Go buy a 6 pack of cheap beer, put it in a lawn sprayer, and add just a little dishwashing soap and spray generously.

It works......don't ask me how I know.

I live 45 minutes east of Clare in Bay City......there was as I recall a Northgate (or something similar sounding) gun shop up in Oscoda but it closed when the air base was shut down.

Geez that must have been 20 years ago.

I think any guild quality gunsmith could do it. It is a fairly simple and straight forward operation. In fact lots of guys rent chamber reamers and do it themselves at home. I always felt that if I had it done to one of my rifles I would want to use the same chamber reamer on a set of 30 WCF dies so...

I am not an expert on knives or their history but based on the little bit that I have read I almost think the original Bowie was a cross between a machete and a short sword.

Very nice.......I hope it gives you years of happy memories!

I agree with Lastmohecken's post. You might consider picking up a good used shotgun like a 12 or 20 gauge Mossberg 500 or Remington 870. Here in mid Michigan you can generally find them for $150 or so. Loaded with #6 shot in a 'trap' load would provide you a man stopping punch without a lot of pentr...

That almost looks like more fun than the law will allow!!!!

I am just a wee bit green with envy!

You did great.....those old 375 Win(ners) are fantastic guns.

You know when you compare the ballistics of the modern 375 Winchester cartridge to the black powder loadings that made the 375 H&H magnum famous there is an eerie similarity!

Wm

Those are very nice.....I am most impressed with the rifle he has used for the last 42 years.

Several years ago I went to a Hog Hunt at Mark Hampton's place in Missouri. While I was there one of the other hunters had JD Jone's T/C in 500 S&W with as I recall a 6" barrel. I was willing to give it a try but once I got up to the firing line I started to get nervous. What if this hand c...

If you don't want post the store's contact info and see how fast it disppears!

Wm

Uh....I may be demonstrating my ignorance here but if it is a bad headspace issue could you remove the barrel, take a thread or two off it and rechamber it to 30 WCF Ackley Improved and screw the barrel back onto the receiver? A buddy did this with a bolt action mauser with a bad 35 Whelen chamber. ...

You are not alone my friend.

I betcha there were a lot of people who needed a new set of shorts after that!!!!

I don't think I am a coward but that would have scared the stuff out of me.....& I don't mind saying so!

I am still a pariah among some of my fellow shooting club memebers because 10 years ago I lead the effort to ban all alchol from the club grounds. I said it then and I'll say it now....it was a accident waiting to happen. I don't go to the bar to shoot and they should not come to the range to drink....

wm

That is very helpful......I guess I was doing a lot of that without knowing it but then again I have a slight advantage being responsible for our truck fleet & dealing with service issues all day, every day.

Wm

Oh my......you did real good!!!!!!

Make sure you take good care of that old rifle & give it enough exercise!

They go to my wife and then to my sons but I expect that as they grow older I will thin out the safe by giving them the firearms they seem to warm up to the most. So far the 14 year old 'claims' the Winchester 94 30 WCF I got from my dad, and the Ruger 10/22 INT while the younger son 'claims' the Be...

Oh that is a sweet heart!

I am not collector so much as I am an accumulator and it is firearms like that trip my trigger. They have some history to them.

Pristine examples are for collectors......hunters and shooters value the experience these guns have been witness to.

I think you are both onto something!

I know I have started to 'shift gears' as baseball season approaches.

I am no expert but let me tell you how I have done well......there is a Mitsubishi car dealership here in town and they hire a lot of recent Armed Forces Veterans (who seem to turn over pretty quick there while they go to the local university). When I go in I always ask for the newest sales man, I e...

I started discussing stuff with my sons at age 8.......I opened the dialogue by explaining to him that before he starts having girl friends he needs to learn to be a friend. I am lucky to have a great relationship with my wife, my mom & dad and my in laws also. We would all refer to our spouses ...

Sweden, Switzerland, Finalnd & Norway are said to have very firearms friendly laws.

Also Isreal is pretty reasonable in this regard though I suspect military weapons are more commonly found then sporting weapons there.

Why such a question......planning on leaving us?

Wm

Well I've never used the Ram Line stock but I am sure it is all its purported to be.

I would like to suggest you might want to look at a laminate stock instead. They are stronger than fiberglass, and better looking.

Wm

wm

OOOOPPPPPS I misread your post......I thought you were asking for those that HAVE a weakness for Winchester 86, 92 or 94s!

I've never known anyone to wear one out.....I've seen neglected and abused to destruction but never worn out beyond repair.

Hang in there.....we will keep you in our prayers.

Stay strong

I loved comic books when I was young....spiderman, fantastic four, swamp thing, Sgt. Rock, Iron Man......but my sons don't care for them.

I tried reading one of these new "graphic novels" which is just comic books for adults but I did not care for them.

Well done....I doubt you'll ever find fault with either of those two fine firearms.

I learned alot from him.....when I was younger & liberal I would watch his programs on the local PBS station hoping to see him taken down a peg or three but as time went by I found myself seeing his point and as I gained some real world experience and a little wisdom I started to learn from him....

Lord....I need to go hunting soon.

Nice pics....it looks like everyone had a good time.

Here in mid Michigan an 80% gun with honest wear (not from abuse or neglect) will often be found for sale for $250-$300. Should YOU buy it.....well that is up to you. Would I buy it for that much even though I really don't need it....Yes, sadly I would and gladly face many more weeks of PBJ lunches ...

wm

Yeah, but they generally don't survive long.

But you know it is like any other sort of buisness .......there are places that cater to enthusiasts and there are places that specialize in people with more dollars then sense.

Wm

wm

What would the Lyman sight go for by itself? $75 or so I think.....in which case you could say you got the rifle for $275 and that is a good deal!!

Good for you.....and I really am happy for you, but .....well...uh .....where are your pictures?

Wm

It might be a good one......Harris and Mortenson have done good westerns (& other genres too) before but for some reason I only get excited in advance if Tom Selleck or John Millius is involved.

They 'get' the western like few others currently in Hollywood.

Everybody (Ruger, Uberti, USFA, Taurus, etc) is building a SA revolver similar to the Colt SAA and making money but Colt went broke doing it.

Very Cool.......color me green with envy!!!

You may as well shoot targets with those firearms because you sure as heck can't take those out hunting.......don't you understand they are OBSOLETE?!?! :wink: That old 455 would be something to plink with! A buddy of mine had an old RCMP S&W in 455 and we used to play "nick the can" w...

Price seems a bit high to me here in Michigan considering the condition. It might be an ideal candidate for a project gun.

As Chuck said look over & under that finish very closely.....that ended up on there for a reason.

Wm

Yes......my first shooting gun was a Sears/Winchester semi auto 22. I have not shot it in years but it has a special place in the gun cabinet.

The other first....hunting rifle....still gets used regularly. A win 94 30WCF my Dad bought when he came back from WWII. Great old gun.

Every time I think of those Ted Williams rifles I have to chuckle to myself. I remember one day while I was looking at something in a gun shop a guy came in with one. He told the guy behind the counter he was wanting to sell it. the guy from the gun shop says well, it might be worth $75, which was ...

Well then you might consider a Handi Rifle in 308 or 7mm-08. It will give you a bit more range, buck the wind a little better and hammers bigger varmints.
