Yes, congratulations. We're coming up on our 40th soon.

Chas.

Good lookin pup and he's been eating well.

Chas.

Done!

Chas.

Joe, you have way too much time on your hands.

Chas.

Looks like #2 and #3 are both lever-set. I understand the RR required that.

Chas.

MOST EXCELLENT!! I liked their rendition of Rolling in the Deep much better than Adele's, really.

Chas.

It's my understanding that the laws that govern black powder are a bit different that those that govern smokeless because black powder is classified as an explosive. Don't know if that's true or not.

Chas.

Here's a good step-by-step on how one fellow made a cowboy holster. Good pics.

Nice set ups boys.

Cat

Yep, that's what it is - 10-inch BFR 45-70.

Chas.

Here's one of mine I made just for fun. The weight of that handgun will pull your pants down if they're not real tight.

Chas.

I've cleaned the bores of handguns and wow, it works - right now. Whenever I clean the receiver with brake cleaner, I just shoot it down the bore as well. However, I never use it indoors, always outdoors - even when bitter cold out.

Nath, I have Opanda loaded on my PC and when I right-click on pics, it gives info (sometimes).

From the pics, it looks like a Samsung ES74 or ES75.

Prayers sent. I wish you well.

I found copper "chore boys" and just wrap a little around a decent fitting brush, and then follow up with patches soaked with FP10 followed by a few dry ones. Couldn't have said it better....except I use CLP instead of FP10. And I don't clean every time I shoot one. I just clean maybe a c...

This isn't about leverguns and I've told this before, but when I took my carry class, I used a single action. In this state you can use about anything you want for the carry class. Nearly all the guys were younger than me (heck, everybody's younger than me) and were using a variety of plastic guns. ...

Chas.

The folks over on The Ruger Forum comment about scratches and blemishes coming back on repaired gun quite often. I disagree. I spend more time there than here and "quite often" is a stretch. Does it happen? Sure. But "quite often"? No. In this case, I'd probably touch it up myse...

Chas.

Hmmm....didn't see what size the belt was. People need to post accurate data if they're trying to sell something.

Chas.

Mr. Wright, you bring up a point that I've been curious about. What size should the throats be relative to groove diameter. For example, if the groove diameter is .458, ideally what diameter should the throats be? Smaller? Larger?

Chas.

Dis-assemblying Marlins is very easy. To aid in loading, dis-assemble to the point that you can remove the loading gate. It's only 1 screw. Then, by grinding, decrease the width of the flat spring. Dip in water often while grinding to keep it cool. I decreased mine by about 1/3 and it made loading v...

Real military hummers....are worth it....

Real hummers cost from $65,000 to $140,000 depending on how equipped. May be worth it for the military, but not for going to the grocery store, unless stylin' and profilin' is your thing.

Chas.

Prayers said. You have a safe and successful trip.

Chas.

You said "It's in 32-20 with some rifeling left." If you clean it good, it may have more rifling than you think. The grooves may have lead build-up.

Chas.

I have 2 BFR's, both 45-70. They're my favorite of the guns I own. The only problem I have is using the 10-inch for fast-draw. Fanning a .45-70 is a bit of a challenge as well. :D Seriously, the GF's and CF's are made by Pine Tree. In the early years, Ruger made some of the internals as well. Not su...

Chas.

Just ran across this the other day and never seen it before - concept Dodge Tomahawk. http://www.svvs.org/goodw'fs3/Dodge%20Tomahawk.jpg 0-60 in 2.5sec. Theoretical top speed near 400mph. Since it has 4 wheels it's technically not a "motorcycle". http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahaw...

Chas.

I would take all my photos from the gun turret that houses my MaDeuce.

Fella over on graybeard is shooting a 405gr 45-70 at 2500fps. I will promise that you won't shoot but one or two of those in a BFR.

Right. Just like Ford makes a better product than Chevy - always has, always will.

I'm a range officer, but only recently so I can't relay any experience. I've worked 3 days and it was a piece of cake.

See this thread http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewt ... =1&t=33324

Chas.

I have one. Every time I tried to use it, I ended up a bloody mess.

Chas.

My Grandfather raised 4 boys (one of which was my father) and tended his farm with only a Winchester model 97. Later he bought a .22 single-shot. I guess anything more than that is just luxury.

BTW, I have that old '97 and it works as well as it did when he bought it.

Chas.

I'd like to know what everyone uses for hearing protection. I have been using cheap set of earmuffs that I got at Walmart. I'd like to buy a new pair that has the electronics to allow converstion while blocking gunshot sound. I'm looking at the Radian Pro-Amp for a possibility. Any suggestions?

Chas.

Do you know what part of southwestern Virginia? I own some land in Lee county, the southwestern most part.

Chas.

I work on vintage outboards quite a bit and an impact driver is an absolute MUST. They work wonders.

Chas.

If that is just the way Smith and Wesson sales there guns and it is not screwed up I will be trading it in on a BFR. You won't be unhappy with BFR. I have 2. My older one, a .45-70, has between 2000 and 3000 rounds through it and it's just as tight as the day I bought it. I've never messed with FA,...

Chas.

It always amuses/amazes me that folks who own guns with screws in them don't consider the fact that screws can and will loosen, especially when exposed to the repeated jolt of firing. It always amuses/amazes me that folks have to run around their guns tightening screws. If a screw comes loose on me...

Chas.

Pitchy, I'm curious about the mag tube. I've never seen a stock G with a full-length mag tube. Is that one of your additions/mods?

Chas.

Short answer is yes, you can ship to an FFL dealer, as far as BATFE is concerned. To better answer your question - is it a long gun or a handgun? Some of your shipping options are different. Also, there may be state laws that come into play where you live that are more restrictive than federal law.

Chas.

Last week at the range, the range officer asked me if I was shooting BP because of the smoke. It was 24gr. A2400 and a 300gr RNFP in a .45-70. It did make a lot of smoke.

Chas.

I have been praying for you as well, and may the Lord keep you in His healing embrace.

Chas.

Of the ones I have:

CENTER-FIRE RIFLE: Marlin 1895CB (.45-70)
RIM-FIRE RIFLE: Remington 511 (bolt gun)
SHOTGUN: Remington 12ga. Wingmaster
HANDGUN: BFR (.45-70)

Chas.

I began having squib loads w/31gr. of H4198 in 45-70 cases. That was a couple of years ago. I've also read of other folks having that same problem with that same powder. Either it was a bad lot that I and others got or it takes a real hot primer to light off H4198.

I waited 46 days to make my first 2011 purchase. I think I did pretty good. Although I haven't seen it yet, it's a Ruger Blackhawk .357. Gunshop, Jaqua's, said it was in excellent shape.

Chas.

I'll bet it is heavy. Notice the difference in barrel thickness betwee it and my Marlin 1895CB (.45-70).

Here's some SAAMI specs for primer pockets on the LASC website http://www.lasc.us/primerchart.htm . Looks like SR and SP are the same.
