Sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

Done for all 3.

A very happy and healthy new year to all.

Back in the day, Savage also private labelled them for CIL when they were also selling firearms as well as ammunition.

Done!

Done. Sore back is no fun I have had a few go a rounds myself but no cutting yet. Hang in there.

Dropped her off at the butcher today. Field dressed weight on his scales 133 lbs. Not a bad size for a doe.

I was out sneaking around my friend's farm this morning to see if anything was around. I had been hunting his place almost all week. I missed one last Sunday and haven't seen anything since. I was very frosty this morning and the ground was frozen hard making walking sort of crunchy. I did my normal...

Serial number stamped on the end of the forearm matches rifle. A model T is apparently semi rare, yet all photos I have seen of the T model have a curved lever. I'll keep searching when i have time. Any ideas appreciated.

iceman

Thanks!!

Load data might be handy. I will probably shoot 170 gr jacketed as I don't cast my own. I have found brass at $80/100 new Privi brass. Getting more and more tempting to turn this into a winter project and redo the wood etc. I seem to be able to see the rear sight pretty well and it could just be my ...

My mistake in saying it is an EG (got to get these glasses checked) No other model designation other than Model 99. I removed the forearm and after I got the spruce needles and other dirt out of there all I saw stamped on the face of the receiver was the letter T. (It is not a take down) The forearm...

What I have found out so far is it is circa 1936/37. On the road today so I will take it apart and check it out for other markings. Not sure if I'll keep it or sell it yet. At that price I couldn't leave it for someone else. I also picked up a Mossberg 500 in 12 ga with vent rib and removable choke ...

iceman

I don't think it was originally with the sling but added on. Couldn't resist at that price, I remember my Dad had a 303 savage.

iceman

I think I did ok today. I picked up a 99 EG in 303 savage with a box of Imperial 190 gr rounds for $150. Seemed good to me. There is a crack in the stock by the butt plate but repairable. Bore is clean and sharp. There was a sling with hook type attachments and round eyes in the wood. I have similar...

I'll be taking my 99F out for a walk tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it.

iceman

Just goes to show different mind sets. I worked with a young man from Northern Ontario today. He and 3 other family members are going moose hunting this weekend and he has the biggest rifle. (a pump action Remington in 30-06) his father uses a 30-30 his brother a 308 and his uncle I believe is also ...

When I load I always put the empty cases mouth down in the block (primers up) this way I'm sure the case is primed properly and empty. Once charged with powder obviously right side up. I once seated a bullet on an empty case. luckily only at the range when I found out, but still had to knock the bul...

iceman

I'm not quite sure yet what I'll be using. Probably my 356 model 94, but I have a savage 99 F in 300 that isn't blood stained yet and a left hand Zastava side lever in 6.5x55 that hasn't been carried much yet, but shoots real nice. Time and weather will tell I guess. Best of luck everyone.

iceman

Done.

iceman

Thanks

iceman

Thanks for the happy Father's day. It will be 14 years tomorrow that my Dad passed, still miss him. It is an easy date to remember because it is also my son's birthday (32) and my sisters birthday (65).

iceman

I like the tire trick too, never thought of that either. The wood looks very straight grained with no knots and with the now on the ground frozen too. Makes splitting easy even with a regular axe. the idea is good though.

I have used coca cola on rusted lug nuts on an old car that I couldn't budge with a 30" breaker bar. Poured come on the and went for lunch. An hour later I could get them off.

iceman

I'm glad I made someone laugh. We have had a pretty hard last couple of days. My sister in law gave up to her battle against cancer this week.( 47 years old is much too young) I had to find someplace to laugh and these puns did it for me so I thought I would share a good laugh that helped me. I don'...

Found this and thought you fellows might enjoy it

iceman

I am a fan of low power scopes. 1.5 to 4.5 or 2 to7 on most of my rifles with scopes. I do have a 3 to 9 but it is usually at the lower setting. I only use the higher setting to check out the rifle. If I can't see the target (animal ie deer etc) at the lower setting it is too far away in my opinion.

iceman

I would think penetration is most important. The FTX might expand too quickly for moose. I get good accuracy with 200 gr Hornady round nose. I have not tried the Speer 225 in my 356, but it might be a good compromise if it shoots well in your rifle.

iceman

It has been a long time since I have used a bow, but I used to like Bear broadheads. I don't know if you can still get them.

iceman

Done.

iceman

Done Much too young.

iceman

Glad that worked out for you. A semi 22 is always fun. I have a Ruger 10/22 made in 1976 that has never failed me yet. Enjoy

iceman

I have had good results with Nu Finish also.

iceman

I have fired a lot of that CIL ammo. My Dad used to work at the factory where it was made and could get factory seconds. Usually nothing major especially the shotgun ammo. They usually had either a bad crimp or double stamped shot size. I still have a few around.

iceman

What the heck put my name on the list too please.

iceman

Done.

iceman

I bought one last year in left hand (not many L H bolt 22 s) and I am VERY pleased with it. Very accurate and pleasant to carry. I bought a 5 shot clip for just walking around since it doesn't stick out as much as the 10 shot.

iceman

I have regretted a few that I have traded/sold but for the most part my safe has a revolving door. Bring a couple in use them for a while then try something else. I have lately (within the last couple of years) been trying semi auto shotguns. I have come to the conclusion that I am more of a pump ki...

iceman

Have you tried Western Gun parts in Edmonton?

iceman

A little nippy here today too. -25F thankfully not much wind. My wood is also taking a beating but I still have 6 cords in my garage and another 10 outside while not real dry, some of it would do if needed. I should be ok with what I have inside now though. Only went through 3 cords so far so I am p...

iceman

That deal fell through I offered $225 and he refused. All is well though I found an Ithaca model 37 featherlight 16 ga for $160 to my door. It had been put away in a case at some time had has some rust pits etc on the outside and missing the butt plate (I'll get a recoil pad anyway). I was looking f...

iceman

I wish everyone here a Happy and above all HEALTHY New Year.

iceman

He has just said he would ship to me at $275. I'm very tempted and doing some more investigating. One on gun broker asking $269 us so pretty close. From what I have found so far they are pretty solid, as were most of that time frame. I'll keep on digging.

iceman

I have a chance on a late model Stevens 520 16 ga shotgun (tang safety). As you fellows probably know, a John Moses Browning design yet not well known shotgun. Metal shows signs of wear but no pits that I can see in the pics. He is asking $275 plus shipping (probably $25 to my door) I have told him ...

iceman

Welcome from the great white north.

iceman

Done.

iceman

I got this one on another site and just copied it here. Showed it to the wife and she laughed so all is good. After 31 years takes more than a wife joke to get me in trouble.

iceman

Thanks for the good wishes and right back at you.
Best wishes in the New Year.
