2 to the chest 1 to the head is generally called a failure drill today I believe. It hints at something thats generally lacking in such discussions (though not everywhere) in the assessment phase after the first 2. Being able to continually assess the situation as it develops in preferable to "...

Well, you could step up a notch from the 380, which would probably be an improvement in overall effectiveness, regardless if someone had a vest on or not. The little 380s are very compact and easy to carry, but not noted for being very effective. Ive considered a 380 now and then, but keep coming ba...

The face will certainly cause anyone not on PCP to stop when impacted there by a bullet, but the throat gives easy access to the spinal cord. Cut the spinal cord and everything stops immediately. Anywhere else and the reflexes can still pull the trigger. Cut the cord in the neck and the arms and le...

I would suggest upper chest and eyes with the 380. As to the pelvic shot, I wouldnt be in a hurry to promote it. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4330-Shots-to-the-Pelvis This has come up in discussion with several long time LE people commenting they had seen many such shots and none had been...

That looks like a factory front sight base, DONT POUND ON IT!!!! They were silver soldered to the barrel. Its been reported that some were dovetailed in a very shallow dovetail, peened in place, THEN silver soldered, meaning its basically permanently attached, unless one wished to do so in a destruc...

Rather than calling it "pre-64". you may get more useful results using the term "SRC" or saddle ring carbine, which it sounds like yours is. There wasnt much difference between whats commonly called "pre-64" and post 64 sights on most made after the early 30s. Some spec...

Fellas, if you google the names, all sorts of information comes up on them, and most old TV shows and movies are on youtube. I just searched youtube and pulled up Whispering Smith, which Id not heard of before. I'll be bookmarking it and watching some. Want to check out the others mentioned also. Yo...

I hd a Ruger ring base machined down and silver soldered to the magazine tube on the left side for a light. I used a surefire 6P in a Ruger ring to mount it. I wanted as small of a base as I could get so it wasnt ugly and catching on stuff when I didnt have the light on it. Not sure if you understoo...

The hole goes all the way through. Trying to remember if any of the old Harley stuff had any 1/4-30 threads. I had some taps for cleaning out holes after bead blasting cases. Harley used some oddball threads also. If I have one, and can find it, I'll loan it to you. EDIT: Just recalled the oddball H...

If you want one for the original intended purpose, which it sounds like, then Id suggest using the older type with large screw shank. the later ones added on post 64 guns had small shanks and were basically ornamental. Some have used them with slings, but I think they are pretty small, perhaps they ...

Malamute

Im not overly concerned about any minor differences, I just recall it being noted in I believe Earls comments. Unfortunately, I havent been able to find any formally published info on the 9 or 10 grs Unique loads with any bullets, the published data Ive been able to find seems to skip around that le...

Using that same application, I see: 4" barrel: 22,681 Max psi, 99.51% burn, 1066fps, 504 ft. lbs 6: barrel: 22,681 Max psi, 100% burn, 1211fps, 651 ft. lbs As for previous threads mentioning Unique with 200 gr. XTP loads - do either of these 2 links help? https://www.levergunscommunity.org/vie...

Malamute

Thanks, but I'm looking for info on that specific load I mentioned in my first post, not looking for other loads.

I think Earl, and one or two others had chronograph info on this load, or 9 grs Unique or very close to that, and mentioned how they worked on deer at the reduced velocity.

Malamute

There was a discussion here some time back where the topic of medium loads was covered, and there was some chronograph and pressure info shared. I wasnt able to find it in several searches. Does anyone have velocity info for 44 cal 200 gr Hornady XTP JHP bullet with 10 grs Unique in magnum cases in ...

When I was very small, a kid in the neighborhood didnt have a bike, but his Radio Flyer served well enough. He propelled himself around the neighborhood with one knee in the wagon, one leg out providing power, steering with the handle. He was pretty good. I was never able to reproduce his level of r...

Ive seen the "no lube" Anderson thing mentioned on M4C forum when I was looking up AR stuff, the general consensus was that it was a rather humorous claim. They make decent quality lowers and some other parts, but the "no lube" thing doesnt work when one actually shoots much, the...

History repeats itself. Back in the 70's you could not buy reloading components through the mail without an FFL.....OK, I can understand powder and primers...but brass?....solid heads? So I guess companies are trying to "protect themselves" from liability.....maybe some Walmart sold a 12 ...

One of the pictures of Gen Crook show what looks like an insert barrel in the muzzle of one side of his side x side shotgun. They used to be advertised in the old Sears catalog for a full length 38-55 insert for a 12 ga I believe. They had some sort of nut on the muzzle I think, that kept it centere...

I havent been able to find the specific info on the bound books, but 4473 forms only have to be retained for 20 years, at which point they can be destroyed. Edit: actually, I was looking right at the "A&D record book info and it didnt register. Importers and manufacturers have to keep perma...

Ive also had great service from them. I had trouble with jacketed 45-70 bullets not having enough neck tension. I called to see if they had other diameter expander plugs. They didnt for 45-70, but they sent me one for 45 Colt to try, for free, and let them know how it worked out. It worked great.

Malamute

I didnt look at them,I recalled a youtuber that did a report on them, so looked. May be some firsthand info rather than guesses?

What that means is they may not work well with really long really short ammo. (They can be too long to allow the carrier to come off bottom or if they do come up to chamber they tend to hit the top inside of the chamber before they make the turn into the chamber ) . (One of the things Rossi did yea...

I believe the 32 Win Spl was listed in Shooters Bibles as a standard chambering until the early 70s.

Edit: Just looked, the 32 spl was in the 74 edition, it was not in the 75 edition.

Wow, what a remarkable opportunity!

I may have had some glitches when a kid just starting out, but dont recall any problems since. I started shooting single action 22s at about 11 yrs old, before Ruger came out with the transfer bar models. No idea how many tens of thousands of rds through the cheap german made single action 22, then ...

Im not understanding what any pipe volume calculation has to do with figuring out where it is. If its clogged, it has water standing in it. If it slowly goes down over time, then you pour more in, whos to say where the level was? Or how much is getting by if its draining slowly. Get a snake, if it w...

Might try asking at the Winchester Collectors forum.

Cartridges of the World may have info, not sure how accurate it would be for the actual guns, as opposed to the ammunition dimensions.

Malamute

I dont know if they were made IN Canada, but had read or heard they made some 94s made in 44-40 for Canadian sales. Same with some of the commemoratives, some were for Canadian sales only, and some were in 44-40 caliber.

There was a documentary about this a couple years ago, I havent seen it yet.

Canted barrel as in not indexed correctly? If so, you could probably correct that yourself. Just tuning up the trigger pull on the rebound setup may get the gun shootable. Tuning some of the rebound leg down, cleaning up the trigger pull, reducing the trigger block spring that the lever moves to all...

Malamute

I used to find them at gun shows and pass them along, but they seem to have dried up in the past few years. I dont recall the last set I saw. Maybe 3 or 4 years ago?

Tuning up the rebound trigger group may be the new answer.

Malamute

You should both have pepper spray. Either would work with the right loads. The 357 has better chance of making deep, bone breaking penetration. The 9 should work on head shots with decent penetration loads. Please note that common fmj loads are not very high quality as regards holding together when ...

The cartridge stop nub on the carrier can be cut back a bit. If you go very far, you may have to also clearance the front edge of the ejector some. Elmer Kieth mentioned it, and Ive heard of others in the recent past say that 92s could be altered to work with the Lyman/Keith bullet in 44 mag. In the...

Fires scare the bee-gee-us out of me. I could loose my tools and firearms, but the loss of 130 years of family photographs and other memorabilia would be hard to deal with....

Its possible its actually 110v, but id about bet money it uses a transformer and reduces the 110v to 12v or something less than that. Look at the unit itself, it should have info on a tag that says what the actual functioning voltage is. The power source should also say, what input and output voltag...

I like the idea of layered plans. I read of a guys experience evacuating and rebuilding life after Katrina, he had some good ideas and observations. He now has plans in steps, depending on the time he may have. One thing he did was digitize all his important papers, including banking info, house dee...

Ive seen some of his vids, they look like fun, but the ones Ive seen were of questionable conclusions. One was an AR meltdown, but with a stainless barrel, which isnt as tough as a GI barrel (true GI spec, not cheapo so-called "mil-spec". His seemed to conclude his results were representat...

I believe Danny said he was getting 30+ inches of penetration on elk with the regular Hornady 348 200 gr flat point jacketed bullet. The premium grade copper bullets will likely do a bit better, even if slightly lighter, or whatever weight is available.

Malamute

I dont think any bolt face work is required for 45-70 on a 71. Its a fairly common old school change, just the barrel. Whatever small difference there is doesnt matter in actual use. Loading gate difference is basically "getting around the corner" with longer fatter cartridges. The side of...

I got a somewhat vague message from them today, it said some features will be discontinued on my account, but didn't say exactly what. It said my use was "excessive", which is really pretty funny, as Ive use what they say is 2% of my allowable space limit. I also don't soley use PB for 3rd...

Well done!

I think if nobody ever says anything (politely) against it, they think everyone is good with the sign and policy.

Malamute

Well if I were to guess, their new policy isnt going to be sustainable either. They seem to be overwhelmed with really really bad ideas the past few years. I predict their demise before long, and I cant say i'm too broke up about it. The guy makes a valid point, if something is free, you arent the c...

There have been some good trip reports on that general area on the American Adventurist forum. Likely many on Expedition Portal forum also, but it can be a bit overwhelming in the enormous content.

Doc, is the trigger system in the AR that started giving light hits an aftermarket or "improved trigger pull" design? I knew a guy that swore he got a bad lot of ammo, but his ammo shot fine in mine. Mine was stock Colt parts, his was a match type trigger. Ive had both minis and ARs. I wis...

I feel like calibers beginning wit '4' or '5' are quicker stoppers, although I'd not want shot with a 9 mm (...or a 22 short for that matter). I also like CONTROL over the hammer (same reason I like lever-gun vs bolt actions or semiautos), so I like 1911's and the Taurus 92's (better safety ergonom...

Keith wrote that there was a definite good reason to use the term long colt, but his point of reference was the early decades of the 1900s when there were several variations of the 45 govt/Schofield, and a version made for DA revolvers with slightly wider rim. In todays context, it would be tough to...

A couple years ago when they changed their basic setup to the so-called improved version, they started charging commercial users for their use. Many went ahead and paid, expecting at least the same old level of usability, which was not the new reality. The changes totally mucked up the user friendly...
