That is nice! Now I have to forget this post before I decide I need one By the time I got this one in my hands I decided I did not need it and I could make due by loading 45 ACP up to 45 autorim specs and shoot deer/hog with it. Your wants and needs can change a bit over nine months. I still want a...

Scrateshooter

The barrel was removed and sent off to re-bore (that's what took so long). I'm not sure what the throats are cut at, but I remember Jack discussing it and they are cut so I don't get any leading like some other revolvers I've dealt with.

You could punch a hole in your gas tank and drive around Memphis, Detroit, East St. Louis, North Little Rock, Atlanta, Kansas City, Chicago, Gary, Oakland, or anywhere in Mexico.

I bought that pound of Blue Dot in 2014 when you jumped on pistol powder like a WWII Marine on a grenade. I was getting about 1300 fps out of a 6" S&W 27 with that 10gr of Blue Dot and a 158gr SWC from Slash K in Tucson, AZ. Grandpa, I heard these deer now have titanium skin and you might n...

Scrateshooter

Reckon Pisgah said it plain enough for me, wear from everyday use over a long time frame. Grandpa, don't forget how they fall over in the corner sometimes, or fall out of places you forgot you put them while taking something down. I honestly don't spend the time to clean them sometimes, and some ju...

Scrateshooter

Nice looking old Colt, I think you should buy the grips and put them on. The first picture looks just like my Colt, a very early second generation 5 1/2 .45 the gun came with the stag grips on it. the left grip is almost identical to mine. I can't seem to use Photobucket anymore but I sure would li...

A few days ago my grandson, Reno, came up from his place in Texas to help me with this Lehigh bullet test. We went over to my friend, Jim’s, place and set up two chronographs. Reno, (Scrateshooter on Lever guns) has a Chrony F1 and Jim set up his Chrony Beta. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii275...

Scrateshooter

I dry fire modern military pattern weapons (mil-spec requirement), but don't dry fire my levers or pistols with frame mounted firing pins.

Scrateshooter

I like them there Randalls, I got one or three laying around here. Have yet to use one, they sit next to the 5" and 6" S&W Model 27s in the safe: They are like that Indian fellow's hard candy on The Outlaw Josey Whales.

Scrateshooter

Thanks Earl, the Taurus 431 and 441 are built on the K-frame size with a full barrel lug and is a heavy gun. The 7.5 grain load in the 3 inch gun is a lot like a 9 or 10 grain Unique load in my Colt SAA 5 1/2 inch .45, a little slower recovery for the next shot. I am thinking that maybe 6.5 might b...

Scrateshooter

I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

Scrateshooter

Streetstar, a friend of mine just bought a 445 blue gun just like yours about two weeks ago. Don't know if he's shot it yet. He brought it out when it came for me to look at with him. It seems kind of light weight but we were comparing it to my Taurus 431. I do like the grips, I think they would fe...

Scrateshooter

Hey guys I'm back in NE TX/North Central Ar-Kansas.

Grandpa (JerryB) says Hi. He put a fine Model 94 together for me. It needs shot.

Scrateshooter

I got one of those there Noveske's back in June of 2009. It is probably the best shooting weapon I own. They are very addictive.

Scrateshooter

Someone page JerryB (Grandpa), he loads for the same rifle with good results.

Scrateshooter

Thank God. I was in her corner as well Grandpa. My brother was right glad to meet you. He talks highly of you.

Scrateshooter

Here we go again!! This is my Rossi Hartford carbine and my 1957 Colt .45. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii275/Jerryb_38/100_2800.jpg I have shot the pair, and should mention that the Rossi put a hog on the smoker for us using Granpa's "hog medicine". It was served with corn tortilla...

Scrateshooter

Looks like I will be in NE Texas (Red River County) for the first week of November. I won't see many of you unless the OP wants to meet me. I want to go up and see JerryB however.

Scrateshooter

Maybe it is a small world, but is it the place in Red River County? I am from there and have killed a NE Texas hog, with a 255 Keith load my Grandpa fellow board member JerryB cooked up for me. He calls it "hog medicine". Anyway my old step-dad use to trap hogs off our place on Lake Lennox...

Scrateshooter

At Fort Ord in 1958 I fired a BAR, a Browning Light 30cal machinegun, 81mm mortar, 57 recoiless rifle and the 50cal. spotting rifle on the jeep mounted 106. I carried the base plate for that 81 all over the mountains at Hunter Ligget. I did own a nice old Springfield trapdoor 45-70, an 1886 45-70, ...

Scrateshooter

Thanks Charles. Recoil is the main consideration. The rifle will be used by all the members of the family. Four of the five grandchildren in my family are girls. If I can find a Swedish 6.5x55 carbine it will be the easiest route. I could also look into the 7x57. This will be the Boggy Creek Ranch r...

Scrateshooter

Thanks guys. I want to keep the weapon "original" looking to tag along with me and not look too valuable. .243 WIN might be the thing. My step dad always said it was the best for N.E. Texas. I am not sure how well it would work up where Grandpa is. I have the FN commercial Mauser in 30-06 ...

Hey fellow levergunners I have a VZ-24 in N.E. Texas that I want to "sporterize" I want to have a new barrel turned to fit like the original and true up/bed the action. I also want to put a Williams FP sight and matching front sight on. It will be my N.E. Texas deer/hog rifle. I have three...

Scrateshooter

Good Job Grandpa! I have always noticed the front sight that comes on the Henrys. My Border Patrol buddy just bought one and he didn't seem to notice it but it screamed to me, especially after shooting the Browning BL22.

Scrateshooter

Thanks Grandpa and guys. I believe Mike Hunter, his sage advice makes sense. The cylinders in both guns have similar movement in lockup. I have not shot the King Cobra in 10 years, it worked fine then. I got it off a fellow Marine for $100 and a Remington Model 48 shotgun. He had taken it apart and ...

Scrateshooter

I have Colt Lawman Mk III and a Colt King Cobra that have identical movement in the cylinders. They don't have the "bank vault lock up" Grandpa, do you know any?

One thing I learned in the military was that certain rules were written in blood. No need to reinvent the wheel. She is lucky her life wasn't terminated. Lot of muslim extremist operate in that area.

Scrateshooter

Grandpa just loads SAA safe loads to the upper end, out of the Rossi they have no problem putting a 255 Keith bullet clean through a 150# hog.

Scrateshooter

I went to the Tucson Gun Show Saturday and only walked around the outside. I saw a stainless Rossi with a bobbed hammer chambered in 44 Special, it had fixed sights. The guy wanted $349 for it. I also saw an older Marlin 1894 chambered in 44 mag going for $350. I new if I bought one I would have to ...

Scrateshooter

I received the new low swing safety for the FN Mauser, it is constructed differently than the original one. I am going to take the old safety and modify the bolt shroud on my VZ-24 so I can use it. Deer must die and I have the rest of the year to prepare, hogs better stay clear of me as well.

Sorry for the link, that sight host photos. It makes documentation quicker.

I was using a Glenfield Model 30 half tube in 30-30 for my truck gun. I decided to try to church up the old Glenfield from 1967, I had already replaced every screw on it.

That is the one I wanted.

I would like to get the 5" .22lr model and do the home gunsmithing thing to it. They have a double action trigger pull like you would not believe.

Do you think the .22 mag will be too brisk for her?

Grandpa has the .44 mag version, the Bulldog.

The barrel is free floated.

I ordered a Bold trigger last night. I just need Grandpa (JerryB) to steer me towards some loads for it so I can finally start reloading.

Scrateshooter

I was on the way to Wal-Mart to acquire a Stevens 200 and a Mossberg 100 ATR both in .308 so I could do an experiment. Well this one pawn shop I stopped at superbowl Sunday had a FEG Hi Power for $399. I tried to get it for $350 out the door and they told me they just got it in, I said ok I will be ...

Scrateshooter

I reckon that I have been just plumb lucky to have an Interarms Rossi 92 .357 and a Rossi 92 .45 Colt that both shoot just as well as my 1917 Winchester 1892 32WCF. No complaints about these two junk piles. I sure am glad I didn't wind up with the stuff old Buck talks about, I reckon the Lord just ...

Don't worry Granpa I will put some rabbits on it. These jackrabbits aren't too hard to kill, I have taken a many with a Ruger Mk. II pistol.

I went into a pawn shop to look for a Hi Point C9 and instead walked out with this:

BL22 008.JPG

BL22 001.JPG

It is a Browning BL22. I went through it and cleaned it, she wasn't babied but being of high build quality it wasn't hurt either. If it was any prettier I wouldn't want to fire it.

Thanks Grampa (JerryB), I read that thread here a while back and was amazed how this was done with standard velocity/match ammo going about 1050 fps.
