Not levergun but very interesting. I picked up a pretty good book on E-bay on sale for $20. The name is "The Model 1903 SpringField Rifle And It's Variations". By Joe Poyer. I thought I knew a little bit about the bolt action Model 1903 but boy was I wrong. I never realized how many differ...

Can you just imagine how much fun those guys had to have had on the movie sets. Just imagine Dean Martin and John Wayne on the same set. It had to just be an unlimited amount of laughs. I always thought the best movie set of all time would have been on of two movies. Either the John Wayne movie the ...

A slight thread drift here, but does anyone else remember the reason why John Wayne had to quit playing football for U.S.C.? I believe he had a lower back injury. I also believe that was one of the reasons for the way he kind of walked to the side with a slight dip?? I think I am right on that?? Tom.

This is a fun topic. So critique away on my choice. My choice was the Case StockMan. For several reasons. First is how slender the main blade is. By not being as wide it will allow a few things. First when gutting I like a thinner blade because it cuts easier. Second when skinning the hardest part i...

Is that one of the ones with the Circassian Walnut?? If so then that rifle has been discounted a good bit from where they started. I was looking at one of the 30-40 Krag's they recently had. It was a good bit more the last time I looked. If they dropped the 30-40 I was looking at to $900 I might hav...

There is a fellow on "The Sniper's Hide" that has a Little Big Horn H&R Carbine for sale. He wants $500 for it. The rifle has some dents and dings on the stock. I was looking at it. But there were too many dings for me to buy it. So I thought I would tell you guys about it. Maybe one o...

Where does it say that?? Tom.

How do you tell if a Marlin 1894 has Ballard rifling or Micro-Groove Rifling??

I believe I understand the difference. But another explanation would be nice. Thanks, Tom.

I use Minwax on my rifles. And especially on my MZ's. I also use it heavily if it might rain (wood to metal). Tom.

The model 61 was used to put a shot into the head of the deer and ended its struggle. So first day out, the 61 limited on squirrels, and put a deer out of its misery. I did that one time when a friend was bow hunting in the state of MD. Exact same situation. My friends brother dispatched the deer f...

No big deal Mike. This boy is a born hunter. And I really have a blast taking him. Tom.

That little girl will suprsie you. Keith had cold feet, but she didn't complain a single bit. And she gets right in there with him. A couple of really great kids.

However they are not my children. They are my best friend's son and daughter. Tom.

Well we got my little buddy on a deer this evening. It wasn't easy. But we got 'er done. He made a great front shoulder shot at about 40 yards. I taught him to say SQQUUUEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEE as he pulls the trigger. This has stopped him from yanking the trigger, and lifting his head off th...

I have one of the Officer's Model. I really like mine. But as said above the front sight was too short. I also put a taller white bead on mine. The only thing I did not like about mine was the rear tang sight. They could have put a better ladder on the sight. The unmarked one they used just makes it...

What did hunters do before cell phones? Or before GPS or Kawasaki Mules? Can you tell I don't care for cell phones?

I guess I would have to stay home. My wheelchair doesn't work so well in the woods. Tom.

Paladin thank you very much. That might be exactly what I am looking for. I have a Dunham's about 10 miles from my house that handles the system. I am going to contact them. Thanks again for that information. Tom.

Guys when it comes to technology I consider myself as inept, or flat out ignorant. So hopefully a couple of you techies can help me out. PLEASE. I want to try and do a little deer hunting this year. However I have to do all my hunting from my Kawasaki Mule. The areas that I hunt do not have alot of ...

I am going to watch that auction also. If it sells I am going to buy a bunch of 94's. That is a sub $250 rifle in my area. Definitely not worth $300 in my area. You can pick up Pre-64's for $450 or less around here. Especially one day after the end of deer season. Tom.

I finally got my little buddy a squirrel this afternoon. This was our third hunt this year. I never realized how difficult it could be to get a youngin on a squirrel. But it was all worth it.

One of my favorite memories of my dad was every year the two of us would go on a squirrel hunt that always turned into a walnut picking trip. Me and my dad would always pick a couple 5 gallon buckets of walnuts. Then every year we would sit by the pot belly stove in his out building and process the ...

I ordered the rifle from TVM. But I had them do the work. The rifle is a 50 caliber with a Rice 38" swamped barrel. The lock is a large Siler, with a Davis set trigger. Add a chunk of nice Maple and alot of handwork. They do a nice job. The wood to metal fit is very nice. And the swamped barrel...

Not exactly a lever gun. But I thought you guys might enjoy my new MZ. The brown truck dropped it off this morning. Now I need to get out on the front porch and regulate those sights.

Firewood. I know a few guys who own and run full time mills. As well as a few people who also own portable mills. They would not even consider putting that log on their mill.

I like a mixture of marinate of soy sauce, teriyaki, Worcestshire, brown sugar, and liquid smoke. I usually marinate for 48 hours. The longer the better.

I never fool with the burger for jerky. don't like it. I like to slice the steak thin and long. Then de-hydrate. But not too dry. Tom.

Those aren't what I usually think of as buff cuffs. Butt cuffs have a storage pouch/pocket or shell/cartridge loops. IMO, the items pictured are lace-on recoil pads. :?: I am a lefty, the loops are on the other side. And it actually is not a recoil pad. There is no padding in the cover. I put it on...

I have one from LeverGuns Leather on my Low Wall in 45 Colt. I have it on there because of the crescent butt plate. If not for that crescent butt plate I would never put one on a rifle. There is no doubt in my mind that the leather will affect the finish on the stock. Tom. http://i121.photobucket.co...

I remember my dad telling me a story about ammunition during the Great Depression. He told me my Grandmother would serve coffee to the state Troopers and ask for shotgun shells instead of money. She also sold some Shine during that time. So she would see the State Troopers a good bit of time. But th...

I cast a Lyman 405 grain bullet. But any good 405 cast bullet will do. Back it up with 40.0 grains of RL-7, and a good crimp. Works great for me. Although I could make a good case that 40.0 grains of RL-7 is more power than one needs for deer. Tom.
