Some aerial artillery. (The kid is mine, not the B17.)

Gary

Another big thanks! The poor accuracy is inexcusable for expensive, lead free ammo.

When spring varminting starts here in CA, it looks like I'll be going to a "no condor" area and using lead 22's.

Gary

It's even available in 30-30!

Here's how the Chinese do it...

Great picture!

Here's a picture of my son's field artillery.

Be sure to let us know how they shoot. I live in "condor country" too.

Gary

Thanks for the link! I need to study up on lube & sizing for my cast bullets.

Prayer sent for the soldier.

I've seen someone's case jumped on forums for "not using the search function". "That subject has already been discussed!" ... and such.

People here a very civil and patient.

Plenty of original shooters out there. Here's mine.

OK I'll check up on the Saigas. My question still gets me whipsawing back and forth between 5.56 and 7.62. Everyone is impressed by the 30-30 as an all-round rifle, the 7.62 is sometimes compared to 30-30; so is that so, as far as terminal performance is concerned? Don't hear many stories about how...

Gary

NICE!!

Gary

Prayers for your S-I-L.

Well, actually the rest of us were all out on a canoe trip a few months back, and somehow a big wave came along and tipped all our canoes over. You'll never believe it, but we all had our gun collections with us, and pretty much lost them all. Real bummer, it was... :roll: You too? There's been a l...

Well said, Stretch.

I'm with Hobie. Sometimes the right tool is a screwdriver and sometimes the right tool is a hammer. We seem to be split over Snap-On vs Matco.

Cool picture!

In a "bug out" situation, I would pick my lever in 357 mag. Light & handy, it could take game from rabbit to deer and would do for personal protection from two legged predators. With 38 specials, it would not destroy too much meat on rabbits and other small game. Where a 44 mag or 30-3...

Remington .22 LRHP "Golden Bullets" were $15.47/550 at my local WalMart this week. I bought three boxes and left the last three boxes for the next guy.

It's the first time I've seen ANY 550 packs of rimfire since November 2008.

Just finished reading all 5 pages of this. I think everyone's "bad times" situation would be different. For me, the worst case scenario would be my next door neighbor. You see, he's a drug dealer. If a bad drug deal went down and a worst case scenario happened, it would be a car load of ga...

Thanks for the info. Now I can tell the wife what I want for Christmas!

I've posted this before but thought you all would enjoy seeing them again. These are old photos taken at the original museum in Victorville. Years ago, I bought a box of old sheet music at a yard sale. Sorting through the stuff at home, some old post cards and family pictures fell out of a magazine....

My winchesters prefer the 150's, and have accounted for antelope, muledeer, whitetail and elk. The Marlin shoots best with 170's and has been used on antelope and elk. Try some of each see which your rifle shoots best, then take that load hunting. The speer bullets are my favorite for reloading. Th...

The 30-30? Ammo is in every shop that sells ammo because no one buys it . It's everywhere! Now, deer are smarter and tougher than they used to be. No hunter uses the 30-30. Modern hunters know that you need a belted magnum case to harvest even a small deer. To handle the magnum, you need a 12-14 lb ...

If there is a Law Enforcement officer in Orange County, CA that would help with a DROS on a revolver that dropped off the CA DOJ list between auction end and delivery to my FFL on this list could you send a PM? You should field this question over on calguns.net. They could offer suggestions. A lot ...

FWIW - Hornady's published ballistics tables for their 30-30 LeverEvolution ammo says it is good for 300 yards.

http://www.leverguns.com/articles/fryxell/old_rifles_old_friends.htm There has been a great deal of concern over the years about whether or not Microgroove rifling would shoot cast bullets well. One group of folks says that Microgroove rifles can't hit a barn from the inside with cast bullets, one ...

Gary

If your kids ever get into cast bullet handloads you may want to choose the Winny's standard rifling over the Marlin's microgroove.

The review of the Mossberg 464 was basically good. It scored an 8 out of 10 and was described as utilitarian. However, everything I've read online has said the 464 was junk and to stay away from it. Has Mossberg corrected the problems with their levergun?

Thrift stores are great. I got a Fischer rack stereo system with turntable and speakers for $10 at one. At another, I got an old "made in Germany" 35mm camera with original leather case for $5.

Don't forget to hit yard sales, too! I got a stack of old gun smithing gun books for $1 at one.

Gary

Wouldn't you love a 30 minute 'shopping spree' to go in and pick out a nice one --- or two to bring home :D !! There used to be a TV show where a contestant pushed a shopping cart through a store and tried to fill it as fast as possible. You could pack a lot of levers into a shopping cart! :mrgreen:

Gary

EGAD! IT'S LEVER HEAVEN!

Gary

Thanks Griff! Based on the census, it looks like I need to add the 45-75 to my humble collection of levers.

This article needs to be shared on every gun forum!

Reaction time on this one was slow. The Los Angeles COUNTY FD held back, hoping that the STATE would step in, footing the bill. When you saw a picture of firefighters "watching" or "waiting" it meant that they were "not fighting the fire". Most of the pictures I saw of ...

Gary, Where was that taken from? I just moved from Godde Hill road about 6 months ago. It is facing south from my driveway yesterday. So far, the fire has burned 100,000 acres. It is the big one that is in the news. It's ~10 miles away. We lost two firefighters last night. One is the brother in law...

I'll trade you guys for this...

Anyone want to volunteer to tally up the scores?

.357 mag and 30-30 equally. I own both and don't want one of them to get jealous.
