What a beast! I confess I want one! According to the internet,

It propels a 993gr Armor-Piercing Incendiary bullet to 3300 fps, burning 480 grains of powder in the process.

I was just thinking about him this morning and was going to make some calls before I saw this post! Thanks for the update Jim! I'll also keep praying, the end of the month is nigh! -Tutt

That's really cool!

I particularly like the snubbiie for something different!

Maybe minimize the cut down? The '86's come in 13 and 1/4ths LOP right now for model year 2024. https://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/model-1886/model-1886-deluxe-rifle-case-hardened.html Maybe you don't really need to do much from what you are saying? Always try it out first before cutting...

WOW, some "good pointers" here!!! Some thoughts. Drawdown, I know some of the prices listed on Winchester's website for 2024 model leverguns seems high, but when compared to the prices of Ruger/Marlin guns, and some of the recent posts on the internals of the new Marlins, I would rather ta...

Thanks for that information Walt!!!

The article I posted above is from the original armorer who had accepted the job and then canceled on Baldwin and Company at the last minute after the movie company reneged on the terms. Very shady movie outfit. -Tutt

Yup. In the time that takes she will have served most of her sentence I bet. She sure did not seem remorseful. Here is another interesting take.

What the prosecution did was inexcusable,. The entire state prosecutors office, from the bottom to the top, made a deliberate choice to conceal evidence from the defense. The judge apparently thought the unforced error could not be corrected for. This article about as good as any other. I'm angry be...

CowboyTutt

Yup, dismissed with prejudice, meaning he cannot be re-tried. Prosecution really screwed up this case so many times. It's tragic for the ladies family, justice will not be served here, this time. -Tutt

Everyone loves a '71. I'm glad some bullets are still available in .348, I had thought they had pretty much dried up.

CowboyTutt

Well, while the receiver on those rifles look OK, I find the checkering butt ugly and don't see myself ever buying one. That is certainly some horrible rifling though.

Thanks Bill! I figured that article had to be around somewhere!!! I did do some searching but could not find it. Jim, Milt indicated he can do it, and a few other things for me while Gary is very limited on time for my other upgrades. Randy A. recommended Milt to me, I think I will be in very good h...

I'm sending out my Ruger Bisley in 45 Colt, a gun already tuned by Bob Munden almost 20 years ago, to Milt Morrison of QPR Precision Gunsmithing. Milt has been around quite a long time as a gunsmith but is still unknown to many I think. Just a quick bio from his website: About QPR Precision Gunsmith...

He sounds like an amazing man for sure and quite the inspiration. It sounds like he died doing what he loved the most in the world. May God bless him and his family. -Tutt

I guess it depends on what you want to use with iron sights, or scopes or whatever. I'm still reluctant to use scopes, and prefer a good set of irons, but there will come a day when that is not possible. -Tutt

Doc and Six, our friendship remains intact no "whatever" and don't worry about our differences. We are still always friends. Six, just don't expect me to partake. I had a good friend many years ago, a good motorcycle buddy and pig hunter. He and his son took me for what would become a long...

CowboyTutt

Thanks for the report Gunny! I need to find some clay I guess now for my 30 caliber pellets. I have at least 3 pellets and 4 slugs to try. Still working on accuracy testing first though, and sighting in. -Tutt

Um, i think there is a very significant difference between "crack" cocaine and marijuana, they are not the same! Your mileage may very. If your advocating for marijuana usage, please leave me out of it as a retired school psychologist as the research now is overwhelmingly it hurts younger,...

MM, those are really cool, beautiful firearms that I don't think I've ever heard of or seen. Can you tell us more about them??? I for one, would be very interested!!!

Ambracol, yeah Hatsans are spotty, like an older Rossi where substandard parts were made to work by hand-fitting lol. I have not experienced what you describe with mine, but maybe I got lucky.

I think it's primary purpose was to shame the Biden family as Trump's trial was to shame him and label him a felon as well so they can refer to him as such. -Tutt

Regarding the lapping, I decided to make do with what I have handy as most of my gun supplies are still buried in the garage. I used some Turtle Wax Polishing Compound paste light to medium and my 50.15 grain pellets which are perfectly shaped to smear some on the flat shaped waist of the pellets. I...

I spent a few hours in my back yard today with my 30 break barrel. Almost have it perfectly sighted in with the 50.15 grain pellets at @ 500 fps with its Tru Glo iron sights at 20 yards. I only have less than 100 rounds through it so far and they recommend about 150 before you start shooting for gro...

CowboyTutt

Doc and Gunny Mack, I think it depends how far you want to shoot. Non PCP guns are pretty much designed and limited to pellets which tends to limit distance. If you want to shoot longer range with accuracy and more terminal energy, you want a PCP that is set up to shoot "slugs". I do have ...

CowboyTutt

Good to hear! I have a friend who recently returned from Japan, used to want to go there, not so much anymore but still interested. Texas is on my list again to meet some people. I have always liked the 45 Supe and sounds like a neat project. I ended up going the 10mm route instead since it was easi...

My two favorite videos so far on air gun ballistics that explains everything very well.

My bad, I didn't articulate myself very well. I know 22 LR was made, but what I need and was hoping for was 22 Mag cases. I'm working on a little hot-rodding 22 Mag project and it will work with brass cases, but if I could find some steel cases, that would probably be a game changer! I'm told since ...

CowboyTutt

The Barracuda's seem to have a good reputation for accuracy. In most cases, 850 fps is the best maximum velocity for accuracy with pellets. The manufacturers advertise more velocity as a selling point but again, best accuracy is keeping pellets sub transonic. Airgun "slugs" are a different...

CowboyTutt

Gentlemen, I was speaking with a forum member yesterday who did some really cool things with 22 LR using steel cases that he re-primed. I am wanting to get back to my handloading projects including 22 Mag and I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone ever produced ammo for it using steel cases (say ...

First off, I guess I should apologize for my long absence here. I was not the same after my last trip to Ukraine in September of ’23. I made it safely throughout Ukraine after flying into Poland and crossing the border by shared rides into and out of Ukraine. After that visit, old things just didn’t...

I've heard something similar about my 71/84 Mauser. It was made in 1888 and I've been warned from even using jacketed bullets, much less monolithic bullets, even soft ones like Hawk Bullets which are pure lead and have softened jackets. I'm not sure how the German steel and American steel compare fo...
