Good morning Last one I bought in October was $300 unfired. At a gunshow and the dealer was tired of carrying it around. Another was bought for $150 but it was a bit rusty around the edges and the nipples had to be machined out. But it is a shooter. Both are Blue. So if you are ina hurry... buy what...

Good morning
I wonder if the quickly deflating balloon would go flying about the area if the stakes were not used... imagine the story that would be.

Good morning I have trimmed cases in pistol and rifle to get a certain bullet to chamber or cycle. But you must clearly mark those cases so in the future you might not mistake them for a full length case. Also do not remove more than needed. I have filed marks in the rims and used permanent felt pen...

Good morning I have 2 origonal 1892 SRC 44-40´s. Out to 100 yards there is no need for a ladder sight. IF I needed to repel a group of hostles that were advancing across open country or hidding in some exposed rocks at 200 + yards then that ladder sight would be an advantage to place repeated shots ...

Good morning I have been releasing from recurves since I was 14 years old. All I have to say is Practice, Practice, Practice until you can hit a 6" circle. I start every hunting season the same... 10 yards. When I can put 5 arrows into that circle I make it 4". Then I start backing up 3 pa...

Good morning
The owner of the river bottoms I hunt when up north there rents a hay field about a mile away. That owner will NOT alow hunters. It is common to see 60+ deer there in an evening. Highest count was 74 in mid October.

missionary5155

Good morning I have to ask myself... If they are so rare... howcome? Is this one of those items No one wanted.. it was not practicle... it was a real pain to use ??? As 44-40 was the top cartrige in the 73 model who really needed a long range sight. Looking at pictures of 1873´s taken 100 plus years...

Good morning
I do not get real choosy. I am just looking for whatever comes along I can afford at the moment. Trading material is great to have.
But the top of my list is a good used matchlock... possible leaning to the Dutch design. Then a Spencer. And any 38 caliber rifle that looks interesting.

Good evening
I guess I grew up in a home of obseletes..
I shoot the ;
41 Colt 44 Russian 50-45 38 Colt 7.63 mauser in handguns
44-77 43 Spanish 50-70 32-20 45-60 30-40 in rifles

And do not forget it was the Canadian Embassy in Iraq that gave refuge & escape to the Embassy staff members when Iraq was turned into the Islamic Terrorist camp it is today during the presidency of Carter. Good neighbors are not always easy to come by and we have one of the best !

I wonder how much more pressure it would take for a HUGE industrial machine to turn out a swaged bullet using lets say wheel Weight ? I would think companies that can swage primer pockets in brass can surely swage a harder lead bullet than what is available. There just is no desire in the jacket bul...

missionary5155

Good evening Remember ECONOMICS is the key word. Those loading amnuals are designed to get you hooked on the Jacket bullet road. IF company X wrote REAL cast bullets loads they would be cutting their own sales throat. I would not be surprised to find out most the "Cast Bullets are no good"...

Good morning I have wacked several rifles over the years due to damaged muzzles. Every smithy I have talked to all say... " stay at least 1/2" longer than the law & you will never have any trouble. Try to be just at the mark and the "Black Coats" are gonna take your house apa...

missionary5155

Good morning I agree... BUY ! BUY ! BUY !!! Then you can sell it to me when a 41 shows up. I watched Gunbroker and others for well over a year until MY 41 showed up at a price I could afford. NO I will not sell it. You cannot imaging what a 265 GC pushed by 1680 will do to unwarry critters. BUT a 44...

Good morning
With the 94 other LONG cartriges appeared the best of which is the 38-55.. a vast improvement in power in a light weight rifle.
The smokeless powder era had arrived and the 94 was there on the spot.

Good morning
Anything will eventually stop a bullet given enough of it.
What you will face with snow is it packed.. wet.. or just that nice fluffy stuff laying there ?
This is what Avalanch crews test ( plus much more)for as they rate the stability of snow accumulation on mountain sides.

missionary5155

Good morning
Simple put.. BIG holes are always better.
In caliber .45 I can load a round ball to shoot bunnies and a 300 grainer to tackle big mean critters.
There is nothing wrong with a caliber .30... it just does not stack up to a caliber .45.

missionary5155

Good morning
When I NEED a price check I go to Gunbroker.com and see what people will pay. All the books on earth will not replace REAL market value.

missionary5155

Good morning
Bigger holes are always better. A 357 170 grain bullet Moving at 2000fps will smack a deer over a wider area and cause more damage than a cal .30 170 bullet moving at 200fps.
I no longer shoot either. I moved on to the 38 rifles and really get the job done.

missionary5155

Good morning I carry Gerber U.S. of A. My daily everywhere carry is the current Gebrer Military "Easy out style" with the S30V steel blade. Got it from a kind Iraq return trooper. That S30V steel does hold a good edge. In a pouch I carry a Gerber tool. This is the 4" long model. It ha...

The web sight says the primary MARCH is in Washinton D.C..
You have to go to the websight to see IF your state has a March organizing. I would assume the STATE marches would take place at the respective capitals.
I would think you could also call some gunshops and get better info.

Howdy Travis Morgan 19 April 2010. That is the date posted on the websight. That websight link appears in the 1st post on page one.
Your signature is a GOOD one ! God Bless your days.

Good morning
I have two "Woods/river bottoms" leveractions. #1 is my favorite: a Marlin 41 mag CB ltd and a Ruger Blackhawk . My #2 combination is a Rossi M92 in 45 Colt with a Ruger Blackhawk. I know of nothing that is in our area of the state of ILL that Either caliber cannot handle.

missionary5155

Good morning I have been doing a little "Recon" of other sights to get a feeling what other gun people think & say about the MARCH. A certain revolver collector sight is chocked full of "NO it wont do any good... more harm than good... The finances involved would be better spent w...

How about just leaving the cats alone? Then you would not have to worry about it. Good afternoon 10 years ago the Dept. of Wildlife in east central Illinois turned loose numerous large cats to keep the deer population in check.

From Peru I am praying . And for you that God gives peace to your heart.

Greetings and Welcome! One way I figure gun value is to go to Gunbroker.com and view as many similar rifles as possible and see what people will actually pay for one. I could look up my Ballard in a book and say it is worth $ xxx But if people will not pay it then it sure is not worth that to others...

Hello again EWT I did a little searching about and there is a feller over at CASTBOOLITS that is selling all sorts of 38 caliber lead rifle slugs for $18-20 per hundred. I have no stock in that sale.

Good morning I would always want a bigger hole to leak out faster. Why not just take the plunge and learn the EASY steps in reloading. Do you want to be enslaved to the factories for your Right to fire your weapon(s). I have been around reloading all my life and MUST say I am thankful for it. I have...

Good morning I am sure Winchester kept up with metal blending advances so probably the 1930 models are possibly the best. I have a 1907 38-55 that was well hunted and probably cycled the thousands of times it takes to really make an action slick. Came out of Minnesota and it is by far my favorite 94.

missionary5155

Good afternoon Thank you for taking the time to post this. That is one fine piece of work ! I enjoy putting together and your efforts are an encouragement to continue on. I only have a drill press and hand tools but I figure if the Hindus can build with hand tools I sure can try. Problem here is the...

Good morning I could see popping groundhogs in the ditches, racoons off the yard with a handy light weight lever gun. A 16 .5 " barrel would be about right. A Winny 92 frame would really make a nice pachage. I like Marlin´s in calibers that start with a "4" But that is just to much fa...

Good afternoon When I was a kid I took a shot at a fish once with my .22 and when the water calmed the fish was on the bottom just lying there. I jumped in, retrieved the fish & there was not a mark on it. Became part of supper.

missionary5155

Good morning All them pesky screws... I pulled off all scopes some years ago and went to peep sights. Just my coyote .223 rifle has a scope now. But as I approach 60 I sure need my Steiner glasses to see the target holes at 50 yards to be sure. Another 10 years and I guess the scopes will ge back out.

I have 2 Rossi's (45L Colt). There is nothing wrong with either. One is an older Interarms mark & the other has no other markings. Both shoot straight and digest my reloads with no fuss.

GOOD EVENING REMEMBER YOU CAN CUT THE BARRELS ANYTIME. Me I would start with the barrel in origonal length. Measure the bore at the forcing cone and as far down as possible.
