The media has convinced many people that he's 'gun-friendly' and 'pro-Second Amendment' which probably means that we deserve to live in a police-state if we tolerate such news media and such politicians.

With the exception of about 10% of gun owners, we truly are a 'Nation of Cowards.'

A police officer friend told me once that there are so many 'hot shots' on the force that he would recomment NOT telling an officer (as required) that you have a firearm in your vehicle if stopped. He feels too many of the officers he knows would immediately escalate the situation by getting all ten...

On the subject of Taxes, I'd highly suggest Boortz's books on the Fair Tax - it seems to be a simple and wonderful way to restore sanity to our nation's tax structure, and stop the malignant power-brokering and manipulation the politicians do. There is alot of misinformation claiming all sorts of ba...

If Marlin is smart, they WILL come out with one, and Ruger will do a single action in it too. Maybe they're waiting for Hornady to make pointy bullets for it first... :roll: On another thread somewhere it was commented that the innards of the receiver on the .32-20 were different, than on the .357, ...

Heft a Redhawk (.45 Colt) and a Super-Redhawk (I think that's the only one you can get in .454 Casull). To me, the Redhawk is a much nicer 'feel' and I'd get a Redhawk .45 Colt and it can 'go with' a rifle in .45 Colt OR .454 Casull. Having shot .454 Casull from an Encore pistol, and having shot .45...

I used to mushroom hunt some, but never could find a load that didn't just rip them all to pieces.

Seriously, one of my earliest 'food' memories is of venison and morels for breakfast with my dad.

I been tryin' to get my rifles to do that for some time now.... I even put them side by side in the safe and turn the lights off, but so far - no luck

The first time I realized how gun-dumb most kids must be, and their parents, was when late at night my wife was in the far barn milking, and one of the kids arrived home given a ride with another cub scout parent or something. Anyway, they commented that there were a bunch of strange looking people ...

Prayers sent. Those situations are very scary, but remember - most lumps are not cancers, and most cancers are very curable. If the worst comes to pass, you have a battle to fight, then as 'Josey Wales' said, you can't get discouraged, you've got to get 'mad-dog-fightin' mean' and believe me, attitu...

I did some of the 'action smoothing' things I think are posted elsewhere on the site (smoothing the hammer's bearing surface where the bolt comes back to cock it, mainly). I put a Williams FP sight on it, and then...I just shot it. Alot. It is just about the favorite gun I have if you don't take sen...

Watch the aftermarket magazines. Some of them work really well and some are junk. I got really lucky at a show right after I bought it and a fella had used Factory mags for $4 ea. I bought them all!

About the same thing - Marlin stainless 1894 type action guns in: .327 Mag/.32 H&R or maybe .32-20 (maybe slightly scaled down action) .454 Casull or .480 Ruger (scaled up action obviously) Those, and of course a helicopter-mounted set of twin-50 miniguns, for days when I just want to make LOTS ...

If you have the luxury of a 'sandpit' with good backstops on three sides or more, try taking a dozen plastic 1-gallon jugs and mark some on front and back with a large 'O' and some with a large 'X' - one person trots a loop around the place, tossing the jugs into the brush at random.

We had pigs a couple of years; just think if you could arrange a 'perimeter' a hundred yards from your house and fifty yards across patrolled by a couple 400 pound hogs.

You'd know you had intruders when you saw the bones a couple of weeks later...

It doesn't look 'traditional', but for handiness, reliability, and just plain fun shooting, don't forget Ruger's little 96/22 - one thing I like is that the lever throw is so short you barely flick you fingers between shots. As far as looks go, it might be nice to re-work the forend by slimming it d...

So, Jason, how do you like the Ruger PC? I don't see a reply from Jason yet, but I have one and it is handy and durable, but doesn't feed as reliably (even with ball ammo) as my Marlin Camp Rifle in .45 - then again I don't think I've ever had a 9mm that fed as well as a .45 in any kind of gun.

I recently bought a 'ghost ring' rear sight for my Redhawk, and I sort of like it, but the metal is too wide (hold is fine, but rim around it too wide), so I have to shoot it some more to see if I want to slim it up some. For hunting with a handgun, I've never found a scope I really liked, and I hat...

Why should the DEA agents have guns, or even have jobs...? The DEA mostly exists to provide 'price support' for drug dealers. All they do is encourage a violent sub-culture of dealers providing substances to not-very-bright people who STILL GET THE DRUGS ANYWAY. So the only net effect is higher pric...

Cool idea - should be a 'sticky' - next weekend I'll have to rummage through my stuff; I'm always trying to figure out where to store odds and ends I'll probably never use, but since they are 'useful' (albeit not to me) I can't bring myself to toss them out.

On a related note, I think I read somewhere that the chamber wall on the Marlin 1895 45-70 is only 0.1" thick in some area - now THAT'S scary! Especially if the tooling was maybe off 0.05" that day.

I wonder how much help re-installing the screws really is, and how much it matters if they are flush with the surface, vs the bottom of the hole, or if they have filler under them, threadlocker, etc...?

I agree - the free market would have 'solved' the airline problem, AND kept them profitable, within a few days of 9/11. Some would have had a costly appearances-only program like TSA's, which was inconvenient, but they would NOT have been able to pass on the cost to other airlines and to non-fliers ...

Is the tube only held in place by friction, plus the cap screw protruding into the notch in the barrel? If that's the case, and the screw isn't long enough, like Nate said, getting a longer screw might be helpful; even if you can't get one as a 'gun' part, some work with a dremel tool, file, and/or ...

Is it the one with the 'tube loading' feature? That one I looked at, but the little nubbin that keeps the tube from popping forward just looked too fragile; the .454 Casull threads in place, and seems better secured. It did look like you could work with it and rebuild it or modify it to be more reli...

There is, for example, a far greater risk of being struck by lightning than being attacked by a mountain lion. They downplay (perhaps rightly so) risks like THIS, but they would never admit the chances of a CCW licensee causing death are ALSO very slim. I love how in Cincinnati when I lived there, ...

I don't normally consider church, the post office, work (well maybe work), or resturants "dangerous havens for the criminals." In Indiana, churches and restaurants aren't bad places, because CCW is allowed there! And the only time I go to the post office is if we have baby chicks ordered ...

If some place doesn't allow CCW, I generally don't go there, period. Such places in my opinion are dangerous havens for the criminals and evidently don't have enough freedom-minded people to overturn whatever anti-CCW laws there are, so I assume they are nasty places. I feel sorry for anyone who has...

I got a .45-70 barrel for my Encore and it shoots better (more accurately) than the .270 barrel did! I don't mind the recoil, perhaps due to the stock shape (because the Encore is fairly light).

I agree with the high deductible plans or HSA's. Insurance basically HAS to be more expensive than the average per-capita expense, so if you want 'everything' covered you'll pay at LEAST that much (I think it is about $4,000 now).
