So Perry, are you going to see what you can do with the Charter Arms? I had a friend who filled in some deep pits on a 1911 slide with J-B Weld and sanded it smooth then coated it with one of the oven cured epoxy finishes (I think from Brownells) dark matte gray came out looking pretty good.

My favorite early '60s TV theme music (Besides Rawhide) was the music from Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.

Had a dog that could open combination locks on his kennel. Had to replace 'em with key locks. I trained my dog to bring in the newspaper from the driveway, eventually he learned to bring in the mail and would sort it by magazines, letters and bills. Worked great until I realized that he signed up f...

I have some S&B .303 British that I've shot in my Lee Enfield No 4 MkIs. Seems ok to me, I've only reloaded the brass once so far. Seems like decent stuff.

I can't answer for the others but for me: I do like the .30-30 and currently have four, Marlin 336, Mossberg 472, Winchester trapper, Winchester Classic. The 38-55 is a similar round except to me a little harder hItting at similar ranges than the .30-30 because of the larger diameter, heavier bullet...

Shorty on left, LuLu behind on right, last summer. LuLu passed away a couple of weeks ago from undiagnosed diabetes.

maybe a model 14 , with those grips. didn't the 15s come with magna grips? Usually the model 14 has a Patridge front sight and the model 15 has a ramp front sight. I believe that Magnas were standard on both model 14 and 15s. The grips on that revolver are Magnas, at least they look like they are t...

There was a guy on ar15.com who posted pics and a great explanation of how he used electrolysis to remove/dissolve the rust from a 1911 that looked as bad as the model 15 on top. When he started, not one part would move. He actually got it where it would function, I don't recall if he fired it but i...

He probably meant to install a grease zerk so that you wouldn't have to oil the choke but could give it a little grease now and then.

I grew up all over at various Air Force bases. My mother's favorite uncle was a ranch manager in south Louisiana near where both sets of my grandparents lived.

Being an MP ('73-'76), M16 magazine pouches were not part of our TA 50 gear issue. Whenever we shot our M16s, we had one 20 round mag and seven pocket cotton bandoliers with 5.56 on 10 round stripper clips (140 rounds) to reload our one magazine with. Sort of an MP version of Barney Fife's single bu...

Mescalero, I think Chris was suggesting that you trim 9mm brass back to length and neck it down for your .32 NAA if you can't find .380 brass.

My very first Win 94 SRC ( circa 1909 ) was devoid of the saddle ring when I got it. Someone had kindly fabricated a home made plug with a screwdriver slot for it so it was easy to remove.

I have no experience with the .450 Marlin, but at that price I could gain some in short order. Good deal on that BLR! My only concern would be stocking up on brass. There is certainly a large variety of .458" bullets to choose from.

Good for you.

We have beef that we have had in the freezer for two plus years. Double wrapped, and kept frozen, I have never had any problems. I believe that it could go longer but personally have never kept any longer. I have never had any problem with freezer burn in 2 1/2 years either.
