Thanks Mike D. Tom

When I am doing load work ups I put a 18X scope on everything, do the load developement then put on what ever sights or scope is going on it. I know the problem from then on isn't the gun or load(normally the loose nut behind the trigger). Boy do I get some funny looks at the range with a 16 inch lo...

I would think they are exactly backwards from one another. One you push the lever away from you and the other you pull the slide toward you, both on the first action. Tom

Six gun will you please let me in on your 33wcf load. I only have 76 of the hornady FP left and don't really want to chase a load if you can put me on the right path. I have some of the HAWK bullets and a few cast but I really want to try the Hornady's. Thanks Tom

I was shooting my 99 yesterday with some RCBS 30 180-fp's I cast from WQWW. At 50 yards no recoil and 1 little itty bitty hole. It isn't a 600whizbangsupermagnurdeerassassin but we're only shooting whitetails. Around here a bunch of guys use a stick with a string on it to launch another stick with f...

They are just pieces of steel and wood..but..they are a tangible link to the people who meant so much to me. When I am really missing my Dad I can go look at his guns and remember a good time we had together with that piece of steel and wood. My grandmother is the one who taught me how to shoot, and...

I'd like to buy that young man a BIG steak dinner. I think he will do well in this life football or not. Tom

I have my GGfathers 12 gauge double also, least expensive gun I own...but if you want that gun, you better bring some of your own...you're gonne need um. Also have some of grandfathers and Dad's and 2 of Grandmothers..didn't mess with her(high standard model "A" and colt police positive). ...

Anybody who watched Shootingusa last night know the answer to this weeks question about who Buck Montgomery first stunt doubled for? I missed most of the show. Tom

Hey Griff back in my "professional tourist" days I delivered to quite a few neat gun places in Mass and CT. I did get my most interesting souveniers from a forge in Ct that produced stuff for S&W and Colt. I got a k frame forging and a 1911 forging and a m60 front sight forging also. Tom

Joe I do not believe that they ship, they are very much a cash and carry operation. I will call and see what they have on hand. Tom

fordwannabe

I am paying $3 a pound for tin and 30 cents a pound for pure, here, so for $6 at 300gr per bullet you'll get about 250 bullets. I'd make my own. Tom

My dad got an "engraving pencil" back in the seventies and put his SS# on all kinds of stuff...winchester 94, winchester 67a, colt woodsman, high standard supermatic, ect ect. Oh Daddy why? Tom

I started in Feb. 1979. I got a lee load er for my 12 gauge for my 14th birthday. I also was given 3 lessons on how to use it. The guy who gave me the lessons, hired me to reload for his gunshop after the third lesson. Tom

Garlits raced a fighter that was attachted to the steam catapult on a aircraft carrier...and won. I think it was swamp rat 30 it had the enclosed canopy and small front wheels(the car not the fighter). That car eventually flipped over backwards(in seattle I think) and was destroyed. I went to the Ga...

I was actually at the toyo tires nationals last weekend here in Reading. I have raced at that track but there is nothing like the top fuelers and Tffc. It is way louder than the whole pack coming out of turn four at Talladega. Tom

You wanna talk about dumb stuff you do as a kid, my brother (who was on the ground with me on top of him) told me I wouldn't shoot him in the leg with a bb gun he would tell mom. Well last year at hunting camp I saw the tiny black area on his thigh Yep 33 years later and it's still in there. I am no...

If somebody was going to do something like this would you have to fill out a form to notify the ATFE or since it is a handgun to rifle senario is it ok without notification? I have a topbreak 32 that I got for nothing and it would be a good use for it. Tom

fordwannabe

Bwana I have to disagree a little bit. The biggest thing to home gunsmithing is having a bunch of junkers to practice on after figuring out how to do it. My toolbox in the garage is about 6 and a half feet tall and I have special gunsmithing tools also such as a receiver wrench and barrelnut wrench ...

I like the rounds I like. Have I had other chamberings? Yeap got rid of what I didn't like kept what I did. This whole idea can be summed up in one thought can anybody remember the electric fired remingtons from a few years ago? It was gonna be the wave of the future...UH huh. I don't think I will h...

AJDM is a DR and I am just a nurse, but I agree with him. I have seen several people who have the same reactions you are describing on one statin and when switched to another it was better, maybe not 100% right, but better. Good luck. Tom

fordwannabe

I truly appreciate your offer griff but unlike others(Washington types) I don't think it's fair to burden others with my problems. Now if everyone here would cut into their family budget to send me a few dollars for ammo because I have less than others(I shot it, you gun grabbing jerks AND I ENJOYED...

fordwannabe

Thanks, I realized after I sent it I forgot a couple calibers but 7.62x39 and 40 S&W might be too new. I would like to say in response to Hillbilly's post, I think Glen Fryxell, Mike Venturino and our own Paco follow in the tradition of the guys who are shooters that happen to write about it, an...

I kind of have to agree when did the whitetail deer become armor plated. I keep hearing that the 30-30, 308, ect,ect isn't a good deer round anymore. Anybody want to guess how many whitetail have fallen to a thurty thurty. How about elk hunting you can't shoot elk with an 06 "it isn't enough gu...

I bought one a couple of months ago and it is still wearing the scope until I find the right 22 ammo for it. Guys I need support from you on this, it is a real drain to have to go to the LGS and buy a different type of 22 ammo each week and then drag myself kicking and screamming to the range, just ...

fordwannabe

Sorry to hear about that Mike. My biggest concern would be for the gun. I had one returned to me after it was used in a crime and I felt real bad about that. Not my fault somebody took my possesions and used them in a bad way but I still felt bad. Good luck Tom

Prayers sent, reminds me of what "tough times" really are ,not the little annoyances(sp) of my life. God Bless.

There must be something to them, I never seen a used one for sale. I haven't been looking that long though. Tom

How many you want 50 be enough to start? PM me an addy. I am grateful for the help lots of people gave me when I started and I'll be happy to send you some, just pay it forward at some point.Tom

No chute, and we couldn't see the deer from the stands so we were all like what is this clown doing, something must be wrong with the car, but when he hit the deer you could hear it and the spray was noticable from the stands.

Oh my I haven't heard a good North Dakota joke since I moved away from Montana in the late 1980's, but I hear a bunch of New Jersey jokes now! Tom

Jason, I have been doing load developement on my 35 remmington for the last few weeks. I have been having very good luck with an rcbs 200 grain fp gas checked over 36.0 grains of 3031. I have them sized .359 (the 358 2 inch groups the 359 1 inch groups, the 360 2 1/2 inch groups)Just a load that my ...

Thank you! I plan to attend...again.

Reminds me of a drag racing accident a couple years ago at Maplegrove raceway in Reading Pa. A front engine dragster(old school) was at the line when a couple of deer started across the top end of the track. The driver tried to avoid them to the point he rolled the dragster on its side but it righte...

A little hijack here but when is the Harrisburg show? the 12 or something like that? Thanks Tom

I am on a mission to complete the pledge this year also. Last year I bought an original 86 in 33wcf and after all the hassel of finding bullets it liked and forming brass and getting it ready ...I missed. The deer wasn't that far away and I didn't have branches or anything in the way I just blew it....

I have become very lazy I guess I bought the lee zip trimmer cutters in lots of calibers and I just run them through on my electric drill. It seems to work very consistently and for the most part my Lyman manual trimmer and my Lyman power trimmer don't get used much. My thought is as long as they ar...

She hasn't noticed the ...

Hey Madman, if it's a big problem for ya, I'll be happy to help you out with one of those 600 pounders around Thanksgiving. You know it's all about helping you out you know. Tom

fordwannabe

I bet those bullets would work like a champ on those big, mean, snortin, dangerous 130lbs whitetail does we have here in PA too. Yeah I'm a smart aleck, my Dad told me "find something your good at and stick with it", this is all I got.

Not exactly what you asked but I use the rcbs 180gr rnfp mould for my marlin 336 and it closes well and is very accurate with a little 3031 in the case. Tom

I want a original 1886 in 45-70 octagon barrel with the full length mag to replace my 1903 86 in 33wcf with half mag. I have wanted the 45-70 oct since I was 15 finally got a 86 at age 43 but it's just not the one I want, but it is in original configuration so I don't want to add the 45-70 octogon b...

My grandmother from Virginia(who we all called Mur) didn't have to say a word she'd just look at you overr her glasses and you knew you were being stupid somehow.

Guys Guys Guys, your all lame, any hollywood hero can do it standing on the ground and using a rifle. The best long shots of all cinema time are Roy Rodgers and the lone ranger.
