Just around the corner from 70..

missionary5155

I think it was 1982 when we bought our first Frame and two 7 TCU barrels .. one was 10" and the other14" Very accurate caliber !
Now we have more barrels and always looking for another. My favorites are the 414 Suppermag. Looking to get a 445 SM some day.

For numerous years the Woodsman Pal was issue in US Army aircraft.
The one we have is the military issue made in 1966. A pilot decided he liked it and brought it back with him.
I have used it a bunch down in river bottoms cutting lanes for archery deer hunting.

That is a fine looking Winchester 1892 ! And in one of the best calibers !
Here is another 1913 made 1892 in 44 WCF. This one is just about as bad as a 92 can be .

missionary5155

Fantastic and Congratulations ! Have to say a 45-70 is one fine cartridge to get the job done. Only caliber I can think of I would rather have along that we do have is the 50 Alaskan. That will be a whole lot of good eating. I like that "grill door" photo ! The one direction of a shot I ha...

Greetings Always measure the grove diameter and the chamber diameter "Before" investing in lead bullets. In caliber .357 we use lead bullets at least .001 over the diameters with smokeless powder shooting. Revolvers are also chamber diameter sensitive. Also lead hardness must be "matc...

Good Morning Nath Your public service to the community should be applauded. Farmers here need those pesky wabbits reduced badly. Guberment makes it costly to have and shoot firearms. Maybe they will all get scurvy. Tungsten is heavy and hard so probably not deform. Should penetrate nicely. Probably ...

Greetings Have several Micro-Dot red dot "scopes" on river bottoms rifles. They are as fast as anything. But If I hunted open ground where shots would be over 100 yards most of the time I would be looking at a standard type scope. Receiver sights (peep type) are very fast also once you rea...

Looking better every day. I also like the fact it has a good bore. That is the heart of the matter.

Good morning When I got shipped to Germany in 1972 I was at the PX and there sat a beautiful (to me) banjo. I bought it and a book to help me get started. About 3 months later I was sitting on CQ duty plunking away thinking I was actually getting somewhere. A fellow tanker from Tennessee (David B.) ...

missionary5155

Good morning As far as the internal barrel condition I would try and shoot it first with somewhat oversized cast bullets with gas checks. you might be surprised how well it will shoot. We have a 1873 with worn rusted interrupted rifling that would head shoot ground hogs / shoulders at 35 yards easy ...

missionary5155

I would have had a 44 short barrel.
But did not anyone have a staff, a knife, the capacity to improvise.... did they all just role over to get wacked ?
"Attack, repeat attack" should be drilled into the mind of every American... but maybe they were "one worlders".

Hello and G'day to you !
Just wanted to say hello to you from the other side of the "big blue" from our down under side.

missionary5155

Good morning Down here in Peru I have a 45 minute drive to "my spot" up a mountain outside the city where there used to be an old mine but closed for 20 years. When I am up north there normally once a week (half to all day) unless I have a special reason on another day to drive the 15 mile...

Another old "rat basher". We used clubs on the slow ones. Ben Luker had a dump out side Riverside, Michigan. Friday night get in the back of his pickup, his son driving and ease up to the piles with not lights. 22 rifles and shotguns pointed over the roof. Hit the brights and the fun began...

I would have to wonder if horse hair turns a rattler how come horses get bit ?

missionary5155

Greetings We have a 1886 (Jap) Winchester that was rebored and chambered to 50 Alaskan by JES 5 years ago. When we are up north it goes to the range with me far more than most other lever rifles we own. 50 Alaskan will produce more Thwap than the 50 SW but it does not have to be always loaded to sto...

missionary5155

Good morning If this is the bullet you want to shoot why not shorten the brass to suit the crimp groove ? Then you can use any safe powder your heart desires. Buy a box of Starline 44 WCF and go at it. Yes I have done this and have no regrets. Unique , Greendot, Reddot and 20 other powders that fill...

Good morning

Good evening
Only solution I know is get one of each and enjoy them both. After 30 years then you can decide which you like the best.

missionary5155

Good evening This past summer when we were up north there I had the joy to carry a #2 Model Frank Wesson rifle chambered in the 44 Wesson cartridge. Used 44 Starline 44WCF brass which is near a straight wall case from the factory which worked perfect. With a 200 grain slug cast of range scrap and a ...

missionary5155

Greetings First... that saddens my heart !!! That was a beautiful chunk of wood. I sure would try to save it. Living in Southern Peru on the "Rim of fire" we have had stuff smack the floor also... But thanks to God never anything of great value or so beautiful and useful as your Winchester.

missionary5155

Given the choice as a guard the 1894 would be with me.
Generally once prisons are armed the budget does not include much $$$ for upgrading the arsenal.

missionary5155

So looking at the prices... Is there a hint that maybe the Liberal / Socialist states have higher prices ??
Today in Arequipa Peru.... Got-cha all beat... $3.48 Another fine Socialist / Commi nesting ground.

missionary5155

Good evening That is a nice looking 1859 ! 50-70 is one fine caliber for popping whatever gets in the way. A round ball works real well on smaller critters. Have one also but our's is still with the original barrel. That "mechanism" was the "auto tape primer". Each time the hamme...

missionary5155

Good morning JerryB Those 357's are a lot of fun ! Now you need to work on one for the other hand. I would also recommend the receiver sight in that silly "safety hole" . You will not regret being able to see the front sight on the target.... And Yes.. Praise God for His blessings and kind...

missionary5155

Good morning Newer Rossi's have next to "0" collector value. I would pay some extra for a "Navy Arms" imported Rossi but not as a collector issue. Extra holes... If it was neatly done, the receiver sight holes to me would be a plus. I like receiver sights on my lever rifles ! Buy...

missionary5155

Good morning Have a Marlin and a Rossi. Have had several Rossi's and I personally like it far better than the Marlin. Our Marlin is very "bullet type " orientated. The Rossi's seem to feed most anything except wadcutters. For sub-sonic any cast pistol load under 1000 fps will do the same o...

Good afternoon
What no K-Bar ???
Have only one razor any more. Had 3 but two now reside with some one else. But the one a Solingen blade I have shaved with several times . 1st time was to find out if I could without need stitches. Few nicks.. They do get in close.

missionary5155

Greetings and Congratulations !
Popping a heifer with a Savage sounds like a right fine way to put a pardner to work. Amazing how a 260 from a lever flipper can get the job done.

missionary5155

Will be praying down here for him. God can do everything but fail.

missionary5155

Good morning
If he wants to sell it cheap I will buy it ! After all it doesn't shoot well !

Only getting to 74 and sunny here today... Oh well some of just have to endure !

missionary5155

Good morning Years back when I was doing the Cowboy shoots with 44 Russian S&W #3 revolvers I wanted a lever rifle that would cycle those stubby little cartridges. Contacted Marlin, Rossi, Winchester and Henry asking if they had researched the possibility of their lever rifles cycling 44 Russian...

Good morning and Merry Christmas !!!
Never stopped saying it nor ever will till they cut out my capacity to say / communicate those words.

Good evening Illinois was like most states... But if a doctor would write a letter for a previous bow hunter with a shoulder issue then that hunter could switch legally to a cross bow. I still shoot recurves but Illinois changed the rules so any bow hunter over 62 can now use one... So we bought a s...

Good morning
That was enjoyable to read. The "Why" He willingly came is the story ! Praises and Glory we all are included and invited to enter in.

missionary5155

Thank you for that info... been looking at those Jap-chesters and wondering about the 357's... Was that shooting done with any 180 grainers ?
I trust you have a whole pile more of good years with your wife. Always good to read about the commitments that move along over the years...

missionary5155

Yep that is a nice one! That "blue" is nice to look at !

missionary5155

Hard to beat 4198 in a straight case... especially when getting launched from a handsome rifle !
A peep or tang sight will sure clear up them blurry fronts. Near all my rifles have some sort of hole type on the rear.

missionary5155

That has to be a joy to be able to drive up into that beautiful area having that fine place to enjoy. Thank you for those photos !

Howdy JimT I enjoyed reading this. Praise God for His kind answers ! Pray has also helped me through numerous conditions and repairs in my life. When working on a Winchester 86 from the "land of the Set Sun" prayer opened my mind to take a look at a sight and there was a fine video tutoria...

Greetings Well that worked all the way from Peru ! First time this month I recon did not have to sign in again ! Thank you !!!

missionary5155

Good morning
We also have numerous caliber 50 cartridges and none have ever split. Our oldest is 1943. This is a unique happening !
When I was at FT Hood on M60A1 tanks we fired thousands of WW2 and Korean ammo. Do not remember seeing or hearing of any "split" cases.

missionary5155

Good morning About 5 months ago decided we needed another 99 but in the "Take down" type chambered for that fine 300 Savage. After about two weeks searching different sights came across one that was 85 % with a nice old steel receiver sight made about 1930. Price shipped to our FFL was und...

Greetings On the three we have we cut that lower leg all the way off. You can go the little bit at a time route. But one day you just may get that one primer that refuses to fire at the worst possible moment.... an up close shot at a yote you worked near 20 minute to call in. Since cutting the rebou...

Do you need any help ?

Halls carry the sights set off center to the left of the hammer.
We call our Flinter Hall made in 1823 "Vesuvias". When you touch off a Hall flinter the "touch hole" runs near vertical. The resulting ignition blows straight up.
