$75-80 for an SKS HaH. I will always regret not buying a boat load of them from a guy at the Allentown Ag hall show he had a table of them 4 or 5 deep in the middle...$33 each and couldn't sell a one. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!! Tom

I was hunting black bear in the thick woods of western Maine and being a FAT BASt%^D my guide had me in a ground blind. I was between two trees with a hemp rope tied from one to the other at a bit of a angle at eye level with a piece of camo burlap draped over it and held in place with brush and log...

hey flounderjig, I don't know where you live but if your close to central Pa I can let you have a session with a 99, a straight stocked marlin a pistol grip Marlin, a pre 64 winny 94 and a post 94, oh yeah and a 1886( a real gun). I'll just have to to tell MRS fordwannabe that it is all in the name ...

One of my 10/22 has a bushnell 3x9 40 mm objective lens on it that I got at wally world. I think I paid $39 for it and at 50 yards I make my son so mad when I shoot the thumbtacks holding his targets up. Gotta get my revenge somehow! it works very well for me and doesn't hamper the smoothness or poi...

I used to use the remington 405 and after shooting a back bear and it being recovered.....in the second tree! I switched absoulutly no expansion at 1600 fps. It went through the bear through the first small tree(4 Incher) and was found in the second small tree 3 feet behind the first. Wounded the be...

I'm on the infection control commitee here at the hospital and I think I'll just go tell them what Blaine said....He'll be in trouble, He'll be in trouble! Actually I mean AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH! Tom

fordwannabe

Cause it's cool! and other than this forum most of the guys I know and at my range have never seen one. Tom

fordwannabe

I also didn't get out over the weekend. I have another round of surgery on Thursday and can't be sick. As a recovering smoker I ask if you smoke please quit. To all who will be hunting this week good luck and I'll be after them the first week of buck. Tom

fordwannabe

Heres a couple
Tightwad= he can squeeze a nickle til the buffalo sh**s.

when talking about a well endowed young lady walking toward you= it looked like 2 puppies fighting under a blanket.

When talking about a badly organized event,agency, ect= organized as a fanny burp in a hurricane.

I don't know if you cast your own or not but I really like the lee 180 gr rnfp in my marlin. Good luck Tom

fordwannabe

Each gun will tell you what it likes. You SHOULD NOT get more leading with a .001 increase but..... you never can tell. One of the cool things about cast boolits is that the experimenting is never done. Try anyhting you want(within reason) you might have to scrub a little lead if you go the wrong wa...

I am going to the drag racers flea market at maple grove on the morning of the 17th and squirrel hunting in the afternoon then around 330 I'll slip into the woods with my .....uhhm (gulp) in-line. But I do have a lefty flinter for after christmas and Dixon's muzzleloader shop is one of my favorite p...

This is a very near and dear topic to me this week. Last year a very good friend died unexpectantly at the age of 36(natural causes). We cried and were dismayed, but had to do something for his wife and son. last saturday night my brother and I hosted a charity poker tourney in his honor. We were ab...

fordwannabe

Your right Joe! your probably the first person ever to miss something like that, I KNOW I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT..ok maybe not yet....today. If you work on stuff long enough your gonna have stuff like this, but you found it and fixed it so no harm no foul. have a great day Tom

Claybob 86 is a man who knows leverguns. I have wanted an original 86 with an octagon full length barrel since I was 15 years old(now 44), but when I had the money couldn't find one and when I found em didn't have the money(sound familiar to any of you). Tom

fordwannabe

A S&W 29 with an 8 3/8 barrel. OK just kidding but I felt so many people had already said Bearcat, I just wanted to be different. I'd go with a Bearcat or single six, but that's just me, Tom

fordwannabe

When I lived in the woods of Maine we kept a 1895ss stoked up with 405 grainers by the door for vermin of all types two and four legged, and a marlin 336 30-30 for her cause she didn't like the recoil of the big brother. We had horses and were on the lookout for wolf and bear ....mostly. Tom

fordwannabe

I can't help with the why but I can tell you that a deer won't go within 50 yards of a dog, so this might be an answer. Also might try whacking them in the rear with a bb gun. it won't hurt them but startles the wee out of em.Tom

fordwannabe

Casatahle, I have a little wire clip that came with mine that has a place to clip a lanyard to it, I don't know if yours had one or not but mine was in the box and had to be installed(keeps it from rolling around too). Tom

fordwannabe

I use an old surefire 6 al(I think) if you can't see it with that you need glasses. Tom

fordwannabe

Look for Egan hill plantation. Keith is a real nice guy. I have hunted with him 6 or 7 times and always had a good time. He has recently moved to a new location near florida and I haven't been to the new place but he is a good dude. Tell him 'FAT TOMMY" told you. Good luck it is a fun hunt.

fordwannabe

Thanks O.S I thought I was alone on this one.

fordwannabe

I just talked to a Jewish carpenter about your back. Good luck

fordwannabe

You asked so I'm gonna give you my opinion. My first marlin was a 1895 45-70 and of all my leverguns it is still my "go to gun". It can be used for anything(might be a bit much for squirrels or rabbits, but is awesome on fat groundhogs) and the availability of components and factory ammo i...

Looks very good!!! but did you flip the negative or something the holster seems to be on the wrong side

Hobie, you were articulate in your endeavor to create a peaceful environment here, I believe a small translation may be in order for those of us who may not be up to your level of elocution....
BE NICE!!!

WoW Anaconda MT, I lived in Galen for several years back in the 1980's(graduated from Powell Couty high in Deer Lodge). Thanks for the load, I am trying to find a good one. I even emailed Mike Venturino for his favorite load on another site he lurks on. If any body has a pet load I bet he does. Than...

hey Thunder can you PM me please. Thanks Tom

fordwannabe

Mike D I know it doesn't make sense but I waited 28 years to get an original 1886 and I don't want to even think about messing it up where I hunt in the rain. I KNOW THIS GUN HAS BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT AND IT SHOWS, but I don't want to add to the character of it just yet, especially when I have 3 ...

1886(late 1902) 33wcf until it rains or is blooded then 336 in 35 remington. I have two doe tags in addition to the antlered tag.Tom

fordwannabe

I think Tutt may have stumbled on to something when he said he is new to the firearms thing. When I was in my mid 20's(10 years gun experience) you would not have caught me with a 30-30 any where around me. I had to have a big boomer, the 30-30 was still there but it eventually got sold off to trade...

fordwannabe

That's what is so great about this site. I don't get to hang with a lot of good old fashioned "country" people as much as I'd like and "y'all" remind me of what the good folks are like.Tom

I don't want the bullets, but you made my day. Thank you!

fordwannabe

#1 It is the Ford truck of the gun world! Sure there are others that shoot farther, faster, louder ,impress the guy next to you more ect.ect.ect but it does it all. Not the best power, not the prettiest, not the most technically advanced but when there is work to be done you can rely on old faithful...

Nath you are not alone!!! For my anniversary this year my wife got me an original double hammer front stuffer. The locks are in good shape the barrels look nice but I am heating and kroiling the nipples, If I can get them out and use my buddies bore scope(just to be sure) I shall be joining you. Tom

What is wrong with micro groove and cast boolits? I have both Marlin and Winny's and my Marlins with cast boolits are at least as accurate as my winny's if not more so. This is an old wives tale that micro groove won't shoot cast. Pretty cheap too if your supplying ammo for 5 Kids at one time, I hav...

I went to the Harrisburg Pa show on Saturday. Ran into a friend from another forum and he threw me to the floor and twisted my arm behind my back until I bought a 1978 Marlin 1894 in 44mag...well that's the story if my wife ever figures out that I haven't owned it for a few years. $315 OTD. He got a...

Other hobbies, I have a pro street 66 mustang under complete rebuild(hanging on a rotissierie(I can't spell) with nothing but the bare shell untouched will hopefully be ready for next summer...but my son is rebuilding a 1966 mustang also and he can't do some of the more technical stuff like replacin...

My 16 year old is now 6'3'' and 239 pounds. I explained if he can move fast enough to chase down running backs...HE CAN COME UP WITH THE ENERGY TO CUT THE GRASS. I do it once in awhile cause I like to ride my GREEN AND YELLOW machine occasionally. Tom

I used to have a video tape called fast and fancy shooting which had Bill Jordan, Herb Parsons, and vintage footage of ed McGivern, among many others. Very impressive stuff Bil j did the ball on the back of the hand into the holster trick but I was most impressed with him shooting an asiprin at 20 f...

I want a FCD and a zip trimmer for my 33wcf lee makes the dies(I own a set) but they don't list either FCD or trimmer. I see they offer to make this stuff custom but I don't know about turn around and stuff like that. Any info or personal experiences? Thanks Tom

fordwannabe

Prayers sent...Go! The absolute worse thing that can happen from you going is you put your arm around your Mom and squeeze, and your Dad is really OK. I'm not thinking thats such a bad outcome. What if something goes wrong and nobody is there for your Mom? I got to TN on Friday night and Dad pasted ...

A BIG +1 on the FCD. Tom

I like hard kicking handguns...but when I got my Ruger SBH with the 4 1/2 in barrel with my handloads it was ugly. I mean I shot 5 shots and said the H with this(yes I know I could have backed off the powder but we all know that wasn't going to happen). I sent it out right away and am very glad I di...

I try to keep 500 bullets for each of the loads I don't cast for. I get brass as it becomes available 30-06 I have enough to last a lifetime. 30-30 I just bought 500 from a guy for $10 at an auction in addition to what I already had, 223 many thousands of empties cause I got them CHEAP. I can shoot ...

Just finished a load developement session with my 336 in 35 Remington. I am using a RCBS 35-200-fp with 36.0 grains of 3031 sized 359 with a GC and it shoots a big hole with ten shots. It is not high power but the rifle likes it and it will kill a whitetail. I crimped in the grove and used lee zip t...

Thanks thunder 50, there is a big gun show in Harrisburg on Sat if I don't find any at the show I'll take em, if thats okay with you. Thanks for the reply. Tom

fordwannabe

Thanks for the info on the load I will start with the 4895 and start at 42 grains and go from there. I don't suppose anybody has an extra box of the hornady 200 grainers they would be willing to part with? Tom

I've been 6 times and still haven't seen enough. They keep changing displays. My all time favorite was "the real guns of our reel heros" boy that was something. The gatling gun used by John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn was pretty cool too.! Of course the M1 garand display was nice...then there...
