My folks took me down to Brazil when I was just a wee lad. We first lived near the mouth of the Amazon river in the city of Belém before moving to a frontier town 500 miles south. It was a wonderful time for us kids, growing up in a wild, beautiful part of God’s globe. The area is between two major...

About 20 years ago, I had an uncle pass. His son showed up at my dad's and left a bunch of his dad's guns, headed back to California, and was never heard from again. We sat on em all this time, until I figured 20 years was long enough. There was an early post-64 94 30-30 carbine in there that looke...

The Old Man was living on the Spear S Ranch north of Phoenix, up near the New River country, when the thieves hit the place. The Spear S was an old ranch and typical of the times and the country, most everything was just left where it happened to light. Doors were not locked and trouble was not e...

There is a company called Havelin that also has Mossberg parts.

I can't help but wonder if the greatly increased pressure would be a problem???

....Every time I have to do something simple to Winchester 92, even just clean the chamber, I realize why I like Marlins better.

frankly I'm pretty sure the 44-40 brass isn't nearly as strong as 44 mag..... :o Does not necessarily matter. The 44 Magnum was designed for revolvers, not rifles. yeah, it does matter - pressure is pressure So take a good look at the photo, do you seriously think there is much difference between t...

Hmm, so what i get from that is standard 44 mag load data can be used in a 44wcf as long as its in a 92 or stronger action. Is that right? frankly I'm pretty sure the 44-40 brass isn't nearly as strong as 44 mag..... :o Does not necessarily matter. The 44 Magnum was designed for revolvers, not rifl...

A few years ago at a holiday family reunion, my son and I mobbed together with an in law to buy 5,000 rounds of something. Another in law was listening and became indignant.....you know......"what honest man needs 5,000 cartridges ?" Well, first off, it was just 5,000 divided amongst thre...

300 lbs = thousands of rounds? what caliber???

not stupid at all - to shoot that far with handgun velocities you need to allow for a lot of drop.
guess you have never seen the scope bases used by long range RIFLE shooters.....

I was thinking of using the 30-30 I am working on for deer this Fall. I mentioned that and had a young man tell me that, while the old 30-30 may have worked years ago, today they did not have enough power for deer. The deer are much tougher these days. He started naming some of the more modern and ...

At our monthly shoot last week-end I shot kinda' mediocre to fair except for "pistol caliber levergun" where the old 38/40 just got on fire and made a perfect score. In our match we shoot 2 shots as "sighters" and 5 for score at the 50,100, 150, and 200 yard targets. So "pe...

Ask AJMD429 about it. In the Medical Professions we must learn to see and hear things which would normally scar our minds for life.
