Three days late but thank you, Ysabel Kid! Semper Fi, Treetop

A late "Thank you" from the now 72 year old Treetop!

An old NRA Service Rifle, Master class shooter, showed me this trick decades ago. I've used it ever since on all my rifles that don't have an easily removed bolt. The illustration shows a .243 cartridge case that I cut off with tubing cutter. Semper Fi, Treetop https://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o1...

Thanks, Griff, that means a lot to me.

Thanks, fellow levergunners! 71 years young... Semper Fi, Treetop

.45 Colt , I have two A-5s with the trigger guard, Garand style, safety. I'm also a southpaw so I have used these 2 shotguns, a standard weight 12 ga. and a standard weight 16 ga. for all of my shotgun needs for literally decades with no issues whatsoever. My Dad, who passed away in 1987, was a Bro...

Treetop

Me, with my M-14, during infantry training at Camp Pendleton Ca. in August of 1968. Back then, I was 6'7" tall, hence my life time nickname of "Treetop". At 70 years old, I'm still 6'6" tall and my middle grandson is 6'8" tall at 16 years old! It appears to be a family curse...

I'm addicted to the old western movies so I'will get lots of mileage out of this link, Pitchy! Last year, my middle grandson ran a special cable (HDMI?) from my computer to my TV so I can watch Internet movies on my big screen TV. I had no idea that you could do that, but I sure have enjoyed it! Sem...

Treetop

Thanks guys! I'm celebrating my 70th birthday today by recuperating from having a 9mm sized kidney stone pulverized from my right kidney yesterday! Ouch! I'm going for an office visit in 2 weeks, to have the ureter stent removed. I'm not looking forward to that part at all because they don't sedate ...

Treetop

What ammo were you shooting, jdad? The reason I ask is, mine shoots similar groups with Federal Auto Match. This ammo was recommended by several CZ 452 owners on another forum.

Your rifle is beautiful and obviously a shooter, too! Semper Fi, Treetop

Yet another vote here for White Label Lube's BAC. I use it exclusively for everything from .38 Special low velocity wadcutters to 2,000 fps 311299s and 311284s for my 2 M1-As and my Garand. I have two lubri-sizers, one stays setup for .30 caliber and the other gets it's dies switched out regularly a...

Treetop

Thanks to all who replied to this Marine Corps birthday mesaage, from an old Vietnam era Marine! This being retired business is more time consuming than I thought it would be. Thursday, the Marine Corps birthday, my neighbor (another Marine) asked me to drive my big tractor over to his house to move...

Treetop

Thanks to all of my "Levergun" brothers that took the time to wish me a Happy 69th birthday! Tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 5, the Texas whitetail season opens and I will be in my box stand that I built in the early 1980s. It's still in it's original location, right above the intersection of two ...

Well said, AJMD429! Well said, indeed.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do the initials EBR stand for? I may have one and not know it by those initials!

That is great news, ted! Prayers for Jeff's recovery will continue from the "Treetop" hacienda...

Treetop

POTWU (prayers on the way up) for my fellow "southpaw", Jeff. And also for his wife and Boge and all the rest of his immediate family.

Speaking of family, Jeff has a huge "internet family". If we would all offer Jeff up in prayer, miracles will happen! Tt.

This is an excellent article, cshold ! All of my life I've yearned for a pre-64 Model 94 and now that I've retired and we occasionally have a few bucks extra at the end of the month, I'm seriously on the hunt for one. My question is: What is the serial no. range for the last of the pre-64s? I would...

Treetop

Thanks for the information and opinions, guys! Sorry it took so long for me to reply, we are having a new home built on our family ranch in central Texas so it's been very hectic around the Treetop hacienda lately! It's going to be very nice to have a 300 yard range literally in my backyard and Mrs....

Outstanding hunt and post, JRD!

Treetop

My LGS owner, who obviously has his choice of firearms, keeps a Ruger 10-22 loaded with a BX-25 magazine beside his bed. The more I think of that idea, the more merit it has. Those who would recommend an AR for use in the home have probably not fired one in a home before without hearing protection. ...

What a nice way to be attacked, JimT!

Treetop

Thanks guys! There was a time when I never thought I would make 67! I'm currently recuperating from my 4rth and FINAL low back surgery. I'm hoping to be able to deer hunt by later this month. I haven't "blooded" my 24", .45 caliber Rossi yet! I'll be using the RCBS 270 gr. boolit in f...

Paco, I received my phase 4 ac'urzr in the mail today! Thanks from an old retired tool and die maker. You're workmanship is top notch! Treetop

I attended my first gun show, sometime in the early 70s. It was held in the banquet room of the Shamrock HILTON Hotel in Houston, Tx.!

They've been gun friendly for a long time!

Treetop, thanks for posting a great tip on the Ethanol Gasoline 3leg. 3leg, I plan on trying this technique myself, real soon. My Cub Cadet lawn tractor won't start (again), I'm sure it's the carburetor because I put a new spark plug in and it starts immediately on starting ether but won't continue...

Treetop

I immediately took the spouts apart and ripped out the springs and other internals, then installed a screw on the top of the plastic jug for air release. --------Sixgun Plus one, Sixgun. That's exactly what I did. Here is the best idea yet on getting around the .gov mandated 10% ethanol/gasoline, I...

I've tried my best, NOT to like these "tactical" Mossbergs, but I just can't seem to dislike them as much as I hoped I would! Thanks to COSteve's good reports on them, I may have to add one to the Treetop stable, someday soon. Keep up the Mossberg "range reports" COSteve! they ar...

Heavenly Father, I ask you now in Jesus' Name to come and touch Charlie, heal him, deliver him from this illness. God, give him the strength to fight this illness. Stay with him through the discomfort he goes through. He is weak, where You are strong, he is vulnerable where You are unassailable. Wi...

Treetop

Thank YOmama! Yep, I agree! But I thought that the panic buying and stockpiling would have been limited to the more "tactical" (I HATE that word) items such as "black" guns, military ammo, hi cap mags, etc. Not tang rear sights and globe front sights! Times may be more serious t...

Treetop

Lots of machinists on the forum and among gun owners in general. Probably because they appreciate fine machines (guns) and precision (target work, reloading). Yes, that's exactly what led me to my 4 year formal apprenticeship with the National Tool Die and Precision Machining Association. The VA pa...

Treetop

I'm both pleased and surprised the local CBS affiliate aired a story where the presence of a hand gun in a law abiding home owner's hand was enough to stop a crime in progress without being fired! Our local CBS affiliate is filled with anti-2nd Amendment zealots like NBC's Bob Costas! Kudos to the h...

I called Taurus today to order the tang sight for my 24" .45 Colt Rossi and they were back ordered, the lady didn't know when they would be available... :( So, I then went to MidwayUSA's site to order my Lyman globe front sight, yep, you guessed it... back ordered. :( Since I was on their site ...

Then there is living in Texas. Most winter days are above the freezing mark, and we seldom get snow in the Dallas Area. On of the outdoor ranges in my area, Alpine gun range http://www.alpinerange.com, is open most of the time. They close Christmas day and a few other holidays, but I have never had...

Treetop

welcome to you & all your guns I have been very fortunate, ollogger. My Dad was an avid hunter, shooter and collector. As his only son, I was the recipient of probably 35-40 various long guns and a few sidearms. His passion was Browning A-5s made in Belgium and Winchester Model 12s. He also cou...

Treetop

When I was much younger, I shot lot's of paraffin boolits. I made mold which consisted of a block of aluminum drilled with several holes, just large enough to accept a .30 caliber gas check. I drilled out the flash holes in some old .30-06 cases and loaded the gas checked, 5/8" long boolits in ...

Treetop

Thanks to all for the warm welcome and providing me with the information I need about the Lyman globe front sight! Also, thanks for the folding "middle" sight idea, Pete44ru and M. M. Wright . Has anyone else noticed when joining an online forum, sometimes the "newbie" is treated...

Treetop

First of all, thanks for allowing me to become a member here! This place is packed with information and stories that have kept me busy for hours at a time! At 65, and with 3 gun safes full of firearms, I seem to have finally come a full circle... back to single action six guns and lever action rifle...
