That bullet looked like one of the old swaged .357 Speer bullets! I'd love to get my hands on those, but got lots of the Lee/Lyman cast LFN bullets made up ready to load.

1894cfan

I envy you! I'm stuck with a '48 and a '77. Hated the fat fore stock so much that I picked up a later skinnier one and sanded it to fit and stuck it on the '48. Most of my shooting/hunting these days is the '77 though with quiet ammo, CB short and long and the quiet stuff.

1894cfan

I had one of those on a Brazilian Mauser that was stolen from me some 15 years ago!

1894cfan

Yup, it's a joke alright! A joke on us!

Pardon me for not reading the whole thread, but, I've had a Marlin 336c in 35 rem. AND a Win 94 in 30/30. And while the 336 was much more capable of better accuracy, the Win 94 was lighter for carrying and had a shorter lever throw that was much better in allowing a faster second shot on whatever yo...

Thanks Doc.

If I was stupid enough to open the door, I'd tell them to get the h e double toothpicks off my porch! And if they came back I'd call the cops on them! There's no reason to put up with that b s.

FEMA says they are out of money, wonder why after giving all they have for all those illegals coming up from south america! Then again, I've been hearing the feds are blocking emergency supplies and confiscating supplies already stockpiled in those areas. Not only that, if any private pilots with ch...

IF you do decide to shoot it, stick with CB shorts! Less stress on it then, plus easier to clean. HTH

Add on...with todays modern ammo just run dry or lightly oiled patches through it to protect the plating. YMMV

Actually, the 5.56x45 was developed to mimic at 500yds what the 30 carbine could do at 100yds! YMMV

Steve in MO,
Always did like that movie! Mom, god rest her soul, had a thing for Burt. Me? I had a thing for Claudia!

With a hundred round bandoleer or belt mounted fold-down ammo pouch? Don't forget a torniquet in case a SS agent shoots themselves in the foot or ankle!

Stick a thumb in it!

Joe was killed piloting a drone B-24 which exploded before they could bail out!

1894cfan

I could be wrong in this, but Elmer Keith mostly used 1-16 lead alloy for whatever he was shooting, even 357 mags. Even Skeeter Skelton used that same alloy mostly with the Lyman 358156GC bullet. HTH

1894cfan

For those of you who have enough and just found more...I am VERY happy for you! May you keep on reloading to your hearts content and have enough ammo loaded to suit whatever you want/need it for! Keep on keeping on.

1894cfan

Hope you guys have enough to suit you. I've got an 8lb keg left.

1894cfan

Question for you guys...what is the #1 main difference between the F6F-5 and the prototype F6F-6? How about the difference between the P-51A and P-51B? THAT one ought to be rather easy. Anyone ever see any pix of a spitfire mkV with a DB605 engine?

1894cfan

He had to go through all that just for a new fangled HENRY???? I'd understand all that if he bought a '73/'92'/'94 lever, but why go through all that for a HENRY? Just buy a truck and stick a back window gun rack in it and be done with it!

1894cfan

Just got notice from Midway that 2400 is no longer available-limited production. Got enough of it but it's kinda a staple with me. What have you guys heard about this?

1894cfan

Marbles made a couple sets, one long and one short. Had the long one with the short ramp on a Henry MiniBolt single shot bolt action .22LR until I found a suitable scope for the little bugger. Worked pretty good. Everything else I have had Williams FP receiver sights installed, most with elevation o...

New ones maybe, but the old ones are still posted on utube. So you can still get your Paul fix whenever you want. At least until utube bans them.

Safe queens ought to be taken out and shot!

Mossberg .410 bantam 18" cyl bore with 2.5" double ought buck and a S&W 60-9 loaded with 38 gold dots along with lots of speed loaders.

1894cfan

Good one, JimT! Got a chuckle out of that, true too.
On your photo, I wouldn't be offended by that!

1894cfan

Yes, there are aftermarket triggers available in the 3.5-4 pd category that will suite your needs. I went with Rise Armament for mine. FYI, get ready to spend around $100 or more for them though, but well worth it! HTH

1894cfan

Sounds like his work here ain't done yet! Glad he made it OK.

1894cfan

Thanks for the heads up on the problems you are having. Wasn't thinking getting one of these, but now know I am NOT going to get one!

1894cfan

No worries! Hope things work out for you, for the better!

1894cfan

And here I am, stuck with my blued and walnut '77 39a!

1894cfan

Do what the harley owner did to his bike????????

1894cfan

I agree, that's pretty!

1894cfan

I, thankfully, have never gone through what you have, but saw what my parents went through and said NO THANK YOU! I feel for you and pray you get through this chapter of your life with few problems! BTW, nice house!

1894cfan

I quit 35 YEARS ago! Even back then I could see that they were giving only the info THEY wanted us to see! Heck, even the weather reports were suspect! If I wanted to know what the weather was going to be like I'd just walk out and look at the sky.

1894cfan

Thanks, AJ. Width is .92 for the LCP II and .81 for the LCP, not really enough to worry about, but decided to pass on the crossdraw holster anyway.

1894cfan

Saw a De Santis crossdraw on sale at Midwayusa for an LCP II and was wondering if it fit the LCP also.

Yes it is, also works wonders on rabbits, crows and ravens when the opportunity presents itself. Cats too if they make a nuisance of themselves.

1894cfan

Yes, BIG improvement! I also didn't like the marshield on my '77 39a, so striped it and recoated it with tru-oil. Later I picked up a '70s Win 94 30/30 that the finish was cracking on, so gave it the same treatment. Gave both the steel wool rub down.

1894cfan

Anybody know if the LCP and LCPII are the same size? Is the LCP II larger? Would like to get a holster for the LCP, but these days all that's listed is for LCP II.

TIA

1894cfan

It is a bit different from the SP101, if anything it's easier!

1894cfan

Question, when did you buy them?

1894cfan

4T5, after re-reading your post it looks to me like you are using WAY to low pressure rounds! I'd suggest using at the least standard pressure 38spl loads. YMMV

1894cfan

Yup, that's the way my '77 39a is set up. Just match the curve of the bullseye with the curve of the stock, less frustration that way.

Don't bother asking me how I know.

1894cfan

Just had a thought, drill shallow dimples in the sides of the bullseye before gluing in and it should help keep the bullseye from working its way out again. HTH

1894cfan

Believe it or not, over time they do eventually loosen up and work their way out. I've got a 1977 39a that that happened to. Fortunately, I found it and glued it back in, with wood glue if I remember right, likely with Elmers. HTH

1894cfan

Good one, rossi!

1894cfan

They also did a "JOHN" in 357mag also. Got a few of those.
