You could much worse starting them reading. The books by Lamour are what I started reading back in 1953 when I was about 14 years old and riding my horse everyday before the school bus came by. Check online for a list in order of time written. Another good series is "The trail of the Spanish Bi...

Maybe you might visit him and check the dies and see what the problem is. Maybe take a few of your .357 brass and try them in his dies.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

JerryB

Blaine, I will be praying for God's will for your mother.

JerryB

That was a job well done.

JerryB

OS, I had one of the 650 in long rifle. I put a box or more through it every day for several months. It was a fine shooting gun.

JerryB

Thanks for letting us know that you and family are OK. Years ago my brother was burned out and lost every thing among the guns was Dad's 12 ga. double that we both started on.

JerryB

Earl, I would think that he is probably without any power or phone service in that area from the fire. Reckon some one will hear from him before long.

JerryB

Kirk, when I asked about Sam, I was thinking about your 94 30-30. Sure do hope ya'll have a good, safe trip up there. I know the North woods are nice to be in good fishing and a lot of game to see when you are slipping along in a good canoe.

JerryB

Welcome to the forum, stick around lot of good stuff here. Do you trout fish in north Arkansas? We do have some great trout rivers and streams around hear.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!!!!!!!

JerryB

Real good info, hope your condition continues to improve so you can hit the trail again.

JerryB

Jason, I reckon you might need a good hold on the grips, it might want to move a little in your hand.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRK, is Sam going again??

JerryB

Rusty, I am sure you have told 50 times wait and the Lord will send the right one. Tell him congratulations from us.

JerryB

I did know of a few rigs that had AC, none of my did. In 1964 I bought a 1962 Pontiac station wagon, our first one with AC. My first pick up with AC was a 77 Ford.

JerryB

Pete thanks for the help. Now it looks like the gun was made in 1941. It does have the hammer with small pattern. I am going to call it a 1941 for sure now.

JerryB

I drove many many miles with 2 50 ac

JerryB

Can you date it? might find some info on google or from a machinist.

JerryB

At least it is all spelled right. We had some registered Nubian goats for a few years and sold a lot of milk, It is really good but we never got any eggs except from our hens. Maybe we should have fed them laying mash.

JerryB

Yup it is a 65, I had been looking at some 13 guns checking prices.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOTH YA'LL !!!!!!!!

JerryB

I have owned one stainless steel gun. It was a S&W model 13 3inch round butt, I really like the gun for a carry piece but when a friend made me an offer, he took it home. I was born in 1938, guns have always been blue steel and walnut!!!!!

JerryB

It all depends on if I am able to walk the woods this year. Reckon first choice will be one of three 94 30-30 carbines. Next Will be Rossi 92 .357 carbine or maybe grandsons Winchester94 16nch .45 Colt trapper. Handgun will either be Colt SAA .45 Colt 5 1/2 inch, or Taurus 431 .44special. It all dep...

JerryB

Go to https://winchestercollector.org/dates . This should bring it up I hope.

JerryB

Several years ago some one posted several pages of the polishing room dates. I did save them so I will see if I can find them to post. I reckon a bunch here saved them too. I believe they covered several models also. Seems like it was the late Mike from California.

JerryB

You are right!!! the 30wcf has served just fine since 1895. Still taking game.

JerryB

Did you know him well enough to know he lied to you??????

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back when you can.

JerryB

Glad the good Lord thinks you need to stay with us for while yet. I always look forward to your post about your projects.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!

JerryB

I reckon Askin's book will be good reading. I bought a hard cover copy of Elmer's book probably 15 years ago. I have read it two or three times and look up different things once in a while.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR.CABLE

JerryB

Thanks Bill that is a real project, and some real old time craftsmanship at work.

JerryB

I have killed deer with a 94 30wcf but OL' '30-30 says he would shoot one all the way out to 25 yards. Yes the 30-30 will kill game accurately on out there a ways. Years ago when I had better eyes I killed a ground hog at 220 yards. It didn't even need a follow up shot.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA'LL. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JerryB

Praise the Lord that man was there to do it when he was needed. Now look what happened in Chicago over the week end.

JerryB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVERGUNNER !!!!!!!!!

JerryB

That made a real nice looking sporting rifle. I would almost be tempted to have my 1898 made Krag rifle done like that, but it is complete but for the wood over the rear sight and the long top piece to the muzzle. It is a joy to shoot like it is.

JerryB

MY father inlaw bought a new Bearcat back in the late 1960's. The only time I shot it I killed a nice big cotton tail with it so one shot can tell much but it was accurate.

JerryB

Thanks, hard to watch more than once.

JerryB

Reckon you done real good snatching that rifle. There is some real beauty in an old long barreled Winchester rifle. I have a 1917 1892 32wcf round barrel rifle. I like to get it out of the safe and just handle it and look at it sitting by all of those carbines.

JerryB

I have three that eat a lot of corn here in the back yard. They are a pretty close match for your pets.

JerryB

Excellent article. The only bolt gun I own is a 1898 30-40 krag my grandson bought for me, I do have a few lever guns. I like to carry my dad's 1951 94 Winchester 30-30 carbine.

JerryB

How about the 38-40 round?????

JerryB

Welcome to the forum, looks like you have been bit real good by the lever bug. I have always wanted a '99, just never found one when the cash was on hand. Just think in a couple of months you'll be sitting in the woods waiting for that big buck with your Savage in hand.

JerryB

I saw one several years ago, Trespassers shot survivors will be shot again !!!!!!

JerryB

That truly is a fine gesture on his part.

JerryB

Yes it is a beauty, are those notches on the right side of the wrist? I reckon it must be a .22, looks like a good rabbit gun.

JerryB

I thought about this yesterday but didn't put it in the post. go to Wal mart and buy a pair of their foam in soles. They do really make a difference in the boot fit, I have had to use two pair in some boots.
