Well guys I bought a new lap top. I got a Dell for $250 and not sure if I like it yet. I'm not great with computers and I don't embrace change when it comes to computers. It will do everything I need it to do but the icons are different and some of the other thingys. I did stop at my favorite reload...

Looks like I'll be doing some shopping this weekend. My daughter has an apple that has been refurbished and I don't care for it. The university I retired from had a contract with Dell and we could get discounts buying Dells for personal use. I may check to see if we can still do that. I want a lapto...

My lap top is about dead. It keeps going blank and I have to take the battery out to reboot. I'm not a gamer so I just need one for email and checking out places like this. Do you guys have any that you really like? This one is an HP and has been a good computer but is like me and getting older. So ...

hondo1892

That's a sweet looking rifle you have.

Gangs didn't disappear when alcohol was made legal and they won't disappear when drugs are made legal. Why? Because as long as we have a government there will be things that are prohibited. The gangs don't care if its drugs, alcohol or lollipops they are pedaling. They are about power and money and ...

I think I heard we've had five days this month with no rain. Kentucky may have a rain forest soon if this keeps up.

hondo1892

Thanks guys.
Les I'll just carry more rifles.

hondo1892

Do any of you guys shoot three gun matches. I was watching the women shoot on TV and top shooters could really move fast. I want to set up a course for my daughter and me and would like some ideas. I have some from watching the match on tv but would like some ideas from some one that has actually sh...

What are you waiting for. If you are having weather like us it would be a day without rain.

hondo1892

Blaine have you posted a range report on your new 1911 in 9mm? If you did I must have missed it. I'm wondering how the nine shoots in the 1911. I've only owned .45's and thought maybe my wife could handle a 9mm better.

We were there in May back in 2007 and had great weather. There was snow up high but down at the lower elevations it was nice. We stayed in Powell with friends that had horses. They took my daughter and me out on some very nice rides. Went to the park and it was pretty empty, I think some of the park...

hondo1892

If I shot one that big I may have stayed another thirty hours in the tree before coming down. Nice bear though.

hondo1892

That is a nice rifle. I would like one in .45 if I were rich. Hope you get your deer with it.

hondo1892

Pete44 thanks, I make horns and other shooting accoutrements to get a short break from rifle building. This one isn't finished yet though. Needs some more aging on it. It is in the southern style with a turned horn band on it and big domed plug at the rear.

hondo1892

This is the best range report I will be able to give and its not very much. We've been having so much rain that I haven't been able to get much shooting done. I went to regulate the sights and got off about three rounds and it started raining. So I waited a till I had a day without rain and tried it...

Never shot a squirrel with a .32 but a lot of folks I know have. They all say if your shot doesn't hit the head you will loose a lot of meat. I have shot them with a .36 and that leaves a big hole in a squirrel. As far as repeaters and squirrels go, I've lost some using 10/22's and pump 20 ga. shotg...

So when you gonna make a 40 cal Scheetz from about the 1810-1820 time period

When someone orders one.

hondo1892

Thanks guys. I really like how it turned out, it just isn't the finish I first had planned.

hondo1892

Finished up the Tennessee squirrel rifle last week. It should have been done a week or two sooner. However I didn't like the way it was looking the first two times I started putting the finish on. So I had to do what the wood wanted to do rather than the finish I wanted. It's a love hate relationshi...

hondo1892

Jim, I'm very sorry for your loss, but at least you know she went to a better place. I'm glad your daughter will be with you. My sister and I had to do the same thing with my Father earlier this year. I think it will be a comfort having your daughter by your side at this time. Glad your still trusti...

hondo1892

I've shot a few but its been years ago and don't remember the results. You should get the same kind of patterns a modern revolver with rifling gives. I used the lubed felt wads and they don't need any more lube added. I've never had any problems with the black powder causing a fire hazard. The fire ...

hondo1892

Wasn't knocking any, just lots of little metal shavings. I thought maybe just an oil pump too but mechanic says them shavings are from the bearings. I'm no engine guru so I don't really know. I do know with all the electronic junk on the engine I can't pull it myself and rebuild it. I done it on an ...

hondo1892

I'm very thankful for the money. I'm just hoping that I can get a decent engine to replace it.

Lost my Mom this past feb. Wouldn't really call it a medical error though it might get classified that way. It was from a Dr. not paying attention to what the patient was saying. He gave my Mom prilisec for a cough that was caused by pneumonia. Said he thought it was heartburn.

hondo1892

Six, we're trying to locate one right now.

hondo1892

Good to hear your doing better and able to get out.

hondo1892

I wish I could crank out axes and rifles that fast. More will be made but not that quick. We knew we would be needing a new truck or doing some serious work on the Tahoe. We were just hoping it would be a few more years before that happened. I'm not mad about it. Its been a good vehicle for us I jus...

hondo1892

Not looking like a plugged screen. It had a heep of steel shavings that came out. I had a trans go bad and it had shavings in it but nothing like this.

hondo1892

Was thinking about a can for my AR and just sold the last axe I made. So I had a grand to play with, I thought. My mechanic called this morning and informed me that our Tahoe needs a new engine. It had been showing low oil pressure on the panel but the gas gauge has not been right for several years....

hondo1892

Thanks Doc that helped a bunch.

hondo1892

When I said $500 I meant between 500 and 600 not including the bribe.

hondo1892

Guys, I know some of you have suppressors on your rifles. I've been thinking a lot lately about putting one on my AR. What would you guys recommend? Direct thread or quick detach? I would like one in the $500 range. How long does it take for the stamp also.

hondo1892

Nath,I hope you didn't have the same virus I did. It took months to get over. Nice photo's as always.

hondo1892

Nice leather work.

hondo1892

Very nice photo and rifle or carbine.

hondo1892

Great snag. You could easily make your money back and then some from any Savage collector. Enjoy your new rifle and shoot it.

hondo1892

Could be Jerry. Thankful to him all the way around.

hondo1892

My day went pretty well. Last night after church I was setting and sorta watching TV and a thought came to me. Those don't come that often now days. I posted a couple photo's of my work on a for sale site that members of the CLA can use. Contemporary longrifle association that is. Well today I must ...

hondo1892

That was one unlucky rabbit. I wouldn't carry one of his feet for luck that's for sure.

hondo1892

Its hard to believe that 110 gr 38's and .308 brass would be discontinued. Those two items people buy by the boat load. The other older cartridges don't nobody make guns for anymore I can see.

hondo1892

Got my bullets today. They look good to me, haven't weighed any though. I wish they would have had more than one box.

hondo1892

Since the "Kentucky", "Pennsylvania" rifle discussion started. Here is what is know now. In recent years we've learned a lot more about them. Back in the day when they were used they were called "rifle guns". The "Kentucky rifle" name was never used until the ...

hondo1892

JNyork that's cool. I've never seen deer that could tell the difference between the round ball and bullets either.

Wanting to use smokeless in a muzzleloader to me is like wanting to load an 1886 Winchester 45/70 to .458 Win levels. Never knew why people want make magnums out of non-magnums.

hondo1892

Bill, I've met Roy a few times he's a good guy.
Thanks the Dr. gave me an inhaler with steroids and seems to be doing the trick.

hondo1892

Six, I love working with old wrought iron. It's pretty cool stuff when you learn how to work it. No one makes wrought today so you have to work with old scrap and few people will pay to have it on there rifle. But I use it when I make a rifle for myself. Yes I have two dogs, both are mountain curs. ...

hondo1892

The prop guys cut the barrel after they got it. I don't remember how many inches. Ron was a little disappointed when he seen what they did to hid rifle.

hondo1892

Jay, thanks for posting. I completely forgot this was Good Friday, I'm a week off. Happy Easter in advance. I'm glad Jesus died for us also.

hondo1892

Bought the last hundred that they had. Wish I could have gotten a couple more hundred. Probably would last me for several years since I don't shoot 223's very much.

hondo1892

If you all want to see how much smokeless it takes to blow up a 12L14 barrel take up a donation. I have several on hand in different calibers. I can't afford to blow up a $280.00 barrel but I put up the powder and firing mechanism. I think everyone will be surprised at the results. Most of the old b...

hondo1892

Doesn't say who made them. The pictures look like the ones that Hornady uses though.
