1894,
I feel your pain on the trans job. I too, have spent the better part of my life turning wrenches in order to have something to drive to work.

For the last 20 years I have been a Jeep fan....easy to work on and parts last long....as long as they are US made......not Mexican junk.-----6

Sixgun

Streetstar, You done well! :D In my 40+ years of snagging good guns, it has always been, "What are the most desirable guns, Winchesters or Colts?". Well, I am a Winchester man but I'll give you a hint which gun really moves the soul........the single action Colt. You have just started a li...

Sixgun

If that box was "Winchester" and not UMC, it would be more than double that.----------6

Sixgun

I'm at work right now and if you guys want to get sick, wait 'till later. I believe I have some that are marked "2 and 1/2 cents".

Not really, I'm just being retarded.----------6

Sixgun

I must have slept through this one.

Yea, send them to me and I'll lob a 2# concrete can at them. Gotta be close though, the cannon don't have rifling.

-----------6

Sixgun

For open sights I like a solid black square on white paper.....4" sq. @100 and 8" sq. at 200.

For scopes I like a 4" black sq. with 2" clear circle in the middle of it.-----6

Sixgun

Dusty,
I see you know enough not to play "alternations" with that barrel.

----6

Sixgun

I don't get it. Ms. Pelosi is of Italian heritage so that water should have just slid off of her or at the least, beaded up on her clothing.

I know these things, I'm Italian.

Sixgun

Throw that junk out. It's not worth the aggravation. These have taken THOUSANDS of hits, mostly from cast bullets from the 218 Bee to 500 grain bullets out of 45-70's. They have also eaten up at least 7-800 rounds from military 223, .308, and '06. I had these made up by Reaction Targets and are 3/8&...

Sixgun

Naaaaa I'm bored. With the exception of those new guns I've got them all.

I would like to have a Colt Burgess though, maybe a military Henry. Unless one of these comes up in an estate auction where no one knows what it's worth, it most likely ain't gonna happen.----6

Sixgun

Here's a few I just took

Deer season 1925

Sixgun

Nice configuration and as you know, very rare barrel type. What model? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.?------------6

Sixgun

Dang Cas, How did you find this thread? :D Its almost as old as me. Funny thing you brought this up as I got to foolin' with that old box of Lesmokes over the weekend. As there is only a dozen or so rounds left, I might as well blast em off. I'll save you a few to when we ever catch up at the York s...

Sixgun

Earl, That's all I have been doing to make ammo for the 32-40 for many years.......run a 30-30 case in a 32-40 FLS. They do come up a bit short but I just seat the bullet where it should be for max OAL and use a Lee FCD that Lee made for me. I have done a fair amount of testing the short brass vs. l...

Sixgun

Now, THAT is what I call a post of substance and on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 22.

It must have taken you quite some time to share those pictures to which we thank you very much!

I'm headed upstairs to share with my better half.

Your liven' large

-------6

Sixgun

Steve made some excellent points. In the end, you will never be able to wear out a Colt or a Ruger. Which one "turns on the soul" should be the one you get. Between car insurance and real estate taxes, I put out 6 g's a year and have nothing but a receipt to show for. I'm buying Colts.----...

Sixgun

While those guns are very cool, they do not dazzle true Colt collectors. We are much happier with a first gen in 50% condition, or for that matter, I'd prefer a couple of Colt Shooting Masters in 44 Spl. than those 5.-------6

Sixgun

His death has now been ruled a homicide....interesting, I wonder how this is going to play out? I'd be interested to know if there has ever been anyone else who has had 'homicide' listed as cause of death THAT far after a human-inflicted injury. Sounds more 'political' than medically-legitimate, ev...

Sixgun

Simply put.......

Forget the "instant gratification", save your money and hold out for a Colt.

If you really need to buy soon, get the Ruger.........follow Ray's advice and buy American-----6

Sixgun

Oh man, what a NICE configuration......low wall with a #1 barrel with condition and the icing on the cake.......a perfect bore.

I too, have always had a desire for that same rifle but the several I have looked at had sewer pipes.

That's an $1800-$2200 gun....nice!--------6

Sixgun

Funny thing, the only guns I ever dream about are ones that I already have. I have a once a month nightmare that someone is trying to pilfer my Winchesters and Colts and the next day I go out and spend another $500 on security.-------6

Sixgun

Griff, I hear 'ya bro! As you know, I load tractor trailers for a living and I hear the stories everyday. Last week, my bud, who hauls for Food Lion and owns a one man trucking outfit showed me a flat tire on his trailer with a huge nail sticking out of it. He bought the $300 tires (each...8 of them...

Sixgun

From one Jack to another Jack, it really depends on your availability on brass. Speaking for myself, I can get large quantities of common brass for little to nothing so I discard the military .223 to the scrap pile to be later recycled to money. If you have the time and are looking for ways to fill ...

Sixgun

The question is......where did he stand on gun control BEFORE the shooting? As far as I'm concerned, he was a vegetable afterwards, leaning towards a stalk of celery, maybe broccoli, but certainly no where advanced as a tomato. He was like a small child after the shooting, doing what he was told to ...

Sixgun

Joe gave an excellent example. Others can be when you want to crimp a lead bullet in a different spot because of a cylinder length issue or some swaged bullets just don't have a crimp groove.

Never pass up on tools if they can be had fairly priced. Tools take up little room and do not eat.-----6

Sixgun

A rifle that you put together and made it very nice is better than a $5000 store bought gun. Nice work.-----6

Sixgun

Like the other guys have said, excellent gun. It was discontinued because it put a hurtin on the sales of the 700. It's a rear locking bolt gun.....unusual. I've shot them in 308, 44 mag. and .222?. Can't remember, it was many years ago but I thought it was a 22 center fire. I owned one in 44 mag an...

Sixgun

Thats a tough call. Even in near perfect shape the gun is not worth more than 5 bills. So...why you buy the gun for $250 and sink another $250 for the barrel and a couple of hundred more for installation????? I'd forget about it. $100 tops and tell them why. What I would do is give them $100 and the...

Sixgun

THATS what I call "horse trading". Good snag and good luck!

----6

Sixgun

Dang Pete, yours is in better shape than mine. I gotta stop beating these guns.-----6

Sixgun

Sixgun: back in the mid-late 1970’s what were 1886’s going for? Remember seeing them around, but unfortunately I never took an interest. My interest in single shots and lever guns was rekindled when I transitioned from muzzleloaders to black powder cartridge rifles in the mid 1980’s. At that time, ...

Sixgun

Not quite sure if I have the credentials to answer that question. I've been shooting 45-70's out of several different 1886 Winchesters in 45-90 for only 39 years. Bought my first 86 in 45-90 back in '75. Sure you can do it and it was common practice back in the day as the price of 45-90 ammo costs m...

Sixgun

Ok, I use an I pad and I needed to enlarge the pic.-----6 (and Italian)

Sixgun

Cas, If you really want to get fancy, go down to the store where they sell farmer's supplies and get these little rubber o rings that farmers use to castrate baby bulls. Slip one of these babies on the end of the drop tube to limit how much the tube goes in the case. I guess the same thing can be do...

Sixgun

Firefuzz, I hear ya. At the end of your post I like #2 where if you are perceived as an easy target, you will be. (Or words to that effect) That's pretty much sums up my life and the persona I give to people. I'm a nice guy and always willing to help, but if I don't know you, hit the road. Here in t...

Sixgun

Frank,
Yep. The cases are now 4,000 rds.

Sixgun

What you have is an original Lyman tang sight.------6

Sixgun

My daughter is petite also, with small hands. I let her have my S&W Model 10, and she found it to be just the right gun for herself. It works very well with small hands, and luckily it has an excellent trigger along with being able to cock easily, so she can shoot single or double action no pro...

Sixgun

Vance, The .22 ammo thing is going to ease real soon. I told you guys earlier in the year that there are warehouses full of ammo but it was not being released because of some tax thing that's over my head. My bud got in a big load yesterday and he is selling it in bulk and that means there is more c...

Sixgun

Thats strange thinking...at least in these parts. Everyone I know in the gun game (and thats well in the double digits) has multiple calibers in multiple guns and lots of ammo for each gun. We dont concern ourselves with who knows what....its all within the law......and those who decide to steal our...

Sixgun

Six, A little left of that tall press far left. Is that an extremely long drop tub? If so how long is that thing? Do you have to use a stepladder to get to the top? 6 you seriously have got to have the coolest toy room I've ever seen :mrgreen: Nope. Thats an air compressor line that comes out of th...

Sixgun

I must apologize for the misinformation. I just came back from a drive at a 10 cent gunshow with my bud and he told me, "Sure, we will sell by mail, there's a 3% charge for a credit card and we just slap a UPS sticker on it and away it goes". So if you guys are willing to pay the 3% and sh...

Sixgun

Ha! That cat don't know what ammo is. It's all common garden variety ammo with no organization which can readily found at any of the better gunshops. THIS is ammo. :D ------6. (And just what I felt like showing the public). The only difference is that about 95% of everything I have don't break the 1...

Sixgun

That does not surprise me...on the BB gun still working. A few years ago this guy found an old Daisy pump and gave it to me. I did some research and found it to be made in the late 1920's. Still worked. In fact, it worked so good I put it on the internet and got $260 bucks for it, to which we split ...

Sixgun

Definatly replace the o ring with a factory part. It is made of a very hard special rubber and is heat resistant. A regular automotive type o ring will soon fail. One other thing that most people never check is the recoil spring. Remove the butt stock and you will find a steel tube threaded to the ...

Sixgun

Well, it looks like your a happy camper now! Yea, there's not much that more pleasing than coming home with a nice rifle. You done well. As that's a pre-war, you will notice that the tang is factory d&t for a tang sight, so.....get moving young man and pop an old Lyman on there! That gun will ha...

Sixgun

Man! That stuff looks good enough to spread on bread.---------6

Sixgun

OK, Your in luck as I just happen to have a sale this week on balloon cases. They will be $12 for each case and a minimum of 200 cases per order. :D I'm at work right now and I'll check out my inventory tonight and get back to you.------6 Is the York show anytime soon? They usually have lots of good...

Sixgun

Can't remember offhand and I don't keep notes for that but IIRC, I could not get the whole amount in there. It was not an important reloading adventure as after a few shooting sessions, the mess was not worth the added time when 9 grains of Herco made for a hassle free day of shooting.-------6

Sixgun

From all those episodes of "Pawn Stars", they only like to give ½ the retail value... so they've got LOTS of wiggle room. Take CASH... several crisp $100 notes.... Start at 3 and stop @ 5... slowly! From there, never add more'n a fifty... and twenties'd do nicely! Also, bores are nice... ...
