

Got a yellow jacket sting on my index finger one year going to Alasksa stopped and brushed something off of the camper screen unfortunately it was a yellow jacket. Only got me on the one finger and not a full load but it was at least double size for about five days and then the pain starting going a...

1851 Adams blackpowder double action pistol. I'll bet you think S&W had the first DA but they didn't. This revolver was made in London, England and used by the British Army in several conflicts.

Finally figured out how to get the darn wart safety off of my Win.94 Big Bore .356, well thanks to a gentleman on this website "Mark" I got it off and put two small 1/4" plastic caps in the hole and now it looks like a real Winchester. Even with the safety off you cannot drop the rifl...

If you have never owned a BLR than you can't judge. I have owned them all the the BLR wins hands down.

Just a little attempt at levity, It might work the other way but surely not the way l proposed.
I think I will just bow out of this discussion as its gone to far anyway. Have a good evening gents and a great tomorrow.

Well I solved my problem today, I took my .356 Winchester and re-chambered it to .358 Winchester. Now I can shoot .358 Winchester ammo in it.

Here is some interesting data from the Hodgdon Manual dated 1992 Manual 26. Page 425, .356 Winchester 20" Barrel, COL doesn't say but has to be between 2.530 2.560 fps as shown in picture 48grs Bl-C(2) 2163 fps. doesn't say CUP. Page 429, .358 Winchester 26", Barrel COL doesn't say but has...

The question is" What is the point" The point is we have two leverguns that are the same except for the rheteroic one was made for tube magazines and one was made for drop out magazines. You load the tube with flat nose bullets so they don't blow up in the tubes, flat now against primer. N...

Who voted for these guys, not me for sure.

Goat, Thank you for the reply, another question I have is since both rounds are rated for 52,000 CUP that means (to me) they are the same aren't they? Same size both have the same CUP pressure and to what I have been reading the Win 94 AE is the strongest of the lever rifles in that area. Really con...

i had an interesting thing happen today with my .356 Win Model 94AE. I had heard that some of the Win 94's .356 would fire and eject .358 Brass. The only difference I had seen was the case head on the .358Win is .473 vs .506 on the .356Win. or .033 larger on the .356. I thought I would put an unload...

Looks like the Marlin Owners board is down. They must need a new computer.

Sometimes when you get a little older if you don't use a scout scope or something like it you don't go hunting anymore. I have a little 30-30 that has a scout scope on it and it makes up for lots of blurring that I now have.

I don't carry anything and don't think I ever will. I wouldn't mind having one in the car for travel. That could be a real problem as to what states honor each others CCW. If I was to carry one I would use my German Makarov 9mm. Not that its to heavy or to light but it shoots so well and straight. N...

I understand how you feel and feel sorry for you guys. Best thing you can do is to sell the land to a minority pig farmer. I think that will even things up.
